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!

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!

Second time coming to Gin Gin's. Made a reservation many weeks ago and was seated promptly…read more Service was not as attentive tonight as the last time we came. We ordered our cocktails and waited alittle while to get them. Food was overall delicious. But unfortunately my Wagyu NY strip was slightly disappointing. With six pieces of steak - only 4 were eaten. The other two were way too tough and/or fatty. Kind of unfortunate for a $63.00 steak à la carte with no sides. The sides were all delicious. And my husband loved his pasta dish. We took a key lime pie home to go. It was fantastic! The wedge salad was okay - nothing special. This place is obviously popular. And I remember it being so much better last time. I just expect more when we spend so much on our meal. Very noisy but that is the same as before. It is a popular bar spot so I expect the noise. I wish I could say more positive things about our dinner. My cocktail was pretty good! And the macaroni and cheese was pretty amazing.

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.

This is probably the best Tiki place I've ever been to! So many treasures of decor in one place…read more You are welcomed by the vibe right upon entering. Friendly service. The dining area has main floor seating & little cubbie rooms to sit in. Each has its own Tiki theme. We ordered drinks off the extensive menu. Delicious & decked out with garnishes. We had the chicken satay & a cheesy dip with grilled bread to eat. Both were great. The bathrooms are located downstairs. The upstairs wasn't open for dining, but they let us look around at the decor. So many Tiki mugs! An amazing fish tank too. This place is a gem.

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!

For an appetizer, my husband and I shared the calamari. It was crispy, light, and very flavorful. It didn't feel too heavy and the sauce paired with it was delicious. For our entrees, I enjoyed the pesto rotini, and my husband got the bolognese. You can tell that the pasta is homemade, and the rotisserie style chicken in the pesto is phenomenal. The pesto also has plenty of pine nuts, which I really enjoyed. The service is amazing! Our drinks were frequently refilled, and we were provided with a cute, birthday themed menu, which made our night extra special. They also gave me my birthday dessert to-go, and went the extra mile to include a birthday candle and a message on the to-go box. I'd recommend this spot to anyone who is looking to enjoy some French/Italian food in Grand Rapids!

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.

The dinner menu seems limited but it changes every week. Great service and the general manager spent a lot of time with us talking about the menu & helping us select a wine that could pair well with the diversity of entrees that our party of 4 were ordering. The ambiance is intimate and casual. Everything is made from scratch, in house. Flavors were full bodied. We started with the sourdough bread & butter. Simple yet delicious. My husband got the smoked pork chop with pear and it was amazing! Everyone enjoyed their entrees & we got 2 desserts to split at the table. Chocolate Pot o cream & homemade vanilla ice cream with baked spiced apple. Everything was wonderful!
