    I wanted to provide an updated review as I was back in MN and ate at Ember & Ice several times including breakfast! I had the avocado toast and the huevos rancheros ( on different days). Both were amazing!!!! I would 100% order either of them again. My daughter ordered the kids pancakes and ate them all up! Service is quick and the staff are so friendly. I didn't have a single bad experience. I also LOVE the ambience of Ember & Ice with the fireplace and cozy chairs/couches. I will definitely be back during my next visit.

    We stopped here on a one night stay at the hotel and I rate this a way above average hotel restaurant. (Note that the Kyndred Hearth is the fancier place to eat in the hotel). I give this a 3.5 but suspect it really is higher. This feels like a fairly large Nordic themed sports bar at night with a bunch of TVs. There is a large central fireplace a bunch of tables and lounge type sitting (if you sit at the banquettes your mouth will be close to table level u less your really tall.). We sat at the bar and ordered from the large list of liquors, wines and craft beers. I ordered the Solemn Vow (Woodford Bourbon, Amaro Montenegro, Cynar, Mushroom (yes mushroom), Demara and walnut bitters). That's a lot of things and could have been awful but it all worked. The mushroom gave it interesting woody flavor and the Cynar added its Artichokey flavor. Overall this was a really good drink. We loved the Apple salad and Cheese Curds (both way better than average versions) and only liked the Charcuterie board (lots of food for the price but the cheese was sort of disappointing (lots of cubes of what seemed to be two kinds of cheese) the meat was good. It included grilled bread and flatbread and an olive tapenade but no quince as promised. The service was cool but effective, not much chat but we got what we ordered. Overall, I will eat here again and expect that the food leans more like our salad and curds.

    We pulled a 3n stay at the Omni & the main restaurant was closed 2 of those days. Ee popped in here for a quick bite. Unfortunately, the menu offered is a reduced menu & that meant 2 of our favorites weren't offered. Luckily, the pretzel made the cut - though it's changed a bit, it's still huge and delish! They stop serving early, 830p - so, we had our pretzel on site & ordered a smorgasbord for the room, to go with our wine. Service was ok & the food/drinks were great... the burning incense (yes, you read that right) really makes the cocktail- I absolutely love the creativity. I am hoping to soon see an expanded menu, even if just slightly. It would also be amazing if they kept the kitchen open a bit later on days where the main restaurant is closed. Of course, we'll be back.

    We stopped by Ember & Ice for a quick family get together & dinner! I loved the nightime vibe of this place, it's beautiful to watch the sunset over the Vikings Training camp! The inside is warm and woody, as if you're in a luxury cabin in the mountains. However, it is a bit hard to get a table to eat at - it's definitely more of a lounge. The food menu is small, but the drink menu is large and I wanted to try everything! I love how it's split into "Ember" for warm-feeling drinks, and "Ice" for cool-feeling drinks. I can't find the menu online to get the exact name of what I ordered but it had "Queen" in it! It was a cucumber-y, fruit-y prosecco spritz that was light and delicious (and topped with a flower!). We ordered the soft pretzel to start. This is an easy appetizer to share with 4 people. It was salty, doughy and delicious - especially with the mustard and beer-cheese dipping sauces! For dinner I ordered their Salmon Salad (it has a different name, but again I can't find the menu!). This was amazing and the perfect portion! The salmon was cookied perfectly and paired great with the butter lettuce and various toppings included. I would definitely get this again. Everyone at our table loved their food, we will definitely be back!

Enter through the Burger spot and look for the Coca Cola machine! Once you enter Volstead House, you can't help but be transported into what feels like a Spirit Library. A huge accent wall lined from floor to ceiling with spirit bottles is the perfect back drop to this cozy hang out. Perfect for a date night, friend catch-up, or solo Whiskey adventure, Volstead House is a vibe! Pair the atmosphere with top notch, educated bartenders and mixologists...you know you'll be taken care of! We started with the A La Louisiane, a spirit-forward, whiskey cocktail with some funk from Peychauds and Absinthe. It was delicious and well balanced. We also shared the Glazed Carrots and the Parm Fries. The carrots didn't hit for me, as the glaze and sauce lacked a punch of flavor but the fries were crispy and delicious. If you have a spirit enthusiast or someone that likes to explore the world of cocktails, I think this is the perfect vibe!

