A peaceful ambiance with some fun energetic music was just the right atmosphere for us. And our server Brett is simply the best. Attentive, friendly, and hilarious. We always know we are in for a good night when he's taking care of us. The drinks were delightful. We had NA sangria, red wine sangria, and a London fog for our drinks and they were delicious. The London Fog even had a fresh sprig of lavender to brighten it up. The food was a hit. We enjoyed lots of dishing including delicious empanadas, flavorful patatas bravas, the special with wagyu steak, and more! It was a memorable experience and we look forward to returning for more to come!

This was my first time at San Chez, and it definitely won't be the last!…read more I did some research beforehand of the menu and what to expect, but the server was great at explaining how everything worked! Besides a few menu items, everything is a tapa (little bites) and served family style. We put in everything all at once, and it came out as it was ready. It was all 10/10 and honestly very filling! I was nervous about the portions, but for 2 people, 3 tapas was perfect! The parking is a bit harder though. There is street parking and a few ramps around, but no dedicated lot. The entrance is also inside a shared door which is a bit confusing. There were enough labels to figure it out easily though. Comfy atmosphere, cute decor, and great food!

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

It was fairly quiet but the staff was friendly and the vibes inside were so filled with holiday cheer! I love how they decorate the space and you can purchase little things to go and just enjoy time with your friends, whether it's for a fancy girls night or just having a chill night out. 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.

The cherry spritz, mama I dream of it still . My only qualm is that I am a stickler for good glassware ~ I would like to see the beverages with a stem. And based on the aesthetic I know the owner could find some classic glassware. We need more places like this in GR, and I need more POH in my LIFE.

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!!

We started with the bruschetta, which was light, fresh and flavorful. My wife had the bacon wrapped pork loin, which was very tender and had a really nice sauce.

If you want to find a place to try with friends, family, or a date, this is a pretty cool place to try out! There are pretty good options for food on their menu. The dishes that have borders around them are what the chefs recommend. Me and my friend decided to go that route. Warm Goat Cheese - really good! It had a really thick and gooey texture, and I felt with the warmth it added to the deliciousness to it. It really is a comforting dish to try out. I thought the Spanish tomato sauce really complimented to the warm goat cheese. They offer 6 pieces of bread; if you need more, they will give you more! Smoked Chicken Empanadas - this dish was pretty good. The shell was very crispy, but the chicken inside was actually pretty dry, to my surprise. The salsa tasted good though, and I really loved the red pepper cream. Beautiful dish though! I don't think I'd get it again though. I do prefer my empanadas slightly on the softer side. Garlic Shrimp Adobado - this was probably my favorite dish. My friend thought it was a little too strong with garlic, but what else would you expect with "roasted garlic, confit garlic butter, garlic chips" as the description?? I personally didn't find it too garlic-y. I loved it and would recommend it. It was flavorful and I loved the soft cloves of garlic. It wasn't too heavy of a dish. Smoked Bacon Wrapped Medjool Dates - this was also one of my other favorites. If you're getting this dish with other ones, my suggestion is to eat this last because the dates are naturally pretty sweet which almost make it feel like you're eating a dessert dish. The bacon was sooo good and cooked so well with the dates. Super decadent dish and unique! If you are not familiar with tapas style, the front of the menu talks about tapas and the communal aspect of it. I loved that they did it! True to tapas style, the restaurant can serve you one to two dishes at a time, which I would recommend. The service was great. Super friendly and warm. On the slower side, but I think it was just because it was pretty busy that night.

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.

Truly one of the most remarkable dining experiences in Grand Rapids! Service was top-notch,…read moreambiance was upscale yet comfortable, and food was nothing short of incredible. Authentic Spanish cuisine with an American flair - every dish was spectacularly balanced. The croquetas were pillowy and crispy and rich. The oxtail stuffed morels were an explosion of decadent umami. The gambas (shrimp) were soaked in Spanish olive oil, confit garlic, and a metric ton of saffron (these were the star of the show in terms of both flavor and value). And the patatas bravas? Who doesn't love some thick cut fried potatoes. For the main dish, the scallops were DIVINE. Not joking, the best scallops I've ever had in my life - which was a relief considering they were $55 for THREE of them boys. Yes it's pricey, but frankly it's well worth it. The quality of service, food and environment that MDRD has articulately crafted is a special experience and should be treated as such. My ONLY gripe is the fact that they didn't have their Spanish Tortilla on the menu - that's like a burger chain not having French fries. Would highly recommend, especially if you've got a taste for Spanish food!

The makeover is modern and chic. Love the marble with the gold accents and wood for warmth. The view is nice. We opted to forego the non refundable $20 for a table by the window. I was happy with where we sat. Staff brought out some delicious olives for an appetizer. They had a delicious looking cocktail menu and comprehensive wine list, but I did not imbibe on this occasion. My husband and I ordered the ensalada de pepino, pulpo a la gallega, chicken buñuelos, and patatas bravas as our tapas. Everything was good as expected. The octopus was tender and spiced to perfection. The stand out for me was finally trying the El Limon for dessert. It was unique, flavorful and everything that I had hoped for when I finally tried that dessert for the first time. They also bring cute hand made chocolates with the bill that are tasty. Definitely a delicious spot and a special place to celebrate 15 years of marriage. Hope to return soon to celebrate further milestones.
