Will sparks fly on your next date night in Grand Rapids, Michigan? While the chemistry is up to you and your date, dining together at one of the most romantic restaurants in Grand Rapids will undoubtedly set the mood. My recommendations are based on my own dining experiences in Grand Rapids.
I lived in West Michigan for nearly nine years, including five in downtown Grand Rapids. With more than restaurants, the Greater Grand Rapids area boasts a diverse dining scene to explore with your significant other.

This modern Italian and French restaurant in downtown Grand Rapids may be my absolute favorite romantic restaurant.
On date night, start by sharing a burrata appetizer. Then, share a gourmet pizza, indulge in a heartwarming pasta dish, or try the modern take on the classic French beef bourguignon.
The wine list has California, French, and Italian vino to pair with your food, but I recommend trying one of the Bistro martinis, negronis, or other artfully crafted cocktails. Reserve your table at Bistro Bella Vita. During your own birthday dinner or anniversary celebration, order oysters on the half shell or pan-seared diver scallops to start. Then, if you are still in the mood for seafood, order the jumbo South African lobster tail or salmon Oscar.
Otherwise, prime steaks are an excellent choice. Together you can share the oz. Like most fine steakhouses, you can expect exceptional service, a high-quality wine selection, and delicious a-la-carte side dishes for the table. You may find street parking nearby. Otherwise, there are numerous parking structures within walking distance. Like the golden beets dish, some menu items are vegetarian, and grove also accommodates gluten-free and vegan diets. The farm-to-table cuisine is to be savored, and the beverages are equally impressive.
