    Hot Hash & Holly
    Amy W.

    This is a nice, cozy spot for brunch! Staff was friendly and accommodated our larger group. The Hot Holley & Hash is my go-to! And I was pleasantly surprised to find that the black coffee is much better than you might expect from a diner.

    Breakfast Bowl
    Heather R.

    Another local hot spot with elevated food. Such a great menu where you can get breakfast all day. I ALWAYS get the breakfast bowl for dinner and it never gets old. So fresh, healthy and filling - yummm! The food quotes on the wall are the best. It has a charming interior and the staff are always so pleasant and hardworking. Parking can be tough here, no lot and street parking can be busy. It's worth it though.

    Lemon Goat Cheese $4 (Happy Hour Menu) with croutes, blistered cherry tomatoes and balsamic (v) I didn't know we can have just bread and goat cheese and it'd be this amazing. I just wish there's more TOMATOES! Tuesday night is date night. Come before 6 get some apps and cocktail(s) then get your dinner for 2 for $49.95 and get a bottle of wine for $20!!! Foods are amazing, ambiance is super chill! Service is excellent, Our Server is Lia, she's very attentive - gold star standard with smiles!

    American Breakast
    Maria L.

    I tend to judge breakfast spots based on their classic American Breakast, and the one at Highland Grill is pretty average. Everything was prepared just fine, but none of the items really stood out. Especially at the price point, I was hoping for something a little more special. The service was quick, but we were not offered water until the end of our meal, which was a little strange. The restaurant itself is cozy and in a busy shopping area of Highland Park. I'd categorize this as "not somewhere you'd need to go out of your way to visit, but convenient if you're in the area".

    Hubby and I stopped in for breakfast and loved it! I had the breakfast melt and just devoured it! It was so flavorful. Hubby had the Farmhouse - he said it was good but wasn't anything that blew him away. Our server was so fun - very energetic and friendly. I loved the holiday decorations they have up, and rhe Christmas coffee mugs. :)

    Cheese Curds
    Claire L.

    Cheese curds are always fire af. Their dipping sauces hit every time. I ordered extra ranch on the side Pierogis were just okay. Everyone seems to come here for the breakfast.

    Pumpkin Pancakes
    Norah T.

    7am breakfast and I loved the vibe of the restaurant that early. We had the loveliest server who kept on pouring me fresh coffee and ice water. I ordered the pumpkin pancakes and they did not disappoint. The favor was amazing and the praline sauce was the perfect match with the pumpkin flavor. I ordered eggs and turkey sausage on the side. Turkey sausage was ok, nothing special but everything was like 10/10. I think my dad wished he ordered those pancakes as well.

    Freya R.

    The food was superb. I had blueberry French toast and it was so good. I enjoyed every minute of it. And my wifes peroggis were phenomenal. Thw service was outstanding and Riley O did a remarkable job as our Server. She definitely deserves a raise seeinf she was able to balance the busy rush, April 25th. That Cinnamon Caramel Ice Cream is amazing and I would totally agree with the waitress that it would go great with the pies. The atmosphere was great and their funny quote wall was to die for. Loved it. Hands down a 10 star experience easily.

    Oatmeal pancakes
    Dave J.

    Well worth a 30 minute wait on a Saturday morning. Lively place, excellent food and service. Highly recommend the pork sausage,and the oatmeal pancakes. Delicious. Nice decor. Nice staff. Delicious food. Highly recommend? Yeah, you betcha!

    Pancakes
    Luke G.

    Whenever I eat breakfast it's a constant battle. Sweet vs savory. How do you decide?! Get both, that's what I did when I went here. After every bite I thought I'd been persuaded to each side. They were both so incredible. The pancakes and the hash. It's a little small inside, so take that into consideration when deciding when to go.

    French Toast

    I have been visiting this establishment since 2016 due to living within the area and have not really been back since moving away from the area in 2018. I made an effort in returning after all the COVID riffraff and I am happy to say that Highland Grill continues to have it together! When my partner and I used to visit back in 2016 and 2017, Kim, who was the manager during that time, was very courteous to us and would even take one plate off the bill everytime we visited! Unfortunately we do not see Kim around anymore this time returning, but it didn't stop us from having a wonderful experience. The food continues to be good. I have had all the entrées from years ago like Steak & Pierogies, Lemongrass Thai Chicken, Beef Stroganoff, Seared Salmon, and more. They also used to have meatloaf which I loved. However, I do not recall them having Tuna Poke Bowl from back in the days, so I tried it this time. It was definitely a healthy version and not authentic, so I would advise whoever is looking for authenticity to avoid ordering it. However, I liked the combination of all the healthy stuff so I enjoyed it regardless, as a salad bowl rather than as a poke bowl. Appetizers have always just been hitting different. The cheesecurds, the loaded tots, the pierogies, the brussels sprouts, everything tasted just like how they were 5-6 years ago and they were simply savory in the most positive way. I wouldn't change anything about any of those dishes. I tried their beet salad this time as well, and I absolutely loved the combination of beets, goat cheese, carrots, and candied walnuts. I could see that they were trying to use alternative flavors to replace the earthy flavors from the beets and as much as I love beets personally, I appreciated the move. I thought they had an overall generous amount of beets included, which was a plus as well. I love seeing Highland Grill thriving and I hope it continues to be like such. As I move from place to place, I love making an intentional effort to return to the Highland area just for the food here.

    Blueberry French Toast
    Jenae C.

