First class all the way! Service was top notch! Food was amazing! I ordered the New York Strip, it was the best steak I have ever had in my life. So tender and yummy! The view is awesome. The sunset was perfect. Perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. I would definitely go back! More

You might think because of it's 5 star ranking it may be pretentious, but it is just the opposite. Modern, cool, with excellent service you would expect but in a more laid back atmosphere. We had 2 servers who could answer any question about the menu, offered drink suggestions that were excellent and made the evening enjoyable without hovering. We... More

I grew up in Grand Rapids and remember going to the 1913 Room (when it was still that) to have a fancy dessert but had never been to Cygnus until recently. I went with a group (we had a private room on the upper level) for brunch and I'm sad I waited so long to try it! The views were... More

Beautiful scenery, especially with a table for two with a view. Expensive, artfully prepared dishes served with the utmost of care to the customer. We shared the New York Strip steak and the lamb chops. The steak was wonderful. The best part of the experience was an inventive appetizer which was a pork dish with crepe like shells to wrap...

This restaurant with walls of glass, at the top of the Amway Grand Hotel, has a wonderful view of the city. It happens that the accents are in red which made it fitting with the Christmas decorations in the hotel and restaurant. The atmosphere is elegant and the service is excellent. Our appetizers were not memorable, but the entrees took... More

My husband and I challenge ourselves to find the most creative food offerings in Grand Rapids for our monthly date nights. If you like the unique food options at six.one.six or Bar Divani, you will appreciate the menu at Cygnus. Add to that the fantastic view of the city (especially fun during Art Prize at sunset!) and this was the... More

We met friends for drinks and appetizers here, and was blown away by the view. What a geat birds-eye view of Grand Rapids! I was also taken back by the ultra modern decor and finishing touches. I was impressed that a place like this exists in Grand Rapids! Our wait staff was excellent, and our bartender was great. The food... More

The view, the service (2 waitstaff per table-1 of whom was a single malt scotch expert) and the food all were delightful. The prices were not unexpected given the experience. More

We went out on a date here and the atmosphere was nothing short of amazing! The view was breathtaking and the decor inside the restaurant was sooo gorgeous! The menu, while not extensive, had some very interesting pieces on it that I would like to go back and try. While the food is pricy, it's not completely out there and... More
