Had the best tapas paired with the best service from Derick, our waiter. Loved that they had a gluten free baguette with pesto, and all of our food was delicious.

First visit here was several years ago on an overnight stay for a concert. Today I had to go back because that time was so good. Today I went and sat at the bar for brunch the staff (all 4 I encountered) were friendly and helpful answering questions and making suggestions that made my visit amazing. I went for this avocado toast gluten free with added egg and coffee, followed up with a citrus drink they mixed for me (not cocktail) that was the perfect refresher after the delicious meal. 10/10 recommend going here when in Grand Rapids, it is a super adorable yet smaller space so try to go outside the typical meal times or be patient and willing to wait. It’s worth it in my opinion.

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN THE AREA! My husband and I started off just getting the most popular/well known dishes, however, the quality of the food and flavors are so delicious that we started branching out. We have never been let down, and continue to get more adventurous and expand our palates. So far we haven’t gotten a single thing we didn’t like! Service is warm and friendly. And I appreciate that they are knowledgeable about gluten free options! Eat here!

I enjoyed everything about this place. The options for tacos was beyond expectation. The host was very hospitable. I love the menu set up, you fill out your order at your table. Everything is marked if it is gluten or dairy free. Service was great. Price was very reasonable. Food was excellent. My peach margaritas was just the way I like it...tart 😊 They also have a pet friendly deck you can enjoy with your furry friend.

We really enjoyed this spot. The ambiance and service were great. Love how you can get a waffle any time of the day, especially a gluten free waffle! My favorite out of the love me tender, ol’ blue eyes, and hashtag (all were ordered gf) was the love me tender. If you are a peanut butter lover like me you have to get this one!

Dylan was an awesome server. Very knowledge about allergies & the menu. He was very attentive too! Beacon’s takes allergies very serious - they have a dedicated gluten free fryer!! The walleye, oysters, crab dip, & fish & chips were all great choices! So hard to find fried GF fish. 10/10 will be back!! So good!

I came here for the gluten free options and did get glutened. The waitress was not at all knowledgeable about gluten and reassured me multiple times that the ‘cookie’ in my milkshake was gluten free, but it was made with wheat flour. Proceed with extreme caution if you are highly sensitive to gluten or have celiac.

We ate here with a party of seven, four adults and three children the first time prior to a show at the nearby devos performance hall. We enjoyed the food, but what stood out was the friendly service, and excellent care from Sam and Theodora. They were attentive, kind, and friendly to our children. We had a great time and hope to be back. Restaurant was clean including restrooms. Nice decor. Drinks: 4 of us for lavender lemonade and loved them. My husband got a Paloma and enjoyed it. Food: GET A BISCUIT. They are dreamy. We also enjoyed the rest of our meals including a kids burger, the filet meal, the gluten free pork, and a chicken sandwich. Too full for dessert but also opted out because of no gluten free desert options. We’re likely to be back next time we’re in GR and want good food in a casual, family friendly atmosphere with nonalcoholic good drinks.

Stopped in after a Lego event downtown. The only tables they had were Hightower, which were not my favorite. I enjoyed splitting a gluten-free pizza and a nice salad with my wife. Both were very good. The salad may have been even better. The kids only had a little food to take home. The best moment there was when there was a dad and a toddler waiting for the bathroom. After waiting, they discover there is no changing table in the men's. The speak to the servers and the servers post guard outside the women's for him. As a father and human, I really appreciated that. Enjoyed this place and would go again.

We went in around 3:30pm, and the menu was different than the one online. They had a dinner menu along with a limited small breakfast all day menu. All of their potato options are coated in flour which is disappointing and limiting for those gluten free. The food and ambiance was mediocre. I recommend trying a different spot if you are gluten sensitive considering the limited options.

We just came today with a large group of 13 people for a corporate event and we had a fantastic time! We were all amazed at what a cool and really beautiful space it was. Dante was our server and absolutely crushed it taking care of all of us with appetizers, lunch, and drinks. The food and drinks were outstanding! (Loved that it catered to our group with some gluten free options too!). Calvin was there and explained the setup of games and frequently checked in to answer any questions. We all left saying that we couldn't wait to come back. Has all the cool vibes of Top Golf but even cooler getting to experience indoors and caters to those maybe not interested in golf. We can't wait to come back!
