This restaurant was just ok. When we first walked in we were met with an overwhelming smell of cooked fish. Which hung around our entire visit.My wife ordered mashed potatoes as one of her sides but they brought out a side of asparagus instead. We also witnessed workers bringing the wrong food to the same table two separate times. When they had just recently been seated and not ordered yet. Definitely a restaurant we really don’t have to go back to.

This review is strictly for the catering of a wedding dinner. We went with our son to try the food before the big day and honestly wasn't that impressed with the options. There were a few better than others. Our son and daughter in-law to be decided on what they wanted for their dinner. The big day was here and the place looked great when we arrived. Tables were arranged and looked great. Staff was excellent and nice. The food was a hundred times better than the tasting was. All in all, we were very pleased with the whole experience. Thank you and your staff.

At the very least their liquor manager should be fired. Ordered a white zin and a beer... delicious. Ordered a second round they were out of both. Our other guest ordered Josh red wine, they were out of that too! Really??? Then ordered the lamb empanada as an app, they were out of that. The food we did order for the four of us was good, but not $ 300 good, as that was our check total. Very disappointed. Service was great!

I was there with a group. Everybody very much enjoyed everything, with the exception of myself and one other. The complaint was with the crab cakes. They were, as my friend stated, like eating tuna salad with bread crumbs. I won't hold this against Red's, and will happily return. Just won't order thecrab cakes.

I'm always slightly conflicted when reviewing Red's. There is so much to like, but certain things are slightly off. I'll make a pros & cons list. Pros: Phenomenal well priced wine list Large bar Lots of seating in a cozy setting Clean restrooms Extensive menu Kid friendly options Cons: Often understaffed Food can be under seasoned or just slightly "off" Inconvenient parking/lighting Can be occasionally slammed with golfers Overall I think the concept of red's is great. It just somewhat missed the mark on flavor and execution for me. I tried the eggplant rigatoni most recently. It was pretty, well described and vibrant. I really don't know how to say the flavor was just "off key".
Low quality food . The Thanksgiving Buffet was awful. The beef not chewable. The food was cold. It was 39.00 person and then a service charge plus a tip . Bad news for bad food! Honestly, I don't think I have ever had such a bad buffet ! You are better off going to Culver's!

1st time visiting and will be back as soon as possible! It was a pretty busy Thursday however we were able to sit quickly and served immediately. Grace was our waitress and offered great recommendations! We had a couple mocktails that were just ok, a bit too powerful with the sour flavors however everything else was spectacular! The lamb empanadas were so flavorful and meaty! We wish it was more than just 3 but it was an appetizer. We ordered the shrimp & scallop pasta along with a NY strip with masked potatoes and mac & cheese. The steak was buttery and delicious! Mac & cheese was worth the hype as were the potatoes and the flavor of the pasta was divine. We will return for sure! Their menu is vast with so many options that look great, cant wait to try others

We and another couple dined at Red's this past weekend. We had reservations and were promptly seated at a nice table. This time of year, forget the nice golf course view as it gets dark so early! The women ordered wedge salads and both loved them. I ordered the walleye. Truthfully I've never had bad walleye in Grand Rapids but this sure came close. Two pieces of heavily breaded fish about as thick as a small baked potato were part of this presentation. Along with the fish were vegetables which could be best described as canned corn and lima beans. Neither were memorable, nor did they complement each other. The menu describes the walleye as "honey crusted topped with lemon honey butter". This description nowhere near matched what was served. My friend had the pork schnitzel. He thought it was OK without further elaboration. Service was as excellent as it usually is at Redwater owned restaurants. Good service in a nice atmosphere has a way of making an OK meal still a good experience. The ladies really enjoyed their salads and we all had a great evening together catching up.

I am looking forward to host my daughter’s shower! Natalie was very accommodating! I had a wonderfulMeal recently and the deserts are excellent! Looking forward to brunch this Sunday!
The service is usually very good, the ambiance is a casual elegance and the food is delicious! Just want a burger or pizza they have got you covered. An excellent steak or seafood they excel and the wine selection is wonderful.
