Oof. Unfortunately, one thing after another made this a poor experience.Staff presented as uncaring/unattentive. Our server was focused on the coffee bar nearly the entire time we were there. To get our bill and a box, we had to leave our table to ask for it even though we were in front eyesight of the bar and all servers.Atmosphere could be super cool, as it is a old firehouse, but the seating was uncomfortable and even though the restaurant only had only 2-3 other seated tables while we were there, we as a single couple were sat in the middle of tables that were then sat with children.Drinks were poor quality for the price point. Food was decent. However, the kitchen is unable to accommodate dietary restrictions, and our vegetarian order came out with loads of meat. When we informed them that it would be eaten instead of wasted, there was no discount made to the final bill to help offset the mistake.Dietary restrictions: Kitchen can not accommodate.

Wow. What a great experience. Our server Priscilla was amazing. She turned around what could have been a disappointing evening due to a longer than normal wait for our food by offering incredible service which is increasingly rare. The creme brulee was the life-changing. So good.

Super cute place! Got a table for 4 right away on a Sunday for brunch. I loved my Irish coffee I ordered and the gals I was with had a bloody and mimosa. Food came up quick. My friends loved the breakfast burrito and the waffles. I got the eggs Benny and it was delicious! We will definitely be back!

This off the beaten path place has a nice jazzy vibe inside! No booths available but plenty of small table seating. Be patient when ordering!! They weren't fast at all because they actually care about what they serve. Extremely rich and cheesy is an understatement for their options. I personally loved the cocktails they served me! Definitely a great place for lunch or dinner!!Parking: There are open spots on the street in front and they have a nice sized parking lot on the left side of the building as well.

Our group of nine really enjoyed our lunch there, and our server, which was exceptional. The food and mock tails were outstanding, especially the CROQUE MONSIEUR. It was a little hard to hear with our big group, because the ceilings were high, but other than that the building was very cool. The pole they slid down when it was a fire house was still there also and bathrooms were very clean. Will be back for brunch so we can try that menu.Kid-friendliness: Kids would feel comfortable here as it’s open with high ceilingWheelchair accessibility: Everything is in one level and the restrooms were large and clean. No problem with wheelchair access!

I enjoy A-Side for brunch on the weekend. They have a full bar serving all types of coffee drinks as well as alcohol. They also have micheladas on their menu which is uncommon in the Twin Cities. Great food and love all the natural light that pours in from the old Firehouse garage doors.Kid-friendliness: The servers were so kind when we were in with my daughter last. They treated her to a free hot cocoa!

Cool place to eat with being an old firehouse. The menu is a little limited than I expected. I ordered the burger and it tasted great. The fries were also yummy too- nice deep fry to them.

Lovely location, an old firehouse now, a restaurant that has a French influence.Most of the items can be made gluten-free. For those who are allergic to gluten, make sure your server knows you are a cilliac, and they will take extra care.Dietary restrictions: Most things can be made GF.The fries are in a delicate frier, so no cross contamination with breaded items.

Just a quick stop in for a light lunch and some coffee. The coffee bar is awesome with a good selection. I'd recommend they extend this service with some grab/go (or sit) quick items such as breakfast pastries and savories. That would draw me in for sure. We ordered just light salads which were much more than we expected. Good flavor and good price, we thought. I was really impressed with the concise menu, offerings, the atmosphere, decoration and the interactions we had with staff. The only thing that was not quite perfect was that staff was a little slow to approach the table, return, etc... Both of us at different times were turning our heads to see if our server was on her way back. Other than that we were impressed enough to make a reservation for a return visit. The vibe felt good and our food and coffee just hit the spot.

Definitely a popular spot for brunch, so just a kind reminder to grab a reservation. Our server was highly attentive. For me I think they are slightly overpriced though the quality and atmosphere is strong. Craft coffee is quite good to pair with their brunch menu.Depending on the outdoor weather and temperature they will open the large garage doors for fresh air and a new ambiance.Wheelchair accessibility: Very good wheelchair accessibility and ease of movement throughout the restaurant.
Unusual menu, great food, excellent service!
