BOLD - American restaurant in Kalamazoo - 6915 W Q Ave, USA

Very delicious! We did see that they're charging a small % for credit card use, which kind of raises an eyebrow when you're expecting to spend $50-100 per person but I def understand as restaurants are all still feeling the impacts post-pandemic. We called ahead and made reservations, and the front desk folks let us know our table was nearly ready so we had a short wait before we got seated (we were about 15 min early). Our waitress was very engaging, and we were seated next to a large table that did get a little loud but honestly, they were clearly excited and happy to be there so nothing that prevented us from being able to hear our own conversation. We ordered multiple small plates, cocktails, and desserts and will definitely be back again to try some of their bigger plates! Literally no complaints about anything we ate :) definitely recommend the risotto fritters though... I got full and took home leftovers, and they were devoured the next day and were still really good!! Also appreciated that the chef made his rounds and checked in on tables, without being overbearing or hovering or anything like that. It was clear that he clearly cares about the food and your experience, and that alone makes me want to come back :)

This place was so, so good. Highly recommend! I was there for an event and have food restrictions. The chef did a fantastic job of providing food that was safe for me to eat and still delicious. And everyone I was with said their food was amazing as well.

A truly remarkable dinner. Our server, Laura, was very personable and attentive. She presented our options flawlessly. The salad special was delicious. Fresh beets... Yumm! My scallops on the seafood trio were to perfection. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

We love Bold!!! Quality food and service. Not to much seasoning and not too little on their amazing dishes. It's worth every dollar we spend. Our favorite.

Food was not great . Wasabi strak tacos was not flavorless. Wasabi was not noticeable. The meat balls were mushy. The banana desert didn't taste like banana. More of a fake flavor. The drink the perfect man was gross . The server was outstanding and friendly. Chef was extremely polite. Over all I would say 6 out of 10

Enjoyed dinner at Bold. Really great food service and ambience. This was awesome but on the expensive side of the value equation thus 4 vs 5 stars. If money is not a factor then I would recommend Bold. $162 for 2. Each with one drink, appetizer, no desert but did include tip. About my food: loved my plate. Excellent presentation aroma and very hot. Flavor supported the perception. Scallops perfectly seared, crab rich and meaty, and shrimp very large and cooked perfectly. I would order again and if you should decide to drop the coin, I recommend you try.

Photos are of Small plates Whitefish and Shrimp. They are beautifully presented. Cooked perfectly. Upscale atmosphere with dedicated bussing staff as you would find on a large city. Bolder flavors would increase my rating at these prices.

Everyone was very rude. We had the unfortunate experience of meeting the executive chief. A very rude individual. If you don't want people to sit at your bar. Don't have a bar. We had high hopes for the place but cancelled our plans for a second trip with friends after the rude experiences with staff.
