Our favorite!! It’s been praised by NYTimes: Spencer is a neighborhood wine shop & restaurant in Ann Arbor.
we focus on the best ingredients, we make our food with only the utmost care, we consider each bottle of wine to be a treasure and, perhaps most importantly, we have the best team in the world. nestled in downtown Ann Arbor, we are a small restaurant with communal tables filled with simple fare, good company, and shelves brimming with wine.
