About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
Forty Pearl is a sensory Pure Michigan experience in the heart of Downtown Grand Rapids. Our mission is to showcase Michigan wines and small-batch wineries by pairing them with adventurous bites and sourcing seasonal ingredients locally. We are a collective of Michigan-based winemakers, chefs, storytellers, 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 a neighborhood gem in Grand Rapids.

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.

    We were very excited to try this restaurant out, upon arrival it is super cute, decor was very cool. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and sat at a high top, our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We had the mussels for an app and they were delicious! My wife ordered the scallops and I had the ribeye. My wife’s scallops were ok just a little under seasoned. My ribeye was not rendered down enough so the fat was pretty chewy and the plate was far to small for the steak and sides, it was difficult to cut the steak when it was the same size as the plate. All in all we would go back for apps and some wine but probably not for a full meal

    My husband and I chose Forty Pearl to celebrate my birthday. Everything was wonderful……the service, food and ambiance. We also enjoyed the late 90’s music they were playing:)

    Miranda was incredible, her attitude and aptitude were stellar. She knew the wines inside and out as well as the menu and made the perfect pairing for each of our courses based upon our personal likes. We will definitely return next time we’re in GR!

    Mussels should always have more than 1 toast and a discard bowl, the Brussels were overcooked
