The restaurant has a classy feel and is not too loud which we all 4 truly appreciated. Our waitress Jaylee was absolutely wonderful and tried very hard to make up for the under par food and very slow bar service. The Pan seared grouper was extremely over salted and not edible but they were kind enough to take it off our bill along with one of our desserts (much appreciated) The steak with rosemary fries was cooked perfect and tasty but the fries were a bit over salted in everyone’s opinion. The grilled salmon was plain but came with delicious rice. The white chili soup was excellent and we had no complaints on our 2 dessert – besides the calories…The Coffee was weak and not very hot, but it was a generous cup.

Walked in and seated promptly. We had our two children with us. Ordered drinks, they were out of the drink I ordered. I swapped it for something else not at all what the menu said. Our server brought some pineapple to add to it, didn’t want to complain but it just tasted like juice at that point. Took forever to get our food, steak came out very well done-instead of medium well. The salmon had no flavor. The lettuce wraps were just grilled chicken and veggies- More like a fajita with lettuce. We just ate and asked for the bill bc we were starving at this point we didn’t have time to ask for it to be fixed. We’re so disappointed we didn’t even get dessert. Only good thing were the kids meals, which should’ve been out before our meals. Benjamin was a good server, but I could tell there was some staffing issues.

If you are looking for stellar service, relaxing ambiance and fine dining, The Grill Room is the restaurant to look to within the city of Grand Haven. Ben has taken care of our family there for years and provides the careful, curated experience we appreciate when escaping from a busy world. Perfect for special occasions, business dinners, gatherings, and every day.

Meh overall. The cocktail and dinner menu looked good on paper, but failed to deliver. The cocktails were OK, but not particularly well crafted. The steak was overcooked. The staff were accommodating and friendly.

Great atmosphere: Below average food. Each of the three servers that we encountered were in soiled uniforms that looked like they had been retrieved from the hamper. The service was pleasant if not attentive. We ate in the bar area and the server was spread across too many tables. We ordered a pair of blood orange Margaritas. We had them a couple of weeks earlier on the Kirby side and they were fantastic. Tonight they tasted like air freshener. The bar manager offered to add a splash of OJ to fix it and admitted that they struggle to keep the mix consistent. He seemed sincere in his attempt to provide good service. The crab cakes were a huge disappointment. They had been re-heated and were soggy without a hint of crisp on the outside. The calamari appetizer was decent. The calamari were tender, but the canned tomatoes drug down a good attempt. The bread was somewhere between room temperature and warm. It had been frozen and reheated which gave it a mealy texture. I really want to like this place, It has a nice atmosphere and great location. K2 upstairs and cold beer are a better option.

I requested the Grill Room when my husband said we are invited to dinner by a company he does business with. I would have preferred to email them this experience but their site is down so it will go in a review. We arrived on time to find one of our guest at the table already. He had not been waited on.We sat and had to wait longer than we should have to get a waiter. I have dined here in the past and had great food and service. This was not what I expect for the prices.We finally got drinks and ordered a couple of appetizers they came we shared them around the table. The mushrooms were inedible, too salty to eat. he took them back to the kitchen and came back to report we were right and they would comp them or get us something else. Then we we ordered a bottle of wine 3 of us shared the bottle others got other drinks. The waiter removed all the other wine glasses. Hello more of them wanted wine with the meal, so he had to go get more glasses for the table. The service was lacking unlike when we have been there before. ( I find no excuse for this we had a reservation not like they didn’t know we were coming) 2 of our party were sick by morning after eating some of the sea food. ( one a pregnant woman) On the upside the steak was wonderful, and my vegetarian dish real good. The muscles for appetizer also very good. Service this night not so good .

Thinking I would support a local business and treat my wife and children to a fine dining experience, but this was a major disappointment.

Made reservations to celebrate an anniversary. Host and server welcomed us by name and wished us a special evening, and that went a long way. Service was excellent- with an appetizer, there was a steady stream of tasty food. The lady ordered a NY strip and i ordered the filet, which was divine. Pricey but well worth the investment. Will be coming back if we ever find ourselves in the Grand Haven area again.

We had our annual trip to Grand Haven this weekend and went to the Grill Room Saturday nigh . Something is wrong with The Grill Room!! Service as fine, but the food has gone way, way down hill. 50% of the meals(from a group of 12) were wrong or tasted not good. Staffing is not as it should be and they run out of mushrooms on a Saturday night at a steak house! I really hope they get it fixed and back to their normal good restaurant!!!

Delicious steak options. Fresh seafood. Service is professional from the preparation of the meal until you walk out of the door. Set in a late 1800s Hotel, the vibe inside is retro and urban feeling. The Bar is well stocked with any option and shelf imaginable. Reservations are tough, calling ahead is a must. On a busy night you will wait for a table. It will be worth it..
