GRNoir Wine & Jazz 35 Division Avenue South, Grand Rapids, MI 49503

"We went for the live Jazz, the food and wine were great. The atmosphere was a bit different from most live jazz we’ve been to, most people were talking instead of listening to the music, but that might have been a fluke for the night."

"Great place, and the owner is very involved in the operation. The band we saw was a talented group of musicians. Check the website for dates and make reservations. Last minute night out might not work. Seating is always near full."

"Very good sweet wine flight. The chicken and waffles, as well as the chocolate cake, were all delicious. Lost a star due to staff attitude, getting RSVP in, their Seize the Deal details, and costs. The girl who greeted me and say me was super nice and helpful. The bartender however came off as passive, many times just standing in the back and enjoying the jazz show instead of filling my water when it was empty with my meal. The girl ended up helping more even though I don't think she was a bartender? By the time my friend and I could actually get a RSVP in for right before the jazz music starts, my Seize the Deal ended up expiring. Not many spots for RSVP with the live jazz music considering the amount of seating there is ridiculously small. Then they closed 2 days due to weather when I could have easily gone with my very-modified. They will not let you use the amount you paid to get the Seize the Deal. Overall the food was great and the live music was great. Everything else could be much improved, especially considering how known they are in town. Don't waste your money on their Seize the Deal since they don't opt in for a decent amount of days for use (for example, I have one for a different company that gave ne like 5 or 6 months to use). Especially since you will already have to pay a bit just to get a small amount of food plus the $15 cover charge per person when applicable."

"Cons: $15 cover charge per person and there was no signage/we were not informed by staff, it just showed up on the bill. Pros: beautiful and clean environment. Friendly staff. Overall we likely will not return because of the cover charge/not being informed of a cover charge. Prices are a little steep -but comparable to other wine bars in the area. The cover charge put it over the top for us. Over $50 for the equivalent of two glasses and a split dessert bc of the hidden charge. I tried to get the attention of staff to ask about the charge, but I feel like they were avoiding eye contact like this is a common problem -or it could be they were busy and didn’t notice me trying to get their attention. It’s a nice place -but a little pricey and I did NOT like the hidden up charge. There was live music, but I’ve never been to a jazz bar/club where there’s been a cover charge -including bigger cities like Chicago. We would’ve gone elsewhere had we known."
