East Grand Rapids, Michigan
When John Gilmore purchased Rose's On Reeds Lake in 1992, the Gilmore family inherited far more than a well established restaurant in a great location. Rose's came with almost a century's worth of tradition, hospitality and community goodwill. The restaurant is the last remaining building from the Romona Park era – arguably the most colorful chapter in East Grand Rapid's history (click here to learn more about the history of Rose's). For many West Michiganders, Rose's holds significant sentimental value. Whether the restaurant was host to a special memory or provided the back drop for a tall tale shared by the family raconteur, many have special memories of time spent at Rose's. Of course, we're happy to take a little bit of the credit. It's been a pleasure to bring the Gilmore brand of dining and hospitality to this storied East Grand Rapids establishment. The menu has gone through many transformations over the years, but at its core, remains a pleasant fusion of Mediterranean, Italian and American cuisines. We've proudly continued a few time-honored traditions along the way–most notably Bub Rose's burger and Rose's legendary caramel corn. There's a peaceful atmosphere on the patio and four-season deck with fantastic views of Waterfront Park, the Grand Rapids Yacht Club and Rose's own private marina. On any given day guests at Rose's can expect to see the lake dotted with sailboats, fishermen or perhaps a family of ducks. There is a genuine warmth here. We've found that the East Grand Rapids community shares in our passion for exceptional dining and the continued legacy of Rose's. Enjoy great food. Make new memories. Share in the story.
