The atmosphere here is dark but wide open. There are plenty of windows so I'm sure during daylight hours the light is excellent. The open layout makes it feel very inviting. There was some awful music coming from the stage, but oh well.

I ordered the Blushing Monk Sandwich, which is basically a chicken salad sandwich. The sandwich is fantastic. In my opinion it is easily one of the best Chicken Salad Sandwiches in Grand Rapids. Right up there with Schnitz's. The bun was of amazing quality and taste which perfectly complemented the Chicken Salad. The Gerkin pickles are also excellent. The sandwiches are large and filling. The person I was with had a spicy sandwich which he loved!

You order your food at a food counter and they give you a buzzer. The food service and bartender service was excellent.

I don't like beer and they don't have and hard ciders, so I only had a coke. My uncle enjoyed his beer though.

Overall a 4 1/2 star review. The ding was mostly the bar music and darkness. I'm going to forgo those and give it a 5. Would I return? Yes I will! Sorry no photos due to darkness and didn't want to use flash.
