As Restaurant Week's final day draws to a close, we chose to try The Bier Distillery…read more Off a busy road, not too far from the West River Drive exit, is a well lit restaurant adorned with wooden barrel tables and chairs. Lofted above is a great looking outdoors complete with heat lamps and a mini A framed covered area that can be rented for parties. We were greeted warmly by friendly staff and given a kids menu, draft and spirits menu, regular menu and restaurant week menu. Menus galore! We went with the 3 course meal (many items can be ordered on the regular menu) for $25. I ordered the tomato paprika soup and my husband got the split pea soup. Of the two, the split pea soup was the clear winner. Two kinds of pork (cubed and shredded), well balanced seasoning and texture married well to enhance a soup I've loved since childhood. I could've easily eaten a bowl for my meal. The accompanying homemade Dutch Rye Bread, though I'm sure it's authentic, I didn't care for. It was dense, soft and had an off putting flavor. The second course we had was equally delicious. My hubby had the beef and pork sausage overtop a bed of mashed potatoes with kale, onions and bacon. I loved the addition of kale and the sausage was tasty. Everything was well seasoned. My beef slow cooked with apples and beer was delicious. I wish it had been served with more beef. It would have been nice to have some bigger chunks of meat to dive into. The mashed potatoes they came with were good, but the potatoes with kale were the star between the two dishes. The kid's meals were also good. The hamburger had a nice smokey flavor with a tasty side of fries. My daughter didn't care for her Mac 'n cheese, but that's because it was too refined for her palette. The Gouda cheese was complimented by the egg noodles. The third course was dessert. I tried the restaurant Flip custard: Dutch custard, fruit compote, and topped with a dollop of Greek Yogurt. It came with a cute spoon that gave the perfect portions and the flavors all complemented each other well. I would order this again and again. It was a great balance of tangy, fruity and sweet. My husband had the stroopwafle icecream. It was also good, and came with a cute mini stroopwafle. I washed all this down with their Bier Distillery Lager and tried a flavored banket spirit. This restaurant originally was just a beer and specialty liquor spot. I love that they now serve food, because that was the highlight of our evening. I wish this establishment was closer to our home, but perhaps will come back when the weather is nicer to enjoy the outdoor patio. Definitely come and check out this The Bier Distillery for yummy Dutch inspired food and drink! Worth the drive.

I love staying at a huge hotel, because that usually means it has a decent fitness center. Amway…read moreGrand Plaza does indeed have a decent fitness center! There are several treadmills, a few ellipticals (my favorite), a whole area dedicated to free weights, and lots of other equipment. The fitness center is a rectangular glass box that faces both the pickleball courts and the pool, so you get an interesting view no matter where you're working out. Yes, this hotel has pickleball courts. It's $35 per hour to book a court. When we were there, there were Pickleball Players with a capital P tearing up the courts, so I'm thinking this isn't a place to bring your toddler to throw balls. These pickleball courts are for people who want to really play. Our hotel room was just fine. It was a little small for a two-queen-bed room, and the window faced the back of another building. But it was clean, and the shower worked, and the beds were comfy. One thing that I love is that housekeeping will automatically refresh your room, and you don't even have to beg. The hotel is huge, and there were a couple of big conferences going on while we were there, so there were lots of people milling about, but it never felt overly crowded. The first floor of the hotel feels like an indoor mall: there's a coffee shop, two restaurants, a wine shop and a gift shop. If you go up to the 27th floor, you'll find MDRD, a modern Spanish restaurant with a rooftop bar that overlooks the Grand River. This is not the place to take kids -- this feels like an adult-only space. They also have a dress code: smart casual. The adults in our party enjoyed a couple of drinks (wine and beer and bourbon) at the bar, and it was cool to just sit and watch the traffic on the Grand River bridge crawl by like ants. Parking is valet or a parking garage that's around the corner. I try to avoid valet when I can, for personal reasons, so we did self-park, which was no big deal.

She immediately made us feel at home, was amazing with her menu descriptions and advice, and was present without being overly so. The restaurant is gorgeous, it's inside the Amway Grand Hotel. Carmen gave us plenty of great recommendations so we started off with brussel sprouts, calamari, and burrata. Hands down the brussel sprouts where everybody's favorite! We all had a different entree for dinner, and it was the first day of the new menu. I had the strip steak, it was supposed to be medium rare, it was definitely medium but so forgivable because of the excellent flavors. Others at the table tried the halibut, the salmon, the short rib, and the walleye fish and chips. Each meal was fully loved by it's recipient. We had a fantastic bottle of Caymus with our meal, plus one of my guests have a beautiful cocktail with a watermelon. I forgot what it's called. We didn't really want dessert, but creme brulee is my favorite and I wanted to taste the new passion fruit flavor. It wasn't my favorite, but that could also be because I'm a vanilla creme brulee devotee. The presentation was beautiful. Overall, I would 100% return to this location when back in the area and I will be asking for Carmen!
