Gill's Blue Crab Lounge

DOWNTOWN. The B.O.B.'s superb second-level eatery specializes in fresh, hand-selected fish and seafood prepared with regional "style and flair." The self-described "best fish house in Grand Rapids" sports an upscale atmosphere, complete with white linens, Euro-style bistro tables, and a certain Big Easy-style charm. Rough wood columns, dark hardwood floors, and weathered brick walls preserve some of the building's rustic charm. An attractive bar area, conveniently situated in the middle of the dining room, vaunts televisions, the B.O.B.'s award-winning house brews, and some of the most skilled bartenders in town. Menu items vary seasonally, but you can normally expect to choose from the likes of Scottish Salmon with a lemon and caper beurre blanc, Big Easy-style Etouffee with gator and crawfish, live Maine lobster with drawn butter, and Ameripure or Blue Point Oysters on the half shell.
