Phenomenal prices and good food. Even just a simple side salad had fresher lettuce and more cheese than a regular bar. It's definitely a dive. The women's restrooms were tiny but clean- my partner commented that the men's room was kind of gross so a potential heads up (I'm not docking a star because it's a dive and I didn't personally see it). They seem to usually give you plastic silverware, but they have metal utensils upon request. The patio space was beautiful, tho we are AC people. Was absolutely worth the small detour off of I-35.

We were seated promptly for an early dinner at 5:45 pm on a Saturday. The wait staff was efficient…read moreand the appetizer was wonderful. However.... It was apparent that there were differences between the online menu and the menu we were given at seating. The portion size for a sirloin steak ($34) is incorrect on the table menu. It says 14 oz. The actual size was 10 oz. Additionally, although the steak was accurately cooked, it was served on a cold plate, so that by the time it was presented, it was no longer warm enough to melt the rosemary infused butter with which it was dressed. The steak was pretty chewy, considering the price. Also: The table menu advertised "Soup and Salad", in letters 3/4" high, implying that it was a combo. The only indication that there was a separate price for the soup was in very small print in a color so similar to the background of the menu that it was difficult to see in the dimly lit seating area. As a result, our expected tab of $63 plus tax was over $75. We noted that there are older, invalid menus for Reunion easily findable on the web. They actually come up higher in a google search than the current menu. But that's a different story. I brought these issues to the attention of the manager, hoping for at least a conciliatory apology, but she offered none, insisting that no one had ever complained about any of the issues before and that she saw nothing that needed to be corrected. I paid the bill as presented, and included a generous tip for the server. But we won't be back. People deserve better.

I have been here a few time before and definitely thought I had already written a review, but I…read moreguess not. I have been here two times in the last week and lemme tell ya.. this is quite the spot. I do suggest making a reservation because everytime I go here it is popping! What a vibey place, the lights aren't too bright, it gives a hip, fun, light energy and is not too pretentious but has INCREDIBLE FOOD AND DRINKS. Right now, one of their specials is whitefish toast.. if you enjoy fish at all, you need this. The fish is light and fresh, they put fresh dill on top and it is placed on top of some toasted sourdough bread perfectly. The fish is flavorful, a lil earthy and I feel as if there are capers or olives in in the fish mixture, whatever it is is fire! The burrata, beets, and citrus is a nice lovely, fresh, light app, the burrata is perfection with the beets and fresh, juicy citrus, drizzled with some oil and random pieces of garlic mixed in, YUM. I suggest ordering bread on the side with this one! The wings here are a staple and always delish. Crispy, hot, and coated perfectly in a light sweet chili sauce.. they hit the spot everytime. The housemade ranch is a perfect dipper. The other day I tried the chorizo and scallops... oh my goodness gracious.. it was a lil spicy and creamy with the bean puree and the scallops were buttery, light and divine! 10 outta 10 would do again. Finally, got the goat cheesecake, gluten free ginger snap crust with poached pears. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want this now and in every lifetime! The cheesecake was light, yet decadent, deep, creamy with a light, unassuming flavor. The crust was delicious and the poached pears added that perfect fruit component. I got Liam as my server both times, he was helpful, attentive, had good suggestions when asked questions and didn't interrupt at all, amazing! This is the spot for any occasion!

We stopped in at Bitter and Pour after dinner nearby…read more We walked downstairs and had a little fun figuring out the "secret" entrance. We walked in and the place was buzzing as it was a Saturday night. We found a comfortable table for four next to the bar. The bar has low lighting, stone walls and wood floors. I liked the cozy atmosphere. There are a couple of other rooms with plenty of seating for both couples and larger parties. We were quickly greeted by a server. I will say she was not extremely friendly and seemed a bit impatient as we looked through the drink menu. Perhaps she was having a bad night. We wanted to try drinks off the menu to see what was interesting and different. The drinks arrived quickly and were good but felt they were expensive for the small serving. I wish I would have taken pictures of all the drinks. I think it is a cool concept. I liked the atmosphere. We may give it another try next time we are in town.

My quintessential breakfast item is eggs Benedict and cappuccino- this is how I begin my evaluation of good food. So it was a toss up between The Better Half and the Lakeville Brewing Co which share the same parking lot. AI told me to go to Lakeville Brewing for the Benedict if I expect it to be done right. However it said The Better half will have way better cappuccino. Entryway into The Better Half was nice . The ambiance reminded me of High Hat on Selby on Cathedral Hill in St Paul. However the warmth wasn't there at The Better Half. The big bar had a few people sitting there, bartender looked at us but didn't say anything. No welcome - no smile nothing. No host at the front door- there was only a sign saying "please wait to be seated". We stood there for about two minutes until someone came from the back to seat us. Our server was a different person, she seemed warm and personable. They should put her in charge as hostess. First impressions are everything. Also train the bartender to be talkative, that's usually why people go to bars- they know at least the bartender will be friendly. Cappuccino was decent and good sized, no complaints there. The Benedicts were executed poorly. The eggs were hard boiled on both dishes. Hollandaise was thick, tasteless and slopped all over the plate. It didn't look appetizing - we had to send it back. With that said the ham was a good thick slice and the potatoes were fried up well. But there was nothing special about the potatoes. Due to poor execution of the eggs Benedict and hollandaise, coupled with the stoic bartender who was unwelcoming- I'd have to give this place a 1.5 star. It's unfortunate since I want to cheer for the small town restaurants. There's so much they could offer in personal touch and experience. Unfortunately this experience left us feeling like "if this is the better half, then I don't want meet the other half." Management needs to step up their game, it's not fair to the workers to let guests start off with a poor experience and then have the food quality continue to degrade the experience. The server never gets a chance to earn a great tip because the bartender, lack of host greeting and poor execution of food overshadows the server who was trying her best. We tipped her well anyway but this is why the lengthy review.. For a breakfast place you gotta get your eggs right. That's 101 cooking.
