If you can get a reservation, this place is worth it! The view is everything. Sitting at the top of the Amway Hotel, you look out over beautiful West Michigan. They have food choices you can't try everyday, like their grilled octopus. It's delicious! If you don't have a reservation, a little secret is to go and ask to sit at the bar. It's first come, first serve, and the view is impeccable!
