How have I missed this place for almost 2 years?!? Great vibe, seasonal wine list, awesome craft cocktails, spectacular farm to table menu! We did the wine and small bite pairing: 10/10 recommend! The best part of the evening was the service. Hands. Downs. Carolina was our server and she made us feel at home and welcome, especially as first timers. She knew the menu in and out and was able to make recommendations for food and cocktails/wine together, which is, of course, what I LOVE!! Even though it was a slower night (maybe 6 tables total) Carolina was able to bring a vibrancy to the dinner that elevated it, making it feel like a Friday girls night! 12/10 recommend Caroline!
Caroline also made fabulous menu recommendations, especially the dessert drink...she recommended the Kalamazoo something dessert drink (I'm so sorry I cannot remember the full name). This drink was like a creamy espresso martini, absolute chef's kiss! The one tiny criticism I have is the OTHER dessert cocktail was a major miss. The flavors are off and it tastes a bit chemically. Again, NOT MAJOR, but I know their people can make something really great.
I would recommend this place 100 times over! I'm so happy to have found this gem for the upcoming summer, and beyond!
Excellent service, rotating menu of fine dining, craft beers and ciders/ craft mixed drinks. Salmon was on point. Also the pumpkin cheesecake with this awesome rum raisin sauce!
Very fine dining, excellent staff, attention to details, great wine and whiskey selection, indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is a little confusing and they run out of menu items a bit early, but they have some of the smoothest Crème Brûlée desserts I've ever had. I'll definitely be back again.
Looking for somewhere to go in Kalamazoo where fine dinning is art. Are you looking for that wow factor on your first date and want to dress to impress. Look no futher....Elysium delivers all that and more. While I visit during the year, I make it a special day every year whenever it is restaurant week, to try out the new dishes their chefs have whipped up. I would highly recommend making this one of top eating spots.
The wonderful chef at Elysium Restaurant keeps you coming back with interest in what he is creating for the next menu! Tonight, I had a chicken and Italian sausage wrapped with the delicate skin of chicken and seasoned wonderfully bedding atop of ditalini and a delicate Italian sauce then topped with Parmigiana for a fantastic combination of flavor!
Was told the menu changes daily, so who knows what they'll have tomorrow! But we had a few drinks (aperol spritz with the homemade orange liquor was the winner, the others were a bit bitter for me and a bit muted in flavor, but my partner really enjoyed them), the tri tip steak with grilled pineapple was fantastic (rice was slightly under cooked), and the grilled chicken with cavatappi was like an elevated adult Mac and cheese in the best possible way!! The banana foster tiramisu was phenomenal...
And above all else, the service was fantastic and the environment was brilliant. They are all super attentive and the servers were truly excellent!!
Every dish we tried was perfectly prepared. The service was amazing (Ivy is an amazing waitress and has a sparkling personality) the manager on duty was very accomodating.. the atmosphere was comfortable. We will be back soon!
We had a great meal with wonderful service. Food is fresh and delicious. Great flavor combinations and dishes you won't have anywhere else! Perfect for a date night or just enjoying a great meal.
We had dinner reservations for our anniversary. When we arrived, they seated us right away. Dinner was amazing. The food tasted great! Our server, Emily, was very friendly and helpful. The manager also came over and introduced himself and wished us a
The beans are divine and exquisite. Lovey beans and I love jack and his personality. He came up to me and put beans right down my good old throat. I orders the bean sock delight. Very well done. Made me gas up the old toilet but totally worth the pai
Great little shop. Limited seating but it doesnât matter because the food is worth it. Best olive burger I have ever had. The fries are crispy and flavorful. I had the Parmesan truffle fries with garlic aioli. Husband had the Lake Burger with Board

I had a party there in their outdoor heated tent for my kids birthdays and Kelly was so easy to work with. Food was delicious, and it was so nice to order and have drinks and food brought out to the tent so we didn't have to miss the party. The kids
Our waitress was super friendly and informative. I got the fish and chips and it was some of the best I've ever had. The batter on the fish was just right and the fries were crispy. They also had a grilled and salted lemon to go with the fish and it
After having all my teeth pulled and not really wanting to stick with traditional jello pudding mashed potato type diet I found this place. Still just as easy to eat, but 1000x better. I ordered the cheeseburger potato and it was beyond what I expect
Great spot. Food and drinks were delicious. Nice and open. The old fashioned was super tasty with the candied bacon. Had a kids menu and plenty of space to spread out. Our kids were a little wild and needed to get some energy out so the open layout w
Love this place! We don't get down that way very often, so it is nice to have a place as a goto when we do. The food was very good, drinks are well thought out with great execution. The prices were way cheaper than expected for sure! Great job
Such great coaches that make sure you continue to learn and also use correct form while also challenging you. Great place for new and experienced bjj and mma enthusiasts alike.

Stayed here for a quick trip to Kalamazoo last week. First off, the kindness of Dana was amazing. She stayed up to make sure we were greeted when we arrived (even after 10pm). The grounds were kept and quaint. The rooms were so cute and the bed was
A hidden gem. Easy trail around a small wetland through a beautiful forest with a few old growth trees. We saw deer casually walking around, ducks on the water, birds, and frogs. A few areas cleared up to water for easy access to view the aquatic lif
We had a great time. The atmosphere is very laid back with great music. The drinks are creative riffs on classics. I loved the âNo More Dramaâ and the appetizer we tried (Flatbread w/ Bacon & Greens) was tasty. Food menu is small. The bar focuses
I loved everything about this place. The service was outstanding! She was so friendly, helpful, and patient. She clearly loves coming to work every day and it shows! The chocolates are little works of art that look almost too good to eat. The hand pa

This was SO good and Iâm already dreaming of what Iâll order next week. Everything was made fresh to order, and while the jerk chicken and collard greens were delicious, the real stand out was the hush puppies. I donât even usually like hush pu
The absolute best cocktail bar I've ever been to, full stop. ALL the staff is knowledgeable about their cocktails, warm and welcoming, and willing to answer the many questions I have about why they used particular ingredients to create their drinks.
