My wife's grilled prime rib was also remarkably flavorful, and both dishes were cooked to perfection. We chose to dine here for the first time to celebrate my birthday. Upon arrival on a bustling Saturday evening, we were promptly seated at an excellent table indoors, situated next to the picture window. Notably, there was no wait, despite the restaurant being very busy at the time. The outdoor patio was also fully occupied.

The Liquor Lounge is a cute, little, jazzy cocktail bar located in the heart of Monticello…read more This place is kind of small and could very easily be passed right by. While there is signage in both the front and the rear of the building you could easily mistake this place for a dive bar or even being shut down. I assure you, it's not. Once you walk in you notice a beautifully decorated lounge. Floor to ceiling mirrors ans drapes make the room appear much larger than it is. Nice leather chairs creating little seating areas and the bar can hold about 12 people. There is lots of music/musician memorabilia on the walls and some fun fixtures. Our party of 7 took up the last available seats in the otherwise packed house. We were greeted by a very busy, yet smiling, owner, Angie. She let us know she had a few drinks to make and would be back to take our order. She was the only one behind the bar and was struggling a bit to keep up. Had lots of hustle, though. The wait was a little longer than one would like be but not bad. The drinks were worth the wait. Our party of 7 all ordered something different and we all very much enjoyed our drinks. On top of well made cocktails, the prices were more than reasonable - all between $9-$12 a drink. I very much enjoyed my experience and would absolutely recommend this little lounge.

First off inside is pretty nice , spacious with lots of seating and green plants and lighting There is a decent bar area with bar stools and high tops We got seated right away in the bar area without a reservation so that was great The host was super friendly as was our young server- she explained it's a scratch kitchen and craft cocktails so everything is made in house Cocoktails to start were the Lavender Haze and their Boulevardier- both were good around $14 each Apps- yellowfin tuna stacker - this was really tasty , light and refreshing , palate of 4(see photo) We ended up sharing the Chimchurri Coulette Steak served with smashed potatoes and asparagus This was good but too much Chimchurri for me and the actual meat lacked flavor I did however love the potatoes and asparagus and the Chimchurri aioli!! The crème brûlée was a little too sweet for me but was a great deal at $9 Looking forward to trying their brunch and coming back again for more menu items or just to sit at the bar

I was up in Rockford for a boat day with a friend and afterwards she decided to take me to one of…read moreher favorite local spots. It is quite small inside and is definitely not suitable for large groups. I also felt the seating prioritized style over comfort. This is your typical millennial trendy burger joint that serves water with no ice in a small glass, has higher prices for the portions you are getting, and seems to just have one or two people working. Service was a little slow as it picked up around dinner time. For food, I got the dry rub wings and mac n cheese. My friend got a burger and chips and queso. The food is pretty good. I liked the wings, they had quite a kick to them, and the fries and queso were good. I was not impressed with the mac n cheese. Since Rockford is a small town, I am sure this place fills a void with the limited options they have but I also don't need to return.

They seated us together, even though it was their lunch rush, and the staff took care of every detail for our large group. Service was excellent; servers were always nearby checking on beverages, food, and anything else we needed, without ever feeling intrusive. Everyone at the table commented on how good the food was - great flavors, generous portions, and well‑made drinks. We've always loved Willy's On the Water, but this experience really confirmed that they're a fantastic choice for larger parties as well. The manager, Gavin, and his staff--from hostesses to servers--were amazing and incredibly helpful throughout the event. I would highly recommend Willy's On the Water for both everyday dining and special occasions.

You can really tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted like it was made with care. One of the highlights was the homemade dressing--it was absolutely delicious and really elevated the meal. It's those little made-from-scratch touches that make a restaurant stand out. The ambiance was also fantastic. It has a warm, inviting atmosphere that's perfect for a date night or a relaxing dinner out. Combined with the excellent food, it made for a great overall experience. The service was excellent and attentive. We'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Tipsy on Main to anyone looking for a great meal in Elk River!

Every meal we had was excellent, and the service made it even better -- Shelly was our server, and she was absolutely wonderful. Friendly, attentive, and just one of those people who make you feel right at home. My breakfast was incredible -- perfectly cooked eggs, a warm biscuit, and the best cheesy potatoes ever. Crispy on the outside, creamy inside, and full of flavor. We were visiting my sister in the area, and this quickly became our favorite spot. If you're anywhere nearby, definitely stop in -- you'll be glad you did!

Always in search of a nice speakeasy experience, we came across Anoka Hardware Store while in…read moreMinneapolis before heading off to visit friends. It was a bit of a trek through rush-hour traffic from our hotel but so completely worth the trip. Discretely located through a door marked only by a red light above it we were warmly greeted by gentleman behind the hardware counter. We were prepared to answer with the password to let us in but for some reason it wasn't asked. No big deal. You are then sent through a door into the beautifully dimly-lit space of the speakeasy. There is plenty of seating, with small tables and some booths. We were shown to our table and greeted by one of the great, friendly hostesses. Drinks are ordered directly at the bar with one of the attendants. You immediately pay for your order which will then be brought to your table. Different but really a nice idea. The music was also nicely unique, with a mix of oldies from the 50's and 60's. An old black and white James Cagney movie played silently on one wall. In terms of the cocktails I have to say these are some of the most delicious and finely crafted drinks I've enjoyed. I began with the Start Your Engine, a delicious gin-based drink. My wife had an absolutely fantastic smoked Old Fashioned, smoked in a large box for a minute or two. Wow! Probably the best we've ever tasted. My second drink was another gin cocktail, the Last Word, which I'd been wanting to try for some time. A fine gin supported by green Chartreuse and lime, this was simply sublime. Highly recommended. The bar and menu is quite varied and extensive, so you're sure to find something to your liking. The space has a great vibe and mellow ambiance. Sufficiently dark, cozy and very nicely and eclectically decorated. Service was outstanding and informative. Reservations are recommended. Like many such places you are "limited" to 90-minute timeframes, which sometimes seems like not enough but ultimately works quite well. The quality of the cocktails, space and service all make for a really enjoyable time. Well worth many visits.

They served breakfast only on the weekends aswell.
