    Food was excellent with great service. This a great place, but not if you're looking for a relaxing or romantic atmosphere.

    Wow! First timer and took my cousin out and it was her first time as well. Terrence was… how do I put this? PERFECTION! The moment he walked up to the table, he brought a smile to our faces, was inviting, informative, and energetic in a way that totally matched the vibes of MDRD. There was quite a large table of loud businessmen next to us, but thankfully they finished up within 45 mins or so of us taking a seat. Grateful for that because I felt like we were having to shout across our two top to hear each other over their booming voices. This obviously had nothing to do with the restaurant, but it felt worth mentioning if you are sitting along the booths behind the bar. The tables are close so everything felt very intimate with the couples on each side of us. It was cute though and the couples next to us felt like old friends as Terrence brought us all together to talk our favorite cocktails so far, what glassware we loved, and then we would all go back about our business. It was absolutely lovely and will 100% return. Excellent views! Excellent vibes! I definitely felt like I was in a city bigger than Grand Rapids during this dinner.

    Service was slow. The place was not busy. Although the website says make reservations for Friday and Saturday as they will be busy. When we arrived there was no hostess with a sign saying seat yourself. May have been a nontypical Friday. But our biggest annoyance was slow service predominantly with bar drinks. This seemed odd given how empty the place was. Food overall was good. The waitress was friendly just as noted very slow bar service.
