    Cacio e Pepe

    Amazing French/American fusion restaurant. Great service, great food, fun vibe. Always a great stop and it also has an excellent happy hour menu.

    After hearing about this place for years I finally had a chance to visit. Maybe it used to be a great spot 10-15 years ago but that wasn't my experience. We visited on a Friday around 7 and there were plenty of open seats. I arrived a few minutes ahead of my dining companion and was asked if I would like something to drink but opted to wait. The decor was pretty basic. Not as upscale as I had expected. It was very brightly lit and decorated with a variety of tables and booths. Nothing seemed very private as the whole place was open. Overall I got an Italian style decor vibe instead of French restaurant for some reason. When my friend arrived we were asked about drinks but she had just sat down so needed a minute. We ordered a bottle of wine and then seemingly were forgotten until I had to flag down the waiter to order. He seemed to be the only one covering around 5 tables but wasn't overly present or active with any specific table. Throughout the evening he seemed fairly uninterested overall. We ordered a baked Brie, croque monsieur and rabbit ragu. Brie was slices, not a round or wedges, with some figs and nuts and a side of honey that had spilled on the plate. It was pretty good but didn't expect the slices and the actual dish was so hot I burned my finger. Sandwich was huge with lots of fries. Overall maybe the best deal on the menu based on volume. My friend didn't comment either way so I assume it was good. Rabbit ragu started out good. Lots of meat, noodles done well, not too much sauce. It was just near the end that I had the unfortunate few bites with some bones. Overall service was prob a 2,2.5/5. Food was a generous 3/5, decor was 2.5/5 and overall value for experience was also 2. Glad I went to try it out, prob won't go back again.

    5 stars for food- brought down by server. Spoke so softly couldn't hear her at all and honestly wasn't attentive or outgoing or anything. Disappointing for a bday dinner- but food is great always. Just wished for a more present server.

    Great place for a Happy Hour after work. We had a party of 6 hoping to sit outside on the patio, but the outdoor seating only allowed for parties of 4 or less. The inside was also beautiful, so we still had a good time. The happy hour oysters on a half shell were DELICIOUS! They were removed from the menu for a while during the pandemic, but they're baaaack! I also love their aperol spritz cocktails. I left out one star because of service. Our waiter was just okay. He was neither friendly, nor attentive. Also, there was an extra drink on my bill that I didn't order. He removed it before I paid, but it did bother me.

    We went for happy hour and I think the best way to describe everything would be "ok". It's your stereotypical French bistro with decor to match. The patio is dog friendly. The service was good but pretty slow for only having 3-4 tables seated. I'm sure there are better options on the menu but for the price I expected a bit better. The "Grande Aioli" seemed like everything was out of a box from the grocery store. Undersized muscles and small, Kroger-esque cocktail shrimp. It was really lacking a sauce or, ironically, aioli because everything was dry and unseasoned. The bacon cheese bread was better. Very tender from the bacon fat and salty from the cheese. Whipped butter is whipped butter. Could have used some honey or a tart/savory jam?

    We haven't been her in many years and came by for dinner. The place still has the nice old fashioned French bistro decor. The host, server, and manager checked up on us many times and made sure we were happy. Everything tasted amazing. I really loved my prime rib cooked perfectly medium rare with savory aus jus and horseradish sauce. My wife loved her tuna nicoise salad. Highly recommend!

    Good wine, good patio, what more does one need?

    I came in for a quick glass of wine after work. They've got some great choices for Happy Hour--I really loved the white blend. While I didn't get anything to eat myself, they do have some choices for happy hour along with some tasty-looking dinner options. The service was prompt and helpful (thanks for helping me find the driest white!), and the prices for happy hour were great. They have a really cute patio space as well as a lovely indoor area (the bar is lovely).

    Tuna Nicoise Salad with salmon

    Baked Brie (pistachio, dried figs & cherries, honey, apple & warm honey baguette), Warm Gougeres (French cheese puffs with honey butter), + Niçoise salad w/ salmon (haricots verts, potato, marinated olives, hard cooked egg, anchovy vinaigrette) Putting aside my highly biased opinion of baked brie being a top 3 cheese...Salut Bar American is a solid choice! The brie was sweet, savory, with a lovely crunch from the pistachio + apple. The gougeres were like soft, cheesy little pillows and the salad was packed with flavor (if you like olives you'd love this salad). In the true French sense, the service was a bit laissez-faire making it ideal for great conversation...but maybe not the best place if you're in a time crunch!

    As I walked towards the entry way and snuck a peak at other patrons food as they were dining in the patio, I knew exactly what I wanted to order. But I didn't know what it was labeled on the menu item. So when I explained it to the waiter, he informed me it was the halibut. It was one of the best halibuts I've had in a while. It was non fishy and light. So Easy to digest so that I was able complete a one mile walk subsequently after dinner. The calamari was nice , I'd give the calamari a 7 but the halibut was a 10. The outdoor patio experience was pleasing in an amusing way. It was impossible to eavesdrop on neighboring conversation because everyone who sat around us spoke various international languages. Yes I will be back for the halibut and try more of their menu items. Their desert menu was tempting too. Next time I will save room.

    Salut! I've been wanting to visit Salut for quite some time, and we finally did, and it was a great decision! A few days earlier, I made a reservation, so when we arrived, we were taken directly to our table. All of the waitstaff were attentive and made sure we were satisfied. We went on a Sunday and during the time of the day when they served both brunch and lunch. 3 of us got brunch while the other 3 got lunch. All of us were happy with our selection, and the food tasted great. If you're looking for a fun place with a French flame, you have to stop into Salut.

