    Rueben sandwich
    Lu Z.

    The restaurant has a very quite environment. The patio is cute. The Reuben is the best around. The pasta and the burger are both great! The ahi is a little disappointing. It looks great and the dish's flavor is great! HOWEVER, the fish does not seem fresh! It has a weird taste afterwards!

    Fried Salty things

    The theme of this restaurant is unclear from the menu, maybe the interior makes it make sense. The burgers are smashed-style as I learned from the Black and BlueJack Burger. The patty was thin and dry because all the juices get smashed out. The blue cheese mousse and marbled blue-jack cheese packed a lot of flavor and the roasted onions and tomato (!) really added a punch. I just wish the burger had been less done so it was at least a little pink; did not stop me from eating every bite. The Cup of Elote Corn Chowder was really good, a play on Mexican street corn with hot sauce and cilantro on top. Rich, a bit spicy, and very filling, it was scrape-the-bowl delicious and I'd definitely get again. Fried Salty Things were definitely for sharing because the portion is large. The fried pickle spears were really good and the fried olives were even better! What a surprise and something I'd love more of. The "cheese curds" are chunks, not curds, and I honestly couldn't tell what they were. They were spongy and basically empty inside when you take a bite. I didn't finish them. Finally the Mediterranean Wedge was odd because the flavors didn't really combine well. A split romaine heart with thick blue cheese (?) dressing just on top, kalmata olives, roasted tomato, plain artichoke hearts, pepperoncini, pickled red onions, feta, and a lemon dill vinaigrette that tasted like cilantro lime and really did not fit. It was okay but not a combination I liked. I ended up eating the vegetable accoutrements separately. Overall a very good first impression of the food and I'm interested in visiting the restaurant in person for that Elote Corn Chowder!

    Decided to stop here to grab a quick bite while in the area and were pleasantly surprised. From the outside and the ambience, it doesn't seem like it will be much. However, the food and drinks were excellent! I rarely find myself in this part of town, but commented stopping back when I an. Decided on the Elote Chowder and some cauliflower wings. The chowder was incredibly filling. It is definitely a thick chowder. I ended up using the leftovers more like a dip. I loved the cauliflower wings. They were delicious and crispy and used huge pieces of cauliflower, rather than tiny bites that get burned. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area!

    Not sure why I haven't been here before! Resident of downtown Hopkins and it's so close. Some may think it's a Brazilian steakhouse or fancy from the outside but it blew my mind away! They just updated their menu a few days ago and the owner, Kevin, is also the head chef! Incredible, creative, delicious food at a great price! Cute decor with fireplace, 2 patios, tvs - love the atmosphere! Our server, Karen, is a local and super helpful! Would love for this place to grow and get the attention it deserves! Will be back again and again!!

    My wife and I were out for our weekly Saturday new restaurant lunch and we decided to try this new restaurant out, Brazin. It used to be Woody's and it right next to the Optum headquarters in Minnetonka off of Highway 62. The place was pretty empty for noon on a Saturday, but they had a full bar and a good beer draft list. I ordered the 21st Amendment Blood Orange IPA from San Francisco. My wife wasn't hungry and got a tea and I ordered a Cuban with a Caesar substitute for my side, my "Go to" It took way longer than it should, like 20 minutes, especially for only having 8 patrons in the restaurant. I ordered a side Caesar instead of fries and it was all delicious. The bread was perfectly grilled and had a couple of nice hunks of bacon and solid ham and a lot of Cubans don't have enough mustard, this one did not disappoint! Lot of good stone ground mustard. Lots of pickles and the side Caesar was good size with some roasted tomatoes and freshly shaved parmesan. Worth the wait. Server was nice enough, a little slow, but it is a new restaurant. Maybe getting the hang of things. He id check on us a couple of times, which was nice.

    My husband asking the staff to please bring back breakfast service back during the week days when they feel they are ready.

