Started with a few glasses of wine and a beer, all on point. Then came the food. The mussels were really original. They came in an Italian sausage sauce, thicker than your typical white wine broth, unlike anything I've ever had with mussels before. A little salty, but the mussels themselves were good quality and it came with bread for dipping. For the main, I had the rigatoni with chicken, which had a somewhat similar sauce with great flavors. Both dishes showed some real creativity in the kitchen. But what really sets R Wine Bar & Kitchen apart is the environment. This place has a vibe. I ended up meeting some cool people traveling through from Tennessee and had some of the best conversations I've had at a bar. Really friendly people all around. That kind of atmosphere can't be manufactured. The Verdict: R Wine Bar & Kitchen is the real deal. Great food, great wine, great service from Samantha and Jaxson, and an environment that turns strangers into friends. If you're in Sioux Falls, try it out. Five stars, absolutely worth it.

Ethan was an incredible bartender and made an exquisite dirty martini. Seriously, if you love a good dirty martini, don't skip it. The fries were off the hook, and the atmosphere struck the perfect balance of classy, comfortable, and fun. One of the highlights of the evening was learning about the building's history and hearing about the upcoming live music that performs downstairs in the cozy speakeasy. It's definitely a reason to come back again. And a huge shoutout to Leo, the waiter, he is the bomb! Friendly, attentive, personable, and he genuinely made us feel welcome. If you're looking for amazing cocktails, great food, outstanding service, and a place with character, Myrtle's is a must-visit. As a newcomer to Sioux Falls, this is exactly the kind of local gem I was hoping to find. I'll definitely be back!

Had an okay time at Brix. It was my first visit, and to be honest, I don't see myself coming back…read more I arrived on a Wednesday around 5 p.m., and it was surprisingly busy, which initially had me excited. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. The interior was nicely decorated with a good variety of seating. I grabbed a spot on the couches, but it took a very long time to get any service. Honestly, the service was awful. It really felt like they needed at least two servers on the floor to keep up. We were ignored for quite a while, so I eventually got up and asked for a menu at the bar. When we were finally ready to order, it took just as long to get the drink as it did to get someone's attention. I'm not sure if the bartender was new or overwhelmed, but it wasn't a great experience. On the plus side, the wine list was impressive. I had a Riesling, which was delicious, you can't really go wrong with wine. We ordered a small margherita pizza, and when it arrived, it was cold, heat-lamp for a while sitting cold. Our server (Ben, I think?) never checked in after dropping it off, and honestly, it didn't even feel worth mentioning at that point. We ate and left soon after. It may have just been an off night, but the service was bad enough that I'm not in a rush to give it another try.

Sure, they are brand new and are still getting their feet underneath them (like every single new place on earth), but this place has all the makings of a classy wine bar. The aesthetic is beautiful, the people are excellent, the food was delicious, and the wine flights were expertly arranged. I know... it isn't expected to find a kick ass tapas bar nested in this side of town in a wellness facility of all places... but hear me out!! If you would like a quaint, tucked away evening with exquisite service and an escape from the standard bustling ubiquitous sports bar out here... this is the place. Yes, it may be off the beaten path, but it is an undiscovered oasis of fresh modern elegance in this part of Sioux Falls. You could, absolutely, take your friends to someplace like Tinners... but, what if you actually wanted some atmosphere... and actually liked your friends?

The building itself is rather impressive from the outside, and the parking lot was packed. We figured that many cars couldn't all be wrong, so we pulled in and decided to give it a try. And overall, we weren't disappointed. Service was quick and efficient, especially considering how busy the restaurant appeared to be. Our food came out promptly, everything was prepared properly, and we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The first impression from the chips and salsa wasn't particularly promising, though. Neither really stood out to us. The chips had that packaged, straight-from-the-bag quality, and the salsa didn't have much character either. Not terrible, just very ordinary. Fortunately, the actual meal was better. My husband ordered the steak, cooked well done the way he likes it, and he was happy with it. The steak was prepared correctly and had good flavor, although overall we found the seasoning here a little more subdued than we normally prefer with Mexican food. I had the burrito and a taco. The burrito wasn't one of those enormous, overflowing creations that I've become accustomed to at some Mexican restaurants, and when it first arrived I wondered whether it would be enough. It was. It turned out to be deceptively filling and quite good, although again I would have welcomed a little more seasoning and personality. The taco was fine--nothing particularly memorable, but perfectly enjoyable alongside everything else. That's probably how I would describe our meal as a whole. Nothing really knocked us off our chairs, but nothing gave us reason to complain either. The food was well prepared, the service was speedy, and we left comfortably full and satisfied. Considering this wasn't even a planned stop and we basically chose it because we were hungry and saw a packed parking lot, it turned out to be a pretty good decision. Would we stop again if we were passing through Brandon and hungry? Yes, I think we would.
