I have never had a bad meal here. As a pescatarian/vegetarian, I appreciate the many healthy yet tasty options. The drink menu is well curated. During a recent summer visit, I enjoyed a berry spicy Margarita. I tend to avoid fruit margaritas because they are often too sweet, but this one balanced the fruit and spice well. I would definitely order again. Even though I was the only patron on the patio, the staff was very attentive - refilling water as needed and checking in an appropriate amount. I would recommend this place anytime you're traveling near or through Perham. In fact if only it were in my neighborhood, I'd visit much more often.

Super cute wine bistro located in historic downtown Park Rapids. They have a light menu, ranging…read morefrom brunch options, cheese boards, to sandwiches and soups. We just stopped in to check it out and got a round of drinks. They only have a wine and beer license - so no hard alcohol - so some options are unique, like a beer bloody and a wine bloody. I tried the beer bloody and it wasn't bad! I still prefer a bloody with vodka, but was glad to try something new and creative. Tasted like a more watered down V8 (the beer was Busch lite, which could have been why). We talked to the owner while there and she was super friendly. Can't wait to go back for food and events!

Everything sounded so good and the prices were really fair! I ended up getting a mimosa flight, which was delicious!

We also brought a 12- pack of corona that was $16.99. They are the closest liquor store to our cottage any for many, so they can make there prices high. Most people (like us) don't want to drive the extra 15 miles into town. But it is a huge place and I guarantee they will have whet you are looking for. They also always give you a free bag of ice with every purchase.

A large contingent of…read morethe Kelly, Bujalski, and other families also made the trip to celebrate the life of who Gayle calls here kindred spirit. The food was pretty much potluck, with any adult beverages being up to the individual. So at some point, 3 of us made a beer and wine run to Bernie's. They had an excellent selection of craft beer, and some locally distilled spirits. The wine selection was OK, but the more time I spent here, the more I came to appreciate the offerings, and how lucky local Fargo residents are to have such a place around. If I lived here, I would certainly be a frequent flyer here.

We were seated immediately and our waitress had a carafe of water waiting and quickly took our drink order.

I ordered the filet mignon with grilled shrimp added. It came on top of cooked carrots and a bed of buttery mashed potatoes. It was perfect! Literally melted in my mouth! My daughter ordered pepper glazed pork loin or something like that and she loved it! We finished with their famous Crinkle dessert. If you've never tried this, it is an absolute must have! No idea how they make this but it's SO good! 5 out of 5 stars Blackboard! I'd give you 6 if they'd let me!!!

Everyone we talked to was really friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. It was right after they opened on a weekday so they weren't too busy. The taproom is fashioned like a viking longhouse and the layout is great for big get-togethers. Not to mention the sprawling campus with gorgeous views. The beer was all pretty solid. Nothing to warrant a trip by itself, but I enjoyed all of them. The Margherita is always my litmus test for a pizza joint and they delivered! The crust was light and airy, really flavorful, and the charring was perfect. The sauce was bright, mozzarella fresh, and the basil (correctly) added after the bake. The pretzel was just as well done. Really fluffy with a crisp crust and just the right amount of chew. Their rotating specialty pizzas all sound amazing so you know next time I'm in the area I'll stop in for a pretzel, pizza, and a few tasters.

They also have a great beer and wine selection. The atmosphere is so modern and clean, yet welcoming and comfortable. The staff were all so kind and seemed genuinely happy... how rare is that? But the coolest part was the family that owned/runs the place. I've never actually been to a German restaurant where the current owners are from Germany (and we've been to a lot of German restaurants as it is my husbands favorite style of cuisine). Sounds lame, but that was pretty cool! The owners were so friendly and attentive! Last little shout out... You know the foods authentic and damn good when the chef (the owners son) is speaking German and drinking beer from a big ass mug at 11am! Love it!

I was smarter this time and put in a cooler and put in over the stove microwave so my dog didn't steal. The cream puffs are so good. Plain but you could add chocolate syrup drizzle. The bacon bread is good toasted with butter on it. They are open until 8 pm on Saturday. Noone was eating inside when I stopped in. Price for 2 huge cream puffs and bacon bread was $14.00.

Tucked away, this spot offers a tranqual retreat to sip lovely fruit wine. They have a tasting room and a patio that can support small to medium sized groups.

The Paul Bunyan Jazz is my absolute favorite, so I usually move on to a glass of that after my flight! Don't forget to take a bottle or two home with you as well!
