    a menu and a cup of coffee
    Barry C.

    Great food! Really great attentive staff! A solid dining pedestal in a city that is desperate for such. Great pricing through the entire menu... Wine list included. Bravo to the entire Eleven team.

    Cozy inside.

    ** I must first preface this review by saying that I'm rating this restaurant by Bakken oil field standards - NOT by big city standards! Anyone who's been to this area of the country or lives here knows what I'm talking about. ** Alright, so if I had an important business dinner, hot date, or found myself missing the more refined foods I've enjoyed while living in bigger cities, this would probably be the place I'd come. It's arguably the nicest restaurant in the Bakken (at least in the Williston/Watford City areas). Housed in a restored old Elk's Lodge, Eleven Restaurant & Lounge boasts white table cloths, dim/moody lighting, an attentive yet aloof black-clad waitstaff reminiscent of the struggling actor/waiters of Los Angeles, and an extensive yet meat-heavy menu. If you come here for dinner, your wallet will be significantly lighter when you leave as they charge an arm, leg, and first born child for relatively small amounts of food. My hubby was gunning to order a small steak for $50...that is until he found out that this steak came by itself - no side salad, no soup, no sides even - just a small piece of steak chillin' alone on a plate. The waiter asked him if he'd liked to purchase a side dish. Really?! It's not like we're in Beverly Hills. Instead, he ended up ordering the smoked rabbit - which was a horror story in itself (see photo if you dare). The rabbit, which looked like a small whale tail, came out tasting like jerky - good but tough and hard to eat (or watch it being eaten - ick!). I think we will both have nightmares about that dish for years to come. As for me, I've ordered a delicious cheese plate, some decent baked brie, some alright cheese ravioli, and some passable creme brûlées. Nothing has ever been really amazing but nothing (except that frightening smoked rabbit) has been horrible. Overall, Eleven is probably the best restaurant I've eaten at up here aside from some of the little culinary gems in Bismarck. Yet, I just can't bring myself to give it a full five stars due to the exorbitant pricing, small portions, and average food quality.

    Osso bucco

    Wow I had the osso bucco tonight and it was so good!!! I also had the tuna tartar and omg I wish I could've had 2 or 3 of those it was so good! My one complaint is the restaurant itself is dated and needs a lift but not horrible. Maybe better presentation with drink as well.

    The original closing time when this was a lodge.  So said the staff.

    I was very happy with my meal. I had the shrimp cocktail, nice salad and the pot roast. Loved it all. Service was great.

    I've been on an extended stay in Williston while working on building a gas plant, and let me tell…read moreyou, the Tavern at the Grand has become my go-to spot for unwinding after long days on the job. This place is a unique little oasis in the heart of oil country, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a welcome escape from the hustle. The diverse menu, featuring expertly grilled steaks, burgers, pasta dishes, and award-winning appetizers like their excellent tavern wings, keeps things exciting - no two visits feel the same! The food here is absolutely top-notch. So far, I've tried the cedar plank salmon, which was perfectly cooked with a smoky flavor that paired beautifully with the sides; the bread pudding, rich and indulgent with just the right amount of sweetness; the prime rib burger, juicy and packed with bold flavors reminiscent of their standout prime rib French dip that other guests rave about; and the penne vodka, creamy and comforting with a kick that hits the spot. Every dish has been executed flawlessly, using fresh ingredients that elevate even the simplest meals. It's clear the kitchen, led by the amiable chef Gerald, puts real care into their constantly evolving menu. But what elevates this place to 5-star status is the incredible service from the entire staff. All the bartenders and bar managers are wildly attractive and bring such vibrant energy to the bar - they're attentive, fun, and always quick with a recommendation or a perfectly mixed drink, making you feel like a regular from day one. Kaylee is fantastic, and Bree is an absolute rockstar, handling the crowd with effortless charm and skill. Their energy matches the friendly vibe of the whole team, from the front desk to the servers, who go out of their way to ensure everything is just right. It's the kind of hospitality that turns a good meal into a memorable experience, especially when you're far from home. Pictured here are some of their new seasonal drinks that I highly recommend trying: the Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned, with its warm, autumnal twist on a classic, and the Grinch Goes Hard, a festive, potent concoction that's perfect for the holidays and packs a delightful punch. If you're in Williston for work or passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by the Tavern at the Grand. Great food, outstanding service, and that cozy bar/lounge setup make it the best spot in town. Highly recommend - I'll be back for more!

