We drove over from Mankato to check it out because we had heard it was a tapas place. I wish the tapas were more traditional Spanish. When I think of tapas I think of seafood, manchego cheese, jamon, pisto, etc, The choices were heavy on carbs, pasta, sandwiches and bread. It seemed more like a minnesota appetizer menu than true tapas.
Beer selection is very limited- Coors light, Schell's, and Grain Belt. I know their specialty is cocktails, but it have been great to have been able to choose from other Minnesota microbrews.
The stuffed portabella mushrooms were delicious, but plating could use some work (see my pic, it's really plain looking). We also liked the Pomodoro. The Sour German was just OK. We didn't care for the type of pork used and both agreed corned beef would have been a big improvement.
All in all, I think the concept is a bit confusing. I would have been more pleased if the expectation of tapas hadn't been set. The menu looked like Minnesota-Italian fusion.
Service was quick and friendly.
We visited in the winter, I'd go back in the summer for a cocktail on their roof. That appears to be their sweet spot and where their atmosphere truly shines. read more