    Hey, give this place a try. They just opened about a month ago and they said they want to make things right. I think they are on a great track. Number one. They have friendly and positive staff. Number two They were asking for our input about our dining experience. That takes gutts to welcome that! Number three It REALLY was a great experience. I know my review seems really "simple" but please look at my pictures/captions below and I believe you might see how my dinner went tonight and you might also decide to try this place. Jessica W. was our server and she was perfect. Fine value. 4 of us adults ate and drank for $124. We sat in the bar area...the lights could have been dimmed slightly but not a deal breaker. Cheers Kevin Champlin-(Chef/Owner) We will be back and we will tell our neighborhood friends (West Edina). Annette

    My friend and I sat at the bar for a Tuesday night Happy Hour and we had a nice experience. The bar tender was welcoming and greeted us kindly, told us about Happy Hour, shared the menu with us, and said he'd give us a few minutes. We both chose our drinks easily and perused the HH menu, which included an item called Chips & Dips! This was kettle chips served with three of their popular dips: Minnesota sushi (pickle/pastrami in it), French onion, and Elote! When the bartenders answered came back we asked about the dips and he said they are popular, so we went with it. While we waited for that and chatted, I looked around the medium-sized restaurant and felt cozy and warm. Not just because of the holiday decor. The restaurant has an inviting backwoods type of atmosphere. When the dips came I almost forgot to take a picture they were so good, so were the kettle chips. I also ordered a margarita and really enjoyed it! Overall, my time at the bar during Happy Hour was great and I look forward to coming back for a meal!

    This place is new to the area. We were seated immediately and the hostess was very nice. The menu has some interesting selections. The atmosphere is a Europe pub combined with a steak house. The food is spiced well and has amazing flavors. It is a little pricey for my tastes it's worth it.

    Caesar salad
    Carli S.

    Went to Brazin for a quick weeknight date night! We made a reservation but it wasn't too busy! We sat out on the patio which was so nice! They had a huge beer and cocktail list which was very nice. The staff were very nice and helpful. For dinner I ordered a Caesar Salad and a couple of chicken wings. The flavor of the wings were great but the Caesar salad was just okay. We also got a side of fries which were very good! Overall the food was nothing spectacular but pretty good! I would come gain and maybe order something different. Lots of parking and right off the highway so it's easy to get to!

    Delish!! Great staff. Great food & cocktails. Fun atmosphere for a smaller restaurant. I definitely will be back.

    The ambiance is of an upscale restaurant with an open kitchen. The wait staff were friendly and welcoming. The Alfredo had just enough flavor the herbs and spices blended well with the sauce. I would highly recommend it. It is a little pricey but definitely worth it.

    Walleye tacos
    Steven D.

    We didn't know that they opened 5 days prior when we walked in, but the bartender let us know that they are a newborn. We were fine with that and we saw that they were slammed inside and out - almost every table was full. I do have to question why they let every table be seated when they don't have staff and procedures ironed out. Because of that, service was slow. Bar tenders shouldn't be serving tables. The Hawaiian BBQ flat bread was very bland, we couldn't taste any sauce at all. There were no pickled onions, we didn't taste or see any cilantro or the Chile honey. Only big chunks of pineapple, large jalapeños and some pulled pork. We told the bar tender and she gave us a side of BBQ sauce which made a huge difference, but it was a huge miss overall. Flatbread seems hard to mess up, but there you have it. Walleye tacos were good, flavor was good, but not spicy. It had been years since I was at the previous establishment, but the interior didn't seem very refreshed. It will be a decent "local" for people nearby, but after the first look, it won't be a destination restaurant for us.

Beckett's in uptown and Meteor Bar in Northeast are great examples of bars, both with food, that consistently go later no matter what. granted they are both in Minneapolis, so different customer base. come here, support this local establishment! they are good, just not great though they could be!! p.s. yes i am writing this from the bar, and just an update: my bill confirmed their happy hour is NOT running tonight. :/ granted the bartender never said there was happy hour and those menus weren't out, so i suspected as much. but i came for the happy hour, including food, and got neither. first world problems for sure!
