Outdoor Dining in Grand Rapids & West MI
Hands down West Michigan has some of the best outdoor restaurants!
From Grand Rapids to the Lakeshore, it will be a treat anywhere you decide to eat outside on a gorgeous Michigan summer night.
Choose from urban backdrop of downtown Grand Rapids, or find something on the lake. Some outdoor restaurants are tucked in behind the main dining area for a more private feel. Others sit you right out front where you can be part of the action.
Whatever your date night personality is, you can find a picturesque outdoor restaurant option this summer.
