About Restaurant: Mertens Prime, named a Top 10 restaurant by Grand Rapids Magazine for 2 consecutive years, is a French brasserie and steakhouse set in a historic 1914-built former hotel lobby and dining room that preserves and celebrates Grand Rapids’ past. We offer a variety of French classics along with an impressive French-touched steak menu, including Chateaubriand. The Mertens cocktail list is an exact replica of the drinks and menu design from the New Hotel Mertens bar, circa 1939, and includes the same cocktails served in 1939 that are as relevant today as they were 80 years ago. Mertens Rooftop offers a full bar and a menu of appetizers. To book a reservation at Mertens Rooftop, select “Outdoor Seating”, if available.
