    Smoked Salmon BLT Sandwich
    Danny A.

    Tucked into an unsuspecting strip mall is what could be described as an upscale wine bar and bistro. After multiple visits for various things like date night, post work drinks, and meeting with a group of friends I still don't know how I feel about Pour. It's pretty nicely decorated inside. They do a great job transporting you from the strip mall exterior but it feels kind of cheap and extremely dark. I've always had great service. All the servers and bartenders alike are always very friendly; prompt and quick. With that said, in the handful of visits I've made, I've yet to see this place busy. The food is pretty good. Given the ambience and menu my expectations were quite a bit higher than usual. With the prices it's hard to be blown away with the quality of food. It's underwhelming and way too expensive. My suggestion would be visiting for a few glasses of wine and sharing a few small bites/appetizers.

    French Onion Soup

    This place is amazing! I was just visiting MN for work and a coworker suggested we go. Now I'm back home and I do wish there was a place like this near me. The black and blue steak bites were so tender and juicy and so delicious. Not a fan of blue cheese, but this blue cheese, OH YEAH! Bring it! Got the goat cheese balls that were so yummy! Especially in honey! French onion soup, the best I have ever had. Finished every little drop! Service was great! Atmosphere so cozy! Can't wait to go back to MN. This will be my first stop!!!

    Truffle Gnocchi and wontons. This gnocchi is what dreams are made of.

    We had a nice quiet date night here on a Wednesday. Had the truffle gnocchi- it was bomb. I'll come back just for that! Our server was too young to drink to recommend a wine so I had her ask the bartender (I gave her some pointers of what I had in mind) and ended up finding a new favorite. The hostess, Tess, was also wonderful and bussed our table throughout our meal which was nice because we ordered 2 apps one at a time and then our meals and then dessert. Killing a couple of hours just enjoying a night out together. Definitely will be back!

    Let's knock the bad thing out of the way first, price. She's spendy. Not like crazy spendy, but like Brick and Bourbon pricing. The men's bathroom was clean, but it was, interesting given how awesome the rest of the place looks. Anyway, everything else was fantastic. The drinks, the food, the staff were all absolutely amazing. It was top notch. Despite being in a mall, you don't get that feeling inside. It's beautifully decorated. We went on a Friday night, walked right in and were able to be seated. Ordered the parmesan truffle fries for an app and they were some of the best fries I've ever had. Ordered several drinks and everyone of them popped in our mouth. Even the kombucha beer was delicious and fantastic. Ordered the burger and lobster mac. I wouldn't call the burger cooked medium rare, but it wasn't overly done, more of a medium. It was super tasty. I swore up and down that I would never order seafood in the Midwest but golly was the lobster good. The mac was surprisingly spicy for my wife and we ended up switching food, but I wasn't in the slightest upset about it. Couldn't go wrong either way unless you don't like spicy foods. There was a guitar player there offering some live music, and although we were seated so close the music wasn't overbearing. Honestly the staff were super friendly. The waitress was timed perfectly, so helpful and honestly sincere, 10/10 will go back.

    Gnocchi and drunken shrimp pasta

    The food here was so good! We had the shrimp pasta, gnocchi and the cheese curd cakes. Everything was really good! Our fav item was the gnocchi. The ambiance in here is wonderful as well. Dark & wine bar vibes. Highly recommend.

    Drunken Shrimp Pasta
    Kripa M.

