1 star for food was bc it was n/a for our visit, we only drank. Service was great, drinks were good. Only drawback was how warm it was sitting inside

Heather

We visited for a birthday celebration and it was perfect. Our server Jaden was so patient with us and accommodating as more people arrived for our party than we planned. She took great care of us! The atmosphere was amazing and the views stunning. We enjoyed the creative cocktails and will definitely return. We didn't try the food, maybe next time!

Angela

I had a fantastic experience at Knoop! We were here for a girls night on my birthday. Will be back!!

Judy

Beautiful space. Fabulous service. Cocktails were very good but small for the price of a $14 margarita.

Brian

Lamb and steak were no good, food was flavorless. Beautiful view for drinks. Would not order food again.

Tylar

Some of the cocktails are a bit out of the box flavor wise but if you want to try random new things why not. Or go with your staple and just enjoy the vibe

Madelaine

Definitely a spot to go to if you're from out of town! Wonderful service and friendly staff. Drinks were well made.

Cathy

Love the drinks but the food was a disappointment this time. Smash burger was underwhelming. I normally love this place but will stick to drinks next time.

Kolka

Quite a disappointment...Very limited menu further reduced by their lack of preparation. They were out of 3/6 dishes we attempted to order just 4 hours after opening with the place largely empty. We were looking forward to their signature ‘knots', which are simple pretzels but they were out of those, too!!! Unacceptable! Print a new menu or prepare better!

Kristen

Rooftop bar was perfect for a cocktails with friends. We went in the afternoon and the sun was on the other side of the building so we weren't in direct hot sun.

Andrea

We came in with several reservations with a large group. Immediately, our server, Amanda, did everything she could to make our experience so incredible! She was attentive and was accommodating for several needs of our party. Absolutely recommend!

Crystal

Sadly awful. We were told they were short staffed and the manager was going to talk to the server about this awful experience.

Amber

Everything was delicious. We got the meatballs and charcuterie board for an appetizer then shared the grilled cheese, would be amazing with the fig jam, French fries and Cesar salad. Views were great. Will return.

Adam

First time here. Hostess was very kind and accommodated us adding another couple to our reservation. We only had drinks but the ambiance was nice and our server was funny and took great care of us. We'll be back!

I recently visited Knoop in Grand Rapids and, unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from start to finish. Upon arrival, we waited over five minutes for a hostess to greet us. There was no staff in sight, leaving us standing awkwardly at the entrance. The food failed to impress. My Caesar salad was over-dressed and overwhelmed with croutons and cheese, leaving little room for the romaine. One of the other salads featured candied pecans that were under-candied, causing the sugar to dissolve into the salad and completely alter the intended flavor. The sandwiches we ordered arrived cold and were served on very small plates — hardly enough room to cut them in half, much less eat them neatly. They were also quite messy and bland. Service was lacking as well. Our server didn't check back with us until 20 minutes after our food was delivered, by which time most of the issues went unaddressed. The cocktails were another disappointment. They were overly sweet and not prepared correctly. While the rooftop setting and view have a lot of potential, the poor service, uninspired food, and careless drink execution made for a frustrating and forgettable experience. I hope Knoop takes steps to improve, because right now, it's not somewhere I'd recommend.
