Trip 2. Got the smoked gouda fundido, it was amazing! He got the bacon burger while I went with the cherry limeade long Island haha and the black garlic burger. The fries are so good and the burgers were sublime. Service was down to only 2 people for the whole place but they handled it very well. Always a good place when you want to feel fancy!
First of all, I’m still fairly new to the area and did not know elevation is inside of a country club. One of the nicest golf courses I’ve seen.
My party ordered drinks, appetizer, and variety of items on the menu and they were all great across the board.
When my steak arrived the server wanted me to make sure they were cooked correctly. Well, one side of the cut was more of a medium well than medium I asked for but I didn’t want them to take back my food and id have to wait around while my friends ate. So I wish they would’ve got the steak correct the first time. But they did give the option to re-make the steak which I personally didn’t opt for.
The ribeye itself was tasty nonetheless, the seasoning was great and the sides were delicious. I got the garlic parmesan mashed potatoes and the brussel sprouts the server recommended and they did not disappoint!
My guy friends appreciated the selection of cigars they had available, once they chose their cigars, the server brought out the cutter and the tray outside by the fire pit for us.
The outside area was a treat! It was as if I was sitting somewhere else other than Minot. It was overlooking the greens and beautiful estates surrounding it. Now I know this is the nice part of Minot.
I’m definitely coming back here for brunch on saturdays and sundays I think the time is 10-2. And they have bottomless mimosas according to the server!
The atmosphere is very relaxing and flexible staff with a can do attitude was refreshing. One improvement I would humbly suggest is to hang an awning/sun covering over the patio area for UV ray protection.
We came about ten minutes earlier than our reservation and were seated immediately. We didn’t have to wait for glasses of water, and within about eight minutes, our server was there asking for our drink orders. We don’t drink alcohol, tea, or coffee, so the only real options were soda, lemonade, or juice (grapefruit or orange juice I think.) I chose Sprite/7Up with some lime, and my husband chose the lemonade. Unfortunately the lemonade tasted horrible (too sour & watery), so our waiter apologized & brought him a glass of Sprite with no hassle.
We ordered the Mozzarella Pesto Bruschetta to share for an appetizer. I loved it, though my husband was just okay about it. He said it wasn’t worth the $12 price tag, but in my mind, it was delicious, classy, and I didn’t have to make it! I loved how the crostini was lightly toasted & not hard toasted, which made it strong enough to hold the toppings without hurting the roof of the palate. I also enjoyed the use of halved grape tomatoes instead of sliced roma tomatoes – again, this made it much easier to eat. The fresh mozzarella balls are a favorite of mine, and the pesto sauce was divine. Probably the only thing I would have added would have been a little sweet balsamic dressing drizzled on the top or included on the side.
For our main entrees, my husband ordered the Chipotle Blueberry Glazed Salmon with a side of fries, and I ordered the Creamy Pesto Steak. I adored every bite of my pasta dish. The penne pasta was cooked to al dente perfection and the succulent steak bites complemented the creamy pesto sauce, with neither flavor overpowering the other. I don’t recall the parmesan breadcrumbs, as listed in the menu; perhaps they were included with the mound of diced & seasoned tomatoes on top.
My husband first ate his fries and sauteed zucchini, then let me try some of his salmon. I was surprised that the glaze wasn’t very spicy (a good thing for my mild palate!) and didn’t taste like blueberries as much as it tasted like a sweet teriyaki sauce. It was still delicious, just different than what we expected. Again, my husband expected a larger portion of salmon for the price (I’m guessing it was about a 5 or 6 oz piece), but the whole plate was enough to fill him up.
I had read online that Elevation offered a free dessert for anniversaries and birthdays, and sure enough, our waiter said we could choose any item on the dessert menu. We chose the Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse. I didn’t notice till later that it wasn’t the “Chocolate Peanut Butter Crepe Cake” as pictured and listed in the online menu – perhaps they had an issue with the crepes that week? Still, it was beautifully served in a clear glass cup, with a mound of whipped cream (cool whip style, not real dairy whipped cream) on top. Again, kudos to the chef for making a delicious menu item where the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter complemented each other perfectly with neither one overpowering the other!
As for our server, we had absolutely no complaints. He was friendly and attentive, coming by several times to remove used plates and refill our drinks. Like I mentioned earlier, he replaced my husband’s lemonade with no problem. And when the bill was brought, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was comparable to dining at The Olive Garden!
My only main suggestion would be that they offer a few non-alcoholic “mocktail” options for drinks. If they did, I would visit again during happy hour and order another Mozzarella Pesto Bruschetta!
