Best Cozy Restaurants in Kentwood

Great night at Scholar as always! One of the best spots in Grand Rapids hands down!

Very comfortable restaurant. Food was pretty good. If you are GF, not many entree options but enjoyed the appetizers and salad. Service was top notch. You can also enjoy a cocktail while sitting in the lobby area (very comfortable!!).

Our 50th anniversary celebration at the Domes on jdek was great! Our server was outstanding and the food was excellent. A memorable experience!

Absolutely a great experience. Starting with the free valet service; moving on to the bar for a glass of wine before dinner. The dinner, what a menu; plenty to choose from. We started with appetizers, then the server took our order. Just the pace I love. Finishing dinner, after dinner drinks and shared dessert. And to end the wonderful evening, the valet had our car WAITING!! BEST yearly Christmas dinner with lifelong friends. Thank you, thank you.

Upon deciding to try a local establishment for dinner, Matchbox caught our eye. We knew parking would be an issue, especially in a densely populated neighborhood coupled with little to no parking availability near the restaurant. The walk about 1.5 blocks was invigorating and after our meal was a needed trek. The server was super friendly, but appeared to become totally overwhelmed with the amount of tables which quickly filled her station. Overall, our food was delicious. Simple but very tasty. Seating was an issue for us, as my partner was sticking out in the middle of the walkway in such a way that the distance from. the corner of the bar top and his chair only left wiggle room to pass, He felt 'inundated' with the traffic pattern. If anyone has sat in the first 3-seater row expanded from a 2 seater row on an airplane can attest to the inconvenience and interruptions that occur. Same with this particular table. It appeared to be that other tables were not affected. Would we return - probably - to see if things just might be a bit better.
