We had a great dinner at San Chez before attending a concert at VanAndel Arena. Super convenient spot just a couple of blocks from the venue. Food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Super friendly staff. Charming atmosphere. I look forward to going back and checking out more tapas!

We had a great tapas-style meal tonight! Our server made great suggestions, and we listened. Each dish was packed with unique flavor, and we enjoyed every bite I’d recommend this as a fun place to share a meal.

The tapas are always delicious here. We tried some tapas as well as brunch. One person had the vegetarian biscuits and gravy and enjoyed that, 2 others had the veggie and eggs, very good with the poblano and onion. The potatoes were great but the empanadas (breakfast) were room temp and would have tasted much better hot. I didn’t want to delay the rest of our group so I took them to go and heated them up at home. Personally I thought the chorizo would be better as a ground versus a sausage but that’s just preference.

Stopped in for dinner while visiting from out of town. They were debuting a new menu the night we came. We tried several of the new dishes. Everything was delicious but the acorn dish really stood out. The service was friendly and efficient as well. We really enjoyed our time here and would return!

First visit to Grand Rapids—impressed w service, drinks, and food here. Liked the atmosphere except music was a little bit loud. Loved their fresh salad w red grapes, blue cheese, and honey toasted cashews. My friend and I really loved the small plate dishes! All were great!

Living in West Michigan, especially around Grand Rapids, you know about San Chez. People tell you to eat there constantly and the prime location is always enticing every time I visit the city. After years of waiting I finally experienced the GR icon and it did not disappoint.
I made a reservation for my wife’s birthday and when we arrived at the restaurant we were seated immediately. Despite the craziness of the Saturday night dinner crowd, we quickly had our drink orders taken were perusing the offerings in no time.
I ordered their take on an old fashioned and while it was a bit too sweet for my liking, it used quality bourbon and was tasty.
The food was delicious and if you’ve ever had tapas you have to check this place out. If you’ve never had tapas( what are you waiting for?!) make this spot your introduction and you’ll be a fast fan. Standouts include the empanadas, croquetas, and the cheeseboard. The food was all hot, fresh, and wonderfully flavorful. The chicken and chorizo was tasty, but a bit basic as an idea. It’s just meat on a plate. I would’ve liked to see the dishes push the envelope a bit further creatively, but based on what I ate we will very likely be returning with friends and family to show them this delicious spot for themselves.

We had the best family celebration. My phone won’t stop ringing with all the family and friends calling to say how awesome San Chez was! Party of 33, adults of all ages, kids aged 3 months – 5 years and everyone LOVED their food and drinks. The staff was over the top attentive. Tyler helped with all the arrangements- seating, menu, bar selection etc. he was a dream to work- made everything easy for me. And when our graduation ended early they even seated us 30 minutes early. Literally can’t say enough… should be a 10 star rating !

The chef creates uniquely yummy food, but the price is high. They have a unique presentation. The food is hearty and very satisfying. The kitchen does a great job with the pork. The steak dish is a full meal. Also, the shrimp are well taken care of and slightly delightfully sweet. They offer a scrumptious chocolate peanut butter dessert.

Pricey for the portion that you get, but the taste is worth the trip!
The goat cheese appetizer paired with the baguette was so simple, yet so good. Definitely a must to start the meal.
Also recommend the peppered steak with the tortellini. It was cooked perfectly!
Least favorite was the ahi tuna. Couldn’t taste much jerk and was not a fan of the chunky carrots.
Definitely will be back to try more!

Had a great time! The food was great, service absolutely top-tier, and there are truly options for everybody!
I had multiple dishes pictured, but my absolute FAV was definitely the empanadas. I would order them all on their own to-go! They blew me away!
I suggest grabbing a few dishes, as it is a tapas restaurant, so you should come with a family style dinner mindset! (Which I personally love)
Also, I shared a video of the introduction they give when they bring over your paella/tapas dishes. He was so kind and well-spoken! I just thought it was the sweetest thing. 12/10, will be back!
