The decor and ambiance is so inviting. The gentleman who handed me my food was very kind. I ordered the steak oscar which came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The steak was perfect medium rare and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. I also ordered the French onion soup which wasn't the best decision, as French onion soup is best consumed right out of the oven and not to go. But the flavor was great. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

A week on the road and it was time for some Mexican food. This place had good reviews and was…read moreclose to our hotel. It has a spartan atmosphere but the friendly and efficient staff made us forget the space. They had some of the best chips and salsa we've had in a long time. Just enough heat. I ordered a frozen raspberry margarita which was tasty and $1off during happy hour. We both got the enchiladas ranchero meal. One with chicken and one order with cheese. Rice and beans included -all for a reasonable price. (Recently we went to a Mexican restaurant back home that charged extra for these sides when ordering enchiladas.). Anyway the three enchiladas were very good. Come for the food not the decor...

We love Rapids Brewery!!! We've been here several times on our way up to the cabin and it's always…read morea hit! I'm not much of a drinker but the food here is amazing especially for a brewery. You order at the counter and get a buzzer then get your food from the counter when it's ready. There is ample outdoor seating and they are dog friendly which is always a plus! They often have live music outside on weekends as well. If you go on a weekend morning they have cinnamon rolls the size of your head and they are so lightweight and airy and delicious!!! The smash burger is a hit and the fries are to die for. The brisket mac and cheese is a must! such a good side to share. The mocktails and iced tea are so yummy. The Caesar salad was underwhelming and needed more dressing but does come with lots of chicken- this is an item I'd skip on the menu next time. We've gotten pizzas previously which are also good! Would highly recommend.

I hate having to give 2 stars, but I just did not have a great experience. I was in town for work…read moreand stopped here for dinner. I was seated at a high top in the bar area. It took probably 10 minutes for anyone to greet me. There were servers walking past me and I was so confused why no one said hi, or we will be right with you. Nothing. There was a couple of women at a table near me that must have been employees, because the servers kept going over there at chatting. I ordered the salmon with au gratin potato's and Brussel sprouts. The salmon was cooked nicely, but everything was so extremely salty that it made it difficult to enjoy. I tried scraping off as much of sauce on the salmon so I could finish it. Overall, I was really disappointed and won't be back.

I chose the tenderloin medallions stuffed with onions and mushrooms and wrapped in bacon. For sides, I had the Caesar salad, green beans, and mashed potatoes. I wish I would have had one more medallion for the cost of the meal but it was quite tasty. Husband had panko shrimp which was also quite good. Entrees come with a hot-out-of-the-oven popover. Yummm. Service was excellent. It would be great if they could create more of a dinner atmosphere. The lighting is like being in a conference room.

For us, it was busy but the service was fast and very friendly. The beer selection focuses on microbrewery's, which I prefer. I selected a German blonde beer from Bemidji. For my meal I did the walleye sandwich. It was breaded & deep fried walleye on a hoagie bun with tomato's, lettuce, red onions and tartar sauce. It was big and it hit the spot! My SO had the walleye filet and shrimp bisque. She said the bisque was the star of the show. The view over the lake makes this a special place. The loud noise from other tables detracts somewhat from that experience.

The crust was thin and crispy. I can only imagine how good it would be fresh at restaurant instead of to go. The breadsticks were thick and fresh.

Coughing (and not covering) a lot. Should not have been working. I tried the milk tea and the tapioca was terrible. I could not drink it. We each ordered bento boxes, which took a long time to arrive, and besides the soup everything was awful. The salads had browning lettuce. The rice was undercooked. My California rolls were weirdly warm. The chicken teriyaki was gross. Kid did not eat his shrimp tempura. We sat next to a window that overlooked a dirty pile of boxes. We left our food over half uneaten, and it is rare our kid does not eat all of his food and some of everyone else's. I do not recommend.
