Best Czech Restaurant Grand Rapids Near Me

Rebecca Irby (PEAC Institute): Incredible food and drinks! The bar has such a wide and deep liquor selection, especially the whiskeys, but also A LOT of great beers. I highly recommend! And get there on the earlier side, it gets busy quick - they open at 4.

Aaron LePoire: I wanted to like this more with all of the stellar reviews I've heard, but I came away disappointed. The atmosphere and service were great, as well as the cocktails, but the food overall was disappointing. We found multiple hairs in our food and found it to be underwhelming and slightly under seasoned. It was very busy, they do have a wait list but no reservations and it gets very loud so don't expect an intimate experience.Parking: Street parking and paid lots available nearby.

John Manilla: Very nice dinner and drinks. Waygu steak was excellent! Vibrant atmosphere, a bit loud, but pleasant. Very warm and friendly service.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Bourbon Apple Crisp …More

Eric Ondersma: Reminder than even the restaurants that seem nice have an ugly underside. Employees in full view out back smoking, swearing about customers. Look how fifthly it is too. If they don't care there what else don't they care about? Just asking questions.

Paul Nikandrou: One of my favorite spots in town.

Jenn M: I loved the open environment and feeling the breeze from outside! (It still wasn't stifling which is a plus.) The ribeye sandwich was amazing and I've been craving it every day since!Pretty impressive burboun list as well!Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Bourbon Apple Crisp …More

Jim Miars: Had a great experience there, place is super busy, but our foursome got treated great. Try the Brussel Sprouts, amazing!It would be easy for a place like this, due to their high foot traffic location, to be lazy with regard to food and/or service. Not this place! I have been there since and sat in a different spot with picky orderers/eaters- again, treated wonderfully, food was great. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. There is often a wait, so prepare for that. We had cocktails out on the street while waiting, it was great. We were a little hungover the next day, lol.

Tisha DeGiulio: Yuuuuuum. Such an amazing experience. Everything was so tasty, the pork belly was incredible. Ricotta incredible. Burger was voted best burger in GR by the model in the picture. Our waiter, Alex, was super knowledgeable about the food & drinks which made our first time here so comfortable. He was attentive, gave great recommendations, and so kind! Will be back soon, thank you!!

Nick Annese: Great selection of bourbon and other cocktails. In my opinion the food, while good, is nothing exceptional and not worth the price tag.

Joy Shin: their dessert is AMAZING ! atmosphere & service was good too but the cake had me fall in love with this place🤤

Patrick Martin: Appetizers were good service was very good...unfortunately the main courses were not great and at the prices they charge you would think the wouldn't OVER cook everything..Food: 2/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Courtney Leeper: We really enjoyed our dinner at Butcher's Union. They don't take reservations, but have a online waitlist you can join, we went on a Wednesday night and it was packed so there we had a 30 min wait for 4, but we all agreed it was well worth the wait. Our server was fantastic, and we had a drink at the bar before being seated and staff at the bar was wonderful. Great beer and cocktail selection, not a huge menu but we all got something different and enjoyed it. The inside is beautiful and so unique it made for a great dinning experience. Would definitely recommend trying this place!!

Joseph Lange: Thanks Emma for your great service‼️The food was delicious 👍

Jennifer S: First time coming here and I will be coming back. I got the strawberry mojitos which was so good and refreshing! I had the bolognese and my fiancé got the meatloaf. This meal was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Such amazing dishes and service.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

B Siggers: I ordered the O.G. I normally get it from BOSNA Express. Ordered from Zivio maybe 3 times total since it opened because it’s en route to my place of employment. I was so excited to eat my lunch. Opened the styrofoam container and the first bite almost ruined it for me. I thought nah, took another bite, third bite.. SAME THING!!! Normally they are so meaty and full of vegetables. Today it tasted as though I ordered at Tomato and Onion Gyro. What happened to the meat? Is this what I now have to look forward to. I wasted $33. I’m so very disappointed.

