We purposely went to Bar Brava while they were doing Sushi by Baaska!…read more TLDR of this review: great food, but expensive. We parked around the corner on the street, and climbed over icy snow piles onto the completely-iced-over sidewalk. Good news is that there is ample free parking if you can brave the ice. The restaurant is long an narrow, with a big glass case of beverages as you walk in. The cracks in the bricks are plugged throughout with wine corks. It's a cozy unpretentious space. We ordered a variety of dishes for 4 people, so we could taste different things. Our food came out quickly and in no particular order (we didn't mind this, but if you were expecting a more evenly paced meal, you might be surprised). They had a good variety on the short wine list, including Sake, and the sparking rose I ordered was delicious, though I wish it wasn't $20 a glass. The first dish that came out was the crispy tuna rice, and it was also probably my favorite dish. Truly delicious with so much flavor! I split the 18 piece sashimi platter for my main, and learned that I do actually really love good tuna. I got to try 3 types, all with different amounts of fat, and it was so much fun! I wish it came with a simple side of rice though, just a plain bowl as a palate cleanser and for some grains would have been nice. After we split the sashimi, we ordered another roll because we were still hungry. Then we had the Bar Brava roll (which despite my love of salmon, was not my favorite, I think because the sauce was very strong) and the Just Yellowtail Roll (which was more to my liking, but again, the sauce was stronger than I would prefer). Gyoza were solid, and Karaage was perfectly cooked (hot, so hot!) and tender. Lastly, we couldn't leave without trying Chef E's Uni Pasta. IT looked beautiful, and was so rich and creamy that just 1/4th of a serving was enough for me. I am glad I didn't order this as my main, though, because would have had to order more food. The fish was truly the standout in all of the food- it was of exceptional quality and preparation. I can only assume that is partly why the prices were what they were. I have had similar rolls for 1/2 the price that were better than half the quality (meaning they were also good). So, for the amount of food provided, I didn't think the prices were super reflective, and for that reason, I gave 4 stars (though the food was a 5).

Silver Fern has become one of my favorite coffee shops in Minneapolis. I work remotely a few days a…read moreweek, and this is one of my go-to spots to get work done. The space is cozy, filled with natural light from the large windows, and has plenty of seating, including comfortable spots near the fireplace. It's usually quiet enough to focus, and since it's right by the Mississippi River, it's the perfect place to grab a coffee and take a walk afterward. I also love that there are other local shops nearby, making it easy to spend a few hours in the neighborhood. On this visit, I came on a Saturday around 9:30 a.m. with a friend who was visiting from out of town. We were surprised by how busy it was--the line was almost out the door--but it moved steadily and was definitely worth the wait. I ordered the Bananas Foster Latte, which was absolutely delicious. It was rich, flavorful, and topped with vanilla cold foam and a caramelized banana slice. It felt like such a fun twist on a classic latte, and the large size was perfect. For food, we shared the Breakfast Flatbread, which was one of my favorite things we ordered. The combination of house-made ricotta, mozzarella, confit tomatoes, onions, eggs, and garlic olive oil was flavorful, hearty, and easily enough for two people to split. We also ordered the breakfast sandwich with maple mustard glazed ham, which came with a side salad and was equally satisfying. One thing to know before you go: Silver Fern is definitely on the pricier side. My latte and the flatbread came to about $28 before tip. I also wish they had a few more hot breakfast options since much of the menu leans toward pastries and baked goods. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the atmosphere and the people. The owner is incredibly kind, and the baristas were especially thoughtful with my friend's nut allergy, taking the time to answer questions and make her feel comfortable ordering. I also really appreciate that they offer 20% off for students and teachers every Tuesday, which is such a thoughtful way to support the local community. If you're looking for a cozy café with excellent coffee, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere--whether you're meeting a friend, working remotely, or grabbing a drink before a walk along the river--Silver Fern is absolutely worth a visit.

You feel close to the kitchen and get some of that energy, but it still feels comfortable enough to relax, talk, and actually enjoy your meal. The food was incredible. The crabby fried rice and Brussels sprout salad were two of my favorites. There were so many different flavors happening, but everything worked together so well. Nothing felt random or overdone. The ube cocktail was honestly one of my favorite drinks I've ever had. SO good. Between the food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service, the whole experience felt really special. If you sit at the bar, they also have a special menu, which was a fun bonus. The food is served family style, so definitely keep that in mind when ordering. The prices can look higher at first, but the portion sizes made sense once everything came out. We left with plenty of leftovers. Street parking only, but we were able to find parking in the nearby neighborhood without too much trouble. Amazing service, beautiful atmosphere, and seriously delicious food. I would absolutely come back.

Chose for my bday dinner and so glad I did. They went out of their way to make it a special experience and threw in a complimentary dessert at the end. For drinks, they had a great assortment and my mom and sister especially loved the unique beers. We ordered a bunch, definitely too much by the leftovers at the end but honestly what a great meal. Faves: -Crabby fried rice. This will always be my fave. I love rice and the combo of flavors is chef's kiss imo -Cabbage. This was a sleeper hit that I had no idea how great it would be. A really cool charred flavor to it and I never thought I would like cabbage as much as I like this Solid: -The steak. Delicious with some great umami flavor to it. If I was between this and the pork chop I would still splurge and get the pork chop but this was a great alternative -Sweet potato salad. Served slightly chilled. Yum. Another sleeper hit because I'm not a huge potato salad girl but I loved the flavors in this. -Purple sticky rice. I could eat this by the handful.

We sat ourselves at a small table for two in the window, and were brought menus immediately upon sitting. This place had that charming old world vibe with antique touches, warm wood, and aesthetically pleasing upgrades. The place was hopping, but still enough space to find room at the bar if needed. Some people were grabbing a causal drink after work, some were dressed up for a date, all felt welcome. I tend to order old fashioneds everywhere I go, and this place had their version on the menu! My partner ordered something a little sweeter per his taste, and all I can is, they didn't last long! Perfect little spot to pop in for a drink and chat with friends! Street parking can be difficult, but if you park a few blocks back and walk, it's doable!

Stanley's breakfast is your basic breakfast but you get two meats! And a no charge option for cheesy potatoes!! The bacon avocado wrap was AMAZING. And big enough for leftovers. We got our pup a bone from the dog menu. And there were many other dogs around, all well behaved. My Bloody Mary was on point. Great amount of TVs for football and conversation.

Service: Customer service was always been top notch from the bartenders and owner was so helpful in providing overview of the game, local culture/clubs, MN having the most golf courses which shocked the hell out of us. He have us basic lessons, advice on clubs for women and beginners, stance, what par meant, and hand positioning. Overall personable guy and went out his way to ensure we were good and had some background about golf and MN golf culture. Very genuine. Let the record reflect that I'm not saying that because he's from Chicago (the best city to Eva do it ) ijs Price: Very reasonably priced with options to golf for 30 mins increments. We paid 80 for 1.5 hours which was just enough time. I'm not sure about the food so I've included a menu. I didnt order anything personally this time around. Ambiance: It was an overall great experience for my 2nd time around. Last Summer that had a mixed with a DJ and it was a great turn out. Intergenerational crowd with lots of photo worthy spaces and seating areas. Very comfortable high top tables and lounge area with open space to mingle. They have great artwork, open spaces yet felt inviting for times when networking is appropriate. It would be great for corporate events or mixers. Great lightening, private party spaces and the bar area is nice. I'm glad I remained open to trying it out again after delcaring "golf wasn't my ministry" I just needed a lil more education and hands on basics.
