After choosing our items, my husband did the ordering, and I picked a table. We ordered La Firenze and La Venezia. They only had half of La Firenze left, so I got a cup of soup - Wild Rice. They have "help yourself" water, so I went and they were out. The counter was super busy, so I waited. I went again, it was still out, so I asked for some. The lady was helpful, but sarcastic (I'm SUPER sarcastic, and I've found it doesn't work well in a service environment. I have to just be straightforward and nice.) La Venezia was SO GOOD!! La Firenze was good, but nothing compared to La Venezia-it's flavors kind of explode in your mouth. The wild rice soup was okay, it had lots of wild rice, which was good, but the flavor was a little dull. The extra seating area is really nice - has lots of light, well decorated. We enjoyed our time in there.

Good Life Cafe is truly Park Rapids' best-kept secret! This incredible, modern spot has quickly…read morebecome my absolute go-to whenever I'm downtown. Whether you get their Crispy chicken, or Falafel pita, Chicken Wings or chips & dips ...YUM! If you appreciate quality food, genuinely great service, and amazing drinks that are made exactly the way they're supposed to taste, do yourself a favor and go here! Everything feels elevated, fresh, and thoughtfully done, while still having that welcoming small-town feel. Once you discover Good Life Cafe, you honestly won't want to go anywhere else in town. I call it my little slice of heaven in Park Rapids -- and it deserves so much more attention! An absolute must-visit.

Our waiter, Mitch, made sure we didn't want for anything the entire time. We started with the chips & dips. The smoked Gouda cheese dip and guac were memorable--the chips and salsa were not. The BLT with thick cut peppered bacon was scrumptious, but the chips were blegh. I had the beet and basil salad and all I can say is I was looking forward to the goat cheese but because the lettuce wasn't torn/cut enough, you tussled with it on top (and that was after hacking through the beets) while you eventually discovered they rubbed the goat cheese on the bottom of the plate like a dirty little secret. The music, booths/tables, and ambiance were great, so we'd probably give them another try.

There are less than 150 original soda fountains left in the entire USA. The Minnesoda was a totally original historical gem to the Park Rapids area and no longer exists because of thoughtless shameful owners. This was no minor change as Trip Advisor and Yelp try to claim. Look at the old pictures from just 4 years ago. DESTROYED the original fountain. They could have opened a NEW shop anywhere else in town but the new owners and the city decided to delete the history of Park Rapids. How sad and heartbreaking. They should have taken pride in preservation. SHAMEFUL!!!

They have a lot of different specialty food items such as tea, oils, snacks, and healthy additives like flax seed, etc. There were tables to sit at and more seating around the back corner, but I didn't take a look at the food/drinks/snacks that were available on our visit. We had just eaten next door at Bella Caffe, so we weren't looking for any more food at the time. I've heard the food is recommended and is very good, so I'll check that out next time, this time was just shopping.

The service was top notch. We were asked several times if we needed anything. Not all places have good customer service these days so I appreciated that. Fries were good, crispy and a lot.

In fact I heard their pizzas are fire so will be going back, before I leave, in two days to see for myself.

I had an opportunity to try Tavern 203 in Nevis this weekend. I've heard good things from family…read moreand so I thought we'd give it a try. We wanted to start off with the scotch eggs, but they were not temporarily available so we had the fried pickles which came very quickly. I am a pickle fan by nature and the fried pickles were good. They came with a spicy sauce which was a find complement but a little too spicy so we got an order ranch dressing as well. My understanding is the pickles are a little thicker than they used to be, but I was fine with what we got. Shortly after getting the appetizer we placed our order for entrées. Unfortunately, this is where things deteriorated, apparently due to problems in the kitchen. The entrées were delayed by 30-45 minutes. We eventually got a side salad and a Caesar salad. Neither salad was anything special, but nurishing. The artichoke pizza finally came and was quite good. The pizza was an artichoke and spinach paste base with chicken, caramelized onions, and mozzarella on top. This was hot and flavors a lot of artichoke, chicken, caramelized onion, and mozzarella were all distinct. The tavern burger that came next was plentiful and tasted good, but was slightly overdone from the temperature requested. The tater tots with the burger were warm, but could have definitely been hotter. The service throughout was mostly attentive, but clearly struggling with the kitchen service issues and didn't have much to tell us through most of the meal. The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded and they had plenty of seating so I don't think this service is typical and I think we got there on a bad day. Had we been given an option a half hour into our seating we might've skipped the entrées and just ordered more appetizers if they had been quicker.
