Food was amazing. Service was fantastic. Atmosphere can’t be topped. Genuinely can’t recommend this place enough
Parking: May be a little difficult to decide where to park in the lot, the lines are pretty faded

This place has a cool vibe, and the hostess and server were nice, but that's where the goodness ends.We showed up for brunch, and there was only one server doing her best to take care of many tables. We ordered a pitcher of mimosa and saw the bartender pour it with a couple mostly empty bottles, which was certainly less than a full bottle of bubbly. The pitcher was then flooded with juice, and it tasted like flat orange soda. We decided to leave after that because it became clear that value and quality were not as important as profit

our bartender Eli was AMAZING. we went in wanting an espresso martini, even though technically there wasn’t one on the menu. when we asked about it, they (Eli) so graciously made us one anyways with their own expertise and from what they had in house. I think it was cold brew and some tequila, and let me tell you - it was delicious!! I absolutely will be returning. loved this place when it was The Mill and still love it now as Half Fancy.

I love the place and feel people should stop in and support. The pho is flavorful and portioned perfect. The egg rolls are on point and get better and better. The sesame chicken is probably one of the better ones around.
Cool place with good and different menu items. Food was great and service was really good too. Price was decent too being unique type of menu and place.
Parking: Parking lot is small but plenty of free street parking also if needed.

I added a 4oz steak to a beet and arugula salad with pistachios and a balsamic dressing. The cheese (thank stars not bleu) was somewhat bland against the mineral greens and beets, which were delicious, both gold and red. The steak was tender, medium rare. This is a very large and densely nurishing salad but may need citrus as a bright pop against the mineral body.

Ordered takeout. Cobb salad only had 5 pieces of lettuce. Scallops were tasty but the polenta cake needed more flavor. Truffles fries were excellent.

Wasn't our first choice... Eli's Northeast was closed due an electrical outage. Found this by googling BRUNCH NE MINNEAPOLIS and it was the first to pop. We knew The Mill but not this place... but what the heck. Waited 30 minutes for a 6-top, not unexpected. Waitress greeted us promptly and warmly. Orders for drinks given but took 15 minutes to arrive. Food order taken, but food was 40 minutes away. As it was not super busy, I didn't understand the delay. Pancake had to be returned due to a granola topping that contained nuts, server suggested loudly that the nut allergy could have been made clear before ordering, we suggested that the menu could have been clearer about the ingredients. Potatoes were bathed in a goat cheese dressing, which some of us liked and others did not. Again, description and disclosure as to ingredients and presentation would have been helpful, or even a choice- with or without? Goat cheese is not everyone's cup of tea, and I would have preferred mine without. Probably won't be returning.

Food was very tasty and service was good. I enjoyed the Caprese burger. It had fresh mozzarella, basil and tomato jam. The tomato jam was a bit too sweet, but still an excellent burger. Truffle fries were excellent. Also had the dirty cheese curds which were seasoned with a sweet chili rub. Again tasty but a bit too sweet.My son enjoyed the Ecuadoran Baked Egg dish with Adobe and Mole black beans and corn tortillas.Music was too loud inside so we sat outside on the patio.

I was excited about the menu. Decided to give it a try. Took my family of 7. SUPER long wait for food, although the place wasn’t very busy. Not sure what the cook looked like but our waiter had a full beard & mustache. Found hair in my food. Never going back.

I hadn’t been here since it was The Mill so we went back on a whim. Did not regret it! The food was amazing and the portions are very generous. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Amazing pet-friendly place with a variety of food and beer on the menu and great music in the background. I ordered chicken wings and Mexican wheat beer. Our waitress was polite and friendly, would definitely recommend to visit.

Neat little NE place on Central. Good food, great service and fun ambiance. The only gripe is how long the food took once we ordered. But, in their defense, the place was packed. So it's just a tiny gripe not even worth taking off a star. But worth mentioning if you're in a hurry on a Sunday brunch time/ early afternoon.I will return for sure.
Parking: Small/limited parking lot.
