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.

Started with a few glasses of wine and a beer, all on point. Then came the food. The mussels were really original. They came in an Italian sausage sauce, thicker than your typical white wine broth, unlike anything I've ever had with mussels before. A little salty, but the mussels themselves were good quality and it came with bread for dipping. For the main, I had the rigatoni with chicken, which had a somewhat similar sauce with great flavors. Both dishes showed some real creativity in the kitchen. But what really sets R Wine Bar & Kitchen apart is the environment. This place has a vibe. I ended up meeting some cool people traveling through from Tennessee and had some of the best conversations I've had at a bar. Really friendly people all around. That kind of atmosphere can't be manufactured. The Verdict: R Wine Bar & Kitchen is the real deal. Great food, great wine, great service from Samantha and Jaxson, and an environment that turns strangers into friends. If you're in Sioux Falls, try it out. Five stars, absolutely worth it.

Ethan was an incredible bartender and made an exquisite dirty martini. Seriously, if you love a good dirty martini, don't skip it. The fries were off the hook, and the atmosphere struck the perfect balance of classy, comfortable, and fun. One of the highlights of the evening was learning about the building's history and hearing about the upcoming live music that performs downstairs in the cozy speakeasy. It's definitely a reason to come back again. And a huge shoutout to Leo, the waiter, he is the bomb! Friendly, attentive, personable, and he genuinely made us feel welcome. If you're looking for amazing cocktails, great food, outstanding service, and a place with character, Myrtle's is a must-visit. As a newcomer to Sioux Falls, this is exactly the kind of local gem I was hoping to find. I'll definitely be back!

Had an okay time at Brix. It was my first visit, and to be honest, I don't see myself coming back…read more I arrived on a Wednesday around 5 p.m., and it was surprisingly busy, which initially had me excited. 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.

Do you want to get in on the ground level of a hidden gem of a bar in south Sioux Falls? Of course…read moreyou do! Why the hell else are you on Yelp, for christ's sake??? This place is awesome. 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.

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)

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.
