MDRD

On the 27th floor of downtown Grand Rapids, MDRD runs a Spanish-leaning small-plates menu with dishes like Pulpo (octopus), Patatas Bravas, and Wagyu. The cocktail program is a consistent standout, and the lemon mousse draws repeat mentions. Pay extra for a window table; the view is the room's best argument, and the corner seats near the hostess stand get heavy foot traffic.
