A Heartfelt Thank You For Your Support of Cygnus27!

It is with a heavy heart that we closed Cygnus27 for renovations to welcome a new restaurant, MDRD. Located at the top of the Amway Grand Plaza, established in 1983, Cygnus27 is the jewel in the crown of AHC Hospitality. Over the past three decades we have hosted many of your special moments. During its tenure, Cygnus27 remained a memorable place with the most spectacular views of Grand Rapids.

MDRD opens on November 17th, 2020! For more information, please visit https://amwaygrand.com/dining/mdrd

We thank you for your patronage and support over the years and look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Until then, we hope you will support another AHC family restaurant, The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck, directly below us on the first floor.

Sincerely,
The Cygnus27 Staff

Anniversary. We marked anniversary as our occasion in the open table app reservation. However it was not acknowledged. Which is completely fine. However, we found it odd that both tables near us did have their anniversaries acknowledged.

The view is super cool. Especially if you're put in a corner table like we were! Feels like a Chicago restaurant (because up high / all windows) which you can't get at many places in GR.

As always, the meal was great and the service was fabulous! The PEI Mussels were delicious, the rack of lamb cooked perfectly and the Artic Char was so tender!! Our server Michaelyn (sp?), did a wonderful job. She was attentive, but not too much. Her wit and personality, were a great match and made dining fun and not stuffy! Will miss you not being open for a year- and sincerely hope that when you come back reinvented- that you still provide an upscale, enjoyable evening!!!

Cygnus has been my favorite restaurant for the last 15 years, I am sad to see it change but excited for what is to come. The service is excellent, the food is divine, and the view is absolutely incredible. My husband and I drove out from IL for one last hoorah dinner there before they shut their doors on the 16th, and we were so glad we took the trip. Shout out to our server Anna who treated us like family and makes the best drinks in town (it's a whiskey sour that tastes like key lime pie! Yummm!)

We were there for brunch. First of all every employee owe came in contact with was great. Each station at the buffet had great employees. Nice variety of food stations and some food choices were fantastic and some average. Was pleased that a brunch type cocktail was included. For a special occasion , its nice to go to. Can't beat the view.

Great service as always! Our food was just OK. Couple of good dishes and a couple of bland tasting dishes. Raw oysters were a big disappointment. We ordered 4 appetizers and 2 main courses. We made prior reservations and requested window seating if available. Upon arrival, we saw 4 empty tables along the window but were told all were spoken for. Our dinner lasted 90 minutes. 3 of t4 tables remained empty during our stay. Really disappointed with the denial of our window seats especially when 3 tables were empty during our entire stay.
