Went w/friends who had been to Charlie's before. Our first time. It was a pleasant evening sitting…read moreoutside on the very large patio, with a couple providing very nice, easy-listening live music on the outdoor stage area. Seating was very comfortable. Service was friendly but a little slow this night. We ordered their lobster rangoon flatbread to share, prior to our entrees, and that turned out to be the only dish i remembered to take a pic of. The photo shows just a half portion of the flatbread, and you can see that it was generously sized! Pretty tasty, but sweeter than expected, and one had to really hunt for any tiny little lobster pieces. Our table had 2 black and bleu burgers w/really good fries; the brisket grilled cheese, which our friend said was delicious, w/fries; and the ala-carte tacos which were amply filled but needed seasoning desperately. No accompanying salsa, and no crispy chips or other sides. Each taco came on its own separate tiny plate, so they cooled very quickly.

Someone definitely took the time to make this place look great.. service was wonderful also. We tried the cinnamon roll, the meatballs were amazing, I had the ricotta toast and my son ordered the prime rib toast. We were already a little full from each having half the cinnamon roll (the icing was some of the best we've ever had but the cinnamon roll tasted a little old, maybe a day or two old) and the meatballs again were so tasty!. I was glad to try the ricotta toast though :)

Spoke + Ivy (west Main Street, FW) - another locally unique dinning experience that deserves a try…read more Spoke + Ivy is located on west Main Street - across the parking lot from Redwood Inn restaurant, if that helps. This restaurant is set in an old building that used to house a pharmacy. It retains the character of the building via the hardwood interiors, tall ceilings, large window views of the street and concrete/industrial ceilings. The interior is nicely decorated with inviting green, brown wood and black accent colors. Table settings were very attractive as well. You can park in the small side lot or on the street. Reservations are easily made on line. The team is very friendly and welcoming. All set the stage for a fun and relaxing dinner experience. Spoke + Ivy has a very small food and specialty cocktail menu. This is the second time we have been here. Each time we found the food to be delicious and the cocktails are uniquely designed. Here is a run down on the food items we ordered: -Focaccia Bread: a mildly sweet, dense/firm bread, slightly airy with a touch of herbs to accent. It is cut into blocks so it is easier to share. The vodka sauce is thin in consistency with a smooth Italian seasoned tomato appeal. Both make for a deliciously simple starter. -Lobster Roll Rangoon: decided to give this a try. It comes out as one large Rangoon - not individual pieces. This means that you must awkwardly cut this shareable into pieces. The slightly crispy & oily wrapper is similar to most crab Rangoon pieces. It has a nice crisp. The inside has shredded pieces of lobster. It was not filled with creme cheese sauce like traditional rangoons - just plain. The green lemon parsley sauce was simply outstanding! It's very fresh, moderately thick and has a slightly tart taste. This added "the sauce" to what the inside of the Rangoon was lacking. -Milanese: nicely breaded chicken that was very moist. The breading is slightly sweet. The fresh bed of arugula salad is a nice add -Prime Rib Pho: this sounded really interesting. It's a smaller/healthier dish. The medium rare prime rib was sliced thin and tender. There wasn't many pieces of prime rib in this dish. The add-ins were fresh and much like you would expect from a Pho dish - just not as much volume. The broth has a chili oil base that gives it a spicier flavor. Overall we really enjoy this relaxed atmosphere and character of the building. The delicious food and cocktails are excellent.

I had the shrimp gnocchi the other night, and it was absolutely to die for. My wife had the Korean pork chop, which was simply delicious. And the cocktails were fantastic as well.

We were promptly seated inside, and greeted by the friendliest young woman who was so enthusiastic and had a sweet vibrant attitude. We both ordered the tacos and the queso appetizer.

The General Manager and Floor Manager both said hello and ensured we had a great visit. 100/10, would come back again.

