The person that served us was awesome and very friendly!
We were able to get happy hour apps and we tried the wings and the mini antipasti.
My husband liked the wings, but wished there was more sauce. He said they were cooked well, but needed more flavor and more sauce would have helped.
I loved the mini antipasti. The bread was delicious especially with the fig jam and fresh mozzarella. I didn’t care for the pickled peppers, but my husband liked them.
We split a margherrita pizza and it was pretty good! Not the best I’ve had, but definitely far from the worst!
For dessert we tried the lemon ice and the vanilla gelato.
The lemon ice was way too sour for me, but my husband liked it. He said it did have a strange bitter aftertaste though.
I didn’t care for the gelato. The texture was odd and it left a weird waxy texture in my mouth and there were globs of I think milk fat in my mouth after eating it. Not pleasant.
We took the leftover pancake to go and snacked on it all afternoon.
It is a bit pricey, but eating out is already pricey, and I’d much rather eat at a place where they try and source their food locally and support local farms and businesses.
We came with a group of eight, and unfortunately the seating was uncomfortable—our table was small and the benches weren’t great for a longer meal.
On the positive side, our waitress was friendly and very efficient. The food, however, felt underwhelming. I had the salmon scramble, but it mostly tasted of chives and I could barely tell there was salmon in it. The coffee was good, though.
Prices are average to slightly high for the area. The atmosphere is calm and not too noisy, which makes for easy conversation.
Overall, I’m not sure I’d return—maybe on a quieter morning or with a smaller group, the experience would be better.
The Creole Market Hash with homemade turkey sausage was my favorite, and my southern husband was seriously impressed by the Poutine. So good we came back twice in two days. A true Twin Cities treasure—we’ll be back whenever we’re home!
