Downtown Restaurants

My husband and I went to Merton’s Prime for Christmas dinner. They had a special menu - there were several choices for main dishes, appetizers, side, dishes, and desserts. There’s an extensive wine and drink menu. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was top-notch. The food was delicious and we had a lovely, relaxing dinner. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed every minute of our experience.

Scholar is one of my top three restaurants in Grand Rapids. It truly hits all the categories you want in a nice dinner downtown. Atmosphere and decor is beautiful and moody. Food is INCREDIBLE!! Cannot recommend the Bison Short Ribs if they're still on the menu when you go. Delish cocktails and the staff is kind and. charming. Scholar is always one of my first places to recommend to friends who want a night out. The menu is pricey, for sure, but you're absolutely getting what you pay for! Worth every dollar imo.

We will miss you, Molly! Thank you for so many years of fine dining and service.

Four of us all had brunch options, everything was great. The place was clean and friendly. Always enjoy the food when we can stop in.

We had a great evening celebrating my bestie’s birthday!! We had wonderful service, very good food, and the atmosphere was quiet, just as we requested. We enjoyed beautiful views of the city while we had our dinner!
