    Pork Nachos
    Ryan C.

    So Dark Horse has become one of my local favorites as of the last few months. They have been going through some menu changes with the introduction of a new chef. I got the Cheese Nachos on their happy hour menu, which is from 3-5:30 Tuesday - Friday. I added the pulled pork to it. I paid $13 for this during happy hour, and usually this would run $18 during dinner. It was a great deal! Their menu has been evolving with some great flavors, and the service and vibes of the restaurant are on point as well. I would recommend anyone to take their friends and family here!

    First time here at Dark Horse! I had seen a TikTok with the Red Light District pairing (Martini and Focaccia) and had to try it. The server was knowledgeable and attentive. The staff felt cohesive and the focaccia was a real stand out. Next time- I will go back to a dirty martini as I am not the biggest dill fan. Can't wait to try the house made burger next time.

    I met up with some friends before the baseball game. I'm glad we met up at this restaurant, across the street from the parking lot, and they're open again. I came to this restaurant last year and they were closed. The menu offers mixed fusion with asian flavors. Inside the restaurant is colorful, mural on the wall, gold color booths, and plants hung. My server was cool, told us about happy hour specials and gave us recommendations.

    Excellent service. Good food. The chicken sandwich, the Dark House burger, the pizza and wings. All good. Got a table right away for 6. Nice staff. Chill.

    It's cool to see how they remodeled the space. I've been here one other time when it was more of a dive bar summer '24. It's a bit more fancier now. We were attending an event nearby and needed food. They have a few hh offerings which is nice. I think all the food items are $10 and some drink specials. They also have the full menu of course. The menu generally looks good. We had a child with us and he was being a bit picky but settle for wings and fries (no kids menu, which is fine!, definitely a space for the more mature crowd). I got cheesy garlic bread, wontons and ordered the wondrous punch which came in a soy sauce bottle and 3 wontons. The food overall was good and I'd definitely stop by again if in the area. Decor is super cute as well. Service was a tad bit slow at some points but it did get busier as the dinner hours approached. They did have tvs over by the bar but they weren't on. You could see bobs burger playing in the brewery next door via the window reflections, lol.

    What a fun place! We came here to pre game for the Saints game The place is clean, and welcoming. Shout out to Cody, who pulled double duty as bartender and waiter! Super friendly, and attentive and we all appreciated his humor and recommendations. They have a small but enjoyable menu. The hits on our foray here, was there ceasar salad ..liked the cucumbers in the salad. The margarita pizza was wonderful! Followed by their smash burgers....I always appreciate if one can get fried onions. Totally coming back here again.

    Great atmosphere, service, and food! We stopped for happy hour after work with coworkers and everyone enjoyed the drinks and apps equally. The sauce that comes with the peppers is incredible, and it was a nice change to have something other than ketchup for the fries. We all loved the margarita pizza, a perfect sharable option if you're trying a few apps. Street parking (metered) is available, and although West 7th can be busy, there were plenty of open spaces on the side streets.

    Another gem located in the Lowertown neighborhood of Saint Paul! They offer a variety of different foods and drinks but our new favorite is the wood-fire pizza! We love the neighboring brewery Barrel Theory and would often order food for pickup to take next door. Recently they knocked a hole in the wall between the two businesses and added QR codes to order so we no longer have to walk out to pick it up! Super convenient and we love neighborly love! Staff is friendly and service was quick!

    I went here for a wing event and enjoyed myself. Street parking, pretty easy to find. Fun bar atmosphere with a friendly staff. Quick service, food came out really fast, I think because the wings might have been premade for the event. I wish they were made to order but I understand with the demand. Tried a bunch of wings, a couple sides and drinks. It was a good experience. Sadly as of the time I am reviewing, they are set to close their doors in 9 days, so great time to check them out before they go.

    Pepperoni pizza
    Nicole C.

    Was excited to see this place was back open under new management. Sadly the food wasn't what we were hoping for. I had the dark horse burger and it was too salty to eat. The fries were delicious! Husband had the pep pizza and the pepperoni's were also super salty and overall the pizza was greasy and lacking in flavor. Service was decent. Will likely try again as we love the location and will hope for a better outcome.

    A friend and I decided to make a trip here and well another wonderful experience at Dark Horse. This place never disappoints and the food has always been good. The service this time was fantastic and the Prosecco was ice cold. The pizza was a solid 5/5. The Bang bang shrimp I give a 4/5 it was good but the Bang Bang sauce was not the best I have had on my travels but the best I have had in the area for sure. The chips and queso were very good and had an amazing creamy texture that left me wanting more. 5/5. The staff is always kind and friendly and a wonderful place to come hang out. I generally get their wing but decided to try other things.

