Had a sister's brunch today and the celebrant sister chose Hope Breakfast Bar. Another sister and I were like darn, it was the choice lowest on the list for both of us. But on our drive there, we decided we'd both try something that we typically wouldn't try to see if it changed our views. I tried the breakfast sandwich. It was decent, not anything I'd ever crave. The bacon overpowered everything else, even the everything bagel! She did the egg farm grazer which was vegetables and quinoa topped with an egg. She said it was fine as well. Both of our meals were on par with previous experiences. Our two other sisters chose some sort of waffle. One was the hope waffle which was good, standard waffle with fruit. The other was chicken and waffles, the taste is decent but the portion was surprisingly large! 4 pieces of chicken with the waffle! As we finished with our meals, I was happy that we weren't disappointed with our food, so that was a win! But they watch your time so carefully. The moment we were sitting for 90 mins on the dot, they asked us to go. So if you're looking for a place to catch up with someone, don't let it be here!

The ranchy sauce they cover it with drowns out whatever taste it might have had. Food also came out cold which is not good at all especially when it comes to meat. Service: Ok, nothing special. Ambiance: Cramped and extremely loud. The waiters are constantly getting stuck because of the overwhelming amount of people. The bathrooms are in a really weird back area with the sinks being outside in the middle of the dining area making it almost humiliating. Price: Expensive for such little actual food with the Giro but the chicken biscuit was priced much better. The default to 20% or 25% on tipping was absolutely absurd.

Decided to try this place out for Mother's Day. Found out it was reservation only (I'm guessing…read morebecause it was Mother's Day busy). They did not take walk-in but you could wait around if reservation didn't show up. However, it was truly our lucky day because I think it was the manager that stepped in and asked how big is our party and because we were just 2 adult and 1 baby, they were able to split a table for us to get seated right away! I did not catch the name but I do want to say we really appreciate the awesome service! Ambient is a bit loud here. We sat right in front of the kitchen so could hear the pots and pans as well but it wasn't a problem. They have a cute set up which is also nice. Iced Strawberry Matcha- seasonal drink according to the seasonal side menu. Nothing special but you can definitely taste the match and strawberry. It tasted like fresh strawberry in matcha. It just didn't seem like they mix well together to me. But not a bad drink. For me, it could be sweeter but I'm on the sweeter side. South style fried chicken and waffle: portion is big. Love the gravy and also jalapeño syrup. Very different yet delicious. I was going back and forth between this and the normal chicken and waffle but I think the original looks like chicken strips with waffle so it didn't catch my eye. Definitely recommend to try. Monkey cake: who doesn't love chocolate, peanut butter, banana on a pancake? Super sweet of course but it was also good. The service is good and fast. Food came out pretty quickly I would say so we didn't have to wait long. For a busy day, we were in and out within maybe 45 mins or an hour? It is located in a busy shopping center but plenty of parking space. This is definitely a brunch place we would go back. I do wish they have skillets and egg Benedict so maybe in the future? I was also surprised they didn't have either but a lot of other options on the menu.

Enter through the Burger spot and look for the Coca Cola machine! Once you enter Volstead House, you can't help but be transported into what feels like a Spirit Library. A huge accent wall lined from floor to ceiling with spirit bottles is the perfect back drop to this cozy hang out. Perfect for a date night, friend catch-up, or solo Whiskey adventure, Volstead House is a vibe! Pair the atmosphere with top notch, educated bartenders and mixologists...you know you'll be taken care of! We started with the A La Louisiane, a spirit-forward, whiskey cocktail with some funk from Peychauds and Absinthe. It was delicious and well balanced. We also shared the Glazed Carrots and the Parm Fries. The carrots didn't hit for me, as the glaze and sauce lacked a punch of flavor but the fries were crispy and delicious. If you have a spirit enthusiast or someone that likes to explore the world of cocktails, I think this is the perfect vibe!

Finally crossed off Volstead House from my A-Z restaurant list, and honestly this one was more…read moreabout the experience than the food for me. First off, going through the hidden Coke machine entrance is actually really fun and makes the whole place feel like a little adventure. The decor and speakeasy atmosphere are definitely the standout. Very cool space. VERY loud though. Like "lean across the table and say WHAT?" loud at times. The waitress was super nice and recommended a mocktail for me that called Ass in the Sand. It ended up being really good. It tasted like an elevated lemonade and was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. Started with the rolls and whipped honey butter which were delicious. Very soft, warm, and honestly dangerous because I could've just kept eating bread all night. For the main meal, I did the Wagyu Burger with Parmesan fries. The burger itself was okay but surprisingly didn't have a ton of flavor outside of the grilled/charred taste. The Parmesan fries were actually the standout for me -- hand cut fries and parmesan fries are just hard to mess up. My partner tried the Mushroom Soup en Croute and wasn't a fan because the mushrooms were blended and he said it lacked flavor. He also had a Steak Taco special using their medallion steak and said even with lime it still needed more flavor. Finished with Crème Brûlée which is always a classic favorite for me and this one was good. Overall: fun experience, cool hidden entrance, great decor, good mocktail and bread, but the actual food menu is pretty limited and the flavors didn't totally wow me for the price. Glad I went and finally crossed it off my list, but probably a one-and-done visit for me.

The interior is modern and inviting, with some fun wallpaper making a statement. We cozied up to the bar during this visit. I will say that bar was a bit sloppy during our visit...bartenders' water bottles cluttering the visible space, bartenders spilling our drinks a bit during delivery, and weird transitions of staff that were a bit distracting. The Espresso Martini was the best item I ordered! Well balanced and the addition of the cold foam really made for an enjoyable sip. Would absolutely return for that one! The bites we ordered had great flavor, but some fell a bit flat when trying to live up to their creative ideas. The Fried Pickles were the best food item: perfectly crispy medallions with two delicious dipping sauces. The "burnt ends" cauliflower are really just roasted cauliflower with BBQ sauce on top, missing out on the umami juiciness of their namesake. The Chips that came with the Dip were just ruffled potato chips, not housemade or interesting. Solid spot for happy hour if you're looking in the area!

Starting my Happy Hour series and Kitchen and Rail in Eagan did not disappoint…read more The menu is curated, not overwhelming, but still has solid variety -- and the pricing? Very reasonable for the quality and vibe. We ordered the cauliflower burnt ends, fried pickles, and chips & dip. Everything came out flavorful and fresh. The cauliflower especially was a standout -- seasoned well with that perfect texture. The staff was helpful and very informative, which I always appreciate when trying a spot for the first time. The atmosphere gives after-work energy -- a place where you can unwind with coworkers or commune with family and friends. And the background tunes were on point. Happy Hour is getting a 4.5/5 from me. I'll definitely be back to keep this series going.

Well here's how it went: We ordered the food came and the waitress didn't stop by once to see how our meal was. My eggs were runny and I had to get her attention in order to ask her to please get me eggs over medium. I received the eggs and she didn't come to the table to follow up. I needed water and I had to call to another waitress and asked her if she could get me water. The young lady was polite however not following up with the customer is not a good thing. The ambiance is never the problem it is the service.

It was very good. I also ordered lemonade and it was served with dry mint sprinkled on top. Not much of a mint taste. For any of you who haven't tried Ethiopian cuisine, you eat mostly with your hands. Injera is a spongelike thin bread that you break into pieces. Hold the injera and pinch the food and eat.
