The service was the perfect balance of not too much and not too little. It's a lovely restaurant with a great menu. Our mussels were a little fishy, but we cleaned our plates with everything else.

It was our first time ever in Grand Rapids and a local recommended Coopers to us, and we are glad we went. The portion of the appetizer was huge, the entrees were good, and the pretzel bread was delicious. The front of the restaurant kinda throws you off because it's store themed and beyond the store is the front desk to the restaurant. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu, and you could tell she cared a ton for the work she was doing. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we will definitely be back again if we are ever up that way.
