Great little restaurant! We were driving through the area and stopped for lunch. We were unsure of how fancy we should be dressed, based on reviews, but while the food itself was pretty fancy, it was a fairly informal lunch counter. We did not feel out-of-place in our traveling clothes. I'm sure dinner could be beautifully high-class, however, in such a setting. The outside of the restaurant did not look like much, but the inside was very contemporary. The seating areas were very cute, especially the outdoor patio. I had the daily special "Purple Haze," and it was delicious! Such a great pairing of flavors, and their milk bread is delicious! My companions liked their sandwiches and salad too. We came around 1 pm and ordered and ate in about an hour.
This was our first time dining at Bellflower in Ypsilanti, and it more than lived up to its stellar reputation. I enjoyed a fantastic plate of pork chops with crispy sweet potatoes and mixed vegetables—comforting, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My daughter ordered the crispy whole cornmeal trout with milk bread stuffing, topped with a sunny side up duck egg. The dish was both surprising and delicious, and a highlight of the night. We started with a selection of East and West Coast oysters—fresh, briny, and expertly shucked—and ended with their warm, rich bread pudding with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Every course felt thoughtful and impressively executed. The service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Even on a freezing night, the outdoor patio was surprisingly pleasant. The food was so good we decided to take two Turkey gumbo‘s to go to enjoy later. For a first visit, Bellflower left a great impression. We’ll definitely be back.
I've been told many times to try Bellflower and tonight was finally the night! Everyone was friendly and our server was amazing! The food was flavorful and delicious. We loved the tinned fish appetizer. The combination of bread with fish was delicious. We also got a few orders of oysters and shrimp. All the seafood was super fresh. I loved the seashell pasta dish. Dave makes the best fresh pasta! The Chowder was also amazing. The shrimp was perfectly tender and the roasted vegetables were a great addition. Loved our meal! Can't wait to come back!

We’ve eaten here dozens of times, by far the best restaurant in the Ann Arbor area. Drinks and vibe are amazing, food is incredibly good and fresh, and they always come up with such unique menus. The staff is so passionate about Bellflower, and so are we!!
came for dinner and were sat in the outdoor covered seating area while it was raining. super cute area, but it was cold with the rain as the door was open to the outside. the food and drinks were unique and delicious! we shared the mussels which were nice and spicy, and I had the pork chops which were fantastic. the lemon butter cake was a lovely finish
The food was amazing, The chef is terrific! New daily menu. The porch chops were out of this World. Our waiter, Paul was so kind, professional, accommodating and fun. He was a definite highlight. The food and atmosphere are very comfortable and kind of posh at the same time. I definitely recommend this restaurant over the many in downtown Ann Arbor, to be honest. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was a great spot for brunch. The delice des cremiers was incredible - nice balance between Brie, honey, and candied cashews. The boudin was phenomenal - nice and crispy but not dry on the inside, the hash and eggs that came with it were cooked perfectly. The gumbo was excellent - collard greens and chicken were a great addition to the dish and complimented by a perfectly cooked poached egg. Waitstaff was polite and attentive, elevating the experience. Would definitely come back
Go for dinner. Go for brunch. Go for wine. Just go! Always the first name out of my mouth when people ask for a recommendation. Best food, great wine selection and cocktail program, and the friendliest people. Been a big fan since their opening, Bellflower is a truly special place that I love sharing with family and friends.
The menu was quite short - but the people we went on dinner with told us that they have a menu switch every now and then, and most stuff they have is really good. And it was! We ordered the fried fish, bread and butter and chicken bougin, along with the bread pudding. Every was super tasty and the service was quite quick and good! Even something as simple as bread and butter was well made. The drinks are also good! Definitely recommend.
