Absolutely loved the food. Drinks were also amazing.
Scholar was a fantastic discovery. Some of the best food we’ve had downtown. The drinks menu represents classics from the early 20th century. Kyle was our server. He is both welcoming and professional. Highly recommended.
My husband and I visited Scholar for the first time on Monday. The food was amazing (especially the swordfish special), the drinks and recommendations were perfect. Our server was fun and attentive. We’ll definitely be back!

Scholar is a local restaurant that offers an enjoyable dining experience with high-quality food and friendly service. Customers praise the innovative and delicious menu, which features many options and well-presented dishes. The restaurant has three levels with different ambiences, including a cozy downstairs area with a fireplace, stylish design, and comfortable chairs perfect for couples and small groups. The stuffed dates are highly recommended as an appetizer, and the crabcakes received praise. The cocktails are outstanding, with the Dillydally with a shot being especially delicious, and the dirty martini was one of the best in a long time. The food and drinks are excellent, and the service is often exceptional, with staff providing knowledgeable and attentive help. The downstairs "study" area is ideal for cocktails and appetizers, offering a moody, romantic atmosphere. The steak and eggs for brunch are cooked perfectly and melt in your mouth, with the hollandaise having the right texture and flavor. The Farmers Omelette is also highly praised. Customers enjoyed the three-course tasting menu with optional cocktail and wine pairings, and the crabmeat beignets, leek tart, and lamb meatballs were all praised. Overall, Scholar provides a memorable and enjoyable experience for those looking for a great spot in Grand Rapids.