This is an attractive brewery/restaurant with a gnome theme. And I'm a sucker for gnomes…read more Thankfully, you can't order gnome on the menu. The draft beer selections are extensive, with many different styles available. I went with a flight of all high alcohol varieties because I find them to be the most flavorful and definitely not because they give the best buzz for your money. The Belgian was outstanding. Our server was fantastic. She was incredibly friendly and attentive. If you dine here and she's your server, you won the lottery. The menu is very well-written but I don't think the food quite matched my expectations. The BBQ burger was fine. The hot chicken sandwich had a good kick but I thought the sauce was a little weird. The side of tots was good but it's impossible not to like tots. I appreciated the option of fried potatoes. They were fine. You could do a lot worse with the view. The spectacular courthouse towers over the restaurant on the other side of the street. Really good beer, decent food, great service, and a wow view. And gnomes.

We were looking for a non-chain place for an early dinner and decided to give this place a try…read more When we arrived around 4 pm, there were a few people at the bar but we were the only ones at a table. We ordered the fried avocado which was served with pickled onions and a spicy dip - very good and the bonus was a happy hour discount. Hubby had the Cheddar Smash burger with fries as his side choice (other options are onion petals or a side salad). Catsup was complimentary but there was a charge for the garlic aioli. Good but nothing stand out. I had the Brie and Berry grilled cheese without the prosciutto. My choice of side was the onion petals. Again, tasty but not standout. Ahlana served us quickly and with a smile, checking in several times to see if we were enjoying our meal. It was kind of dark inside (adding to the atmosphere no doubt) and there is a collection of eclectic art work. We were not fans of the music but we are old! There is outside seating but road noise may take away enjoyment of dining here. Enjoyable meal.

I don't know if you really need them or not for Sunday brunch. My wife had the eggs Benedict. She loved the fresh tastes and perfectly cooked eggs. The hollandaise sauce blended all the flavors nicely. She said it had a little kick up it also. I had the chef's special breakfast chorizo burrito. I really liked the brown sauce. The wrapper was soft and easily cut. The chorizo was fairly mild - no spicy kick. The eggs were tender. The fried potatoes provided a nice crisp on the inside.

Everything about my dinner at Rune was amazing. Every little thing. This is officially my favorite…read morerestaurant in Fort Wayne. I guess I'll skip to the end when I got my check, and was completely shocked to learn that I had a fantastic meal and an excellently made spritz, plus dessert, for a shockingly low price. I even double-checked the check, to make sure they didn't accidentally leave something off. No! How could it be? It turns out that I was visiting Rune during happy hour, which is Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 6 p.m. This could be why my bill was so agreeable. So, if you're looking for a great meal for a great price, visit during happy hour. So, the spritz. Literally every table ordered the spritz while I was there, including me. It was a great choice, and it looked especially pretty and ombre in a glass with ice. Like any good spritz, it had just enough alcohol to make things sparkle a little, but was also refreshing and hydrating. I made a note in my phone to remember that the bartender used words like "vegetal" and "herbaceous" when talking about some of the cocktails to the people sitting at the bar. I love a good vegetal, herbaceous drink, and it made me want to order another cocktail. Instead, I ordered the green spaghetti from the happy hour menu, which is a paired down menu, but has a lot of the items from the regular menu. The spaghetti was bright green from a pesto made from ramps, nori butter and parmesan, and there were also bits of clams throughout. It was rich and buttery! Ramps are one of those things that I have to get when I see them on a menu during the spring. They're only around for a short time, so they're precious. For dessert, I went with the pot de creme, which was flavored with pho spices (cinnamon, anise, coriander, cardamom, fennel, etc.) and had peanuts and chocolate on the bottom. Holy fudgy bottom! This was the smoothest, most balanced dessert I've eaten in a long time. Smooth, but with the occasional peanut here and there to make things interesting. The service was excellent. I was dining by myself, so I got seated at a cozy little table, lit with a candle, that was off to the side but also in the center of everything, so I could people watch, which is one of my favorite things to do. I wanted for nothing the entire time, but was also left the eff alone. It was perfect. It was one of the best dining experiences I've had that I can remember.
