Sip, Savor, Sample: A firsthand preview of Restaurant Week 2018
Written by Revue Staff | Monday, 30 July 2018 15:27 |Now in its ninth year, Restaurant Week Grand Rapids has more than 60 restaurants participating in the 12-day event.

Parade of Patios: Our guide to outdoor drinking and eating this summer
Written by Kelly Brown | Wednesday, 27 June 2018 13:36 |In Michigan, “patio” is its own season. At the first sign of 65-degree weather, we open the back door, sweep off the remaining dead leaves (and sometimes snow) and break out the camp chairs.
