Aletitude Ale House 5404 44th Street, Grand Rapids, MI 49512

"The margarita was strong and tasty, but had so much citric acid (or something similar) that it chemically burned the inside of my mouth so bad that the skin peeled off the inside of my cheeks and the roof of my mouth. Never had that happen before! :("

"Ordered the espresso martini - tasted a bit artificial. Michigan cherry salad for dinner would have been tasty as is - I made the mistake of adding chicken to it (needed some protein to get through the flight). This was the blandest and driest chicken I’ve experienced in a long time (see photo). Additionally I asked for a glass of Malbec, waitress informed me they were out (“actually we’re out of most of our wines”) so I was recommended the red blend. When I asked what the blend is she had to go and retrieve the bottle to check - which she clearly did not read as she was holding it up to me to read the back and it never mentioned the grape varietals. Of course I told her that didn’t answer the question since they weren’t listed and she just looked at me like a deer in headlights. Figuring a blend couldn’t be that bad I got a glass anyway, it was so bad I left about half of it on the table when I left."

"Conveniently located at terminal A, clean and spacious. The smoked salmon BLT was good, a bit salty but obviously expected of the BLT. Service was quick and friendly."

"We enjoyed our time and food at Aletitude. It wasn’t incredibly busy, so service was pretty quick and the food came out fresh. Having visited over the first couple days of being open, there wasn’t yet alcohol. Located in the center of the concourse, it was a fantastic spot for people watching, and gave you the perfect chance to look over the new airport expansion. The food was hot and fresh, although lacked some of the unique qualities of your standard restaurant. While it wasn’t outrageous, it was somewhat expensive. Nothing to get overly excited about but worthy of a stop if you’re feeling hungry."

"They are just getting up and running and are waiting on the liquor license approval. But it looks like they have a decent sized tap setup for about 6-10 draft beer options. The beef sandwich was the best option available on concourse A that day and it hit the spot. Nice to have an alternative to Prospect Hill while waiting much closer to your gate. Servers were friendly and prompt."
