Dutch baby with smoked trout
Katy I.

While the brunch experience has always been great, the dinner experience leaves something to be desired. The staff are always wonderful and they do full service for dinner (instead of order at the front for brunch). We were going to see a play at Mixed Blood and they were wonderfully accommodating so we could get to the show on time. My partner had the lamb special and they liked it. I got the burrata pasta dish and was disappointed. It didn't have a lot of flavor and didn't really have a sauce, though there was some tomato in it. It tasted like watery pasta with burrata on it. We will definitely return for brunch, but I'm not sure if we will be back for dinner. Maybe I just picked the wrong dish. The ambiance is still lovely no matter the time of day.

Lovely spot for breakfast/brunch! Met a friend for an early breakfast on a Tuesday. The food is incredible! I had the steak and eggs and would go back to have it again for sure! The space is clean and cute. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you - which is perfect for both dine in and takeout/coffee to go. Our server was a little forgetful, but she was the only one working.

Bucatini

Surprised it has taken me this long to visit, but it has been hard to get over the Birchwood closing (rip). Had a lovely dinner with the Cashbars (and Atticus). Sat out on the patio and didn't go inside so I'm not sure about indoor ambiance, but the patio is so nice. Love the flowers all over. Our server was cutie and food came out pretty quickly. Ellie and I split the grilled ruby and the maitake tartine. Both were good. I liked the blush vinaigrette on the salad a lot. Was suprised how much I liked the grilled ruby, because I'm not normally much of a beet person, but with the avocado and all the pickled things it was very good. Lowkey I wolfed the maitake tartine down so fast I cannot remember a single thing about its taste. I was so hungry. Tried a little of the bucatini and thought it was a little bland.

Fish Fry
Brian S.

Brought the kids here for dinner last night. The experience was mostly good, with one big caveat (see below). The service was great; the server helped us find a place to sit that would be best for two kids, she was attentive, and the food came out pretty fast. The menu is small, but all of the options were appealing, and they also have a kids menu. They do label GF and Vegan (although not DF, but they will help you with what options do not have dairy). My daughter ordered the butter noodles kids meal and I had the fish fry, with my son sharing some of mine (he's 1). Everything tasted great; my daughter said the noodles were some of the best she has ever had. My fish fry was good too. The one major issue was the portion sizes...they were woefully small. My daughter could have easily eaten two bowls of the noodles, and she's only 4. I could have done with another piece of fish and more fries (my son did have a bit of mine, but even had he not, the meal would have still been too small. Sadly, I had to make both her and myself another meal when we got home. The ambiance was nice, and they have high chairs and a bar. Other than the portion sizes, everything was great, but the prospect of eating here once and then eating another meal back at home to fill up will likely keep us away in the future.

This place is popular, but we were able to grab a table. I got the breakfast burrito. It was good, but the aoli was much too garlicy for me. I was definitely warding off vampires for the rest of the day. I would get the sauce on the side if you order it.

Dutch Boy with egg and fruit.
Suk P.

We were looking for a breakfast place that was open at 7 am. The restaurant is located in a residential area. Plenty of street parking. The restaurant has a lot of seating (compared to the High Hat that we frequent). We ordered the Dutch Baby, breakfast burrito with vegan chorizo, and rose salad. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was very good.

We enjoyed lunch here with family. I had the corned beef hash. The meat was slightly chewy but still tasty. We also had the short rib sandwich with cheese. The coffees were very nice. Our family also enjoyed the breakfast burrito, waffle and avocado toast. Service was great. We had a great dining experience.

Breakfast Burrito
Maria L.

Darling was very peaceful on an early Sunday morning. The breakfast burrito and the breakfast potatoes were delicious, and the bacon was cooked perfectly. The eggs were also soft scrambled, which I appreciate! I would have liked some other toast options, but otherwise the breakfast was tasty and enjoyable. Love the pollinator garden out front of the restaurant too.

Luke G.

This is an incredible breakfast spot! It's located in the old Birchwood Cafe location. Lots of space to sit inside, and it's order at the counter service. I ordered the trout scramble ad thought it was amazing. The Potato's were especially delicious. Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle. The sauce that accompanied it was a mustard aioli; I'm not typically a mustard fan but this feint and I couldn't get enough. We'll be coming back!

