Ordered the chili lime shrimp salad. Comes with 6 pieces of grilled shrimp on top of greens, avocado, tortilla strips. Overall great salad but we noticed the portion size is smaller. Also tried the grilled chicken grain bowl. Comes with grilled chicken, steamed green beans, greens, and quinoa. Dressing is a sweet plum sauce. It was decent but pricey at $23. The star of our lunch was the key lime dessert. More like a deconstructed pie but huge and so good! Restaurant was busy, service was mediocre, bathroom is clean. Large shared parking lot

Wow, this cafe absolutely wins at ambiance. This is a cute-as-heck coffee and brunch place that was…read moreclearly converted from a Victorian home in Eden Prairie. I had an awesome breakfast burrito and their awesome Tirimasu Latte (iced), and they have other offerings that will lure me from St Paul for future visits. Specifically, now that I am mourning the loss of Sun Street Breads and its Thursday Night Pizza Night, I'll have to try Smith's version of that. But I'll probably come back for brunch on a weekend pretty soon and get more coffee, as well as something from their bakery. But also, yes, brunch; the eggs in my burrito were really perfect. I was there at around noon on a Sunday; peak busy times so parking was a little hairy but I eventually found a spot. I absolutely recommend coming with a bunch of pals and hanging out for a good long time, but maybe don't all drive separately if it's noon-ish on a weekend. They have a lovely patio area which was well-populated, even on this extra-sunny mid-February day. If you like adorable cafes, you will definitely love this place.

On a WFH Friday, our internet was being "upgraded" aka xfinity had a outage in the area for a…read morewhile... I immediately started looking at coffee shops that I could relocate to in order to work. I had been wanting to go try Smiths for a while but the opportunity just never presented itself despite being just down the road. I arrived and the driveway leading to the parking lot was lined with cars, but I was able to find a spot in the parking lot after a minute or so. It was definitely a full lot for sure. The location is absolutely adorable as this is a historic house. It was once a Dunn Brothers, but I do love that it is its own thing now rather than a chain. They had a outdoor patio that people were enjoying but it was a bit chilly for working and sitting outside, one person even had a dog which I LOVE! Inside the front door you are greeted with a welcoming counter that you can order. I opted to try the salted caramel iced latte. If you are consuming there (which I was) they give you a number to bring to your table and they bring the drink. I really liked this idea especially in the aspect of not having to stand and wait for a drink. The price was a bit high (7.55 for a 16 oz with $1 tip), but then again everything is getting expensive these days. I walked back to the seating area and there are essentially 3 rooms downstairs, I walked through all 3 to see where working would be ideal. I went upstairs but there was a woman in the room so I assumed it was a group that was meeting or something so I opted to not investigate further. I found seating downstairs in what felt like the quietest part, but there were a lot of people there talking and the acoustics were not exactly fantastic. I did have a call which I took via teams and air pods and discovered the sound in the room was actually really not awesome for a meeting as it was quite loud and the wifi was not strong enough to support the video on the teams call. So would I recommend working from Smith, not if you have a meeting, but if you are looking for a place that has some background noise, I guess... However this is certainly a place that is perfect for meeting someone and enjoying breakfast or coffee and I love that. I did not order food this time, but everything I saw get delivered looked delicious. I also noticed they have a pizza night on Thursday nights and immediately made a note of that for a date night with the hubby.

Needed a bite to eat after work with a friend and hadn't tried this place yet so decided to pop in…read more Had read the reviews and looked through pictures and was excited to try some of the items I had seen, but when we got there none of them were on the menu any more :( We each got a drink, both of which were pretty good. We got 2 appetizers and each got an entree. The cauliflower wings were good but the larger ones still had raw batter on the inside. The deviled egg scotch eggs had good flavor, but the deviled egg yolk texture was a little weird to wrap our brains around. My friend didn't much care for her sandwich but I thought the pepperoni flatbread was quite good. The chef pushed back a bit on my wanting to add fresh mozarella for obvious reasons, but the reason he was pushing back was the reason I actually wanted it on there lol. The server was knowledgeable and helpful. Made a mistake but fixed it pretty quick, no big deal. But my biggest complaint was the lighting. The lights directly above the table were SO BRIGHT! Made it feel like an airport lounge and actually gave me a bit of a headache. Definitely kept us from being able to relax and enjoy our food and drinks because we felt like there was a constant spotlight on us. We will probably come back at some point, but because you can't really feel like you can relax it will probably be a little bit.

With the three off us, it was a 2-1 split in favor of lunch. My wife had the Southwest Grain Bowl which she proclaimed was excellent. Her sister opted for brunch and enjoyed her Avocado Toast. I ordered the Margarita Flatbread and really enjoyed it. The flatbread had balsamic drizzled on the top which gave a taste I've never experienced with a Margarita pizza. The large, roasted tomatoes also added a nice touch and taste. Good service is almost becoming a standard in most restaurants we go to and it was certainly evident here. All in all, an enjoyable meal.

