We came in on Saturday night, 7/25/26 around 5:30pm before going to a concert at Acrisure. We…read moredidn't have a reservation but fortunately there was room at the bar - which is our preferred seating spot anyway. I was surprised at how long it took for the 2 hosts to greet us - as we were standing directly in front of them. They were talking to one another, and it was probably work related, but to just stand there staring at them for a couple minutes while they ignored us was awkward. When they finally talked to us they weren't very friendly. Anyway, we made our way to the bar and it was full except for 3 seats. I think the bartender waiting on us was new. He seemed like he was pretty overwhelmed/in the weeds. He greeted us quickly and brought us waters when he did, which I appreciated. I ordered a Blackeberry Bourbon Sour and my Mr had Paloma Nuestra. We both enjoyed our drinks they were refreshing and well crafted. For dinner I had a really hard time deciding! I wanted to try so many things! Our bartender said his favorite thing in the menu is the chicken and rice bowl. That was something I was considering and decided to go with that. Excellent recommendation! The chicken was flavorful and so tender. The hot peppers were a nice touch. There was a lot of food too! I couldn't finish it all. Mr had the hanger steak that was served with mushroom and asparagus risotto. He said the risotto was the best he's ever had, and I agree. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and so was the steak. The space is really nice, felt intimate without being overcrowded. We are looking forward to coming back!

I watched one staff person eating a pizza behind the counter, apparently on break. The experience just wasn't great and I kept thinking we are wasting our valuable time and money when we could have selected a different place. I have been here before, but it just seems more "run down" now.

This place is an awesome, eclectic, and personable spot with incredible food as well as service…read more The BIzzy Grizzys or whatever they called them were one of my favorite appetizers ever, and I don't typically like things like that. At first I was hesitant because of the price, and it being biscuits, but they made me eat those words and more. It was like a large biscuit muffin top with jalapeño, cheese and honey glaze (I think) and it came with a white cheddar cheese sauce to dip it in that was outrageously delicious. For a guy who hates cheddar biscuits, I've got to say I'm blown away. My wife ordered the steak with fingerling potatoes and carrots. It was on the pricier side, but yet again well worth it. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the veggies were pretty good too. They had live music playing as well tonight. It was a jazzy kind of vibe and it didn't over power anyone talking or anything. The guy had some serious skill too. To top it off, we had some pretty killer service from everyone there. From the hostess taking our names, random servers walking around, and our fantastic server (I forget her name but she was blonde and worked upstairs and had a a really great attitude. The expo or food runner dropping our food off anticipated us possibly needing an extra plate and brought one without asking which was super awesome and ended up coming in handy ( I knew my wife wouldn't finish that steak alone) and she brought it without asking and was ready with a smile to get more. I used to be a GM (I hate when people use this saying but...) truly I know how hard it is to find good workers and the folks running it here seem to have it down. I come from a place where you have to drive 100 mi or more for average service. So seeing exceptional service is really almost too good to be true. I'd definitely stop in for a bite. It's worth every penny. We'll be back for dessert, they have seasonal crème brûlées!

I dined at TOG today for a business lunch and, unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing…read more At the end of our meal, I asked for a to-go box because I had barely touched my food. My guest and I spent most of our lunch talking, and I left with nearly an entire meal. About 20 minutes after leaving, I realized I had forgotten my box and immediately called the restaurant to see if it was still there. The young lady who answered the phone asked where I had been seated. I explained that I was at the very first table at the front of the restaurant. Within seconds, she told me there was nothing there. Her tone made it clear that assisting me was not a priority. Given that the hostess stand is located at the back of the restaurant and I was seated at the front, I do not believe there was enough time for her to actually check before dismissing my concern. After I sent an email regarding the situation, the hostess responded that she had walked through the restaurant looking for the box. Based on the timing of our phone conversation, I find that difficult to believe. In her response, she also stated that she checked with the servers after our call had ended, which suggests that no real effort was made while I was on the phone. What is most disappointing is that I am a regular customer. Today, I paid $56.00 for lunch for myself and my business guest. Between a server who was largely absent throughout the meal and the dismissive interaction when I called about my forgotten food, the level of service fell far below what I have come to expect. Everyone has an occasional bad day, but customer service is often defined by how issues are handled after something goes wrong. In this case, I felt dismissed rather than helped. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I do not plan to return.

