MDRD Restaurant

Amway Grand

MDRD Restaurant at Amway Grand is the Spanish-inspired jewel atop Grand Rapids’ premier historic hotel.⁣
⁣
Gensler set out to create an energetic, artful experience that offers design and dishes one would expect in a major city while also providing an accessible, decidedly unstuffy environment where locals can relax and enjoy good food and good company. ⁣
⁣
The fresh design approach allows visitors to select from a variety of experiences depending on the group or occasion. The social lounge near the entry invites diners to pop in for small bites and cocktails, enjoying a cosy atmosphere and a stunning vantage point to enjoy the sunset. ⁣
⁣
Beyond the lounge is the bar, which connects the lounge to the dining area. Plush niches and elongated barstools for two complete space, offering the ideal setting for date night, while a long banquette allows for casual dining. Situated along the new glass facade, space is designed with a unique terraced seating element, offering city and river views for all who visit Grand Rapids’ restaurant in the sky. ⁣
