Forty Pearl is a sensory Pure Michigan experience in the heart of Downtown Grand Rapids. Our mission is to showcase the finest Michigan wines by pairing them with adventurous bites, sourcing seasonal ingredients locally. We are a collective of Michigan-based winemakers, chefs, story tellers, and characters.

Originally opened by Ed and Robert Brengman as a tasting room to showcase their award-winning wines and bring a taste of Traverse City to Grand Rapids, Forty Pearl has grown to be so much more with the partnership of Brengman Brothers and our culinary team, led by Chef Taylor Boeschenstein.

We’d put Michigan up with the best of ‘em for producing some of the finest wine, cocktails, and food and we strive to showcase this in every glass and plate served. Our restaurant is best suited for adults.

Hopefully this was an off night for this restaurant and not the norm. The whole evening seemed to be riddled with issues. Dishes were very slow to come out, some courses never came out, and some dishes were served different than ordered. No one seemed to even realize that they missed serving items that were ordered. When the mains were finally served every single one was room temperature. I presume they sat in the back for quite some time. It’s too bad, as many of the dishes had good flavor, but they were marred with the temperature issue. It’s going to be hard to consider returning as no one stepped up to proactively recover the multiple debacles after they were pointed out.

We're from Indy and had Umphrey's Mcgee tix at 20 Monroe. We wanted a hotel and dinner reservations within walking distance of the theater so chose to dine at 40 Pearl. We are SO glad we chose well. Excellent choice! Josh was a great server and our dinner was excellent! I had the Farow Island salmon, which was delicious. Beautiful old building across the street that we enjoyed looking over through the window. It was a great evening!

We were a party of 6 and tried a variety of apps, main dishes and desserts. Everything was great - the food was really fresh and high quality. Our service was very good, which is hard to do with a large party. The noise level is moderate - we were able to conduct conversations without any problems. The dining room is somewhat casual (bare wooden tables), but the glass ware and silver ware is all kind of fancy, making the ambiance very gourmet feeling. Our table was near the front door and, as it was a very cold night, there was a cold draft from time to time. If you are in another part of the dining room, you would not have that problem. I certaily recommend Forty Pearl.

Based on the online reviews, we were eager to try this restaurant, but were disappointed. The service was very good but many menu items were unavailable (at 7pm). We were left with very few menu choices and our food was delivered to the table cold. Sadly, a "one and done" experience for us.

Excellent food, drinks and service. The walleye was fresh, loved the mustard sauce with it. Portions are just the right size, not oversized. We shared an amazing creme brulee with a honey comb on top, so good. I had the Whispering on the Garden cocktail also excellent. The wine list was extensive. Great service and atmosphere.
