    After a long day traveling and checking into the hotel we sat at the bar and Ben was an amazing bartender and server. We were told it was an hour wait for a table but what a surprise to have such a great bartender instead of waiting for a table. The crab cakes were amazing and so was the pizza. It was an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere. We had a great night and plan to come back before we leave.

    Having dined at other restaurants by WP, my expectations were realistic. The food was mediocre, lacking in seasoning or imagination. My wine was good. The service, however, was incredibly disappointing. My server showed no sign of concern for my experience, unlike his checking in on the couple to my right and the couple to my left. The only time he showed any interest in my dining experience was when he put the check down next to my dessert (which came with no utensils to use)My check was $74 before tip, not an insignificant amount when most people were ordering pizza for a lot less. I won't return and won't be recommending this to my friends or peers.

    Work dinner. The space was very empty on a Wednesday night at 6pm. Our server was excellent. My food was good. The asparagus wasn't over cooked which was impressive. The chicken wasn't dry and the sauce was decent. It was very 4 star to me. Overall, I probably won't return as I wasnt that impressed and I don't repeat often. If you're looking for a super high end dining experience in GR, I'd go somewhere else. This was affordable-high-end, which means the food was decent, service was good, and vibes were ok.

    This restaurant was in our hotel and we definitely wanted to try it out. We popped in for drinks and appetizers. We ordered the calamari, pizza, cauliflower and the r king lap lettuce wraps. Everything was very good and the ambiance was stellar. Great spot for drinks and apps or a really nice dinner.

    This was overall a pretty decent meal for a restaurant in a hotel. I made a reservation in advance which is easy to do on their website. I was seated in a booth right away, and the server was generally friendly and attentive. The ambiance is open and modern. I had the chicken lettuce wraps to start which were very good if a bit lukewarm. I do like that the chicken is prefilled in the lettuce cups. I also had a ceasar salad which was decent although nothing too amazing. The croutons were fresh and crunchy. For an entree I had the schnitzel which is a classic and an homage to Wolfgang's Austrian home. It was a generous portion and quite tender with a lovely crunchy coating. The potato salad was ok, but some of the potato slices seemed a bit undercooked. For dessert I had the chocolate soufflé which was truly delicious. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare, but it's worth it. Well prepared with no eggy taste and just the right amount of chocolate. Overall this was a solid meal and worth a visit if you're staying nearby!

    Absolutely amazing! The food is incredible here. Each dish we ordered was put together with such great detail. We had our 1 year old daughter with us and our waitress Carmen was the absolute best towards her, and towards us too! 10/10 for sure. Amazing service, amazing vibes, and amazing food.

    We came in late evening for appetizers and drinks. The place was deserted. Our server took our order quickly and brought our drinks, but the appetizers took some time to arrive and then, when we wanted to order a second round later, finding someone to take our order became impossible.

    I ordered a takeout order - their Spring Market Salad, for $20, the most expensive of their three salads. It came to about $21.50 after tax. THIS (pictured) is what I got!!! Horrible. It was truly about 80 cents worth of food and there was nothing good about it. The white stuff? A slurry of goat cheese and water. The pink? A slurry of tuna fish and water. Absolutely disgusting. Save yourself the time and money!

    I came here with a group of 5 for Thanksgiving dinner this year. I had never tried this place before due to the subpar reviews. I'm familiar with who Wolfgang Puck is, but obviously this location is not a flagship or major restaurant of his. However, I was very pleased with our meal! First, the interior of the restaurant is clean, modern, "steakhouse-vibe," and it is overlooking the Grand River a bit from the Amway Plaza. We were at a high top table closer to the bar area. The service was fairly efficient. We ordered brussels sprouts and crab cakes for appetizers, and it was nice that they offered to do 5 crab cakes instead of the standard 3 since we had a group of 5 (not sure what the upcharge was). Two of us ordered the Thanksgiving dinner option, and 3 of us ordered the NY strip steak off the regular menu. The steaks were cooked great; mine was medium rare. I was pleasantly full after eating about half of my plate. A few of us shared the chocolate soufflé for dessert - really good! The salted caramel ice cream that came with it was just OK. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come back here, but I enjoyed my meal here and thought it was fairly priced with a nice ambiance!

