Restaurants near Waterfront Park

Went here for a late valentine’s dinner . Everything was absolutely amazing , from the warm greeting at the door, to the outstanding service from our waiter Avery . She did a wonderful job explaining the menu and giving us recommendations on some of the meals. The food was flavorful, delicious and cooked to perfection. We had a beautiful window view, and enjoyed our tasty cocktails. Highly recommend this restaurant for a lovely romantic evening.

Very cute a fun restaurant. Food was good and service was was perfect. Everything on the menu is pretty pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Besides having the best steaks in Grand Rapids, the service at Bowdies is always top notch. Sometimes good service can be more impactful than the food and Bowdies goes above and beyond. In January 2025 the parking structure close by was taken down, so give yourself a couple extra minutes to find parking.

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner with our family. Our server, Garrett, provided excellent menu explanations. The food was superb. We will definitely return. The food, service, and ambiance were all exceptional.