    After hearing a lot of good things about this place finally decided to go and give it a try myself. It was the perfect place for a last minute dinner/ catching up date. Place is very cute and cozy. Food is amazing. I got the Drunken Shrimp Pasta. It was so good I finished the entire thing. My friend ordered the Lobster Pasta. She loved the dish. We ended our meals with the Chocolate cake with the chocolate ganache. It was the perfect ending to the great meals we had. Staff is great, friendly, professional. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

    Pineapple Upside-Down cocktail, old fashioned

    Pro tip for Pour: it may be a wine bar, but the real star of this place is the cocktails! Pour has a great cocktail menu with more options for craft creations than most restaurants I've been to. If you speak to Madison and tell her a bit about what you like, she has some great secret menu suggestions! As for food, we just got the fries that night, and were they ever delicious! Instead of bacon jam, we got the spicy jam on the fries. I highly recommend it! As for the restaurant itself, the interior is spacious and comfortable. We were able to sit at a table where we had plenty of space between ours and the other tables. One of my least favorite things about restaurants is when the tables are uncomfortably close together and you're nearly bumping elbows with whoever's seated near you. I love that this isn't an issue at Pour. Pour was a fun experience and I will definitely be returning to try more cocktails and maybe delve into the food menu as well!

    Update. Came back with a party of 10 the next day. Gnocci is still the best dadgum pile of carb pillows smothered in beautiful creamy Kardashian-rich sauce.

    Charcuterie plates... yum!

    My experience here is from an event that was held in their party room. Probably isn't an actual "party room" but it's a separate room from the rest of the restaurant. We did a thirty-one bingo night. There was about 25 of us sat very comfortably in the room, probably could have had a few more honestly. My only complaint is the table configuration. One long table in the middle of the room and a few 4 tops against the wall. Everybody seemed really happy with their food, however the price point is a bit higher than what I would like to spend on a meal. I got a few different drinks, two of which were the lemon drop and the espresso martini. The lemon drop was the perfect amount of sweet and no harsh vodka flavor. The espresso martini was not too sweet and had the perfect blend of flavors. Both of which I would highly recommend. For food I got a few appetizers. The rib tips, which were seasoned well and very tender. And the risotto balls. Done perfect, not too much breading and the Ellsworth cheese mixed in was the perfect blend. The group also got all 4 of the charcuterie plates. Every bite I took was yummy. The service was also really good. She came through just the perfect amount and aside from having to auction off the food to the whole room when it came out I was really impressed with the service. (Different servers brought the food as it came up). I cant wait to come back here for a regular meal!

    Sometimes in life, you unexpectedly stumble upon experiences that you will treasure for a lifetime…read more And, when you recall the places that you've been, these serendipitous experiences will be the story that you tell. My unforgettable experience at Blue Goose in St. Cloud was created by my interaction with the kind, beautiful bartender, Winters! You can feel Winters' passion about mixology as soon as she asks what you would like to drink. And if you were lucky like me who encountered her and her lovely coworkers/friends around her. It's akin to the scene in Lost in Translation when Bill Murray stumbled on the locals in Japan and being invited to have a great night out with them. I ask winters for a cocktail after being super happy with her spirit suggestion. And she made me a drink that is tart and just right amount of sweetness that leaving me wanting more. I was lucky to get a tour of the speak easy, which further enhanced the night with the shock and awe that one feels when seeing this place for the first time. The history of this place is carefully preserved and enhanced by the Easter eggs that is all around the speakeasy. The tour of the speakeasy was definitely a cherry on top. But what makes this evening an unforgettable one for me is Winters and her coworker-family. It was unplanned but winters and her crew turn my otherwise mundane evening into an unforgettable night. So stop by; try you luck. You can't lose with Winters' cocktails and company.

They share an entrance with another business, once you enter turn left into the bar. We were greeted and chose to sit near the fireplace. There's 2 different rooms and each room has a bar.

The service was very good even though it only looked like 3 people were working - they were very busy but did not show it They have an extensive wine list which is nice and decent price range from $12 upwards. The Rosè I had was pretty good and the Cab Sauv my date had was good too! The music was pretty loud - only on weekends I think , but when the crowds dispersed it felt more like an intimate wine bar- so I imagine during the week this would be a great place to meet up with friends and family. Did not get to try any food as we had just come from dinner but they did have some amazing smelling bread boards I would be willing to try! The owners are a husband and wife team who are very down to earth and like they get to know everyone who visits A cute place in Shoreview- when in the area I will stop by
