It's only because it was just not as amazing as the first. Still very good they serve everything in a mass serving so on a steak night the problem is your steak is meant to be served lukewarm essentially. They still seasoned everything perfectly. Cook it perfectly and that's how the fish prepared that would've been my only complaint posting pictures of what was on the menu that night and it was great. Highly recommend for special occasions for a date night.

Chef was right there with menus and telling us about his goal to provide a different experience using locally sourced food. We ordered four items to graze upon; Cabbage rolls w/veal, Beef cheeks (?), Crostini Royal (melt in your mouth YUM!) and the Korean BBQ ribs. Literally EVERYTHING was phenomenal! Ribs were fall off the bone tender. Crostini was soft, yet crunchy with a bacon jam with the flavor of a hot bacon dressing....only better! The Beef Cheeks was a bread tower stuffed with all kinds of yummy all around on a bed of black beans. The Cabbage Rolls were stuffed with ground veal with a succulent, mild tomato cover that complimented rather than overwhelmed. So much to try....such a small stomach....Thankfully, they have boxes! Can't wait to go back. Such a HIDDEN GEM!!

You will immediately be welcomed like this is your second home by the kind and knowledgable owners who run the place.

If you are looking for something different give this meadery a spin, they have loads to choose from. I loved the Blue Blood and Luchador from my mead flight. Do be aware that the food here is fine, you won't be blown away unfortunately. The Ron Swanson panini was quite good, but the potato bites appetizer were quite lackluster. However, the prices on everything are very fair for what you are getting. If you are anywhere near Middleville I would recommend stopping by here!

It was a seafood night and all the dishes had really fresh seafood that was plated beautifully. Rare is communal seating and our service was at 6 PM. The other guests at the event where great and we hung out with a few of them for a couple hours after the event concluded. Amazing atmosphere and experience. Highly recommended. 1st course - oyster shooter taken as a group to get the night rolling. 2nd course - Cherry wood Smoked Lox, with a soft herb-ed cheese and scallion that was smoked in the glass before we arrived. Great effect 3rd course - Roe Stuffed Prawn with Brown Butter (my favorite of the night) 4th course - Monkfish, Mussels, and Prawns with butterball potato's in a fennel broth 5th course - grape intermezzo 6th course - Monkfish and butter curry over white Jasmine rice, served with herb garlic naan. 7th course - Fried pumpernickel coated clams, German butterball and redskin potato's with a New England Style Chowder dressing 8th course - Deconstructed Lemon Meringue Pie

My boyfriend and I stopped in to grab some snacks and since they're part of the downtown refreshment zone, we also got some drinks to go. The staff at the AC Hotel is incredibly professional, welcoming, and authentically kind. Our service was great while we were there. I love the varied cozy seating at this bar! We chose a high top at one of the large windows, which was great for people watching. They keep them open during warmer weather so we heard a lot of the hustle and bustle of downtown. We started with some recommended drinks from our bartender -- I ordered the pina colada milk punch on draft, and my boyfriend got the skeleton key. The pina colada milk punch was really refreshing! It's made with coconut water instead of coconut cream you find in a typical pina colada, and it has a little bubbliness to it while still being tropical. I really liked it and would definitely order it again. The skeleton key was really nice, too! It was a ginger beer drink that was also refreshing. The drinks were delicious but didn't taste too much like alcohol - could be a good thing or a bad thing! For my to-go drink, I got an aperol spritz, which was delicious! For food, we got the albondigas and manchego croquettes to share. The croquettes were deliciously creamy melted cheese and perfectly fried! The aioli dipping sauce was really tasty but not needed with the richness of the croquette. The croquettes came three to an order, so be aware of that if you're planning on sharing. The albondigas were flavorful and I really liked the tomato sauce. They could have been a little more tender, but I enjoyed eating them with the baguette. Overall, our experience at La Ventanita was definitely five stars, especially due to the superior service. I would go back to try more of the food--the Cuban style burger sounds really tasty!

I decided to check out the bar/lounge at the nearby Sheraton and have to say, no wonder Marriott decided to buy these guys! They have great beers on tap and great food. I had the sliders and the Santorini salad, which has fried artichokes on it. The sliders were great. Straight up beef patties on a brioche-like bun. No filler, slightly thin, but still tastes great and beefy. Just what I wanted. The Santorini salad is about twice as big as I thought it would be for $9. I really liked the greens which included butter, red, iceberg and romaine lettuces. It also had goat cheese, olives and fried artichoke hearts. Yum, but I couldn't finish it. Since I'm at the Res Inn I just took the rest with me. I also had the Blond ales on tap. Their big deal is supposed to be the wine selection, but the beer selection is very good. Perfect for slider night! Full, refreshed and ready for he long plane rides home tomorrow.

The food and service here are really good, and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. Located in the lobby of the Sheraton, you almost miss it because it is so quiet. The ambiance is a little dark but not really dark - so perfect for relaxing. There is an unobtrusive TV above the bar for sports enthusiasts, but it is quiet to allow for conversation. The food ranges from quite good to really, really good. The bruschetta is distinct and fantastic. The mixture is served separately from the crustini, ensuring that the bread doesn't get soggy. And it has little pieces of fresh mozzarella in it to add even more freshness! Their fried mozzarella is also quite good, clearly freshly made. A friend had their salad and got blackened salad on it and really enjoyed it. They are happy to customize orders, whether that be food or drink. And they are happy to make drinks extra strong, so that's never a bad thing!

It's a beautiful building with lots of wood and decor that makes you feel like you've traveled somewhere far away from Grand Rapids for a tapas adventure. We were seated promptly, and our server was attentive, although I do believe overloaded with tables. It was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night they said, and we had to ask for several things a couple of times. This isn't a big deal as we all understand being busy. It almost seems like we tried the whole menu, but some of the standouts were the charcuterie (jamon y queso), the empanadas, and the goat cheese (queso con herbias). The patatas bravas were a big hit with our group. Our least favorite dishes were the carne paella and the albondigas. We did not try any of the seafood options, but some were very intriguing. We had a non seafood lover at the table. All of our drinks were delicious, aside from a couple of mistakes with getting the wrong ones. Overall, it was a great visit and I would return if in the area.

Whatever your vibe is, Pursuit of Happiness is a wonderful woman owned business that I love to support! It's kind of tucked away from the bustle of the street, but you can easily find some off street parking around the corner in a lot or find some street parking pretty easily, which is really nice. I always forget this place is here but I always enjoy it when I come back! I need to keep it in my rotation and come back more often! The vibes are just too good.
