I was honestly having a really crappy day before we got there, but as soon as we walked into Silva for the drag brunch, it turned my whole entire day around.

I ordered the funfetti pancake with a mimosa for brunch, and my friend went with the avocado toast and paloma. There was a hiccup with a hair in the avocado toast, but they handled it quickly and were happy to remake it, which I appreciated. They did mention they'd comp it for the inconvenience, but that didn't end up happening. That aside, the overall experience was fantastic and I'll definitely be back.

We were seated right away and our server was super helpful and had great recommendations. The menu is huge and everything sounded really good. They feature some things that you don't see elsewhere in town, like the Cudighi, which is a Yooper classic! Nate ordered that and I got the firecracker salmon bowl. I really enjoyed the food - the salmon bowl was a good portion and very fresh. I liked the veggies and the flavor was Asian-inspired. The Cudighi sandwich is basically a pizza sub with a spicy sausage patty that's been baked in mustard. It's unique and interesting, and Nate enjoyed it. We don't get to the NW side of town that often, but I would make a special trip to visit Roasted again. They have weekly specials and features, and a Saturday prime rib dinner!

The outside seating isn't my favorite since it's on the front sidewalk and can get a little busy, but we got there close to when they opened for a weekend brunch so I don't know if that's why the service moved a little bit slow, but we were enjoying ourselves so it was too much of a bother. I've ordered off of both their dinner and brunch menu, both were winners! Everything I've had has always been flavorful and they give very generous portions. My wife and I have learned that if we share an app, there is no way we can finish an entree as well so be prepared for leftovers. I've had several different gyros and have greatly enjoyed them all. Their fries are consistently crunchy and flavored well. OHHHHHH. I also LOVE that they serve Turkish coffee - it reminds me of my childhood and it's just so delicious. All in all I for sure recommend to anyone. I will continue eating there and sharing it with others!

Nate and I recently stopped in to try some of their new food menu and seasonal drinks. The new drink menu is Japanese themed, so we were excited since we went to Japan earlier this year. I got the alpenglow and Nate got the spicy margarita. Both were delicious and beautiful. We also got some happy hour snacks - the dijon sesame salad and the savory cream cheese wontons. Their happy hour is a great deal and I'd love to come back soon for that again. The salad was fresh and a big portion to share. The raw diced onion wasn't my favorite addition to the salad, but I did love the overall flavors. The savory cream cheese wontons were absolutely delicious - definitely very savory and crispy. I'd get these every time! The vibe inside at happy hour was pretty quiet but it can get packed as it's not a huge space. I am so glad that General Wood Shop is here and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

As a queer person, we have to protect our spaces by supporting them. The care that the staff lures into this place truly shows. The rotating menu, the affordable drink options, the ambiance and the way they truly take suggestions from their patrons. They have a new patio addition which has made the smaller spot feel larger aswell. Last fall, I came in on a whim by myself. Callie was my bartender (love), and they were deciding what to do with some Sloe Gin. Thus the "Femme Fatale" was born, there's something magical about watching a craft cocktail come together. Something even more magical about being able to NAME a cocktail at your favorite watering hole. GW is truly a beautiful addition to GR.

The service is always great, they do try to be accommodating and inside/patio area is cute. My friends enjoyed their Naan and French club sandwiches. I'll have to try the Naan next time as that seems to be a popular choice. The kale Caesar is good, I enjoyed that! I did not like my lamb gnocchi, but again personal preference, that was a special. The Kimchi Nachos were also just okay, they looked better than they tasted in my opinion. Overall I'd still recommend trying.