    My wife and I had an amazing meal here tonight. Pizza was perfect and the two noodle dishes were excellent as well. It was obvious that all ingredients were fresh. Courteous and friendly service was provided by Logan. We would certainly return another time.

    Of course we had to come here. I picked this as our last dinner our on vacation and it was perfection. What a gorgeous place, on Sundays the valet parking was free. There was a cute shop once you walk in so we could grab some goodies to bring home plus met some other tourists to talk to :P It was the perfect last meal on vacation and service was amazing. My son also sat coloring which was like a wow omg moment for us all lol. I also loved my mocktail so much.

    Empty table by the window when we arrived.

We were seated very promptly since we had a reservation. The outside of restaurant is beautiful and has a huge parking lot. The area where we were seated was really nice with windows all along the wall. And our appetizers- the dressed eggs and lobster ravioli were amazing!! One of the biggest issues was the number of gnats flying around our table throughout the meal. We constantly had to swat them away from our wine glasses, which made it difficult to relax and enjoy the evening. I understand the occasional gnat. But this was kind of ridiculous. The service was also disappointing. Our server mentioned that he had worked at the restaurant for quite some time, but he didn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu and wasn't able to answer questions confidently. He was also not very attentive, and we often had to wait longer than expected for check-ins. Our food came out quickly but the wine always took quite a while to come to the table. The food itself was good, but when you're paying fine-dining prices, you expect the entire experience--including the atmosphere and service--to match. I hope the restaurant addresses these issues because it has the potential to provide a much better dining experience. Also, I would skip the sea bass entree. I was not really impressed with it and wished that I had ordered a pasta dish. However the server helped me decide and chose the sea bass. I loved the atmosphere. I loved the decor. I loved the wine and appetizers. But everything else just did not impress me. Not for the amount of money we dropped on this meal. I doubt I will return.

The space is cozy and pretty large, with what looked to be a private area with a birthday party going on towards the back. Our server was really friendly and patient as we explored the menu, which features Sicilian items like pizza, pasta, and several starters. We wanted to try some appetizers so we ordered the cozze di mare (mussels) with white sauce, rotoli (eggplant rolls filled with Prosciutto di Parma, house-made tomato sauce and provolone cheese, baked then topped with basil), and a Caesar salad. The mussels and eggplant dish came out first and were delicious. I personally loved the eggplant rotoli the most - the eggplant was tender, the sauce was savory, and it was stuffed with cheese and prosciutto... yum! I would get this as a meal with a side of garlic bread for dipping. The mussels were nicely cooked and the sauce was subtle. The salad was crisp and fresh and I liked the different toppings (fresh tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes). The Caesar salad only comes in the large size, but it was good to share with the group. For dinner we shared a couple of pizzas - the bocce and a margherita. The freshly grated cheese over top was perfection - don't skip this! I loved all the toppings on the bocce (basically a version of a supreme pizza) but the pepperoni was my favorite with how crispy it got. The crust was missing a bit of flavor for me, but it was cooked well and not soggy. We were too stuffed for dessert but I'd come back for their cannoli or rotating cheesecake flavors! I want to try their pasta next also.

That's Pietro's. Walking in, the aesthetic is spot-on--clean, bright, with a reassuring wine and pasta shop that screams Luca's delicatessen. Once the food hits the table, however, the illusion fades into what feels like cafeteria-level execution. The Coffee: If you're craving a proper Italian brew like Lavazza, skip it. The "Italian blend" here is an undefinable mix from Canada. Crab Stuffed Mushrooms: Promised Hollandaise, but delivered a texture closer to condensed soup, dominated entirely by black pepper. Not much crab or Hollandaise flavor. Chicken Paisano: A muddy flavor profile where only the prosciutto managed to stand out. Again, the sauce felt heavy and processed rather than freshly made. The staff are incredibly pleasant and enthusiastic, but there's a clear disconnect from the food's cultural roots. For a place boasting an old-country immigrant origin story, the current drift is disappointing. Don't get me wrong--I was hungry, and I ate every bite.
