Drink lists abound, but because it was lunchtime we stuck to food. We were not disappointed. Everything was well conceived and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bone bread next time, stew and scrumptious sounding salads. Today we had the kids smash burger, Brussels burger with frites and fried haddock and frites with a delicious coleslaw. The best part? Different sauces to choose to dip the fries in. The curry ketchup was the best (special shout out for *actually* cooking the curry into the ketchup) as it did not taste of raw curry. They definitely don't cut corners here. We noticed, and we appreciated it. We will be back.

It is an adorable restaurant, very comfortable, and smells like grandma has been cooking all day on a Sunday. Our server was INCREDIBLE, brutally honest when we asked questions or for her opinion. My husband ordered the chicken Alfredo and noted that it was very bland with "crunchy" pieces throughout. I ordered the shrimp scampi, on recommendation of our server, and the dish itself was incredible, but the shrimp were very small and so rubbery and overcooked that they were nearly hard to chew. I told my husband that I would love that dish without the shrimp, as the shrimp detracted from the dish overall. We were a little disappointed they didn't offer any sort of salad or bread service. My house Pinot Grigio was tasty and paired great with our meal. It's literally within walking distance of our home, so we may try it again down the road, but it just wasn't the local home run I was hoping for.

It was super cool and very comfortable, including the fireplace in the bar area. We came in at about 8:45, about an hour before closing. Our waitress was friendly and fast with the drinks and appetizers. My friends ordered some seared sriracha ahi tuna and an order of chicken nachos. The nachos were HUGE for an app. The ahi tuna was really good, it was blackened with a nice heat from the sriracha. For dinner I ordered the 12oz Ribeye with double broccoli, since I am low carb. That steak was cooked a perfect medium. It was one of the best steaks I have had out in a while. The price was right and the service matched. Check out Ted's if you are in the area.

It wasn't too crowded and the cozy feel we experienced last weekend was still there. The music this week from the bar next door was much less intrusive as it was week. To start we ordered cocktails, he had a tequila old fashioned and I had the pear and spice mocktail - add vodka. Ha. Desiree was so kind and accommodating especially since it required her to go find a couple ingredients from the other bar next door. It loved it and appreciated that she didn't just say she couldn't make it. The bread that is brought out prior to our salads was outstanding! Warm sourdough with roasted garlic butter and olive oil with crushed red pepper. I know it's "only bread" but it was so good. For salads, he had the bruschetta Caesar which was so interesting and tasty! He especially liked that the accompanying toppings - croutons, tomatoes and shaved parm were in separate groupings on the plate, allowing him to leave off or not have to pick out the croutons. The romaine had a "char" and it added a little smokiness that paired well with the sharp tang of the dressing. I had the wedge, it's a classic at a steakhouse and it did not disappoint. I requested no red onion and there was not one to be found . The dressing was really good and not the super thick goop it is at other establishments. There was a good amount of quality bleu cheese and the iceberg was cold and crisp. For entrees I knew I wanted something that would reheat well. I rarely finish my entrees and anticipated bringing half of it home. I went with the Chicken Parmesan. It was incredible! NOTHING like any chicken parm I've ever had. It had a lemon basil beurre blanc sauce that was to die for. I highly recommend this take on a classic. He had the ribeye steak and he was very pleased. Cooked to perfection. The sides or mashed potatoes and vegetables were delicious too. We were too full for dessert, but I had my eye on the crème brûlée, next time. Because we will absolutely be back.

Service was slow out of the gate -- despite our waiter hanging out with a table he clearly knew. Food didn't fare much better. We ordered the smash burger, which by definition should come with cheese and smash sauce -- that's the whole point of a smash burger, not an add-on. Ours came with neither, and even though it had two patties, we had to pay extra just to add a single slice of cheese. It was incredibly dry, even after adding that cheese and trying table condiments to compensate. The chicken tenders looked appetizing but the chicken itself was stringy and overcooked. Dessert was the low point. We ordered the Oreo cheesecake bites and waited over 20 minutes, only to be served what was essentially liquid pudding in a shooter glass with whipped cream on top. Our server admitted, "I didn't know I was supposed to make it" -- it seems the dessert needed time to set in the fridge and was served before it was ready. While we were waiting we heard another table complaining. The server responded "chill. It's all good". The table responded "actually it's not all good!" Three strikes and we're out. We won't be back.

While there were a ton of people downtown Grand Haven (it was a Saturday night in the summer), we found parking immediately across the street and didn't have a wait for service. The service was good and food came out efficiently. We ordered the fish (cod) and chips basket with the stinky fry upgrade as well as 2 pieces of Whitefish, and a side cucumber salad. It came out PIPING HOT. The cod was flakey and delicious. Perfectly crispy and perfectly cooked. "Stinky fries" are absolutely covered in garlic. I didn't mind them, but am not much of a fry eater. My partner enjoyed them with the hot sauce offered at the window. He also enjoyed the Whitefish. The coleslaw is creamy with a slight kick (similar to the "kick" of a radish). The cucumber salad was really good. It was dill, cucumber, onion, and then some form of liquid (possibly a brine). Personally, my initial thought was that it's a bit pricey for what you get, but it's downtown Grand Haven so to be expected. Similarly served food at a *fancy* restaurant would probably be less delicious and we would wind up paying more. They do give you an ample amount of fries, also.
