Morning Belle — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

The food was really delicious but we would never dine in again.

First, we joined the waitlist on their website. After the time exceeding the estimate on the website, my husband decided to go in to see how much longer of a wait there was. Well, there were plenty of empty tables so there wasn't one. It would appear whoever controls that simply didn't update it.

Second, the layout of the tables in here is claustrophobic af, with two rows of tables smooshed in together in the center so there's only about a foot between you and the next table over. I'm a bit funny about eating basically at the same table as strangers, so I asked for one in the corner. The hostess seemed new, when I asked her for a different table, she had to ask someone if it was okay to put us in a different section. Not a huge deal and I was grateful after the unnecessarily long wait that she said she could.

Finally, I have the same gripe with this restaurant as all restaurants converted from a warehouse without a proper ceiling - terrible sound proofing. My partner and I couldn't hear each other very well because it was so noisy in the restaurant.

But our server Emily was very nice and wonderfully attentive. The coffee was good and like I mentioned before, I really enjoyed the actual food. Not everyone would necessarily be bothered by the same little things I would be but either way, probably don't use the waitlist feature. Or, do what we plan on doing and...

After being to seemingly all of the destination brunch restaurants in Grand Rapids, Morning Belle has risen to the top of my list of favorites, and this new location holds true to the growing local brand.

This location is immaculately clean and features their trademark modern decor, making for a truly pleasant atmosphere to enjoy a meal and some coffee with family and friends.

Abby was our server; she was prompt, polite, and nailed everything we asked for on the first try. She always greeted with a smile and ensured we were taken care of throughout our time in the restaurant.

The food came out hot, tasted fresh, and burgeoned with perfectly balanced flavor that left us completely satiated for hours without heartburn or that “too-full” feeling. The portions were generous but sensible.

I highly recommend any location of Morning Belle, but give this one a shot because it’s the new kid on the block. When you’re done with your meal, shoot up Breton into EGR for a walk around Reeds...

Came in for a Sunday brunch with friends and had a lovely experience. Starting with our server Kaelyn who was friendly and attentive. I had the farmhand hash, french toast and a pomegranate lemonade. The hash was really good and I loved the addition of the roasted garlic bbq sauce. The potatoes did feel a little undercooked for me but it didn’t take away from the overall meal. The portion sizes are small for the price but it’s still worth a visit. For dessert I had the donut waffle and it was the perfect sweet treat after a savory meal. The lemon mousse definitely added a unique flavor to the treat. Would definitely recommend getting it. Tried some other things that my group got including the parfait which was good, the cinnamon roll which was a little dense/dry for me, and the banana French toast which didn’t have that caramelization I thought it would. My friend who made the reservation also noted that she didn’t get a notification or call when our...
