The shortrib sandwich is a savory change from burgers. The lavender wink cocktail is a wonderful craft herb refreshing cocktail worth the price.

It was clean with nicely spaced table and booth seating.
Food was good overall.
Service was good.
It felt a little boring and sterile at times.
Maybe it was just me..... 🤷

Just finished dinner at the Better Half to try out the new after dark menu - 100/10 recommend! We had the ahi tuna stack, miso sea bass, and the lobster pasta (can’t remember the name) and everything was INCREDIBLE. We wanted to order pretty much everything, it was so hard to decide! I would officially consider this one of the best menus south of the River - can’t wait to come back and do another round of taste testing until we make our way through the whole menu! Shout out to Michael our server - he always goes above and beyond (I somehow always end up in his section 😂 and he is fantastic!)

Enjoyed a salad, service was generally prompt, it did take us a bit to get seated while tables were getting cleaned.

Parking: Hamburger was great all around. Our group ordered all of the burgers! Delicious!
It was a pleasant find for a new restaurant within 1/2 hour of us.

First impressions means a lot! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, but the hospitality was right at home. All that aside, Sarah has to be the magic of hat binds it all. She made us feel like we were old friends coming to visit. We laughed the whole time and the portions were plenty. Couldn’t believe how good the food was considering how fast it arrived. I’m a Chicago native and Arizona resident, this almost made me move back to the Midwest.

First time here for dinner.
Our server was delightful.
Food overall satisfying - crab cakes okay, appeared to be deep fried, need to be a bit more crabby - caprese flatbread was very good, with added chicken, excellent flavor and crust - cumin honey chicken was excellent, with tasty whipped potatoes and asparagus.
Nice wine and beer selection too!
We will be back.

I wanted to like this restaurant because I am a Lakeville resident and I want to support our businesses. However, my walleye entree was very dry, overcooked with too much panko breading. My mashed potatoes were lukewarm and the asparagus was tough and stringy. Unfortunately , our server never returned to ask if everything was alright with our meal. I normally do not post, but I was very unsatisfied with our experience.

The space is a little crowded but the staff does their best to make it comfy. The breakfast foods are very good. Haven't had lunch yet. Coffee is well worth the price, drinks a little high. Good place.