    Super fun spot at the back of the restaurant Burgers and Bottles!…read more Everyone enjoyed their drinks and our server was super helpful with decisions. My NA drink had house grenadine that I was skeptical of in theory, but I trusted our server who promised it was not the sickeningly sweet stuff I was imagining. I am glad I trusted him- combining the grenadine with pineapple and lime too made it amazing. The fries were under-salted but the drinks, service, and atmosphere made up for it.

    Since moving to South St. Paul last fall I've only heard great things about Inver Grove Brewing so…read moreI was excited to finally get over there to try it! We went for dinner and I was very impressed with their wide selection. I got the dill pickle chicken sandwich and thought the chicken sandwich was really crispy and I really liked their aioli with my fries. I didn't really taste the dill of the pickle spread, however, if you want the dill you can get the dill pickle pizza which one of our friends got and really enjoyed. Husband got the Bacon Patty Melt and he enjoyed it and our other friend got one of the dishes from the tacos, bowls and naan section, which we discovered you can get any of those made as those three options, which I thought was such a cool way to make the menu fit everyone. I actually didn't have any beer but I did have a couple cocktails off the spring cocktail menu and loved both. My friends really enjoyed the Lime Bubble beer and were excited they could buy some to bring back to Wisconsin. The server was the right amount of attentive, we ate inside and I like the mix of restaurant and brewery vibe they had going on. Will definitely go back.

    We headed out to IGB after a recommendation from a client of mine!…read more Plenty of parking in their dedicated lot! Sizeable patio available for those willing to battle the heat! The interior is giving industrial sports bar vibes, with TVs playing your favorite game, and wood/metal accents throughout the space. Bar, hightop, and table seating indoors. We didn't have a wait at 6pm on a Saturday evening. Staff was busy, but checked in often and were friendly throughout the stay! Lots of beer options, as well as a full bar! I had the Coffee Ale, which was lovely! Subtle notes of coffee in a smooth sipper. Enjoyed the Dill Pickle Chicken Sandwich for dinner, which was a great portion, savory, and delicious. Overall, a really solid meal! Our only constructive criticism was that the Onion Soup that my partner ordered came out luke warm, which was less than desirable. If we wanted to make a fuss, we could have sent it back, but decided against that!

    Moved here a couple months ago and we are really loving Lucky 13 Mendota. Great food and drinks…read more Never a bad meal! The weekend breakfast, bloodies and bartenders are awesome as we've been working our way thru the breakfast menu every Saturday at the bar. They just changed the menu so there are some new exciting things to try like the breakfast Monte Cristo but sad to see one of my favorites the Reuben Benedict is now gone. Was sooo good. My other recommendations are the Cajun hash and the corned beef hash and the blackened walleye Benedict along with the Monte Cristo. Often we sit at the bar which is really nice but you can't go wrong sitting outside especially in the evening where it seems a little extra special, especially if you're out there with a few friends like we did a couple times already. Some of our friends that lived out west a bit came out here to visit us so we had to bring them to lucky 13 and they really enjoyed it. They said what a great place and what a wonderful outdoor patio area here they have. The food is great too. And always had great service. I think we've been here about 8 times since we've moved here and at times with other friends and family and there's a lot of other places we haven't tried yet but when you find something great you kinda don't want to risk going elsewhere. Keep up the great work Lucky's and the popcorn too

    This place is not good, from service, to organization, just a mess!…read more I had a bar tender take my order and he never brought it. When I checked back in it turned out he was a bar back who couldn't pour drinks but he asked me for my order! I was also waiting on the waitlist for a table and the buzzer went off so we gave up our space at the bar, only to be told they buzzed the wrong person. The vibes were also off be square we inadvertently went there during Thur night bingo and it was super crowded and just not a fun scene. I hope to not come back here.