    We went on a Sunday morning and got seated right away even though it was packed. The brunch vibes here are great. It's cozy, loud (not too much), and bright. We got the hot hash and holly and the blueberry French toast. The hash is my favorite in the cities! I loved the hollandaise on it. The blueberry French toast was really good with the whipped cream cheese, although one of the two bread slices was rock hard. The state fair blueberry and basil lemonade is also served here! Overall a great brunch pick.

It's a really cozy moody interior, with *no big lights* aka great low lighting and comfy seating options. When we went, there were just a few other parties there so pretty quiet. I liked that we had a whole corner to ourselves with a sectional couch of sorts and some chairs. They close at 10pm on a Friday night, which felt absurdly early for a cocktail bar. But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.

Came here for a date night, I got the Broiled Miso Salmon and one glass of wine and my partner got the Steak Frites and a coke. Our bill was $95! Ouch. The bad: If it were really really good I would be willing to pay for it, but I felt that the flavors in my dish, in salmon, carrot ginger sauce, and cauliflower, were whispering at best. I think the cauliflower could have used a sauce or been crispier, it just seemed boring and soggy. The steak and fries also came out cold :( my partner really knows his steaks and was not impressed, it was over cooked for medium rare and it had clearly been sitting too long. Not worth the $38! The good: The space itself is decorated really well, it's pretty dark but the theme comes together really nicely. I personally enjoyed the indie/pop music they had playing and it wasn't too loud. I really enjoyed the Chardonnay ($16) and they had a decent selection of wine but only a handful were by the glass. You can get glasses of by the bottle wines if you commit to getting at least two glasses though which is good to know. For me, the service really saved this review, our server was so nice and friendly, attentive but not overbearing. I would maybe grab a drink and an appetizer here sometime but will definitely hold out on dinner again until their prices chill or the food gets better. ‍ TLDR: Too expensive for the food quality

    Great little local spot in Saint Paul…read more There's a lot to like about Estelle so I'll try to keep it to what stands out: 1. The menu is wonderful, and the food comforting. The peri peri chicken was surprisingly spicy. I like spicy foods and it was teetering on a bit too hot for me, but I enjoyed the flavors and the dishes as a whole that we sampled. 2. The cocktails are divine. I had two old fashioneds and they were amongst some of the best I've had. 3. The service is impeccable. Friendly, well paced, and professional. 4.

We were seated right away based on our reservation and our waitress was a gem for bearing the heat of the patio with us. I got the grilled asparagus, the piri piri chicken, and the ginger cake. Piri piri chicken has a bit of a kick to it but it pairs perfectly with the rice and I really enjoyed it. For me, the $55 three course meal was worth the value since I got a few of the pricier items, but for the other two members of my party, the prices were listed on the restaurant week menu and the items they chose when added up totaled as less than $55. They still were charged $55, which did feel a bit odd and we all agreed we would prefer just coming for a normal dinner instead of during restaurant week in the future. Better balance of food that way also. I didn't necessarily need all three full courses and would've been more content sharing apps and desserts. Regardless though-they never miss on the flavors at Estelle!

Relatively easy to find, though you do have to hunt a little bit, Flora Room sits behind a nondescript metal door leading down a short hallway to the entrance. Take a long moment to allow your eyes to adjust if you're coming before sunset; this space is DARK. It's also perfect. Once your "night vision" kicks in you're surrounded by a nice bar, numerous bistro-style tables and booths. Candles adorn the tables creating a nice, cozy place to settle in for drinks. Once seated in comfortable chairs at a table, we were quickly greeted and provided with menus. The cocktail selection is relatively "small" but really nicely varied. Prices seemed a tad steep but frankly, given the quality of the drinks I'd say quite worth it. I started out with the Evita, a nice flavorful gin-base cocktail topped with a nice egg white foam. Very tasty. My wife opted for the Tapaculo, with gin, mezcal, pineapple, banana and bitters over ice. Also quite good. There are also bites available from the associated restaurant I can't recall the name of mine but I can say it was delicious. Bread-like bites with a really tasty dipping sauce. To close out the visit I selected Palo, a smoked aged rum cocktail that was really nice and rich. My wife chose the Nahualito with rum, walnut, amontillado and white chocolate. All should be on your radar. Flora Room really fit the bill for a nice, intimate speakeasy-style spot to spend time. Dark and cozy. Savory cocktails and friendly service will stand out and make you want to return. I know we'll seek it out if we return to Minneapolis again. I hope so.

I enjoyed the meditteránea. I'll very likely be back! What a neat spot.

The space itself isn't terribly large, and it looked like there were only three or four people working that evening.

Normally I don't focus much on service in reviews, but we could immediately tell our waitress was not having a great night. We were forgotten about a few times, but eventually managed to order some small bites, including a charcuterie board and some pretty yummy cheese curds. When we finally caught her for our second round, I complimented her glasses since they were similar to mine, partially in an attempt to cheer her up. I was met with a glare and a mumbled "thanks." When she walked away, all four of us kind of looked at each other like... dang, we're not sure what we did. Having all worked in service ourselves, we try to be respectful, stack our dishes, wipe up after ourselves, and generally make things easier where we can. Oddly enough, when it came time to pay, she returned with a completely different attitude... suddenly cheerful, friendly, and telling us to have a great night. Honestly, the whole interaction was a little bizarre! Service aside, the cocktails were balanced and genuinely good, the food was slightly elevated and hit the spot, and the atmosphere was great, especially with the DJ playing that night.
