It was a bit pricier than I imagined it would be, but the portions are sizable so you definitely get what you pay for. My sister got the Turkey Club and loved it.

The atmosphere was wonderful. I'd definitely go back here again if I'm on vacation near by.

The food was gourmet though the prices didn't reflect it. Happy hour was a special treat with two dollars off many drinks and all the appetizers. The service was fantastic. Krista was extremely attentive, kind, and personable. We were also visited several times by the manager who just wanted to check and make sure we were well taken care of. Yes, because of Krista, we were. Highly recommended. My only complaint is that there weren't many vegetarian options... actually no vegetarian options.

We, in fact, did not know & answered such. We were seated immediately with a run down on the gent that would be taking the stage shortly & a run down on how the blue oyster came to be... because they grow blue oyster mushrooms. Speaking of, the blue oyster mushroom app is NOT to be missed. I'd come back for that alone. As a matter of fact, I tried to today on the way home but they're closed Sun. Service was friendly & leisurely. We both ordered cocktails & both agreed that we wouldn't again. $8 was a reasonable price & they did use decent liquor in them. They just weren't really our kind of drinks, a bit too sweet & colorful for our bitter tastebuds. As I mentioned, the mushroom app was FANTASTIC & I'd highly recommend it. I opted for the Cajun Pasta - very good, creamy, cheesy sauce - tho very Norwegian spice level. I'll call it Norw-ajun vs Cajun. The hubs had the fried rice. It was a solid dish. We were overly full with the 2 dishes and an app. We agreed that next time we would order the app & 1 dish to split, no cocktails - or at least not any off the featured menu. All in all, we found pricing reasonable, food to be tasty, drinks would be a hit for many & service good but not fast. Glad we found it!

While visiting Bemidji, I was delighted to find a Vietnamese restaurant in the downtown area. I had…read moreheard from other residents of Bemidji that their pho was delicious. So I stopped in, eager to order my go to favorite food, which is a grilled pork vermicelli bowl. Sadly, it did not live up to what I had hoped it would be. But first, it's a space that's open and bright with windows overlooking Beltrami Avenue. The staff were very gracious and welcoming. There was music playing, but not overly loud where it would interrupt a conversation. Bathroom clean and basic. I ordered the vermicelli noodles salad bowl for $13.95, with an extra $1 for grilled pork. When it arrived, it looked vastly different from any vermicelli bowl salad I've had anywhere else. I tasted the pork, which was in large chunks, pale and not appearing to have been grilled. I found it bland and tough, with a large amount of fat, difficult to chew. I really could not eat any of it. The salad part had large chunks of cucumber and large shreds of lettuce, again not how it is has historically been prepared when I've eaten this before. The fish sauce to pour over was a bit thick and syrupy with a mild flavor. I did enjoy the vermicelli noodles, which is pretty much all I ate. I ordered a cup of green tea for $2.50 which was nice and just what was needed on a subzero temperature day. Overall, I left disappointed. Yet I do have to note that they specialize in pho, which I'm not a fan of. I've heard their pho is very good and there are raves about it on their Facebook page. So if you love pho, this might be the place for you.

We had a big group of 12 and we weren't sure if we needed to get a table first and then pay, or how it worked. And the servers didn't understand what we were trying to ask.
