Joined a group of friends for dinner, first time there. We opted for a pizza and were not impressed. Crust was dense and chewy and the Marinara sauce was overly sweet. Toppings didn't taste particularly fresh. Some in the group had pasta dishes and thought they were just okay. Service could have been better. Won't be returning.

Visited this restaurant/bar with 5 friends for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was not busy at all, only three tables occupied. Menu offered many options and the food was good and reasonably priced. I enjoyed a good chicken salad sandwich with pasta salad (pasta salad not great). A friend had the black and blue burger and mashed cauliflower and she really enjoyed her meal. The place is on the dark side inside. The server was slow to take orders and even slower to deliver beverages. We had to ask for refills which we didn't understand given that they were not busy at all. I feel this establishment has great potential if only they could get better help.

My wife surprised me with a date to Black Rock and I was very happy with her choice.Very nice place inside and out, very knowledgeable, helpful and professional staff, the steaks were excellent, though the bartender couldâve been a tad more generous. Overall a great experience, and we will return again.

My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and chose this bistro. I'm glad we did. We had a beautiful view of West Lake. We ordered crab cakes, house salads. Both were very good. My husband ordered catch of the day, which was Swordfish with asparagus and a black bean corn salsa on top. I had the Scallops. Both were good. I would highly recommend the pineapple upside down cake with coconut ice cream. We will definitely be back. I have a birthday coming up

The Taphouse has a great selection of beers on tap to choose from, including many locally sourced from around Michigan. However, if you aren't adventurous in your eating habits, you may have some difficulty finding something to eat. They make their own tater tots, which I was excited about, but quickly decided they were ok, not what I had been hoping for. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. It's a good stop for a local craft beer.

We've been to Jac's a couple of times and it will make it into our rotation of places to go. The service has been great each time. We've had the pizza both times (thin crust) and were quite happy with it. As far as the beer selection, it might be one of the best in the Kalamazoo/Portage area. We'll visit the place again!

Excellent concept (order yourself at the bar), quick responsive food service delivery (to your table, by number) and plenty of cold, craft beer made this a most enjoyable (if not surprisingly fun) evening. The food is very good (diverse menu) and the people watching and games surrounding made for a festive night.

This restaurant serves some amazing different entrees. The salmon is cooked on cherry wood and is absolutely delicious. It is a dining experience where you can be comfortable in work place attire or dress up for a special evening out. The service and atmosphere are comfortable and elegant together.

Monelli's is the perfect place to take the family, meet friends or even watch the game. We serve up some delicious cusine, but really take joy in serving some amazing brews!

Walked in and greeted and seated immediately. Ashtyn was a perfect waitress and helped my wife with her food allergy issues (gluten, soy, and dairy) and our strawberry lemonade never ran dry. I had Meat lovers pizza and my wife had grilled chicken made special for her and both were great. A big thank you to Nancy for recommending Monelli's .

Having been to the "Kalamazoo" location (Oshtemo), we thought that we'd try the original in Portage. They are pretty much the same place. They both were built from the ground up to resemble more a Chi Chi's or a Bennigans than an actually microbrewery. They appear to be popular with families with small children.
