Again, maybe thats what the chef was after. space in Salems historic Gray Building into a new location for Amadeus Restaurant. Very flavorful but the cake was super dense. SALTY! Way too salty! Maybe thats what the chef was after, but it didnt work for my wife. I asked for a bite and almost made the same face. My wife ordered the Classic and could not eat the steak medallions. I had the Oh My Cod and it was excellent.

I made sure to order another drink when I was finally served my first. While the drinks still took forever, the appetizers arrived promptly.

Past this point our service was exceptional. The explanation given is we were seated between 2 servers areas and they both assumed we were the others responsibility. Fashioned after old-world Viennese cafes, Amadeus Restaurant offers a hearty menu of authentic, traditional and award-winning dishes from Central Europe (Poland, Hungary and Austria), a wide selection of European wines and beers, and a menu of homemade desserts, pastries and tortes. I was about to cross the divide and place our order at the bar when my wife got the attention of the hostess. Amadeus Restaurant is a unique, world-class dining spot in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor. 2 tables that arrived after us were waited on while we languished of thirst, mere feet from the bar. I cant tell if this place is trying too hard or not trying enough.
