“I had the Ruben yesterday & it was the best Ruben I have ever had. The chicken wild rice soup was incredible. The atmosphere is beautiful. My vanilla latte was perfectly created. I WILL BE BACK & Bringing friends and family. How did I not know this gem existed so close to home ?”

“The food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly and so welcoming.”

“My wife and I went to Bricksworth Beer Co. for the first time early this Saturday afternoon. The weather was beautiful, so we sat out on the patio. It took a sort while to get approached by a server, even though there were only 4 others on the patio. Eventually I ordered their stout, and my wife ordered a soda. After the drinks came the server noticed us again later and asked if we wanted to order food. Other people started arriving elsewhere on the patio. We noticed a total of 16 people, and 2 servers. After ordering food, the food was delivered, the server asked if everything looked good, and left. That’s the last time we saw her. My wife intended to order a cocktail, as did I, BUT by the time our server stopped socializing with everyone on the patio, we had finished our food and were ready to leave. We asked for the check. It’s amazing what a bad impression poor service can leave on a first visit, even if the food is actually tasty. We might go back, but we’ll sit at the bar next time to see if the bartender cares about us.”

“I’m working on a project here from Tennessee when a coworker took me to Buon Giorno for lunch. As soon as you walk in, the fresh bread aroma is amazing. On my second visit to the Pasta Bar, Kyle the Chef actually remembered what I got the week before. The made to order pasta is awesome and make sure to get the fresh bread that goes with it.”

“Incredible staff!! Some of the best and kindest service, the one boy, name started with H I believe but I can’t recall for the life of me, was simply outstanding.

However, it was piping hot in that building! I needed three extra waters just sitting in there! Crank the AC!”

“Looking for exceptional and unique experience for an event? I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream! Everyone loved having Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream for dessert at Semple Mansion with Positively Charmed Boutique Wedding & Event Decor for October's themed event with 70+ people at Twin Cities Wedding & Event Professionals. It was wonderful working with Tim at Cold Stone Creamery Thank you!”

“The husband took our 4 year old and 7 year old to eat dinner there today without me. He ordered 1 kiddie bowl of pho and a 2nd kiddie bowl of broth and meatballs only. They charged him for 2 adult phos (16.00 each= 30 total) ontop of the regular entres he ordered (75.46 total). We've been dining there almost once a week for the past few months spending close to 100 each time. Very disappointed and show no value to loyal customers. Never returning.”

“Pizza, wings n salad are awesome and prices are reasonable. Thank you for an awesome dinner!”

“just we had a bad experience yesterday. my husband ordered the el pastor with corn tortillas the waitress comes back with our food and said they ran out of tortillas and they had to make some, and does he still want them of course he does after about 5 mins we stopped her and she says the cooks don't want to listen to her. so about 8 mins later she comes back with 3 tore up looking tortillas. we go to pay the bill mind you I left a 6 dollar tip even tho she took ten mins to greet us and ask if we needed drinks. my bill was 51.52 I gave her a60.00 she asked if I needed change. I said yes she then pulls a paper and try to subtract 51.52 from 60.00 she gave me 4 dollars back I was already home when I counted the change she gave me back”

“The younger guy with brown hair was awesome. He did all the work while the other worker didn’t even help him. That guy deserves a raise! Even with him being by himself he still had great customer service. I hope he gets recognized and that other worker shouldn’t work there if she’s not even going to help the person doing all the work out. I hope he sees this or management recognizes him because he deserves it!!”

“Daily specials via the McDonald’s App. Very friendly staff and good customer service. Best run restaurant in this franchise system”

“We had a fantastic date night at Joan’s! Highly recommend! The food was incredible. Perfect pacing, portions, wine pairings, and the flavors have you closing your eyes to experience each bite. One of the best meals we have ever had. Our server was thoughtful and friendly. Great dining atmosphere. We will be back!”

“We were here for dinner over the weekend and everything about this place was phenomenal we tried multiple things off of the to share or not portion of the menu and loved every bit of it. The whole grilled fish our waitress mentioned rotates depending on what is available fresh and it was cooked to Perfection and probably our favorite thing all weekend. The cocktail menu is unique and everything that we had the opportunity to try was delicious I highly recommend doing the cocktail flight to anybody who doesn't have a favorite spirit. Staff was incredibly friendly and knew what they were talking about if you had questions. To those looking at going here reservations are a must!!!! Great atmosphere as well”

“I have been here many times. I love the food. They can back from COVID shut downs pretty strong. \nThe crab ravioli is my favorite.\nI miss the pre-Covid half portions.”

“Amazing food in a comfortable setting with great service.”

“Liked the food and service a lot, but it was so loud! I reserved patio seating thinking it would be quieter, but the hard surface of the canopy traps all the volume under it. I was disappointed and probably won’t go back.”

“Delicious margaritas, fresh food, awesome staff!”

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️”

“I can’t begin to say how much we enjoyed our dinner here. Highly recommend it!”

This is the perfect spot wether you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or just want to try incredible food some place new! I will be back soon with my mom just because I think it's so magical everyone must experience it. Bûcheron is a must!”

“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite”

“Everything we’ve had from Nixta is just so good. More than once we’ve said “this is the best ______ I’ve ever had” about various menu items. Cant recommend enough.”

“Excellent experience from start to finish! The service was genuine and amazing. The food was beautifully plated and delicious. The pricing and portion sizes were perfect for the quality. We went for our anniversary and were congratulated multiple times by different staff. Will be back for sure!”

“I drove by this hidden gem weeks ago and finally was able to stop in for lunch today. I gotta say that this is some of the best tasting food I have experienced in Minnesota since returning home. I tried the Picadillo meal which was perfectly seasoned and not over salted like some places do. The rice was a perfect consistency and a freshy made salsa added a little kick to the meal. The customer service was top notch and I will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. A+++”

“We've been several times, food and service have always been excellent, recommend the mussels and the Cassoulet.”

“My kids just treated me to a birthday dinner at Italian Eatery! It was a fantastic experience all the way around - food, service, and atmosphere. The entrees were delicious (we ordered a variety and shared!), and my dessert - the crostata al limone (a lemon tart) was out of this world! This was my first time at Italian Eatery. I’ll be back!”

“Zakia has wonderful, healthy, tasty food a well sized menu. I go here for work with my co workers. The service is fast and friendly and the food is amazing.”

“Hyacinth is a keeper. Creative food, well prepared, small but extremely well chosen wines. Portions were large, a bit too large in my view. Hyacinth is one of the few restaurants in the post Covid dining world that is daring to show us how innovative dining can be done.”