Excellent and varied breakfast menu. Ditto the lunch menu, and one of the best beet salads in the city. Highly recommended.

To say I liked The High Hat is a bit of an understatement. Honestly just thinking about it now I'm…read moresad I don't live in MN and can't go back soon, it's really just that good. First of all we found this place on Yelp and landed on it because of the high reviews and how close it was to our airbnb. I was a bit worried about a wait as it looked popular but with two people we were able to get in pretty quick (less than 5 min wait) on a Sunday morning. It was packed though, so there might be a wait. Space is at a premium in this building and despite being a bit crammed in it was still a great experience overall. Honestly everything was wonderful. The server: A+, ambiance: great, food: holy hell it was delicious. I had some sort of benedict that came on cornbread and was paired with some incredible hashbrowns. Chef's kiss. I also ordered a specialty mocha for fun and it also did not disappoint. This place is a slam dunk for breakfast. If you live in the twin cities and you haven't eaten here yet what are you doing!?

This place is an absolute GEM in the breakfast world. It is the ONLY place in the twin cities, that…read moreI have found, where I can get a great coffee as well as a great breakfast. Every. Single. Time. That doesn't even cover how wonderful the staff there is! Just really great people who are keeping it real. No parties larger than 6, this is a hard rule and needs to be respected. I have seen people argue with the owner. It's a small place and he values his staff so much that he will not opt for income over his staff's mental health or stress level. I admire that so much. All the more reason to take your close friend and enjoy a real down to earth local business!!!

This time our family tried the 5th Avenue Minneapolis location right across from Twins Stadium. Quick tip, park in the garage facing the restaurant on the left side. It's an easy elevator ride up and the signage makes it simple. Matt was our server and did an outstanding job. Great service always makes a difference. Beverage options were excellent too, stuff for everyone, mimosas, specialty coffee drinks, and really solid drip coffee. The menu has a great balance of savory and sweet, so naturally we tried both. We had the breakfast sandwich with sausage, a BLT on a croissant, biscuits and gravy, pancakes with fruit, and a croissant-waffle fusion with lemon and sweet cream. Honestly, everything was delicious. What I appreciate most is the atmosphere. These restaurants just feel comfortable, welcoming, and easy to enjoy with family or friends. I'm excited they're coming to Maple Grove, but I'll still keep visiting the St. Paul, St. Louis Park, and Minneapolis locations too because I want to see our cities and local businesses thrive.

Had the smoked salmon scramble which turned out to be a ln overcooked hot piece of salmon not smoked salmon sitting on top of salty eggs on top of toast. Please look up what smoked salmon is. Service was super fast and friendly. But weirdly they take 3% extra for credit card processing when basically everybody pays with a card (and they have a tap-to-pay machine). More cocktail options than menu options, soda in a can. Sheesh.

We have been coming here periodically for about 15 years. The addition of the new bar is a great…read moreimprovement to the neighborhood. Unfortunately, our repeated experience has been that the male bartender is oddly hostile - he often comes across as either passive-aggressive or openly rude toward us, depending on the night. We are a fairly unremarkable middle-aged professional couple who stop in only occasionally, so we have no idea what might be behind it. We tip 20 percent. We don't stay long? When we've mentioned the interaction to other neighbors, several have said they've noticed a similar vibe as well. Every other member of the waitstaff and bar staff has been consistently warm, friendly, and welcoming. Lately, however, we've found ourselves wondering whether that bartender is working before deciding to stop in, because we'd rather avoid the extremely uncomfortable experience. It takes a lot for me to write a review when everything else is great, the food, the ambiance, most of the waitstaff, but this has happened so often I'm flummoxed.

I never find it too difficult parking in this neighborhood and managed to find street parking fairly easily. On this occasion, I got the huevos rancheros and my sister got à la carte options of an egg and fruit cup, fries, and a pancake to share. Cannot rave enough about the pancakes here and I'm not even a pancake person. Everything else was delicious and special shout out to the kenwood for the complimentary banana bread with the best butter ever. Definitely a worthwhile brunch
