Brunch menu
Holly H.

Came here for brunch on Saturday morning. Got a booth right away. Service was flawless and the ambience is cozy. The menu was fine - but uninspired. Mostly just your standard go to breakfast items. Hubby and I both got the poblano omelet - it was solid and did the trick, but nothing to write home about. Great location in the Graduate hotel on campus. Wish I could give a 3.5.

Bar area
Aimee K.

Really good food! Great local tap beer as well as a complete bar with lots of other beer and wine choices. Wonderful service by a SMART and hard working bar tender - Ava. Had a great chat! 10 TVs at the bar with every entertainment option available. On the first floor of the historic Graduate Hotel on the U of M campus. Check it out!

Walleye dinner
Don J.

Fun bar and restaurant inside the quirky Graduate Hotel, just off the Green Metro line. Through the main entrance, take a right and go all the way to the back, just past the shuffleboard table. Small but good selection of local and national draft beers. Basic selection of liquor with a few specialty mixed drinks. I ordered the Camper's Walleye dinner. Coated in Ritz cracker crumbs and served atop a wild rice and vegetables pilaf with spears of asparagus, the fish was delicious, and didn't really need the tartar sauce (fortunately served on the side). Eclectic crowd at the bar on my weeknight visit included undergrads, grad students, business people and a pilot from Iceland Air. Kitchen closes at 9 on weeknights, but bar stayed open for an hour later.

Fish & Chips
John W.

Ate Friday night here while staying at The Graduate . Delaney was our server and she was absolutely amazing. Great attitude and very helpful. Loved the decor and music in the restaurant too. I ordered the pork belly at the recommendation of Delaney and it was too notch. It is on the small plates but it filled me up completely . Soft tender with some spice to it. My wife got the fish and chips and Delaney was kind to get it pan fried without the batter for my wife. Only complaint was that it was chips with fish because it was three small pieces of fish. Needed to be at least one more piece of fish. So, service and pork belly - 5 stars. Decor and atmosphere 4 stars and fish and chips - 3 stars for a average of 4 stars

Breakfast with the kid
Angie S.

The Good The food was fine. We came for breakfast. Small menu makes for quick choices. We had a breakfast burrito and a breakfast San which with hashbrowns. Both were good. Food was fast. The Bad No host at host stand and no indication on whether to seat yourself or not. Another patron actual went to find the waitress and couldn't find her. When she came out, no real greeting (hello or good morning). Just table for 2? And sat us. Did not ever inquire if we wanted coffee or anything else to drink at 7 am. Did put water on table. Once food was delivered, never came back to check on us. Wanted ketchup for our hashbrowns so we went and found it ourselves. Meh.

Comfy couch spot
Annette N.

Very impressed. I was attending an event at the Alumni center last Saturday night and wanted to enjoy a glass of wine with a friend prior to going next door. We sat at a bar high top and then a host came over and asked if maybe we wanted to move to a couch seating area.ok with us. We returned later after the event for a beverage with people who were staying at the hotel and they also had good things to say about their stay.

Herb fries and chips
Nancy N.

This restaurant was inside our hotel and we're so lucky that was it! It's a great place for brunch or to hang out after a night of debauchery! It's really a place for everyone! :-D The restaurant is very hipster chic, drinks were good and service was well "hipster service" (very laid back, i.e slow) lol but friendly non the less. They have FOUR different types of fries, the herbs were the most popular and my favorite. For girls (or guys) who likes sweeter drinks I'd recommend the Romeo or Juliet. I forgot what the husbands got (Whiskey, Rum?) but it was very strong.

Scrambled Eggs with Hashbrowns and bacon
Lori R.

We really enjoyed this place in The Commons Hotel (loved the hotel as well). I can't imagine anyone going to Applebees (which is connected to the hotel) when you have this one-of-a-kind gem! Drinks in the bar...nice! Breakfast...awesome! We were seated in a very comfy booth and had an excellent Server. I can never eat a full order of eggs benedict, so I was thrilled when they told me I could get a half order, even happier when they said I could have spinach added, and extra happy with hashbrowns instead of country potatoes. Husband is not the biggest breakfast-lover, but he sure loved his perfectly cooked scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and hashbrowns. Nice coffee for him and nice tea for me, and we were happy folks!

