We had a 5:30 rezzy on a Saturday night. I was the first of our party of 4 to arrive- and was sat by a guy who was not welcoming or friendly. Once we were all sat- it took about 8 minutes for the server to greet us. The person filling the water glasses was there way too much- filling our glasses when we had barely drank out of them- that was odd. When our food was brought- the plate looked like something would serve to my kids at home. Totally underwhelming- no garnish- not attractive- and the salads were all overdressed. The service was pretty good, overall- but the experience was average at best. I suspect they won’t be around for more than a year or less.

A good location in South Minneapolis. Food choices aren't vast, it's more of a place to enjoy libations and a conversation. I really enjoyed their crispy chicken sandwich and mocktails. It was presented very well.
They also have a cute kind of hidden patio. The design of the location was very thought out.

We are visiting from Texas and had an incredible experience! Such a great little place and gorgeous patio. We brought our dog and were met with kindness, they brought her water and treats, and everybody stopped to say hi. The Old Fashioned was a perfect fall drink, and the Luna Burger was an INCREDIBLE combination of flavors that I so enjoyed. Perfect poach on the eggs benedict as well. I have nothing but good things to say. Thank you to our server, Kimberly T, for amazing service!
Dietary restrictions: Were able to accommodate gluten free needs. Can't speak to cross contamination, but the gluten free bun was soft and delightful!

We've been here twice now and found the food delicious, the staff personable and helpful and the atmosphere relaxing. The cocktails were delish (negroni, gin n jam) and the beet burger with fries was very satisfying. We sat on the shady patio because it was a gorgeous evening. Our wait person was excellent.

Not sure why this place is not rated higher, everything was great. I went there around 4:30 on a Tuesday and it was busy. The entire staff was helping one another out with customers. Great food and drink with an outstanding staff.

We had dinner here last night and I never leave reviews but our server Troy was the best! He was very knowledgeable with the menu and gave us tips on their crafted gin drinks and gave us the best service! The beef tartare was delicious and so were the drinks. The atmosphere was nice and a great date spot, we will be coming back to try the rest of the gin + jam mixes. Troy was really the best with his warm and inviting energy, he really enhanced our first experience here and we will definitely coming back :)

Beautiful patio, plenty of street parking nearby, delicious food and drinks, super friendly staff, funny dog paintings... What more could you want? Great brunch spot with friends. The interior has huge windows that can roll open to let the outside into the dining room. Gin and jam cocktails were so fun--the jams are fabulous. Loved my simple breakfast and the beet burger my friend ordered. The donut holes and cheesecake were excellent additions to our meal.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options!
Parking: I usually just avoid Nicollet and park on a side street. It wasn't hard to find a spot at 11am on a Saturday, but maybe at dinnertime it would be harder.

Great craft drinks, the gin and jam drinks are amazing. A little pricy.
