Carbonnade - delish. Would 100% order this again, and possibly in the bread bowl next time! I love that you can just order a cup tho, to see if you enjoy it first. I love places that give you portion choices. Belgian Onion soup - oddly boring with oddly boring bread that tasted too much like the gas it was grilled with. The onion soup sadly didn't have a whole lot of flavor on its own. It needed a lot more salt. And the bread that was topped with on top of it had the flavor of the gas from the grill that they grilled it. And it's soaked up a lot of the soup because the bread itself is pretty spongy for a French bread. I appreciate that there you are making it in-house though. Overall, maybe not as good as a traditional French onion soup. Could have used a lot more flavor of its own. Endive salad - great, if you like blue cheese! This and the Carbonnade were the standout dishes for me. I wolfed this down. This also comes in a small or large size, which meant we got to try more menu items without ending up with too many leftovers! Frikandelle - ok no. Idk man. A miss on almost all levels for me. Cheese sauce was nice! Burger was...dry. slaw was...pickley. There was...too much bread? This was also somewhat dry, unfortunately. This dish sounded great on paper to me, but it and I were just not a match in the end. Hot chicken & waffle - The chicken is very crispy and the breading tastes really good. The maple syrup is very light and the whole syrup and hot bit tastes like a mapley sauce which is pretty nice. The slaw on it with kale is pretty good. Not overpowering, sweet or saucy. It has kale in it which is interesting. The pickles are nice. There's kind of like a sweet bread and butter pickle and are really good, but I think I prefer them off of the sandwich. The waffle itself is pretty weak and wet and not very crispy. If they worked on the waffle, this could be a pretty stellar dish. It was our server's top recommendation! Sunday night 7 pm, busy but only a 5 min wait. Everyone who helped us, from hostess to bill, was outstandingly kind and very personable. These are passionate, knowledgable people who seem to be having a lot of fun. It's infectious! Even though we didn't enjoy some of the things we ordered as much as we wanted to, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would look forward to coming back here in the future, even just for drinks and hanging out, in the future!

The indoor/ outdoor space blends together in the warmer months with cool hangout spaces and game areas. This place is truly a work of art. 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.

I was not very hungry but I got the flautas for $7, which was a great deal... You get three of them. They give us free chips and salsa to start which is always nice. My fiance ordered a large margarita and it ended up being huge, so be aware, lol ... They also offer a small and medium size. He got the seafood burrito and enjoyed it a lot. I also got a horchata ($5) which was a bit expensive but very delicious, a lot of places use mixes and you can tell that this place does not. Overall I would come back here when in the Grand Haven area, waitservice was fast and friendly as well.

I appreciate not feeling like we're bothering the staff and keeping them. Service: Always top notch. They are efficient with serving the food, refilling drinks, and bring chips and salsa nearly as soon as you sit down. Food: I've tried quite a few things here and loved it all. The food I got most recently was a type of taco that you dip. The flavor was beyond amazing, though it definitely had a little kick to it. (I do not do spicy food, but the server said it wasn't spicy. If you're like me, it is a bit spicy). Ambiance: They have fun booths and decorations around the restaurant and always have upbeat Mexican music playing. It's usually somewhat busy, but as we go during off hours, never too full. And, we've never had to wait to be seated, which we really like.

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.

The wings seemed to be fried with maybe a little bit of corn starch and were okay, and you can add sauces including Buffalo, BBQ and anything from their wall of bottled sauces. The real star was the Brussels sprouts which had kind of a honey, balsamic, chili sauce. They were crispy and very well cooked. The service was also great. The servers were highly attentive. There were multiple TVs playing the French Open including a huge wall sized projection. Great place for watching sports!

I'll tell you why I like this place for breakfast. It offers a great "value" for your money…read more The prices are lowest in town for a sit-down joint. The server keeps you coffee cup filled and they offer different specials daily, at a good price. I used to go to the Rendezvous every morning, because of value, but that place closed down, and I bet when they re-open they will jack up their prices like Morningstar. Overall I don't go out for breakfast much, inflation and all. McDonald's is probably cheapest, but that joint is just....well....fast food in the morning. Here's the thing about this place.... a lot of people are into ambience, decor and things to look at. I don't need that nonsense. Go to that Anna's House downtown and pay the long dollar if that's your thing. Put it this way, I got a corn beef hash and cheese omelet with coffee for a $10 spot. At Anna's House that would have cost a little north of $15. Although the special board said "Corn beef and swiss chees" it was actually corn beef hash. But I'm not complaining.

I even brought home a bottle! It is incredible that craft cocktails with small batch whiskey can cost only $11-15. On two different occasions (maybe Fridays), there was live music.
