Zivio was rocking on a Tuesday night. We arrived at 6 and it was nearly full. We were seated after…read moreabout a 10 minute wait. Our drink orders weren't taken for another 10. The servers were moving fast trying to take care of all the tables!! The drink menu is good but I was disappointed in the draft craft beer selection. I opted for a canned beer. Our appetizer came out quickly which was the feta dip. It was amazing and served with some delicious breads and veggies! We split the chicken Schwarma which had excellent flavor. The chicken and rice were moist and tasty. It came with grilled vegetables and humus with a huge piece of pita. More than enough for us both. Taziki sauce added to the experience. The menu is primarily middle eastern with a few exceptions. Katie was our server and she did a great job.

Stopped in at Zivio midday and sat outside in the patio area. The vibes indoors seemed cool, and…read morethe patio outside is a covered seating area with a few tables in direct sunlight. I ordered a margarita and it was lackluster, tasting of mostly bitter sour mix more than anything else. For food the sexy fries ended up feeling not so sexy, but rather greasy because of the cheese on top. They still tasted great though. The nachos with gyro meat was delicious, and the nachos are pita bread like a deconstructed gryo sandwich. The feta dip was also yummy especially on the assortment of veggies and breads paired with it. Noticed they serve a brunch and happy hour on the way out, so would definitely come back to this place and try a different drink and an entree next time as the staff were friendly and helpful.

I ordered the Spicy Pork Meatballs ($16) as an appetizer. They were excellent. Not mind blowing unique, but done to a high standard. I came for the Beef Brisket Bourguignon ($36). I had heard they had a real good pot roast. Well it wasn't just really good. It was spectacular! Probably the best I've had. So tender and flavorful. The sauce with it is excellent and perfectly emphasizes the beef. The potatoes and veggies with it are all perfectly cooked also. I finished with their Chocolate Tart ($13). It was fantastic! It is chocolate to the nines. However it doesn't cross the line of being too much. The chocolate is extremely high quality and super tasty. The service was fantastic. It was super friendly and knowledgeable. Attentive without being too much. Shout out to Harrison, he was awesome. Overall one of the easiest 5 star reviews I've ever done. They are now in my top 5 places in Grand Rapids. Would I return? Lol, duh!

First things first. I have to address why I was so sad after this visit. I TOTALLY FORGOT they have…read moremini cocktail flights. I was so excited about this option when I saw it on Instagram but there is so little mention of it in the menu (basically an, "ask us about our mini cocktail flight" at the bottom of a page) and no leaflet showing the flight details or price. I'm very much a person that likes to try a little bit for everything so once I remembered it after we left, I had a moment. I got a Gin Fizz and the bf got a Blueberry Vanilla Mule. The gin Fizz tasted very much like lemonade, even with the addition of cran flavoring. The Blueverry Vanilla Mule was very strongly clove. If you like clove, you'd likely like that one. We decided against getting second cocktails since happy hour had ended, but got a flight to try their stuff. We like the liqueurs but they are hard to sip straight due to all the flavor they pack. Our favorite was the Pink Peppercorn Gin out of everything we tried. We would definitely come back, but please print out the cocktail flight list or at least suggest it if people are hemming and hawing over what to get like I was.

The tour is $20 and it comes with a flight, which we were going to try anyway. Or you can just do the tour for $10 if you don't want a flight. It's not much of a "tour" in a physical sense as their production facility is small, in just one room, but we learned a lot about distilling in general, as well as a lot of information about the company and their products. I'd highly recommend it especially if you don't know much about the company. The interior has a 20s speakeasy feel, which I really liked. It's a little fancy but comfortable and welcoming. The drink menu was pretty large and it was tough for me to choose which drink I wanted after the flight. I ended up with the blueberry margarita because it was on happy hour. It was really great! Not too sweet. Nate got the cherry black Manhattan which we both enjoyed too. I loved the flight because we got to try pretty much all of the spirit offerings, including their amaro, Oaxacan green corn bourbon, and pink peppercorn gin, which were all unique and very tasty. Our bartender was knowledgable and very kind - great service. I'll definitely be back!
