We came in early on a Saturday evening with a party of five. Our server’s name was Andrew, and it was his second night on his own – well-deserved promotion Andrew! We loved your food recommendations, you kept our waters full even though the bottles were on the tables for us, and we could tell you absolutely loved working for Principle, which made our experience that much more enjoyable. We ordered every appetizer except for the confit duck wings (not for any reason other than we had to pace ourselves) and we devoured each dish like children at an ice cream shop. And we almost ordered a round two of the same appetizers, but didn’t want to seem too gluttonous. Looking back we probably should have. Oh well – next time! We had the meatloaf, the roast chicken, the flank steak, the crab cakes and the pork chop. We also ordered the pear risotto (absolutely unique and I LOVED this dish) and the broccoli. Everything was so amazing! Chef Drew did not miss at all. The salted caramel cheesecake was fluffy (yes, I said fluffy) and oh so good! We also had the vanilla and passion fruit sorbetto (I mixed the flavors) and the chocolate pudding. If you like dark chocolate and tart raspberries, that one is for you. The ambiance was cozy and clean. We can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu items!

This place was an absolute gem I will definitely be back. Found it with coworkers while on work travel. I had the shrimp and the spice was fantastic, the salad was well-balanced and the cheesecake was so good I couldn't even get a photo! Chill vibes, high ceilings, craft cocktails, etc. Perfect way to unwind after work

One of the best dining experiences I've had downtown kzoo. The drinks were amazing and well thought out. The food, let me tell you about the food, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Only got photos of the apps as once the entrees hit our table we had no time for games.
