Logan is the result of our three owners' desire to establish in Ann Arbor an elegant, contemporary restaurant based on Chef Thad Gillies' interpretation of "New American" cuisine. Named for our chef's son, Logan opened in November 2004, with the backing of friends and family. While we were (are) quite different than the typical college town restaurant, we were fortunate to receive some nice early press, and are proud to have garnered a loyal clientele that has kept our dream alive. And what is that dream? To create a place where we, as professionals, can stretch our creative wings to do the best work we are capable of, and without the competing agendas of outside ownership. We have a shared faith that there is a segment of the public that will respond to and rally to support the independent pursuit of excellence. As the seasons have passed, we have earned a reputation as one of Ann Arbor's very best restaurants, with acclaim for our lovingly made food, our great selection of boutique wine and spirits, and our warm service being received in roughly equal amounts.
