Lunch Date with My Beautiful Daughter, Margie!

Cozy and Warm

Rustic vibe with upscale, open atmosphere

Bistro Bella Vita delivers outstanding food and service every single time. From the moment you walk in till the last good bye you feel at home. Everything you order comes out fresh, flavorful and the presentation is pure artistry. They make everything in-house and use sustainably-sourced produce - you can tell in every bite.

Today we ordered the Smoked Salmon Brushetta, we split a Baby Kale Caesar Salad with Bacon, Margie had the Grilled Salmon with Brisket and a Crab Tonnato, and I had the Goat Cheese Parmesan Wood Fire Pizza. It was the perfect cure for our winter doldrums. With constant snow and temperatures ranging from -7 to 30 degrees, lunch out with Margie was a warm, delightful treat. The best part of dining at Bistro Bella Vita beyond the exceptional food choices is the outstanding service. Everyone is so attentive, cheerful and kind you really feel like royalty by the time you leave. If you haven’t been to Bistro Bella Vita recently, make your reservations today.

The Grand Rapids Symphony

Grand Rapids has so much to offer when it comes to having a wonderful night out with friends, family or that special someone in your life. You don’t have to go far to have a “perfect” date night. Anneleisa and I love our date nights at the Grand Rapids Symphony. The caliber of musicians, our conductors or guest conductors and touring artists are world class and critically acclaimed. We are blessed to have such a wonderful, musical, cultural opportunity in our backyard

Marché 27 - Tartare At Its Best!

I wanted to share my love for Tartare with the family on a recent trip to Montreal and found the perfect place to bring everyone together to exploring the world of Tartares. Marché 27 delivered. It is a small trendy bar centrally located in Montreal and offers impressive menu of tartare options. You can select your protein such as Salmon, Tuna, Beef, Veal, Duck and more. Then you get to select the Tartare style of tartare you want the chef to use for the protein selection

Brunch at Butchers Unions

The Butchers union is a wonderful modern Gastropub with a meat heavy menu that is sure to please the carnivore in you.  But if you are the vegetarian shouldn’t fret, with brunch items like the roasted veggie quiche you won’t go hungry.
