What's changed since my last recmview is the rooftop area, which I didn't use today (-17 out) & I hope wasn't actually open! The rooftop seating is great, tho it does get rather busy. I should note this still isn't the place to come for a solid craft cocktail- rather, exactly as is implied, it's a decent place for a game & average brews. Neither are really my calling, so, I don't see myself becoming a regular- tho I will come in periodically for a visit to the 1 of 2 rooftops here.

You know in the first sip that you're drinking a liquid work of art! While they're happy to make you the absolute best of your trusty standby drink, you'll do your palette a favor by stepping out of your comfort zone and letting them create something truly miraculous.

I called the restaurant to inquire how soon a table of 4 could be seated around 5:15 pm on a…read moreSaturday evening. I was told there was no wait, so great! We headed to the restaurant and got seated immediately. My husband and I ordered drinks, which for me included a dirty martini with extra olives. The drink was tasty and the extra olives were very welcome. The appetizers were very tasty. Although it was the first time I had bruschetta and the bruschetta was not on the bread when we got it or finely chopped. I must say though it has very good flavor. The poutine fries were a delight and seasoned well! The dinners were a bit of a let down for all of us. My son ordered his burger medium rare and it came well done. My habanero honey chicken sandwich was underwhelming. The chicken was dry and the honey habanero sauce had no "wow" flavor. I would say the atmosphere of the restaurant itself was nice. We might come back for an appetizer and drink but, we will not be ordering dinner. For the price compared to quality, it just was not worth it, sad to say.

We had a large party [11 in all] and most ended up going up to get their own drinks, after waiting for quite a while. All orders were correct. I can't believe I am about to say this, but.. I could do without the bacon on the bloody mary... and I love bacon, both on and off of my bloody mary. I am not sure I would classify what I was given as bacon. There are menus available to order from another business. Be aware that bills will not be combined as it is 2 different companies. (Not a big deal in my opinion, but may bother some.)

The waitresses here all look mad and upset for some reason. They were not friendly at all. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left. Soup on the salad bar was not properly refilled. We were there at noon and one of the soups was out? We were told they would not be refilling it. Also, that they only make one pot of soup per each option of the day? Lucky us! Keep this in mind when making your lunch decision.

My parents really wanted a salad bar and this place definitely had a great salad bar/soup bar they were looking for. So they walked away very happy. I got a buffalo chicken sandwich, it was good...not great...not bad...good. The chicken was a good size peace of chicken and the bun was great, I just couldn't put my finger on what would make it outstanding. Just missed by a little, wasn't disappointed in my choice but I wouldn't get it again if I make my way back to Minot I would choose something else.

The bar wasn't very busy, but I ended up sitting there for quite a while without being acknowledged. After waiting a bit, I decided to head out. It was a little disappointing, especially since this has been one of my go-to spots when I'm in town. Hoping it was just an off moment, but not the best experience this time.

Been awhile since we have came here, nothing has changed. First our server Alyssa, she was pretty…read morebad. No drink refills, no silverware or napkins, no check. All of these things we had to ask for. It was dead slow with under 10 tables being served in the family section. Spicy wings with no drink refills is fun. She took our order, brought our food and that was it. When she dropped the check off she didn't say a word and just dropped it on the table. We expected a "thanks for coming in guys". First time in years we left a $0 tip. She was the worst server we have had in awhile at any establishment. Next, this place is the chipotle of wings. Smaller and smaller portion sizes every time we come. Menu prices keep going up, portions go down. $11 for 6 bones wings that my children don't get full on because they are so small? $17 if you get a side. Absolutely bonkers. This is exactly why we stopped coming here and started going to wing and rings years ago. At least you get large wings for the price. Lesson learned. Maybe we will try again in 5 more years

Food 2 Service 1…read morePrice 3 But the sangria was decent... New Year's Eve, 630ish as a party of 5. We had called ahead and were advised to come as walk ins as it wasn't very busy. We were seated rather quickly and given menus / asked for drink orders that's where the positives end. The drinks came 20min later (650) & the gal still wasn't ready to take our food order. About 10min after delivering drinks (7), our food order was taken. Now, I know this isn't fast food but it isn't a scratch kitchen either. I've no doubt staff had called in/taken off with it being NYE. Still, it was over half an hour before the food came out (745)- of course drinks were gone by now. One patron asked for water. It came with the rcpt an hour later. We had braced ourselves for the worst after watching 2 other tables return food & seeing who I presume was a manager come offer to make things right for another table, with the patron having refused the food/replacement. I had the chicken wonton tacos app, that was ok. My hubs ordered the fiesta chicken and it was inedible. I'd guess it had been sitting there since before we arrived. The rice was dry & crunchy, yes, rice that you could hear the crunch from. The dish was also at room temperature. We attempted to flag down the server for our bill right at 8pm (we had a 9pm event, which is why I was watching the time). She said she'd be there in a moment then cleared 2 tables and disappeared in the back. At 815, she came back to the table - I just handed over the credit card and advised we were ready to pay. (We had not complained, we didn't send anything back. We really just wanted to go at this point.) She placed the card on the table and said she'd be back with the bill. It was now 830 and we were starting to get pretty annoyed. This is about when she showed up with the bill, laid it next to the card and started to leave. I said "hold up" and handed the card/bill to her stating that we were ready to pay. She hesitantly accepted the bill and card, then went to clear a table, instead of to the till. She stopped by and dropped off the requested water. We were laughing in awe at this point. 855pm... it was 855pm when she brought the card back. It was steady, but not crazy busy. I cannot fathom how it took 630-9pm, 2.5hrs to eat at a fast casual restaurant. One round of drinks & one order of food, which was old & crusty - plus, we were ready to order on arrival. We thought we were going to need to kill time, as we thought we would be too early for our 9pm event with 630pm dining - instead, we were over 15min late to arrive... sigh