We also ordered some drinks (You're My Boy Blue & the Rhubarb/Ginger Gin Fizz). Both were a perfect balance of refreshing and fruity. I ordered the brisket mac & cheese (pictured) and was immediately in love. Truly the definition of comfort food. As it was my birthday, we were able to finish off the meal with a slice of rainbow cake. We will definitely be back, as there are so many things we didn't get this time that we want to try

RC and I decided to try this restaurant because I've been eyeing it since it opened back when I…read moredrank bourbon. I don't drink anymore, so I get to focus on the food. We ordered the Candied Bacon flight to share; the menu listed the bacon flight flavors (whiskey jalapeño BBQ, roasted chile brown sugar, honey mustard, 4-pepper blend) and the 8 large, thick slices looked inviting but we had no idea which pieces were which flavor. *Management Suggestion: Get little toothpicks or flags so diners know what they're tasting!* That said, while I tried two pieces I thought looked good and I enjoyed them, RC munched through them unaware they were different flavors, lol. My take: they were ok. I also ordered the French Onion soup as I love trying different restaurants' take on it. Five stars for the soup, it was absolutely delicious. A thick piece of crusty bread topped with melted cheese that dripped over the crock topped rich, delicious caramelized onions and just enough beef stock to be able to call it soup. Banging. For our mains, RC ordered ribs with a side of Buffalo Brussels Sprouts. The ribs had good flavor but were definitely not fall-off-the-bone; more like saw from the bone. We both love Brussels but the beef-tallow fried sprouts with Buffalo sauce and caked in melted bleu cheese crumbles were not good. If you don't like Brussels, you might like these because any sprout flavor was overwhelmed by the bleu cheese. For my main I tried the braised Short Rib Ravioli, generous ravioli in a very rich cream sauce then topped with (I think) bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes. I ate one raviolo and it wasn't for me. I thought the filling was bland and the sauce didn't meld with the flavor. I didn't eat it, the manager came to apologize and ask if I wanted something else, but RC was close to finished and I declined. Good on them for taking it off my bill without me asking. Service was five star, atmosphere nice, although the huge flat screens everywhere were a distraction lacking sound or captions. The bourbon selection looked great and I momentarily wished I could try some! :D

We were seated and had a view of the pond or water. Our server, Bryn, brought us a few glasses of bubbles to start while we looked at the menu. Bryn gave us some good recommendations, and we went with the Redstone breakfast. Redstone is known for their ribs, so what else could I choose? I selected a full rack of ribs, and the meat fell right off the bone. They had the perfect blend of BBQ, smoke, and tanginess. The sauce was not runny and stuck to the ribs. I didn't even bother with the fries. The coleslaw was mediocre and was lacking in flavor, but the ribs were heavy. We had a few glasses of wine to quench our thirst and relaxed and had great conversations as we caught up. Bryn checked up on us and made sure we had all we needed and provided perfect service. The bathrooms and restaurant areas were clean, and there was tons of free parking in their lot.

You order at the counter, take a number and they bring the food to your table. Customer service is average. This time we got the steak salad, a side of homemade chips, and a pastry. The salad was amazing and we loved the chips. My only disappointment is that they don't serve lates or cold brew coffee. For having a brunch cafe vibe you'd think they'd want to do this. Thankfully there is a caribou in the same lot.

Dish misrepresented, sticky tables, no flavor. Cute sunny spot with friendly service but food was…read moreseverely lacking. Ordered the Boujee Bene which tried to be an elevated dish of tequila flambéed shrimp ceviche on arepas topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. The arepas were actually bland masa corn cakes, so they were thick and dense with no crispness or browning. I asked the server about this and she confirmed they no longer made arepas but hadn't updated the menu. This could have been forgiven if the rest of the dish had any flavor beyond raw onion and garlic. The hollandaise had no flavor either, and they had no salsas or anything else to add other than tobacco and Chahula. The shrimp was minimal and also bland. There was a corn "salsa" (also bland) so that added some texture, but the dish overall was quite disappointing. My friend ordered the farmers table breakfast and said pancakes and Perkins were better. Maybe other meals are better, but brunch was disappointing.

The service was spectacular we were seated fast and didn't have to wait too long for our food. We started off with the bottomless mimosas which were made perfectly.

I got the boozy French toast, I was a little disappointed that there was no fresh fruit on the menu but the French toast was perfect. The hash browns were a little over cooked for me but overall it was a pretty solid breakfast and we will definitely visit again soon. We utilized a free parking garage during our visit and walked less than a block to dine in.
