It was very loud and crowded. There was som type of group on the bar side that was very noisy. Service wasn’t good. Our waiter was not very attentive and spent alot of time talking to other employees or on his phone rather than checking his tables. We sat for a long time waiting for water and drinks. He never brought us the silverware we requested twice. My food arrived cold and for what the charged for the mahi tacos there was very little mahi on them

We are from the north side of Grand Rapids and were in the area for my husband & friend's birthday so I made a reservation here not knowing anything about it and we were very happy with our food and experience! Sheridan was amazing, very friendly and had great recommendations for us. Food was great and so was the atmosphere. Only thing we did not like was the service charge regardless of party size. It was a flat % that is shared amongst people who never even interacted with us/prepared our food so if we wanted to tip our waitress specifically we had to tip even more. Being familiar with the hospitality industry tips are earned via interactions not guaranteed just for showing up... That policy should be reviewed...

Loved the kale and root vegetable salad - very tasty and not overdressed. The Mexican corn soup was also delicious- the cup was a much larger portion than I expected. Service was great.

We had dinner here for our 50th wedding anniversary. They gave us a nice table by the windows. The food was very good. I had shrimp and grits and hubby had the walleye. Both excellent. We were given a dessert for our celebration which was a fabulous cheesecake. Luis our server was attentive and great.
