Best restaurant with a stunning GR view! The food is absolutely amazing with excellent presentation and service. You can tell the chefs really care about their menu and ingredients. There is a lot of thought and love put into the menu and drinks.

Excellent service. We ordered a variety of tapas and they were all excellent. A note though, the kitchen does close at 10 and we showed up at 9, meaning our food came out a bit quicker than we would have liked, so it got cold rather quickly for myself and my girlfriend.

Absolutely the best restaurant experience we have ever had. Octopus was amazing. Dessert was fantastic. But what really made the evening was the staff. In particular, the manager, who’s name I forget now. He took the time to tell us about how the restaurant came to be, describing how he watched Grand Rapids turn into this mecca for foodies. When we wandered upstairs we ran into him again and he showed us the private dining areas. I also loved all of the extra little touches: the olives before dinner, the decorations on the drinks, the GOLD on the chocolate leaf, and the post dinner lime chocolates. ♥️ If we ever find ourselves in Grand Rapids again, we will definitely be back!

MDRD was the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. Ambiance, impeccable yet approachable service, and inspired dishes prepared with an exacting standard. Everything we ordered was gorgeous, perfectly balanced, and just delicious. Thank you, Brandon, our server, and the entire staff for a memorable evening.

A rating of five stars is insufficient for this dining experience! Higher ratings should be available for establishments such as this! My husband and I had our first dining experience here for my birthday, after the recommendation of a friend. Parking validation for half of the parking fee is available conveniently across the street. The views from any table in the restaurant are breathtaking. Our taste buds were set alight with the main courses that we ordered. I had the lobster paella and he had the filet a la plancha. Both brought exquisite high def flavors to our taste buds! We completed the experience with the limon dessert, and I am still left puzzled as to how they worked such culinary magic with that creation! We are so fortunate to live in a town with such a world class restaurant at our fingertips!

Friendly servers, beautiful space, and fantastic views of the city. The ambiance makes any visit feel like a special occasion. For tapas, Salmon Con Trufa and the Patatas Bravas are musts. For drinks, they have a great wine list and any of the cocktails we have tried are delicious. Don’t leave without dessert, they’re all stunning. Love having a place like this in Grand Rapids!

I was invited to MDRD for a special occasion. I had never heard of this restaurant, but after looking at other reviews, I developed high expectations. I do have to say that MDRD lived up to those expectations! The view from the 27th floor is great. Brandon, our server, was very patient with explaining the different food options to our party and accommodating our requests. Our meals started with an olive garnish. Green olives are not my favorite, but it was still a nice touch. We ordered several tapas, which are essentially smaller plates of food that can be shared with the whole table. I highly recommend the lamb chops, they were by far my favorite dish that I tasted that night! I also enjoyed the prawns. The jamon y queso tapa was not my favorite, but everybody else seemed to enjoy it. For my main course I had the ribeye steak. The steak was very flavorful and cooked to my liking. I love how the ribeye was bone in, as that adds a lot of flavor. Of course, this restaurant is expensive, but that goes without saying. If you are looking for a unique fine dining experience in the Grand Rapids area, this would definitely be one of my top picks!