    Pea Risotto

    This place was alright. We got the kbbq Brussel sprouts as an app and they were DELICIOUS! Had a Moscow Mule with dinner that was beautifully balanced and pretty string without being overwhelming. The risotto I got as my main was pretty flavorless, which was surprising given the beets and peas and veggies in it. I think salt and some seasoning would have gone a long way - but no salt at the table? Not just ours, but no salt at any of the tables. Friend got wings that has the opposite problem - WAY too salty. But the fries with the wings? Delicious. They've got an in-house ranch that's amazing too. Service was pretty solid overall, two in our party had dietary restrictions that they noted on our tickets and extra care was taken with. Which we super appreciated! The vibe of the place itself is moderately upscale bar with a little bit of an industrial/country twist. Definitely a unique place. Not sure if I'd return, but overall enjoyed the visit.

    It was a cool joint. Beet salad was great. Lettuce wraps were good too. Batched specialty drinks.

    Does Dark Horse still serve brunch? Cant find it on the website.

    Yes, they do! I actually have never attended but I heard that it's amazing. I think it's only on Sundays.

It's a really cozy moody interior, with *no big lights* aka great low lighting and comfy seating options. When we went, there were just a few other parties there so pretty quiet. I liked that we had a whole corner to ourselves with a sectional couch of sorts and some chairs. They close at 10pm on a Friday night, which felt absurdly early for a cocktail bar. But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.

Right now, one of their specials is whitefish toast.. if you enjoy fish at all, you need this. The fish is light and fresh, they put fresh dill on top and it is placed on top of some toasted sourdough bread perfectly. The fish is flavorful, a lil earthy and I feel as if there are capers or olives in in the fish mixture, whatever it is is fire! The burrata, beets, and citrus is a nice lovely, fresh, light app, the burrata is perfection with the beets and fresh, juicy citrus, drizzled with some oil and random pieces of garlic mixed in, YUM. I suggest ordering bread on the side with this one! The wings here are a staple and always delish. Crispy, hot, and coated perfectly in a light sweet chili sauce.. they hit the spot everytime. The housemade ranch is a perfect dipper. The other day I tried the chorizo and scallops... oh my goodness gracious.. it was a lil spicy and creamy with the bean puree and the scallops were buttery, light and divine! 10 outta 10 would do again. Finally, got the goat cheesecake, gluten free ginger snap crust with poached pears. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want this now and in every lifetime! The cheesecake was light, yet decadent, deep, creamy with a light, unassuming flavor. The crust was delicious and the poached pears added that perfect fruit component. I got Liam as my server both times, he was helpful, attentive, had good suggestions when asked questions and didn't interrupt at all, amazing! This is the spot for any occasion!

A political refugee from Venezuela, Chef Soleil translates pieces of her upbringing into elevated dishes that feel deeply personal. Each plate draws from the people, places, and moments that formed her, quietly transporting you to Crasqui--the tiny island off Venezuela's coast with sandy beaches and clear blue waters that inspired the name. Our Christmas Eve dinner was special not just for what was on the table, but for how it felt: warm, unhurried service, thoughtful pacing, and an atmosphere that invited you to stay awhile. Our table had the pleasure to indulge in: - Seafood Empanadas: calamari, shrimp, white fish & squid ink. - Rompe Colchón: shrimp ceviche in pineapple-habanero leche de tigre with house-made cassava chips. - Croquetas de Chorizo: potato fritters stuffed with leeks, garlic & chistorra chorizo. - Venezuelan Christmas Dinner: *Hallaca (corn dough filled with pork, beef & chicken wrapped in smoked plantain leaves); *Pernil (slow-cooked pork leg in malta & red wine); *Pan de Jamón (bread with raisins, smoked ham, green olives & cane sugar syrup); *Ensalada de Gallina (chicken salad). - Mochima: Mahi-Mahi stuffed with crab, parmesan & herb crust, sambuca beurre blanc, cilantro oil. Luxurious in texture and deeply satisfying, with each element clearly considered and working in quiet harmony. This dish was memorable for all the right reasons. - Dulce de Lechoza: Green Papaya dessert served with Vanilla Ice Cream. - Christmas Hug: their version of a Holiday old-fashioned. - Mulled Christmas wine What truly sets Crasqui apart: it is the only Venezuelan fine-dining restaurant in Minnesota, one of just three in the U.S., the only Venezuelan rum bar in the Midwest, and proudly 100% Latina & female-owned! Definitely a restaurant worth adding to your dinner rotation!
