Description

History

Established in 1998.

The Watermark Grille

Un-​Chain yourself and experience a really good meal in a great setting.

Watermark Country Club has been unique over these last 9 years in that it has been the only private club to have an open to the public restaurant and banquet facility. The Watermark Grille has a menu of items to please everyone whether you love wood-​fired pizzas made with homemade dough, flame grilled Alaskan salmon or gourmet salads with grilled chicken, steak or fried calamari. There’s even a rumor that the Grille’s burger is the best in town. The relaxing atmosphere, friendly service and well prepared food make the Grille a restaurant that meets the needs of all diners.

The main dining room is a bit more formal but still feels relaxing to be in. It has a large open area with very high ceilings and hanging chandeliers but also has more intimate booth seating and one special table in front of the fireplace. The lounge and bar is a more laid back area that features family friendly large table

East Grand Rapids, MI
Great food, great service! The salads are truly exceptional and the other fare is excellent as well.
This is a great place for a special occasion or just a nice evening out.

Outstanding food and ambiance (cozy fireplace). I had the arctic Char over a sweet potato purée with brussel sprouts and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this place.

This is definitely a convenient place if you are in the area. Great for meetings because it usually pleases most people.
The service is usually pretty good and the drinks are good as well.
I have had some dishes that have wowed me and others that made me wish I had stuck with my gut and ordered what I knew was great. The chicken risotto is awesome! Amazing flavors — bacon, Brussels sprouts, tender chicken and amazing risotto.
Some of the wraps are also pretty good lunch options. The salads leave a little bit to be desired– they look very tasty all be it not very healthy but then when they come out they taste just ok.
Overall a pretty good option if you are on this side of town– added bonus is that the ambience is great. Plenty of parking.

I eat here weekly, and I like it.
Food: good. Not many dishes require anything too technical from the kitchen, but dishes that do are executed pretty well in my experience. Great burgers, salads, pasta dishes, and pretty good fish. Good portions. Decent beer and bottled wine selection.
Décor: Really good. Great bar area, interesting dining room, spectacular outside eating with heaters, etc. Not intimate dining, can get loud-​ish.
Service: Usually pretty good, can be hit and miss when busy.
Prices: Decent, actually. Check menu online before going, you can judge.
I can say that this is a very easy place to eat. That may sound like a strange thing to say but I think it is why I eat there a lot – it is just easy food to like, not too costly, good enough service, has great indoor and outdoor seating and we can get out of there fairly quickly. Not the best food in town but I like it a lot, and I feel it is a good value.

Went to Cork with a group of 10 from my work earlier this week. Wait staff was good, but not amazing, my 2nd glass of wine ended up being what the person next to me had ordered. Thankfully, it was decent wine so I didn’t complain. We ordered the lettuce wraps and hummus for apps and I got the apple pork chop for dinner. Lettuce wraps were awesome, hummus was good but chips were very salty, and the pork was pretty good. Overall, I guess I just wanted more of something here…

We dined at Cork tonight. Our reservation was suppose to be for Vintage so we could use a coupon the restaurant had mailed out. The hostesses seated us on the side for Cork and we weren’t allowed to use the coupon even though we showed the hostess the coupon. The tapas app was good. When the salad came out my sons had a piece of broken plate in it. After informing the manager about the sharp piece of broken plate being almost swallowed by my son the manager put us in charge of determining what our compensation should be. The steak was cooked very well and well seasoned, the walleye was excellent, the beef stroganoff was good but the salmon pasta was tasteless. All in all it was not the greatest experience. We did look at the Vintage menu and it looks very good so we may give it a try

We recently had our first dinner at Cork in Grand Rapids. We called last minute, same day, for reservations and were unable to book anything. The very helpful hostess suggested we do ‘call ahead’ and they would do what they could to accomodate. We requested 7:30 p.m. Upon arrival, they knew who we were and we were seated right on time.
Our waitress was good, engaging and provided some very good drink recommendations. As for food, they were accomodating to a special request and the quality and presentation was very, very good.
Much like the Fire Rock and Gravity, this restaurant group is consistently good. Quality from top to bottom. Decent value, great atmosphere. We will go back.

Ate here for the first time for the Easter buffet. Great selection of food, staff was very attentive and very prompt.

It took cork a bit to adjust to a more sophisticated menu and wine list. Well worth the wait. They have worked out the kinks and seem to have their ducks in a row. I’ve had the whitefish dip to the pizzas and have not been disappointed even when sometimes things are not consistent. In fact I’m disappointed that one of their ‘goofs’ is not on the menu.

First off, if I could give a 3.5 stars I would. The atmosphere was nice and we were seated immediately with tables open the whole time we were there on a Saturday night (not always a good sign). We started with the calamari which was lightly breaded, seasoned with salt and pepper with cocktail dipping sauce. It was ok, but I’ve had better. I had the southwest chicken, and unfortunately the black bean purée was the best thing on the plate. My wife’s mahi mahi was good but a little over cooked. The server, Avi, must be new because he struggled with 4 tables and had 2 meals returned to the kitchen from other tables for being wrong. Overall, it was a nice place but for the price I would expect better.

The carbonara was good. I wish the Brussel sprouts had been sautéed a little before tossing them in the dish but the pasta and sauce were wonderful and the pork belly was very flavorful. The blistered tomatoes made the dish

I ate there tonight and was very disappointed, the restaurant is like a bar now very loud their signature burger (which use to be the bomb) should be called bacon cheese burger nothing fancy. Definitely won’t be coming back too soon.

Good job Chef Eric! Love the new heavy seafood menu. Is this Leo’s or Charleys? Best halibut I have ever had. Always a good experience. The Grille has something new for everyone even non seafood lovers. Try the woodfired pizza. Yum. Nice servers too.

Grossly underrated. Perhaps it isn’t well known because it’s located at a private country club in Ada area and also hidden far back from the main street, Cascade Rd. But the restaurant is open to the public and it’s one of the best restaurants in Grand Rapids area in my opinion. The menu is constantly evolving to reflect the seasonal food and to keep it interesting and lively. The daily specials are awesome as well. The day I was dining, they had shark as the special. I highly recommend some of their comfort food like meatloaf with mashed potatoes. And of course, don’t forget about their house-​made desserts. My favorite is the more than generous portion of Tiramisu. Foodies of Grand Rapids are missing out if they haven’t experience dining at this hidden gem yet.

Had the grilled grouper which was perfectly cooked, although a touch bland. The whitefish dip appetizer was great, My dining mate’s petite filet w/​mushroom risotto received high marks.
I’m pretty sure their items aren’t entirely made to order because we got our food really fast. Like too fast. (i know that’s a ridiculous complaint)
Still enjoyed it no matter what
