Meeting new people is always fun! Amway Grand Plaza Hotel and Madrid Tapas Bar had beautiful views and great ambiance. We had ceviche, octopus, pork belly and sangria together!

I was with a large group, so I got to sample a number of tapas, which were ordered for the table. I loved the Iberico Pork Belly, and the Wild Boar Empanadas. I thought the Croquetas and the Patatas Bravos were good, though there are other things I'd order in the future. I thought the Ceviche Mixta was ok, though I'm not usually a fan of ceviche, and this was better than most. My least favorite was the Pulpo a la Gallega. While the octopus was tender, it had an unpleasant fishy flavor. I got the Chuletas de Cordero for a main course, and was so happy with the dish. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I really liked the chickpea topping. My only quibble was the dried apple slices added nothing to the dish. They had an unpleasant chewy texture, little flavor, and didn't add to the aesthetics. I would order this again in a heartbeat. I ordered the Árbol de Frambuesa, and it was an amazing dessert. The chocolate souffle was thicker and creamier than I expected, but it was so delicious! I don't want to ruin the surpise of this dish by describing how it looked. I would also order this again.

I will take my drink with a side of a downtown Grand Rapids skyline, please!…read more Knoop is a rooftop bar located at the top of the Canopy hotel, and the location is prime. I stopped in for drinks and did not try any of the food, so I can't speak to that part of the menu. The atmosphere is the real star of the show. I met a friend here for drinks and enjoyed catching up while taking in the city views. The cocktails were good, the service was friendly, and the space itself is beautiful. Drinks are definitely on the pricier side, but you're paying for the rooftop experience. Overall, it's a fun spot for date night, girls' night, or when you have friends visiting from out of town. A strong 4/5 stars from me!

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.

Dont get it if you love ramen or are expecting Hawaiian simen. It's more like noodles in a peanut sauce. Not broth. It's really thick. The kimchi.... Probably the worst I've ever had. Tons of carrots and the cabbage had a weird texture... is it cabbage? Not sure... Almost for the drunken noodles. Glad I'd didn't. Friend got it and tried it. Noodles in peanuts. Not spicy. Had to add the gluten free soy sauce. Friends for the sushi musubi and bulgogi. They liked it. Drinks were ok. Good for the price. Service was awesome, decor/ambiance was awesome.... Food left a lot to be desired, sadly.

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.

We frequent Grand Rapids almost monthly, so we were surprised we didn't find this place sooner! It is a charming spot with dark lighting and only a small bit of seating. We were here on a weeknight so we didn't have an issue getting in but I can imagine the weekends would be challenging. They actually offer the entire menu from upstairs so you could just eat down here if you wanted to (but I recommend getting the full experience). The service was great! The bartenders were helpful and very quick. Cocktails were terrific. But my favorite was the ambience. Oh we will surely be back!

This is a restaurant and bar with simulator bays. How fun!…read more Most simulators are set up for just golf but I saw other sports equipment in other bays, so they may have some throwing style games as well. You can eat, drink, and play golf - you can do it all or you can do just one. However, if you plan on playing golf / using a simulator bay, you should call or go online and make a reservation. It gets busy there. I love that they have seasonal cocktails. They had some special ones for st Patrick's day. They also have happy hour M-F from 2-6pm. I booked a bay, it charges per 30 min. The hour was $65. I had one cocktail. I got a briefing on the system and I was on my way to playing a very difficult golf course in South Korea. They have club upgrades but I stuck with the standard bag. I had a great time. Next time I will choose an easier golf course! Also, I believe the server calculates their tip not only on what you buy but also your bay time. So I'll review my check a little closer next time. The sell golf gloves if you need one/forgot yours. There is a small parking lot next to the building or you can park on the street or garage nearby. Bathrooms are on all levels. Fun place. I'll be back.

The waitress was friendly and busy. The seating was a little tight depending on where you sit. Our table was almost blended into the one next to us. The food was good. The menu is partially in Mexican, so be prepared to either use a translation app or guess what you're getting based on photos. We ordered or thought we ordered the #9 lunch but got something a bit different but still very tasty. The plate was full of all the standard stuff, beans, rice, salad, main dish. The chicken under the cheese was delicious and moist. The beans and rice were flavorful without being dry. The salsa was unique. It was something of an acquired taste. The margarita flight was delicious! The prickly pear and traditional were our favorites. The blue one was a close second or third. The mango with the spicy rum was our least.
