Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Kentwood

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.

The food is amazing every time we visit. My wife ended up not feeling well halfway through during our recent visit (nothing to do with the food, she already wasn’t feeling well and thought eating would help), and the staff were very accommodating. We are planning on going back very soon.

Loes was great, and the server recommended a Burbon, which was excellent. The food was very good; I had the Walleye, and my wife had the maui maui, which she enjoyed. Our original table was toward the rear of the dining room, and we asked if a table near the window was available, and they moved us. Excellent service.

A great meal where my wife and I could converse without having to raise our voices. Quiet meals with a loved one is such an underrated pleasure.