First visit, excellent experience! This place is huge, even including Pickleball courts inside…read more Patrons order food and drinks at the bar and the food is delivered to your table. I tried two flights consisting of eight different beers and all were very good, most were exceptional. For food, I ordered the Seoul Food Chicken Sando. This was an unbelievably tasty sandwich and has made it into my top 10 all-time favorite sandwiches! Moist, crunchy, and exploding with flavor! Also got a side of fries and they were hot & crispy. Staff was super friendly. Definitely recommend a visit!

Welp. Another brewery with some of the best food I've found. Beer was good too but holy geez, the…read morefood! BEER: I went with "The Vast Skies" which is described as a "hoppy amber ale". Coming from someone who loves a hoppy IPA and an amber, they combined my two worlds into one. So, it was a natural easy love. For my next, I went with their "Blinky's Black IPA" which was good but got more a weak porter feel than IPA. Like I said, it was good and I'd drink it again but with that expectation. FOOD: I went with an olive burger with be try fresh and real ingredients. The burger itself was full of flavor; add the rest of it and it was phenomenal. If I had to complain about something, I could have used a touch more olive sauce. Now the egg roll... I went with the "Guava the Hutt". I'll just say, I ordered two to go in hopes I can resurrect them in the air fryer later. The back half of the building is a pickleball area and the front half is the brewery and restaurant. Very cool look as they have a few shipping containers as sitting areas. Plenty of seating where I didn't feel jammed in. Also, a few arcade games. The service was friendly but know that it is minimal as you will order from the QR code at your table and order drinks at the bar. Definitely worth checking out and plan on returning.

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.

The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was kind and welcoming. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a wagyu sirloin that had a red wine reduction, crispy onions, potato gratin and garlic green beans. We also ordered two kids trays which were priced very fair at $9 for the options and amount of food received. Our kids had the fried chicken tenders, grilled steak and picked sides of fries, mashed potatoes and fruit. The kids trays also came with drinks. Since this was a birthday celebration or server did make it special by brining a sweet treat and candle and even discounted my meal! Some things to think about when planning a visit: The restaurant is very loud. Make a reservation! It is popular. Plan parking! The area is full of great restaurants so parking is tough. Paid parking areas are available but limited.

I thought an old fashioned was an old fashioned, but this one was delicious and available for happy hour, can't beat that! Then at the bartenders recommendation, I had the meatballs for appetizer and the hangar steak for entree. First, the meatballs, very good, I'd give it a 4/5 minimum. Portion was very respectable, meant for a shareable appetizer but it was just me lol. The ricotta is a delicious touch. Then the hangar steak. It's the best steak I can remember having in a long time, and on a relatively inexpensive cut such as a hangar. I just can't express enough how impressed I was with it. And I'm not a sauce with steak type but the aioli just completes it so well. 5/5, and I'm pretty picky. If I come back to Grand Rapids I will visit here at least once.

Ended up having to ask someone who wasn't our server to run our cards after 20 minutes waiting for our original server to come back after they dropped the check. The ambiance is very much family-oriented, which is fine, but I was just more disappointed with the lack of timely service when the space felt so empty. The food was mid for the cost of the appetizers. Also, went to the bathroom twice; each time I used a different stall and soap dispenser, but no toilet paper or soap. Just not that impressive.

Overall a very good experience. I'd actually give it a 4.5, but it only let me do whole numbers…read more Went on July 5th with a party of 9. We called ahead & had to wait a few minutes, but we were also a few minutes early. Our server, Logan, was great. Friendly, professional, efficient. I'd give her 5 stars. We got the twisted mozzarella sticks as an appetizer & they were really good. The cheese pull was impressive, the kids loved it. The only order issue was one of the kids steak came out medium instead of medium rare. We decided not to send it back because we were on a time crunch. He grumbled & didn't eat it, but that was his choice. I personally had the 8oz sirloin with a baked potato & side salad. The salad came out first on a wildly cold plate. Ingredients crisp & fresh. Baked potato was a tad over done on one side, but overall tasted good. My steak (& everyone else's) was cooked correctly & well seasoned. I don't have high expectations for a mid-level steakhouse like this, but I was pleasantly surprised! The littlest one got Mac & cheese with applesauce as a side & ate everything, which is rare! The reduced star is for the incorrect cook on the steak & again, I wish I could give it a 4+ because I hate to take off a full star. Logan is great & would love to have them as a server in the future.
