We were very excited to try the Ramen and it was decent overall. The noodles and GF noodles were good. The eggs were perfect! The broth was good but lacked depth and was over salted.
The most disappointing part of this first time experience was the service. There were maybe 8-10 people there at lunch. It was not an enjoyable experience. Thankfully one waitress helped get the attention of our waitress to close our bill.
When one of our gift cards was declined the waitress did not explain why, only that there was “no button” to do the transaction. Then proceeded to invite us back for another meal and assure us the owner would be in at 2 to look at the button. We wanted to like this place but for $40 for two bowls of ramen and the service we got we won’t be going back. Oh and they charge a 3% credit card fee even if you don’t use that.

Food took forever for food to come for not even 50 people in the restaurant. It was way too expensive for food that was not good at all.

I googled “best place to eat in Alexandria” and Garden Bar on 6th came up as one of the top choices. We went with it and were not disappointed. Kate was our server and was wonderful. She directed us to many options and we landed on burrata, steak and chicken with a cheesecake follow-up. Everything was amazing! We will be back!

Stopped in for a late lunch. Enjoyed the Korean BBQ shrimp, sunfish and ahi tuna poke bowl. All well prepared and presented. The perfect ending was the Meyer lemon tart. Worth it to return just for the tart!

The wild mushroom gyro was incredible. All ingredients in everything we tried tasted fresh and high quality. Excellent service and a lovely space. Their menu had a ton of variety, so there's definitely something for everyone here. The price was very reasonable for the quality of the food.

If you're looking for something a step up from bar food, with a bit of atmosphere, this is probably your best bet in Alexandria. The food is good and it's got a nice upscale vibe. The servers are nice and they try hard.

I did not expect to come all the way from CA to get Eclectic California Bistro food in MN, plus fried sunfish for a starter. Food was so good and menu so varied that it was quite a nice experience. We shared a Korean Sandwich. Others were really impressed with the adult grill cheese and soup special and the ramen bowls were popular too. Fries cooked perfectly and very nice bar menu too. Definitely recommend although service was a bit slow. There was a large lunch crowd on a weekday and lots of delicious looking platters of food coming out of the kitchen.

In Alexandria for the first time for a work conference and thought this looked like a cool place to check out. The food was excellent. I got the Brussels for an app and The New Yorker for my dinner. The goat cheese in the Brussels just, made the dish. And the sandwich. Not gonna lie, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The bread was the perfect level of toasted, the pastrami was excellent, and the caramelized onions added that hint of sweetness that played well with the pastrami and the vinegary kick from the pepperoncini. I already told my husband we'll have to make a day-trip back sometime so he can try it too.

Cute place! Drinks were good, Food was great but lacking dressing on ceasar and gyros. When we asked for a little more we were charged for it after we waited 10 min. Edamame was inedible, very tough and stringy. But the 1/2 club was great and quinoa was great!
