Gist is an amazing gem of a natural wine shop located conveniently in downtown Sioux Falls. I…read morestumbled across Gist on one of my many visits to Sioux Falls after struggling to find a bar or wineshop with a comprehensive natural wine selection. Gist's wine selection is impressive, and the owner is actually a sommelier which is not usually the case at a small wine shop (especially outside of major U.S. cities). If you're in Sioux Falls and like wine, you must stop by Gist.

I knew right then I was in for a good meal, but I had no idea that I was going to be eating a piece of steak that was like butter in my mouth amazing flavor. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly not too much Gorgonzola just the right amount of black pepper, cream and butter I give it a "10" our server Addie was top-tier. She recommended delicious wine pairings with everything we ordered. The prep on the muscles was like nothing I've ever tried, but it was really spicy and delicious. I will definitely be back. The atmosphere was lively. A musician was playing the guitar and played my favorite Alicia Keys song. came over and talked to us. She was lovely introduced herself. A very friendly place to spend a Saturday night with friends.

I love how the servers are knowledgeable about their wine so they give really good recommendation. The pasta was amazing as usual which always hits the spot.

I love the atmosphere as it is very elegant and charming. Highly recommend! 4.3 stars!

Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. The interior was nicely decorated with a good variety of seating. I grabbed a spot on the couches, but it took a very long time to get any service. Honestly, the service was awful. It really felt like they needed at least two servers on the floor to keep up. We were ignored for quite a while, so I eventually got up and asked for a menu at the bar. When we were finally ready to order, it took just as long to get the drink as it did to get someone's attention. I'm not sure if the bartender was new or overwhelmed, but it wasn't a great experience. On the plus side, the wine list was impressive. I had a Riesling, which was delicious, you can't really go wrong with wine. We ordered a small margherita pizza, and when it arrived, it was cold, heat-lamp for a while sitting cold. Our server (Ben, I think?) never checked in after dropping it off, and honestly, it didn't even feel worth mentioning at that point. We ate and left soon after. It may have just been an off night, but the service was bad enough that I'm not in a rush to give it another try.

The music was very enjoyable and the food was delicious. We sampled a variety of items including bruschetta, pizza (the one with hot honey was amazing but definitely had some kick!), sea scallop risotto and the rigatoni. Everything was great! The only downside is the cocktails are quite pricey so sharing a bottle of wine is the way to go instead. Definitely check it out!

Sure, they are brand new and are still getting their feet underneath them (like every single new place on earth), but this place has all the makings of a classy wine bar. The aesthetic is beautiful, the people are excellent, the food was delicious, and the wine flights were expertly arranged. I know... it isn't expected to find a kick ass tapas bar nested in this side of town in a wellness facility of all places... but hear me out!! If you would like a quaint, tucked away evening with exquisite service and an escape from the standard bustling ubiquitous sports bar out here... this is the place. Yes, it may be off the beaten path, but it is an undiscovered oasis of fresh modern elegance in this part of Sioux Falls. You could, absolutely, take your friends to someplace like Tinners... but, what if you actually wanted some atmosphere... and actually liked your friends? What if you actually wanted the location to give a positive impression?? Thalia is a much needed breath of fresh air in south Sioux Falls... we will be back with friends.

I started with the chicken chopped salad which was huge, nicely dressed and full of craisins, apples and all the normal stuff. Could be a meal in itself. My clients were happy with their choices.

Staff are friendly enough though not the most informative or personable encountered & I like the brewery itself. I love that they have a cheese fridge, meaning they're probably aware cheese & beer go GREAT together. They do allow samples, tho you (I) feel pressured to pick & get out of the way for the next person to order. This is a place that I need just accept being "that girl" to sample before ordering, even if it's something in my preferred categories. It just seems to be about a 50/50 shot as to hit or miss. Of 20 brewery visits, this was the only one that had a DNF beer. We agreed 1 of the 2 selections was a total loss & dumped it. Since it was bogo, no financial loss and we weren't upset by it. It was simply a miss. That said, the other selection was good (50/50 eh)

As a west coaster, I thought we had the lock on cool tiki bars. I was pretty wrong. Hello Hi…read moretakes tiki up about 3 notches. I mean, the legit standards done very well, home versions of standards, some great concoctions of their own, the BEST design for your own atmosphere wants too. Booth? They have that. Cool bar? Yep. Hightop to people watch from? Got it. Corner stage area? Sure. Separate intimate room with cool tiki decor? That too. So, you can have cool tiki place (seen a few of them), you can have an on point cocktail game (tasted a few of them), and you might have good service (experienced that too). But all three in one place? Rare. All three as perfect as you can get? Super rare. I would have said only in CA, but, Sioux Falls has it in The Hello Hi. 100%, the best around.
