Multiple people checking in, offering recommendations, making sure you are happy, etc. I've been here for brunch a couple times and dinner. The shrimp scampi was pretty darn good but as a diva who has lived on both coasts it didn't blow my mind. But it was fresh and nice and no complaints. Their brunch is so good. The huevos were such an interesting spin on other versions and I loved it. Cocktails are great and inventive too! So they get five stars because they nail it on all points!

Allow yourself a little breakfast sin at Perk Up Kitchen…read more It's important to have a favorite breakfast joint in the place(s) you reside and I think we found ours! The interior and exterior vibe are cool and inviting but it's the menu that really makes breakfast here a special experience. Each item is a little work of art in flavor, creativity, visual appeal, and the trendy/classic balance. Let's talk some of these menu items that impressed. Any good breakfast starts with good coffee and juice. The coffee is great and the orange juice is obviously fresh squeezed - the bright flavor that greets your mouth first sip proves it. We chose a variety of different kinds of items. I went sweet with the Strawberry Cornbread waffle. The flavors were a taste of strawberry heaven with its fresh strawberries PLUS a syrupy compote, honey butter and whipped cream. My husband likes to go hearty with layered potato and egg dishes so he went the distance and got the Breakfast Poutine. Layers of goodness in every forkful. What really ties this one together is the white sausage gravy. My kids always choose pancakes but a shout out to the scotch square accompaniment to the kids meal. A little stolen nibble reminded me of when my grandma used to melt butterscotch chips for recipes when I was a kid. Nice touch for kids and their parents reaching across their plates. I would rank this even higher than the bougie, high priced breakfast joints back home (which are struggling to prove their value for me these days). The food here gets you that more approachable decadence without making your eyes completely pop out of your head come check-time.

We even sat outside and enjoyed the fall weather. I started with the Maple Cold Brew Old Fashioned, made with Bulleit Bourbon, espresso liqueur, cold brew, maple syrup, and bitters. It was such a fun twist on an Old Fashioned - rich, coffee-forward, and just the right amount of sweet. For brunch, I ordered the Sunday in Italy - roasted red peppers, bruschetta tomatoes, artichokes, spinach, garlic, Gouda, fontina, and Gruyère topped with pesto. It came with greens with their house maple vinaigrette. Lots of flavor and definitely a satisfying brunch dish. Instead of toast, I upgraded for a gluten-free chocolate muffin, which was a nice little sweet treat to finish things off. Great place to catch up with friends over brunch, especially if you like creative cocktails and dishes with lots of flavor. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

You're able to make a reservation online. Availability was good. Though we had some more family wanting to join. I gave the restaurant a call and they were super helpful in increasing our party size. Our server was also wonderful. Very patient with our large group, especially the kids. - Space is big and airy. Lots of cool, colorful art. Cons: - A little loud. Definitely not an intimate brunch spot. - Bathrooms could have been a little nicer. The toilet seat in one of the stalls was crooked. And the sink area was a little disheveled.

Great sports bar/tavern atmosphere, great staff, and most importantly, the food was excellent. I had the walleye with Brussels sprouts and the walleye was easily the star of the meal. Absolutely delicious. Olivia had the steak bowl and loved hers too. Everything we tried was on point. The whole place reminded me a lot of Ale Emporium back in Indy -- relaxed sports bar vibes, plenty going on, but the food is way better than typical bar food. Great vibes, great service, great food. Couldn't have asked for a better first meal after a long drive into Minnesota. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

