   I recently visited Knoop in Grand Rapids and, unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from start to finish. Upon arrival, we waited over five minutes for a hostess to greet us. There was no staff in sight, leaving us standing awkwardly at the entrance. The food failed to impress. My Caesar salad was over-dressed and overwhelmed with croutons and cheese, leaving little room for the romaine. One of the other salads featured candied pecans that were under-candied, causing the sugar to dissolve into the salad and completely alter the intended flavor. The sandwiches we ordered arrived cold and were served on very small plates — hardly enough room to cut them in half, much less eat them neatly. They were also quite messy and bland. Service was lacking as well. Our server didn’t check back with us until 20 minutes after our food was delivered, by which time most of the issues went unaddressed. The cocktails were another disappointment. They were overly sweet and not prepared correctly. While the rooftop setting and view have a lot of potential, the poor service, uninspired food, and careless drink execution made for a frustrating and forgettable experience. I hope Knoop takes steps to improve, because right now, it’s not somewhere I’d recommend.

   We had a 5:30 reservation on a Sunday night and I belive they were short staffed. We waited 45 minutes to get our meals after we asked another waiter to check on it. He brought it right out to us Luke warm and we never saw our waitress again. We asked that same waiter to cash us out and he pleasantly did so. So surprising that one server can multitask and the other was too overwhelmed. The food did taste good just a bit cold. It seems like this is becoming more normal in today's food service industry 😳

   Excellent drink and beer options. Great views. Food good, interesting choices, although somewhat limited which is okay because they can focus on them. Quiet as we went fairly early. Host, bartenders pleasant. Will go back.

   The experience was amazing; I enjoyed every bit of it. Ali (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) was fantastic, and her customer service was outstanding.

   Great service, steak was amazing. My wife loves the scallops. The garlic knots were pretty bad… cold and tasted like they were straight from Aldi
