Restaurants near Forest Hill Park

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 perfect experience on Valentine’s Day! Our reservation was at 5:00 pm and we were seated promptly. Our server was polite and quick. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and our kids enjoyed their meals. The s’more dessert was top notch! We bought a bottle of wine to take home for the evening. Thank you for another great experience at this location!

This was our first visit to The Post Tavern inside the Ada Hotel. I am not easily impressed, but I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The space itself has a lot of natural light shining in, which balances some of the dark, modern interior finishings very well. The service was amazing, and the food was top notch. My partner had the Shepherd’s Pie, and I had the Lobster Mac. Both were delicious and of high quality. The plating of the Shepherd’s Pie was especially beautiful, and I was very pleased with the amount of lobster in the Mac. Highly recommend visiting The Post Tavern!

Food was amazing! Loved the atmosphere! I was with my elederly parents and the music was loud. I asked if they could turn down and they were very nice and did for us. Service was amazing!

They had a great server. The experience is fun, but the quality of food and the amount of food for what you pay is absolutely ridiculous.
