This place is an absolute GEM in the breakfast world. It is the ONLY place in the twin cities, that…read moreI have found, where I can get a great coffee as well as a great breakfast. Every. Single. Time. That doesn't even cover how wonderful the staff there is! Just really great people who are keeping it real. No parties larger than 6, this is a hard rule and needs to be respected. I have seen people argue with the owner. It's a small place and he values his staff so much that he will not opt for income over his staff's mental health or stress level. I admire that so much. All the more reason to take your close friend and enjoy a real down to earth local business!!!

We started with Ahi Tuna Crisp appetizer - we substituted the cracker for cucumber. This twist makes it so fresh. The sauce is a bit tangy and avocado balances the tuna. So yummy! I opted for a cheeseburger - very good smash burger. I have had the Double Double in the past and that is probably my favorite burger with two smash burger patties, cheese and special sauce. Can't miss on the regular fries. Crispy and delicious!

Also tried the strawberry Fresno margarita. Yum. Didn't eat much food other than munching on a few fries of my friends, but I'm sure it's great. Loved stumbling upon this place on our recent trip.

Went for brunch, can't wait to try dinner!…read more Let me start by saying that I loved the decor. As a plant mom myself, I loved the real plants and the wallpaper complimented the ambiance perfectly. Brunch was busy so service was a bit slow but the food came out quick and hot! I honestly loved everything but I think the Johnny cake was my favorite. The mushroom omelette was very flavorful with the Brussels sprouts and caramelized shallots. The French toast was uniquely different with the cognac whipped cream- more like a dessert! Can't wait to get back to try dinner!

My friends and I went to visit here for our monthly restaurant night and it just happened to be a…read morevery snowy night. There was only one guy waiting tables and working the bar and he did such a great job on such a snowy night. We started with some apps; the French onion dip with homemade chips, loaded fries and Brussel sprouts. Those were all tasty and I enjoyed the homemade cheese dip that was on the fries and wanted to eat it with a spoon. We then each got a burger; funny is that we all chose a different one. We like to stay and chat and catch up about what has happened since last month so we decided to order dessert. My two friends each got a slice of pie and I only wanted a bite of my sisters pie and made a joke that I only wanted a bite and the waiter over heard me and he actually brought me a small slice on the house; he was so nice and I wasn't expecting that at all. It was such a nice booth that we were in and the restaurant wasn't very busy so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. I could sit there for hours and just chat and relax. I can't wait to go back and try more food next time.

Living in the cities for over two decades, I think I've heard the most about this burger. I had…read morehigh expectations, but left felling... meh? The service was friendly, but frankly slow. It was hard getting drinks or refills. They were out of sausage and turkey for their breakfast items, but willingly made adjustments to their dishes for free. Three of us got the burgers in our group and only one of us thought the burger lived up to its reputation. Apparently I'm a burger snob now. I still don't think I'll find one better than Saint Dinette. (RIP )

The service was impeccable from start to finish. Everything felt really intentional and well timed. The food was outstanding. The rigatoni was a standout with an incredible sausage that was honestly to die for. We also had the soles de pollo, a chicken ravioli with fresh vegetables in the sauce, and the flavors were amazing. For tapas, we ordered the patatas bravas and rissoles, both were delicious. Such a thoughtful touch when they brought out churro bites at the end as a thank you. Amazing food, top tier service, and a really fun but romantic atmosphere. Definitely a spot worth going out of your way for

The weather was just right where we didn't get hot blazing sun nor rained on. I got an IPA and my friend got one of their mixed cocktail. Their cocktail were all premade and came out of the spout like the beer. It tasted good too. My beer was delicious. We sat on the balcony overlooking the water and just relaxed and drank. Inside the place, there were plenty of seating and even cornhole. There was also a food vendor inside. Bartender was friendly. Order at the front and grab a seat.

We also ordered an assortment of desserts that featured cheesecakes and fudge. The food was so-so.

This place looked like a solid spot for some classic bar food and it did not disappoint! Upon walking in you're greeted with a small but charming pub, but as you continue to walk, the back opens up to a large parking lot patio with full sun! We ordered an old fashioned and a beer to cheers a new job offer I had received, then Fish & Chips, and the Porketta Cubano Sandwich. The meals were hearty and cooked well, very large portions, and hit the spot. I love the addition of giardiniera to add pops acid to break up an otherwise meaty & cheesy sandwich. We street parked behind the building in a residential area and walked to the restaurant. If you're looking for a great patio, standard, yet slightly elevated bar fare, and good vibes, this is a great spot! Note: the patio had lots of bees.

I had the fish and chips it was amazing. Super crispy fish very meaty and not separated from the batter. French fries are frozen fries the kind I really like. My husband had the shrimp tacos I stole the shrimp as I don't like all the rest of the stuff on there it was amazing. He really liked his tacos. My friend had the porketta Cubano and she went for the spicy giardinero she said her nose was running but it was totally worth it. The sandwich was very good. She had fries also. Highly recommend this place It is a little pricey. But good ingredients are expensive