    Crab cake, calamari
    Rachael B.

    My boyfriend and I love an impromptu date night at Salut! You shouldn't have any problem getting a table without a reservation, unless going during prime hours on Friday or Saturday. You can park on the street right in front of the restaurant or in the free public ramp behind it. The atmosphere is the perfect mix of fancy but still casual and cozy. It's nice but not too nice where you need to dress up to go. We never have a bad meal here. Some of our go-tos include: crab cakes, calamari, French onion soup, hanger steak, lamb curry, & crème brûlée.

Here's a rundown of our amazing meal: Starters: The Kanpachi CRUDO, POMMES DAUPHINES (with amazing gruyère dipping sauce) and Chilled GREEN GAZPACHO (they split this for us since it's a soup) were all fantastic. Entrees: The Walleye was great and we really enjoyed the AMERICAN WAGYU STEAK butchers cut. They all had great and unique flavors. Desserts: The server recommended the peach cobbler and we received a delicious complimentary sundae since we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Cocktails: I really enjoyed the Paper Plane since I like tequila and my husband liked his Old Fashion. The Spritz was also refreshing. The server did a great job pacing everything, and was knowledgeable with the menu and the waitstaff was polite and attentive. We reserved a table outside since it was a nice summer day and enjoyed our little spot along the restaurant. Other tips: We found free parking in the lot at the building at 5:00. Make reservations several weeks in advance if you want a table since this place is super popular. The location used to be the Revival restaurant if you are familiar with the area or the previous restaurant. We would definitely dine here again and it's one of my favorite restaurants now. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

However, Bûcheron, located in Kingfield, one of the most down-to-earth neighborhoods in Minneapolis, deserved all its accolades. We grabbed two seats at the small bar, and I was immediately wary. The woman behind the bar, while professional, was ice cold. She warmed up later, but what registered from her affect was that we weren't worthy of dining in this esteemed restaurant. It was off-putting, but she was friendlier later in the evening. I'm old, so that might be it too. Many younger people in the Twin Cities don't like old men. Bûcheron's space is small and homey, tying in well with the Kingfield neighborhood. It's cozy and unpretentious. I liked that. The food was scrumptious. Everything tasted wonderfully, and there wasn't even one miss. The menu changes constantly, so listing the dishes might be moot. However, the Pomme Dauphines, gazpacho soup, halibut, and sticky toffee cake made us sigh with pleasure. On a Monday night, the place was packed, but it empties early. That's typical in the Twin Cities. Late dining is not in vogue. However, Bûcheron is popular, so make reservations early. For the 12 months that we have lived in the Twin Cities, Bûcheron and Myrial provided our best meals. Bravo and Brava! Both were priced fairly, providing bang for your buck. I don't need cheap, but I yearn for great. Bûcheron provided great.

We ordered the chicken liver smear which tasted sweet and salty. It was the perfect first course to start our meal. We then moved onto the cassoulet. We did not enjoy this, the duck confit base was a bit too heavily oiled for us so instead we ordered the steak frites and burger. We loved our second choices and were happy with those selections.

And obviously that was our big mistake. We sat for a long time as people were brought bread and their appetizers and meals. After about 30 minutes, we finally got about four tiny slices of cold bread and some butter tossed on our table. I ran out of water. About 45 minutes into this I went looking for a manager. What we figured out is that the server forgot to put our order in. We waited another 45 minutes for food. I asked to have a substantial discount on the bill considering it took over 1.5 hours for us to get our food. And I had ordered a simple salad and nothing else. We noticed other waiters glancing at our table. I mean, you would think somebody would notice us sitting there in the main traffic area. Just never being served until I asked what was going on. In the end, we got a 50% discount. But it was such a disheartening experience and felt so unwelcoming that I don't think we'll be back.

Bay City is a humble blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of town, so it's easy to find the restaurant. Parking was abundant. Upon entering, we found a cozy but not claustrophobic or loud environment. After waiting a few minutes, we were seated at a table for two with a view of the nearby fireplace. Service was impeccable. Every course was spaced out with precision so that we never felt rushed. NYE was a special event, $125 per person for couples and larger groups. The meal included two glasses of wine, a white from the central California coast and a dry red from New Zealand (if I correctly recall). There were also cocktails available for additional cost. There were four main courses offered, the choice taken by our server just after we were seated: veggie curry, steak, venison, or seafood bouillabaisse. Lisa Carlson of Chef Shack and Chef Nettie Colon were partnered for this night. The first course was a chickpea puff that was like a seasoned cloud. My husband doesn't like chickpeas but even he loved this. The next course was an empanada made by Chef Nettie Colon. Wow. No doubt, the best empanada I've had in my life. The salad was next, and what is usually a mundane side was elevated to delicious artwork. The main courses were next; my husband had the steak, while I had the venison. Both meats were delicious, but I must say, I'm glad I chose the venison because it was something special. I believe it had a cherry reduction on it, and the fruity sweetness added so much to the meat. After that came the dessert. We were each given a house-made scoop of ice cream to enjoy along with four chocolate and vanilla tartlets and a single slice of Benedictine cake to share. Everything was extraordinary. Something I truly appreciate about the meal was the perfect amount of food. We didn't leave feeling sickeningly full, but were 100% satiated. Chef Shack is truly a treasure tucked away in rural Wisconsin. I look forward to visiting again when they reopen in spring!
