    WONDERFUL experience!! 10/10, what a wonderful birthday dinner my Momma and I had together. The food was delightful, the new menu items were great, but the star of the show was our fantastic server, Terrance! We felt so happy and relaxed all through our meal and we loved everything Terrance recommended for us. Our favorite app were the spiced carrots, the scallops entree was so tasty, and the olive oil torte was amazing!! We have already started planning our next trip up to MDRD and we can’t wait! Thank you so much for a wonderful evening, you truly are the best dining experience in Grand Rapids.

    Well, let’s just say that if I ever come back, it will only be for the view and a drink. The food lacked flavor and was cold when it arrived at our table. I booked a birthday dinner, and the restaurant had a nice “Happy Birthday” card on the table, but I was very disappointed that they didn’t even give me whipped cream on a plate as a birthday treat despite the high prices for small portions. My thought is that maybe they are struggling, and a treat might break their budget!

    Exceptional service and food. The attention to detail does not go unnoticed here. The menu is vibrant and has something for every palate. A great place to celebrate a special occasion or to enjoy a fine dining experience. I have been here several times and I have yet to be disappointed or underwhelmed.
