I don't get to visit GR very often and I've wanted to try this restaurant for some time. It's a…read morevery good place to grab a casual meal & a beer. (Not a great wine selection.) For us, it was busy but the service was fast and very friendly. The beer selection focuses on microbrewery's, which I prefer. I selected a German blonde beer from Bemidji. For my meal I did the walleye sandwich. It was breaded & deep fried walleye on a hoagie bun with tomato's, lettuce, red onions and tartar sauce. It was big and it hit the spot! My SO had the walleye filet and shrimp bisque. She said the bisque was the star of the show. The view over the lake makes this a special place. The loud noise from other tables detracts somewhat from that experience.

The ambience was great (we were on the main floor) and all of the staff were super friendly. We had Christopher as our server and he was awesome!! I loved how unique the menu was and the different sections they had. We had tried the popovers, the twice fried potatoes, the chicken entree, and the apple turnover cake. Everything was phenomenal! We also got brought out a pre-dinner snack which was not expected and it was so good. We checked out the downstairs before we left and it was a super cool space! We definitely want to go back to hang out down there at some point. I highly recommend trying this spot out! Another great addition to the Grand Rapids area. We definitely will be back!

The restaurant itself is bright and inviting, the staff is super attentive and friendly and the food is fresh and innovative.

I was maybe the most hungover I have ever been in my life (not actually, but I was going through…read moreit). We ate outside on the patio. It was nice but HOT! I loved the water pitcher, because the four of us were all at least a little hungover so we were going through the water so quickly. I grabbed a lavender oat latte, which was good, but I didn't end up drinking some of it because of my tummy :/ Jo got a chai, which was so good and I wished I got that. The flavor was so yummy and for some reason the spices seemed like they were good for my tum. For food I got the Kremer crepe. It was really good! Truly give me a crepe and I'll be happy because they feel like such a special treat. Lottie got an acai bowl which looked so good, and they said was super yummy. Jo got another crepe, but had ham, so I didn't try. Oh! and I loved the little baby salad that came with my crepe. It was literally just lettuce and a raspberry vinaigrette, but it was so yummy and exactly what I needed at that moment. Felt like it was fresh from a garden. The food took a second to come out, but I think they were understaffed and they had such a tiny kitchen. The servers were very upfront about timing, so we were honestly expecting food to take longer than it did. Happy surprise :) Overall, it was a very cute little place. I definitely would love to go back some time when I am not hungover so I get the full experience.

I hate having to give 2 stars, but I just did not have a great experience. I was in town for work…read moreand stopped here for dinner. I was seated at a high top in the bar area. It took probably 10 minutes for anyone to greet me. There were servers walking past me and I was so confused why no one said hi, or we will be right with you. Nothing. There was a couple of women at a table near me that must have been employees, because the servers kept going over there at chatting. I ordered the salmon with au gratin potato's and Brussel sprouts. The salmon was cooked nicely, but everything was so extremely salty that it made it difficult to enjoy. I tried scraping off as much of sauce on the salmon so I could finish it. Overall, I was really disappointed and won't be back.

I chose the tenderloin medallions stuffed with onions and mushrooms and wrapped in bacon. For sides, I had the Caesar salad, green beans, and mashed potatoes.

Service was excellent. It would be great if they could create more of a dinner atmosphere. The lighting is like being in a conference room.
