The atmosphere of the place gives a nice relaxed and colorful vibe, and the drinks and food menu had a stunning variety. The music was performed by Javier Hernandez and his band and was beautiful. The music here will change day to day, but on this Friday evening ours was beautiful. It included piano, trumpet, bongos, drums and bass. Staff were all attentive without being overbearing and allowed us to enjoy the music, and the food ended up being fantastic. We got deviled eggs (some of the best I've ever had) and Okonomiyaki which in this case was a variation of fried sweet potato and was delicious. Drink variety ranges from fruity cocktails to wine to N.A. beer and they had something for everyone. My only complaint of the evening was the booth we sat in was not very comfortable and it required a lot of fidgeting. Other than this 5/5 experience.

I went on a night where the Berlin donated all proceeds to the Immigrant Defense Network, and I appreciated seeing them stand with their community. The staff explained the cause, and why they participated in the no buy day. This place was worth the hype, I put off going for months, but will be going back! Next time I go, I'll need to try a snack or get a drink! I think it would really elevate the experience.

This breakfast burrito is packed full of everything you could ever want including wagyu steak (instead of the traditional bacon or sausage, so it's not greasy at all), avocado, eggs, potatoes, and cheese. It even came with a side salad and salsa to dip it in! For $15-16 it was a large portion and easily was 2 meals. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready quickly at the counter but the restaurant also looked cute inside so I would be interested in stopping in for a meal sometime too! They also have a coffee bar (pistachio latte was good) and free indoor parking for restaurant customers).

The place was packed, but a kind gentlemen moved over so we could have two seats at the classy bar. With service from the empathetic Patrick and the charming Alicia, we felt at home even though we had just moved to Minneapolis. Waterbury's menu has an array of interesting choices. My spouse and I split a Caesar Salad. She ordered the Crispy Tuna Tacos which are always fantastic. I devoured the Blackened Shrimp. The dish had a piquancy that added the perfect amount of kick. I loved it. With jazz on Wednesday evenings and unique menu specials, the Waterbury will grow sick of my face. It's a great restaurant.

The holiday pop-up was definitely worth a visit, but I don't think I would go out of my way to dine here for the normal menu. From the normal menu, the Ultimate burger was good but not outstanding. The truffle fries were crispy and the truffle flavor was not overpowering. The milkshake was creamy and not too sweet. The best bite was the house salad-- the crispy lil bacon and almond bits were a great texture contrast and the sherry vinaigrette was light. From the Red Nose Room menu, the Cranberry Spritzer mocktail was sweet and tart. I would've liked a little more dilution. The Cheese Fondue was fun for the novelty, but the flavor was a little bland and the fondue could've been more warm.

Lots of Coors flowed while I was there despite the early dinner hour. Pizza was, uh, interesting. The "Minnesota sushi" special was a thin crust, cream cheese, corned beef, dill pickle, and cheese. It was markedly less interesting than expected, the dill pickle was some nice contrast, but the corned beef didn't seem to be a notable ingredient on the palette.

We were at Wandering Leaf Brewing when we noticed someone nearby eating food that looked…read moreincredible. After asking where it was from, we found out it was Soul Lao. We ordered on the spot, and it ended up being one of the best decisions of the day. The mango sticky rice was the standout--perfectly sweet, creamy, and easily one of the best I've had. The crispy pork belly had an amazing crunch while staying tender inside, and the wings were juicy and packed with flavor. If you order either, don't skip the fish habanero sauce. It adds the perfect balance of heat, tanginess, and flavor without overpowering the food. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and it paired perfectly with a beer next door. If you're at Wandering Leaf (or anywhere nearby), do yourself a favor and order from Soul Lao. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Kitchen and cashier were extremely friendly and hospitable. Ordered - Crispy Pork Belly (4.5/5). Probably my favorite dish. It can stand on its own, was very favorable, crunchy and had a good meat to fat ratio leaving you wanting more - Duck Noodles (4/5). Flavor profile was a good balance of sweet and salty. Good but nothing memorable - OG Wings (4.5/5). Always fun to see other places try this dish. Last few years the rise of fish sauce coated wings has been a hit which is awesome since my mom's been doing it for decades. Packed a 1,2 punch. A bit salty so make sure you chase it with rice Food was by in large great and if you're expecting fusion then this is what you will find. Price is a bit steep ($25 roughly per dish) so you be checking your Apple location to figure out why you're paying NYC prices in MN ha :)
