A really attractive space in downtown Ada. I stopped in for lunch today and decided to try the…read moreDeviled Eggs and the Tavern Smash Burger. I had heard that this place had good food, but because the price point was a bit higher than average, I wanted to try it for myself before bringing my family. The service was attentive and friendly. The food, however, did not meet expectations. I found the deviled eggs to be overcooked and a bit rubbery while simultaneously lacking flavor. The presentation was nice but I care more about the taste than how it looks. The Tavern Smash Burger does not seem to know what it wants to be. The patties were thicker than a traditional smash burger, lacking the juiciness of a regular burger while also missing the caramelization of your typical smash patty. The accompanying "Chef's Sauce" for the burger was not particularly flavorful and there was not enough acidic content to counter the fattiness of the burger. The bacon that topped the burger was cubed pieces that were chewy and frankly off-putting, and I found myself wishing for crispy bacon strips instead. All in all, I really wanted to love this place, but I just don't. The food wasn't terrible, but also nowhere near good enough to justify the cost or make me want to stop back in.

the ambiance is fine - not too loud in there - and despite being called a tavern it feels like a…read morenicer sit down restaurant our server didn't seem too attentive though / slow in bringing out silverware and also not that friendly lemon pepper chicken: the pepper was in the salt shaker btw (which usually should have one hole) - i tried to put pepper on my lemon chicken and ended up putting salt. but honestly, neither salt or pepper would have salvaged this terrible dish. the chicken was tender but the flavor was awful. no hint of lemon or pepper anywhere. what is this weird cornstarch-y sweet sauce? and why is it that all the veggies are overcooked?!! just mush :((( but again the sauce.. was really awful in this and i didn't want to eat but i also didn't want to go hungry so reluctantly ate it. butternut squash soup: the squash soup was alright / just very ginger-y and a bit on the sweeter side for my taste. spicy pineapple n/a drink: the drink felt a bit watered down. i don't feel the need to go back here again. oh and the food came out pretty slow!

Upon entry we were greeted by friendly staff and given a menu to review while we waited for our table. After being seated we were able to order drinks and food quickly! Everything came out in a timely manner. We also got a free dessert for our anniversary which was such a wonderful touch! The dining space is a little small which made it difficult to converse at some points but this was truly the only downside. We can't wait to return to this spot for another delicious dinner! Food: -Calamari: beautifully seasoned and breaded. Great portion size with amazing flavor! -Chicken Scallopini: Creamy lemon goodness! Rich flavor with perfectly cooked chicken. The angel hair pasta did get a little soggy underneath the chicken- maybe swap it would for an alternative noodle?

From…read morethe moment you step in, you're transported to a cozy, classy hideaway that feels both exclusive and inviting. What really stood out was the bartending -- not just the skill, but the passion. After hearing the bartender's take on the Old Fashioned, I let him make it his way -- and it might be one of the best I've had. Balanced, bold, and beautifully smooth. Two of my friends described what they were in the mood for, and the bartender crafted custom cocktails for each of them -- both drinks were spot on and had them raving the rest of the night. If you're in Grand Rapids and want a cocktail experience that goes beyond the ordinary, SidebarGR is a must. Expert mixology, great atmosphere, and personalized service that makes you feel like a regular -- even on your first visit.

They have a secret menu where you can get a dice and roll to try all of their drinks and once you try all of them you can name a drink on their menu - cool concept! One of my favorite parts is the unique glasses that they use to display the drinks. It's a swanky cocktail lounge vibe with a nice big patio that is perfect for Michigan summers.

Their outdoor space is great, lots of seating and in a great part of cherry street (ice cream shop right across the street was tempting!). We were seated right away and our server was super helpful with my many questions and gave us some great recommendations and walked us through the menu because there are quite a lot of options and can be kind of intimidating. We had the Midwest old fashioned and a raspberry Tom Collin's, which I believe is a seasonal drink. They do have rotating menus, so it gives you something new to come back for. Good option for a pre-dinner cocktail.

The cherry spritz, mama I dream of it still . My only qualm is that I am a stickler for good glassware ~ I would like to see the beverages with a stem. And based on the aesthetic I know the owner could find some classic glassware. We need more places like this in GR, and I need more POH in my LIFE.

It was fairly quiet but the staff was friendly and the vibes inside were so filled with holiday cheer! I love how they decorate the space and you can purchase little things to go and just enjoy time with your friends, whether it's for a fancy girls night or just having a chill night out. Whatever your vibe is, Pursuit of Happiness is a wonderful woman owned business that I love to support! It's kind of tucked away from the bustle of the street, but you can easily find some off street parking around the corner in a lot or find some street parking pretty easily, which is really nice. I always forget this place is here but I always enjoy it when I come back! I need to keep it in my rotation and come back more often! The vibes are just too good.

Service was top notch from start to finish. Plates were cleared between each course, we were checked on often but not too much and felt super taken care of. The tart strawberry mocktail was one of the best I've ever had, refreshing and perfectly balanced. We started with the truffle arancini- it sits on top of a bed of black pepper aioli which was to die for. The gem salad was fresh- loved the addition of crispy prosciutto&mandarins. I had the double waygu burger with fries(highly recommend asking for a side of the black pepper aioli for your fries!!) while my husband had the hanger steak frites. Both were cooked perfectly and SO flavorful. We were stuffed, but had to finish with the tiramisu. It came in a chilled glass- so appreciate the attention to detail.

Tip: set a reminder on Yelp because the wait time for a 1:00pm timeframe was over 160 minutes! The Yelp wait time is pretty accurate in my opinion. Ordered the chicken and waffles: they come with chicken strips cut up on top of 4 triangle waffles. They were good but just personal preference, could have done without the red pepper flakes on the dish. Also, had the veggie omelette with added sausage and the small pancakes. I will say their drink and cocktail list had a good variety of unique options. Ambiance is modern and stylish with bar area seating with a tv as well as dining area. Looking forward to coming back here again!
