What brought me here was that it was the setting for a pie contest, hosted by Sweet Potato Comfort…read morePie. I was in the audience. I don't get to many art galleries. Wall to wall paintings. Many would be good for a child's room and would make a great gift. For a shower as well. They have such novelty paintings i.e. the history of jeans, Dad's rootbeer, Rod Serling from the Night Gallery days. I loved meeting Kelly and was in awe of this place. Another reason to come to the West Bank. It's on the block for the Wednesday weekly West End days with all the vendors.

Even the front desk is super nice and knowledgeable when checking in. Easy registration online, location is quiet with enough parking spots, and LOVE that there are pieces to purchase form local artist. The class itself is a nice small size. You can try to make as many pieces in the 2 hours, but only pick 1 final piece to fire. I learned so many new skills and was covered in clay at the end of the class. I'm eager to take more classes and recommend this place to friends.

Order: Tom Yum shrimp ramen. Delicious broth was both flavorful and bright with a perfect balance of savory and sour. Three huge shrimp swimming in the delicious broth were tender and fresh. A variety of mushrooms added great texture to the dish. The lunch combo included an Asian style slaw that was just ok. Two vegetable dumplings were nice and crunchy but the flavor was just mid. Overall: delicious bowl of ramen with a twist. Order it and enjoy!

I used to love Patina. Such a fun, colorful, maximalists dream store…read more When I was a kid I feel like the vibe was more home decor, trinkets & boho-ish style. Now I feel like it's more of an overpriced gift shop. I'm aware that some items are justified in price because they are handmade and even some by local artist but the some of the price tags shock me a bit. I do like that they have Mn merch and a bit more trendy items (like disco stuff is in at the moment). The staff weren't very friendly. There were at least 4 staff behind the counter with no one checking out. No one greeted us, even when we were looking at jewelry at the counter they all had their backs turned to us and carried on with their personal conversations. Parking is easy at this location only