There were still some things we really enjoyed, though, and I'm glad we gave it a try. We started with the French Onion Soup, which was one of my favorite parts of the meal. I loved that they used croutons instead of one giant piece of bread. Much easier to eat--no fighting with a giant bread raft to get to my soup! The flavor was really nice too. I had the Bolognese Pappardelle, which was good, and my partner really enjoyed his Hanger Steak. He also tried the Garlic Herb Mushrooms, but those weren't really his thing. I ordered the N.A. Lela Punch, and that one surprised me. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it grew on me as I drank it. Apparently we just needed a little time to get acquainted. Dessert was an adventure. I decided to try the White Chocolate Panna Cotta because I'd never had panna cotta before. It was beautifully plated, but this is also how I learned panna cotta has a Jell-O-like texture... and I do not like Jell-O. That's definitely a me problem rather than a criticism of how it was prepared. At least I can officially say I've tried panna cotta! I ended up trying the Crème Brûlée as well. Unfortunately, that wasn't my favorite either. I usually love crème brûlée, but I prefer the custard very smooth and creamy, and this one was thicker than I personally like. My partner had the Chocolate Molten Cake and thought it was okay, but it wasn't a favorite for him either. Overall, Lela had some definite highlights--the French Onion Soup, Bolognese Pappardelle, and Hanger Steak especially--but we also had a few misses. I can understand why other people really enjoy it; it just wasn't quite the restaurant for us. And hey, every restaurant adventure can't end with a new favorite. That's half the fun of trying them all!

We were coming from an appointment in Edina and assumed we'd be waiting for a while, but that wasn't the case at all. We walked in, I ran to the restroom, and they were already ready for us. The Edina location does feel a bit tight, I'm not sure why, but I would definitely recommend using the waitlist during peak times or you'll likely be waiting (there are several benches available to hang out on if you are waiting). The sourdough French toast is always my go-to, especially paired with their bacon. I should have gone with the short stack this time. That bacon is so good. I'm not sure were they get it from, but I'm a fan. Our food came out really fast. We were in and out in about 35 minutes. Typically, OPH is a five star experience, and based on the food alone, it absolutely still is. For me, the service fell a bit short this time. Both our server and others seemed a little off. For example, as we were leaving, I paused to let a server finish dropping off food at a nearby table. It was taking a bit, so I carefully moved past, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. She turned and almost ran right into me, and the look I got in return just felt off. That said, it was Mother's Day, so giving some grace. Just not quite the usual experience.

The person that answered the phone told me that I should call him back when I was under a sign that said Hotel. Unfortunately, for me, there were two signs. One on each side of the waiting area for shuttles. I really wasn't in the mood to spend any longer in the airport than I had to, so I got a taxi and was at the hotel in five minutes. Be warned... a five minute ride from the airport set me back $23.60 plus a tip. When I arrived at the hotel there was an information packet waiting for me at the front desk. I went up to my room and unpacked. I then went down to Jake's Kitchen and had a burger. The room is a standard hotel room with a separate bath and vanity. There was a queen size bed and a huge flat screen television on the dresser opposite the bed. There was also a desk and a small sofa with an ottoman. I later found a small refrigerator concealed in the dresser. This would be my home for the next week. The hotel provided shuttle services to the campus where my training was taking place. The drivers were friendly and professional. I had food vouchers for different restaurants in the area, but found myself spending most of my time at the hotel's restaurant. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I'd gladly stay here again.

Came here because of all the amazing reviews and the photos of the inside are so cute, yet everything was mediocre. Coffee - bad Chai latte - not good Food - mediocre, bland Service - blah and slow Decor - quaint, quirky and cute, really the only reason for the extra star Additionally, I ordered a dirty chai latte with 2 shots of espresso. He charged me the $6.50 for the latte listed on the menu, then $1.50 for one "Xtra Espresso Shot," then $4.00 for an "Espresso." When I questioned it, he brought the menu and tried to say it's $4.00 for an espresso so he was being nice by not charging $8.00 for the 2 add shots... BRO, you have a button ON THE REGISTER for "Xtra Espresso Shot" for a reason. You hit it twice for 2 add shots on the latte I'm already paying for. $3.00 for 2 add shots on a latte is reasonable, $5.50 is insane. Should have been $9.50 for a double dirty chai latte, he charged me $12.00 and thought he was being nice not charging $14.50. And it wasn't even good. Won't be coming back. Disappointed. I shouldn't even be surprised, but I was so shocked I am already writing this review right after we got home. This place is soooo overrated.
