When we walked in we actually inquired about a dress code because we felt under dressed. And neither of us are really ever under dressed. There wasn't one so we took a seat the bar. This place is huge and beautiful. There is a gorgeous patio area and bar stools outside lining the indoor bar with garage doors that were open. I love an open air bar in the summer. It makes it feel so.... Summery. Our bartender was wonderful! Super helpful and accommodating. We spilt the lobster rolls because there were two of them and I never eat all of my food anyway. They split them up and gave us two plates with separate fries etc. The presentation was great. The food was delicious! I was working while we were there and needed to get on a few meetings so we ended up hanging out for about two hours. They were so good to us. Most definitely will be back!

The prices are high, but not as high as Ruth's Chris across the street and I actually liked the food better. I got the Lump Crab cake dinner and it is amazing! It comes with 2 crab cakes, mashed potatoes and green beans. I took leftovers and had a great snack later. My friend got the fish and chips and said it was delicious and he had leftovers too because it was a big portion. The service was great and food was phenomenal!

I went as a party of 8, including 2 young kids. Each of us had a great time. My daughter loved the seafood cake duet, one was lobster-shrimp and the other was crab.

The Parker rolls may seem 'regular' but they do rolls WELL! They are soft with a slightly hard top (in a good way) with a fluffy and whipped butter. The burger is classic and do NOT skip the added fries! The steak was also delicious, although I am not a steak connoisseur so I think it was similarly good as the hanger steak from a previous experience. The ambiance is romantic and laid back with dim lights and impeccable service!

The atmosphere was so relaxing and made the whole experience even better. My server was the sweetest and recommended the Limoncello Spritz, which ended up being light, crisp, and super refreshing. For my entrée, I ordered the Mafaldine. The pasta was fresh, the steak was cooked perfectly, and everything was seasoned so well. It was a very satisfying meal. Between the beautiful outdoor seating, incredible service, and amazing food, Gin Gin's is easily one of the restaurants I'll be visiting again whenever I'm in Grand Rapids.

I quite adored this little restaurant. It felt very elevated with the service to match. It was a…read morepleasant experience from the beginning. Although it is small with limited seating, I think it makes it difficult for reservations as they cannot always clear the table at your reservation time. But in their defense, I can see how you would want to spend more time at your table catching up with friends or a loved one with how intimate this restaurant is. However, I thought the food was excellent. It was all perfectly cooked and displayed eloquently. The handmade pasta most certainly did not disappoint. The ingredients tasted fresh. I personally enjoy when the plates are smaller, it's always fun to share with others. Though it would be worth mentioning that each plate is quite pricey but I thought it was worth the cost.

Polpo con patate Tagliatelle…read moreVongole Casa spritz This is a very classy, beautiful place inside where you could feel underdressed. Started with an amuse bouche which had too much balsamic. The polpo had amazing, spicy sauce and would've been outstanding except the octopus was quite chewy. The vongole was good except, for me, the homemade pasta was under cooked. The star was the tagliatelle which was phenomenal. I don't like mushrooms because of the rubbery texture but these chanterelles were perfect as was the sauce and pasta. They gave us a little complementary bit of cake which was a nice way to end the meal.

I went here for the first time in 2026 after constantly hearing good things about this place. I was…read morereally surprised at how extravagantly themed the restaurant is. The theming is truly off the charts with so many cool things everywhere you look. I've been in both the lower and upper floors of the restaurant and the fun follows all throughout. The food was good and had good portion sizes. The menu has a lot of Hawaiian and Asian flavors represented. The drink menu is massive with a great section of NA mocktails that were really fairly priced. We got drinks and entrees and the entire process took around 45 minutes with me struggling to decide what to order. The service is really attentive without being overbearing. The use of both servers and food runners allowed for the process to be quick while not feeling rushed at all. Our server also gave great recommendations and was helpful throughout the night. While the price of things may feel high, I do think the ambiance was pretty worth the cost and the food was enjoyable! I'd definitely come back.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Everything on the menu sounded so delicious and our server helped us narrow it down to some great recommendations. We started with the crawfish beignets and they were fantastic. For my dinner, I had the Crawfish Etoufee and I loved it. It was definitely spicy like they warned us, but we really enjoyed it. The gumbo was also spicy but full of flavor. My wife loved her gumbo paired with the honey pecan shrimp appetizer. Our cocktails were also perfect and the drink list is great. Overall, from beginning to end, we loved our dinner. You have to give them a shot!

This has shrimp and crayfish smothered in a rich Cajun sauce over rice. The shrimp were very large and delicious. The whole dish was perfectly cooked. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It was the perfect portion size as I was stuffed. I also ordered their Louisiana Albita Root Beer ($4). How have I never heard of this brand, it is fantastic. One of the best Canned Root Beers I've had. The service was very good. Super friendly and efficient. The only advice I could give was my waitress needs to speak up, she had too quite a voice. The cook and also a manager or owner came out and asked how everything was. Excellent, you guys are doing something the right way. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely! New Orleans cuisine done right.

The PEAR PIZZA was so good. Be adventurous and try!!!! SERVICE They were so kind and quickly got our drinks. They attended us while we pow-wowed.

The bad news was they were small. The worse news they were the best Chicken I've had in Grand Rapids. They have something call crack spice on it and it is definitely crack and it is addicting. The chicken was absolutely perfectly fryed. I could have eaten a lot more than the wings I had. The batter itself is very tasty too. The spice goes perfectly with their fries too. There's nothing special about the fries themselves but add the crack and they are crack. Lastly I had their blue Koolaid and it was delicious too. The service was a little weird. The cook kept answering my questions from back in the kitchen, but she spoke softly and I could barely hear her. Apparently the cashier overcharged me and they offered to refund that, so they are honest. Everyone was friendly though. It takes about 20 minutes to cook, so beware. Overall a little strange but the food is definitely worth a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely.

Mild summer peppers (5/5) were hand-picked from the farmer's market, and I was warned that a hot one might have slipped by (I said: I sure hope so!) and one did. Was grateful for the bread from the rabbit terrine, which is their house-baked sourdough. Full bar but not many beers, mostly lagers. One IPA which was a hazy from Ann Arbor and was great though. For brunch the next day we split the Chicken Katsu Hash (5/5) and added 2 more eggs. If we weren't traveling I'd have bought a pint of the house-made serrano-based hot sauce. Great service both times we went, and we were offered free coffee to go in all-compostable containers.
