Or how about a Judy Garland flatbread (Grand Rapids was the childhood home of Judy). Shared a Brie, walnuts and honey appetizer (yes) and a real Reuben sandwich. Outside patio, but too Smokey from Canadian wildfires. Es was our prompt server and he noticed a fruit fly in my friend's wine, and brought her a new one! That's a first for me.

The brisket was one of the best briskets I have ever had. The sandwhich also has 3 sauces which were all delicious! I cannot stress enough how good this sandwhich was. Others at my table also got the meatloaf sandwhich and the pork belly sandwhich. They both really enjoyed their sandwiches as well! Would recommend !

Super cute wine bistro located in historic downtown Park Rapids. They have a light menu, ranging…read morefrom brunch options, cheese boards, to sandwiches and soups. We just stopped in to check it out and got a round of drinks. They only have a wine and beer license - so no hard alcohol - so some options are unique, like a beer bloody and a wine bloody. I tried the beer bloody and it wasn't bad! I still prefer a bloody with vodka, but was glad to try something new and creative. Tasted like a more watered down V8 (the beer was Busch lite, which could have been why). We talked to the owner while there and she was super friendly. Can't wait to go back for food and events!

The space has a cute gift shop toward the back, which you definitely need to check out! The employees were SO nice and helpful! Any questions we had, they had an upbeat answer for us. They were very fun to talk to! We didn't get any food, but they have a great menu complete with a couple boards (charcuterie, brunch) and several other snacky options. Everything sounded so good and the prices were really fair! I ended up getting a mimosa flight, which was delicious!

This was supposed to be a quick stop for us but we ended up spending hours chatting and playing board games with Betty! Brownie points to them for have a winery puppy. 15/10 for puppy kisses at DeCorsa! We can't wait to go back and we left feeling like we hung out with a couple of friends! It was a huge bonus that their wine was yumm!!

I had such a unique experience at this winery that it was hard to know what to rate it. There were…read moresix of us that scheduled an appointment to visit on the day of New Year's Eve. When we arrived the place looked closed and we weren't sure what to make of it. When we came into the space it was very dark and it remained dark the entire time we were there which I thought was odd. But the winery is powered by solar panels which I thought was cool! But I swear it must've been 50 degrees inside the building because half of us were freezing. It also looked like a lot of the decorations were incredibly old and outdated and hadn't been dusted in a long time. The woman that helped to service us was very nice and personable and I thought we had a good time talking to her and her husband. They told us a lot about the winery and how the community helps to keep it running. I've never been to such a small winery like this one so it was nice to hear how they keep it running! The wine: the reason why im not giving this a lower star rating is because of how good the wines and prices were. For less than ten dollars you can sample 5 wines and they let us pair up and share tastings so we could try them all! I loved each wine and they all tasted unlike any other wines I've ever tasted. Very fruity and fragrant and delicious. :) Overall I think if the owners added more lights and cleaned up the decorations this place could easily jump from a 3 to a 4!

I have had really good experiences with the Pork, Duck, Salmon, and Walleye. The only cons for me are the ribs (which are done the way they have always have and I just don't like the style, it's too much like ham for me) and the Ribeye (I'm not a fan of the blackening and there is usually too much fat for me). Beyond those two, you should come here for the best Supper Club vibe up here. Order a Martini or Manhattan up (you get the mixer and extra drink). Stay for a Brandy Alexander or other ice cream drink.

There should be a portrait on the left wall which opens to another room. That room is a decoy, a nonfunctioning bathroom. There's a black door to enter to the secret bar. Beautiful bar and cozy seating. The service was amazing, my server was preparing a cocktail with a smoke bubble gun and we were curious about it. She brought it over to show us.

Jeanne and her entire staff deserve so much credit, and I don't think I can say enough good things about them. The food is fantastic, the people are amazing. If you're in Cross Lake, you owe it to yourself to dine at Maucieri's!