Tim Kennedy: One of our favorite local spots. The quality of food and service you get here will always be above and beyond. We came for some light fare and a drink and it hit the spot! The wife and I split the nachos; it was just enough food with an enormous amount of flavor. The old fashioned here was “exactly as an old fashioned should be”. Thank you Zivio!

Tammy Parney (EchoPond): Great food, great staff, nice atmosphere, and portion sizes were huge. Highly recommend. One of the best Mediterranean places in town.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Garlic Gyro, Gyros, The Vegan Gyro, Vegan Gyro …More

Joy Shin: you need to try their fries

Jon Harrison: We went out early on a Friday night and we’re able to get seated at Zivio which was a new restaurant to us; by the time we left there was a line waiting to get seated and this was well deserved. We were very pleased with dinner; we had gyros and the taco trio. The bread was very good as well. We will definitely go back as the menu looked full of other great choices.

Roselyn Charles-Maher: Unfortunately, I will not be returning to Zivio. Tonight, we had single moms and married moms, widows, teachers, friends. We had a great dinner at Winchester and headed to Zivio for a cocktail. It was busy so we found stools. We had two of us standing behind the stools. A waitstaff asked us if we could "compress" as we were in the way of servers running food. We were apologetic and did our best not to be in the way. We ordered drinks, paid for them, and continued to giggle and enjoy the night. Before we knew it, a bartender told us that customers were complaining about us being in the way. He also told us he voided our drinks. And then he walked away. It was shameful as the restaurant was staring at us. We had no idea what we had done wrong.This same group of women had come before, ordering the peach Sangria and enjoying time out of our homes. We will not be returning and will ensure that others know of this experience. We didn't deserve it.

Doug Wanoy: Food and service was excellent! When I visited, it was crowded and I had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated at a table, and the food took about 45 minutes from order to being served. However, my server was very attentive and made sure my drinks were topped off, and the manager made sure to be transparent about when my food would be ready. I overheard the kitchen manager being verbally abusive to the wait staff over how many orders they were getting. I have a hard time giving 5 stars to a place that treats their employees this way and the long wait time for the food also dings the score. Would definitely recommend Zivio for take-out as their food is excellent!

Stevie Wunder: Everything was so good. Food and service. Will definitely revisit! The sexy fries were insanely good!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Sarah Sting: If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. I was blown away by how delicious it was. We got feta dip appetizer which even my toddler loved. I got a vegetarian platter and my husband got the lamb dip, both were absolutely amazing. Our server was also very friendly. 100% would eat here again.

Joshua Marcotte: Straight up the best Euro I've ever had in my life

Brian L: Decided to treat ourselves to a dinner out this evening. Stopped by Zivio and was immediately seated. Started with a few drinks. We had the Mediterranean Chicken Kabob and Chicken Shawarma. Both dishes were very tasty and filling. We had the Nutella Cheesecake for dessert, highly recommended! The smoothest/creamiest cheesecake we’ve ever had! Shout out to our server Lucas for the suggestion! Had great service from Lucas too, thank you for a great evening! 😃

Charity Lytle: Everything on the menu looked amazing so it was hard to decide! I got the Fiery Feta with their homemade "improbable" gyro meat which was very much like typical gyro meat. I think the bread is made in house too. Fries are some of the best I've had in town (extra crispy in a good way) They had a high chair and booster seat available for kiddos and immediate seating at 4:30 for us old folks ;) I did not expect the price point either - very reasonable. Exceptional service and experience all around! Definitely coming back to try more items off the menu or might do take-out.Vegetarian options: Protein alternates were amazing and delicious!Kid-friendliness: Booster seats, high chairs, server brought a plastic water cup with straw to the table without being asked!Parking: Street parking available and lot across the streetDietary restrictions: GF options for wraps rather than breads, option for different protein options, dairy etc
