If you want to have fun and socialize...I Do NOT recommend you go to West Sife Socal because that is not the vibe of this place. More like ANTI social!!! Don't go...parking and socializing is terrible.“

She was so sweet and personable.“

Go. Soon.“

“The Old Goat restaurant was so good. Service was top notch. Our server Bailey was new and did a great job!“

“Dinner just this week. Food was, as always, delicious and very well presented! Service was attentive, efficient, and energetic. A really good wine list! Varied regions and countries with representatives of some of the best and best bargains from “old world” and “new world.” We can verify the wine mark-up is absolutely minimal! We had the walleye and shortribs. Both were really delicious! The kind of food one expects to find in NYC, Chicago, SF, etc. Hats off to this husband and wife team that know how to do it up so well, providing outstanding food, wine, and service!! We will keep coming back!“

“Friendly people, great service, the food is delicious. Like it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Highly recommend dining here. Everything we had from appetizers to main course was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond and were very friendly. It was by far the best quality dining out meal we have had in a long time. 5 stars!“

“It was very busy. Staff was working hard to thoroughly clean the tables, chairs and floor when people left. I appreciate how hard they were working to keep it clean. It makes a big difference to me and my family. Food service was timely and good quality. *** Happy hour pricing is $2 each for a small shake and a regular fry. Still a good deal to get rid of the teen hangries.“

“We went to the Mudpenny in Ada for dinner. It was probably the worst food ever presented. The trout was overcooked almost to a dried consistency, the grain had wimpy mushrooms and no taste, completely left off the tomatoes, the drink was very small and over priced. We feel robbed!!!! The bill was split and it came to just under $50.oo for each person!! What a joke!! I want my money back!!“

“I had a great experience at Olives tonight. Everyone from the hostess (Elise) to our waitress (Emily) exemplified great customer service. A couple of my favorites were the brussel sprouts and the lychee drink. We will be back!“

“I had the meatloaf and it was delicious, now I have to go back and try the shrimp pesto😀“

“It's clean, decent food and a happy atmosphere!“

“We were immediately seated when we arrived. The service was good. The guys thought the stout and flights were tasty. I ordered the Traverse City Reisling which is always good. For dinner we ordered the special bacon Mac and cheese (a favorite), the mushroom pizza (amazing wood-fired pizza with several types of mushrooms and cheeses), the Pad Thai (a large serving of deliciousness), and the acorn squash special.“

“We came to try out the city sen restaurant. My husband had the mushroom goat cheeseburger. He said it was juicy and flavorful --no condiments necessary. I had the beef quesadillas. although this was on the shareable menu, it was quite large enough for me as a meal. The food was good, but it was the little amenities that made it very special --the unique silverware, carafe of ice water and pleasant ambient music in a modern setting made it a very special place for our date. It was fun to people watch through the open air windows. ( they fold close to keep in the AC if needed )Alex the manager shared with us some things we want to come back for, live music, etc. definitely planning to go back!

Wheelchair accessibility: The restrooms are quite large with low sinks and wide stalls. Although they are on the lower level, the elevator is also large and quite quick.“

“Fantastic new menu! The folks at Stella's have knocked it out of the park for their 15th anniversary menu. Went with friends and we couldn't stop talking through the meal about how good the food was. Can't wait to come back and try more! Reasonably priced with good portions, too. THE spot to casually hang out downtown in a bar/restaurant hybrid atmosphere.“

“First time here and everything was great! The food was amazing, good portions. We all ordered perch, walleye, tenderloins, prime rib, burger, Caesar salad, and everything was great! Rachael, our server was top-notch and made the evening enjoyable.“

“Had the best service! Will definitely come back!“

“I have breakfast or brunch here every time I'm in the area, and I am never disappointed. The staff here is so warm and welcoming. The restaurant itself has a nice, clean, modern vibe. The avocado toast is the best I've ever had! 💕“

“Excellent food with a creative menu and variety of choices. Everything was so fresh and tasty!“

“Had the ahi tuna nachos, absolutely delicious! It’s the kind of dish you’re still talking about hours after eating it, and then decide it’s so good that you need to write a google review! Just Wow!! Amazing!! 🤩
The staff, atmosphere, and food 10 out of 10!“

“Just visited last night and the staff and the atmosphere was amazing! Highly recommend!!!“

“Great place! The staff is awesome, the food is good, and there’s always amazing music!“

“This restaurant came recommend to me as the best steakhouse in Grand Rapids. I was not disappointed. The staff was friendly (Kathryn) and answered all my questions. The atmosphere is perfect for a fancy date. Very romantic setting to impress. I don't drink alcohol and they had an alcohol free 0% Giasen Merlot which was exquisite. I started with French Onion Soup and Cheese Popover Muffins. For an entree, I had Australian Rib Lamb Chops with a Mint Demi Glase. For a side, I enjoyed Brussels Sprouts with Honey Dijon Mustard Sause. Everything exceeded my expectations and the Merlot paired nicely with the Lamb Chops. I highly recommend the Chop House as a must visit dining destination in the heart of Grand Rapids.“

“Excellent service! Delicious food! My only issue (which doesn’t change my rating) would be the strong fish smell that smacks you when you walk in. But apparently if you’re a dude there are urinal games! I won’t post a picture though… not very appetizing to see a urinal when trying to find good food!“

“This place is fantastic! The food, staff, and the owner are awesome! My family HIGHLY recommends this gem! Absolutely delicious!“

“This was my first time at this restaurant and I can say that the food was very good . Braylin C was my server and she was nice and gave great recommendations from the drink menu. Things was busy so there was a bit of wait but Braylin made sure I was good“

“Went in to watch Tiger game - had mysic on but once Rob Butler realized it was the first playoff game in 10 yrs he had the play by play turned on. It was electric!! People jumping around! Great pizza and ask for Amber to wait on you.“

“This place is the absolute best! I love everything I’ve tried from here. The espresso chocolate cookies may just be the best cookie I’ve ever had. Their pizzas are amazing too! I really love the Kosovo pizza. The burek with the spicy red pepper sauce is my absolute favorite! All of the scones and patties I’ve tried from here I would order again (and I’ve tried plenty). This place deserves so much hype it’s absolutely outstanding! From the food to the employees/customer service, this place is an 12/10!!“

“Great Food! Awesome service.“

“I recommend taking the place in as a whole. The story, the owners, the service, the food, the folks sitting next to you ready to have a friendly conversation. You just have to see it for yourself.“

“Great menu selection, great service.. the sweet potato breakfast - I do not recommend… 🤷🏼‍♀️ went out elsewhere for a 2nd breakfast..“
