FLAT RIVER GRILL

In 1981, John's son, Gregory Gilmore, entered into the fold at the age of twenty-three. Gregorgy had previously studied hospitality management at Davenport and philosophy at The University of Oregon, before deciding to accept a management position at The Thornapple. Shortly thereafter, The Thornapple won several prestigious awards, including Grand Rapids Magazine's coveted "Restaurant Of The Year Award." Over the next three decades, the father and son duo embarked on a series of new ventures that would define The Gilmore Collection as it is known today... The Kirby Hotel, currently The Kirby House (Grand Haven, Michigan), was purchased and restored in 1989. Formerly The Gildner Hotel, the building was originally built in 1873 on the plot where the first permanent home in Grand Haven once stood. Today The Kirby House is heavily trafficked, especially in the summer months during Grand Haven's heaviest tourism season... Hours of operation, location and reservation information for Flat..