Great stop for a date night! Had the steak and it was really good. The herbed peppercorn butter made it pop for sure.

We were visiting Minneapolis to attend a concert and wanted to find a nearby breakfast spot. Hen…read moreHouse was a five minute walk from our hotel, so we gave it a try. The restaurant is quite large and super cute. We were greeted and seated right away. The walls have fun little things written in chalk and it is very bright and cheery inside. We received the menu and waited a bit before our order was taken. We did not need to wait long for our food to arrive. My daughter and I ordered the same thing with slight variations--Two Eggs, Potatoes, and Toast. I chose the Hen Potatoes which were amazing! Tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside--not greasy at all. My daughter had the hash browns, which were just as good--not greasy, but perfectly crisp and flavorful. The seven grain toast and jam were great and our scrambled eggs were cooked just how we like. My daughter also ordered a fruit cup, which was filled with a bigger variety of fruit than she expected and she loved it. I ordered a side of bacon and it was delicious. While the food wowed us, our service was just okay. She was polite enough, but did not check on us until we were well into our meal. Thankfully, we didn't need anything. Our check and my payment were dealt with promptly, which we appreciated. We also ordered a caramel roll to go and were very glad we did. Super tasty and not overly sweet. If you are in the area, stop in. You will not regret it. The prices are higher, but it is worth every penny. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area.

Friendly, popular place with good food…read more Herbie Sandwich The basil in the pesto comes through strong, in a soft croissant, not sure what the non meat pattie is, it's ok. Sandwich as a whole was yummy. Crispy hashbrowns on the outside, the inside were tender Farmer's Wife Omlette fluffy but the bacon is too thick, so it's not crispy, i ended up not eating it the toast was burnt, i passed on that as well Staff are very friendly but note it gets busy

Looked so good!! Fresh orange juice is a huge bonus. What I am used to in Mexico and love!! Ordered simple egg, 2 meats and hash browns. Eggs looked fresh and tasted good. Bacon was thick but next time will ask for a bit crunchy. Hashbrowns were browned crispy. I had pancakes added for a small price as pancakes and french toast is a specialty they are known for. Light and tasty and they have "MN maple" which was delicious. I will come back again and try a Mexican breakfast burrito. I feel like that is going to be my go to. Counter service was excellent. Ambiance is local neighborhood vibe.

Dropped into this mom and pop while I was in the area bourbon hunting…read more It appears to be a neighborhood go to. Lots of elderly friend brunches and moms with young kids. The ambiance has character Braved the texmex on the menu and ordered a barbacoa burrito. Just didn't want the pancakes omelette or French toast I think most people review on. In looking around burgers are very popular as well Back to my burrito. It's a big ass burrito. The ingredients work although it's nothing traditional about it.barbacoa is really good. Seasoned well, the amalgamation of beef, black beans , radachio, cheese, what I think is basmati rice and bell pepper works It's served with a sour cream and a creamy hot sauce on the side...I was also offered ketchup (OMG Minnesota eww) I turned it down.

Everytime I've tried something here, I get a stomach ache for couple days, especially their old tasting desserts. 1st time stomach I thought it was just a fluke. Third try & 3 stomach aches later from the same place here & you're out of my books lol. Never again, No clue how this place has any business. I'm so glad more places have opened up in NL. Especially the Bellecour restaurant, the desserts there are 1000x better than the days tasting old crap that is served here at SnS. The interior is gorgeous, however, the entire establishment is a 0/10. I would not recommend this place to anyone. What an embarrassment this place is serving bad food to patrons. I recommend spending money at Porzana, Bar La Grassa, Bellecour... anywhere but here. This place is a joke for food. So embarrassing!
