Mertens Rooftop offers stunning views and exceptional hospitality, making it an ideal venue for events. The food is well-presented, with dishes like chicken & waffles, ribeye with brussel sprouts, and calamari appetizer receiving high praise. The glazed pork belly is piping hot and melts in the mouth, and the goat cheese salad is especially delicious. Visitors often enjoy starting their experience with pre-dinner drinks on the rooftop, appreciating the inviting atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The open seating area creates a cozy yet lively environment, perfect for relaxing evenings or summer hangouts. The staff, including attentive servers, are friendly and professional, providing excellent service and recommendations. The rooftop offers some of the best views of downtown Grand Rapids, ideal for photos and memorable moments. Many guests find the overall experience wonderful, though some note that service and food can be slow at times, with occasional unavailability of certain items and longer waits for appetizers and drinks. Music volume is sometimes a minor concern, but the scenery and atmosphere generally make it a worthwhile visit, especially during special occasions. The venue is kid-friendly, and the blend of upscale service with good food creates a memorable dining experience.
