Rix Common House
Situated in the picturesque locale of Ada, Michigan, we take pride in presenting a distinctive rooftop restaurant experience that celebrates the fusion of daring flavors and cherished local classics, all within an atmosphere of relaxed refinement.

What's on the Table?
Our kitchen brings a fresh, chef-driven spin to American classics rooted in the Great Lakes. Inspired by Michigan’s seasons and shaped by what can be grown, gathered, raised, hunted, and caught close to home, our menus prioritize ingredients from the land and the lakes and let them speak clearly on the plate. The food is thoughtful yet approachable, refined without losing its warmth.




Why Rix?
It is built intentionally for connection, with spaces that invite you in and seating that fits the occasion. A long table for celebrations. A lively bar for spontaneous drinks. A quiet corner for conversation. Room for large groups and room for just a few. It is not built for one kind of night. It is built for all of them.
"...one of the most beautiful atmospheres among Greater Grand Rapids"

Built to Gather
Step into Rix and you'll find a space that feels rooted in place. Warm wood tones run throughout, grounding the room in something natural and enduring, while soft, verdant greens echo the landscape just beyond the windows. The effect is quietly elevated, yet approachable, the kind of space that invites you to settle in and stay a while. Modern fixtures add a considered, contemporary edge, striking a balance between refined and comforting. Nothing here feels fussy; every detail is chosen with intention, from the textures underfoot to the glow that fills the room as the day softens into evening.
