Best Cosy Restaurants in Rockford

Tried The Post Tavern for the first time and had a great experience. Server, Scott L, was awesome. Just the right amount of attention. Food was great, portions were large so you definitely worth for the cost. Great atmosphere noise level was perfect for a busy Saturday night so close to Christmas. Definitely will go back. 

Scholar is one of my top three restaurants in Grand Rapids. It truly hits all the categories you want in a nice dinner downtown. Atmosphere and decor is beautiful and moody. Food is INCREDIBLE!! Cannot recommend the Bison Short Ribs if they're still on the menu when you go. Delish cocktails and the staff is kind and. charming. Scholar is always one of my first places to recommend to friends who want a night out. The menu is pricey, for sure, but you're absolutely getting what you pay for! Worth every dollar imo.

11/10 experience. We had never eaten here before, but would love to make this a regular spot! We reserved the igloos and were provided blankets and a speaker, as well as a few space heaters. Service was outstanding! Food was also fantastic. We cannot recommend this place enough!

The atmosphere, the food and ambiance was beyond our expectations. The entire place is stunning with incredible views and every detail was well thought out. It was chic but cozy..we were able to have intimate conversation but with a lively atmotmosphere around which felt warm and inviting. The terrace was warm with heaters and made a really great place to hang out with beautiful lights, greenery and cozy seating to enjoy an after dinner drink! The food was exceptional- the scallops and tenderloin were perfect and the drinks were delicious. The only slightly suprising side was the server started out very kind and attentive, but seemed to quickly lose interest in our table. We had to flag her down for drink refils several times as she never returned to our table once the food was delivered. We would've stayed to enjoy more drinks but eventually couldn't get her attention so we went elsewhere. Other than that, it was an incredible anniversary celebration together!

Upon deciding to try a local establishment for dinner, Matchbox caught our eye. We knew parking would be an issue, especially in a densely populated neighborhood coupled with little to no parking availability near the restaurant. The walk about 1.5 blocks was invigorating and after our meal was a needed trek. The server was super friendly, but appeared to become totally overwhelmed with the amount of tables which quickly filled her station. Overall, our food was delicious. Simple but very tasty. Seating was an issue for us, as my partner was sticking out in the middle of the walkway in such a way that the distance from. the corner of the bar top and his chair only left wiggle room to pass, He felt 'inundated' with the traffic pattern. If anyone has sat in the first 3-seater row expanded from a 2 seater row on an airplane can attest to the inconvenience and interruptions that occur. Same with this particular table. It appeared to be that other tables were not affected. Would we return - probably - to see if things just might be a bit better.