    I've only been to this location twice, but it is a unique little oasis in Williston…read more Located within the Grand Williston Hotel, this bar/lounge offers a nice ambiance for grabbing a bite or a drink and unwinding When you walk through the hotel to get to the bar it really doesn't look like much from the outside, in fact, if I didn't know better I probably wouldn't enter the bar based on the outer appearance The space is intimately lit. The bar section is somewhat trendy, but with a green backlight that is more or less distracting and unnecessary.towards the entry there is gambling for some reason (slot machines and a table for what looks to be black Jack or poker). On the other side of the gas fireplace there is a dining room. I've never tried their food, but their cocktails are delightful. They offer a variety of classic and signature cocktails as well as beer and wine. You can see the bar is full stocked with all sorts of whiskeys and other spirits The service was mid. Our server was pleasant, but our drink order took at least 15-20min. I know some of these cocktails take a while as they are artisanal, but I watched her pour a beer for our table and set it to the side while she worked on cocktails for 10min letting the beer warm up. Also, the cocktail menu listed all the prices, and someone in our party ordered an older fashion for $10, and when the check came he was charged a double ($22). We reported the mistake and were told that the menu hasn't been updated with prices, which is completely ridiculous. If this were the case they should have told us when we ordered Some tips: This place is an ideal happy hour spot to unwind with friends of coworkers. It wouldn't be a terrible date night spot as well. The blueberry margarita is actually phenomenal. I with there was a little more alcohol to balance the sweet, but it's still tasty Cheers!!

    Aside from a black hair in the shower, the service was excellent, rooms were nicer than I thought…read morethey would be considering the location. I find that hotel rooms are rarely ever clean - this one was pretty clean. Hairs in showers always gross me out especially when they're black (I'm blonde so I know they're not mine). I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional level of customer service!

    Property opened March 2012 with 88 Suites. Everything new and fresh and expect to pay a higher…read moreamount then most places in town. Service is basic and not as helpful as you would think based on first impressions. It's nice looking soon as you walk in but don't let that fool you. Music on loudly in lobby which doesn't seem to bother you at first unless you have a room just above the lobby area. AT 10pm is loud as hell. Of course I asked them to turn it down and they turn it off for the nigh. There's breakfast in the morning in a large room just beyond the front desk but the downside is that they have reconstituted eggs and microwaved bacon so I'm eating out because that just turns me off in the morning. I'll grab a banana and that's about it. There's a work out room with free weights & cardiovascular equipment. There's both an indoor hot tub and pool next to each other and some tables and chairs on the inside pool deck..towels provided but if you're a female, I suggest to pass it up since all the perverted men come down there and probably pee in the water. There's an outdoor sun patio with chaise lounge chairs to relax in but for my stay, the construction of the parking lot paving and building across the street isn't desirable at all. But..it will eventually complete and you can relax when its all done that's if all the perverted men in town aren't staring at you up and down. God forbid you look them straight in the eye. They would construe that as an invitation. They have free coffee, tea and hot water all day in the same room they serve breakfast..nothing special. Property is near the main drag so you can access everything fast but watch out for careless drivers. It's all an accident waiting to happen. Wal-mart is next door as is the airport and once again it's perv central. You can walk to both although I wouldn't suggest it. Do your homework about this town first before you venture out on foot. It's not something you see around here I almost forgot to mention that if you travel with any valuables and you'd like to lock it up..each room is equipped with a safe in the closet that you choose your own pin to use. If you get lower level rooms, be prepared to hear stomping of elephants above you. People here have no consideration for the folks below them and in addition if you are in a room on the 1st level near the lobby, you hear absolutely everything..so I can't stress it enough. Bring your earplugs but hopefully you can hear your alarm go off in the morning. So far every night I've been here thus far (6 nights) I've been awakened to slamming of doors, noisy lobby sound system that's way too loud (apparently the installer put speakers in wrong), neighboring rooms who patrons can't find their "inside' voice etc. I feel like a walking zombie most days. I get to leave here for another establishment on the 1st. Thank you for small miracles. I hope my next experience is better.
