Place was lovely! Seated immediately. Served a drink immediately. Water came quickly. Ordered edamame while I waited for my dining partner. Wow- they were delicious! Then ordered the pistachio crusted walleye BLT with extra lettuce. That was a serious sandwich. Very good but pistachio didn't come out. Everyone attentive and I loved the communication. They had a large party coming in and I had been "camping" while waiting for my dining partner. We agreed to be done before they needed to set up versus changing tables. All good!

I have been SO excited to try this place as i always drive by it and dream about their cute patio!…read more My friend and I stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a spot on the patio. Their patio is SO cute with lots of plants, a great atmosphere, and the perfect vibe. The service was also excellent--our waitress was super attentive, checked in often, and gave us some great recommendations. We both ordered vanilla iced lattes, which were good but a little too milky for my taste. For lunch, I got the Thai Peanut Salad, and it was exactly what I was looking for--fresh, flavorful, and light. My only complaint is that I wish it had a bit more protein to help balance out all the veggies and make it a little more filling. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back to try their breakfast and dinner menus. The cute patio alone is worth a visit!

Absolutely loved this place! Excellence all around! This place checks almost every box…read more Great outdoor dining area- it was a little too windy to sit outside today, but will for sure be back to enjoy the summer patio. Can't beat the views and the parking if you're lucky is pretty close, but no problem to walk to this place. Inside seating is just as nice with great views. Service was exceptional! We had the absolute best server who was just amazing! So outgoing and made the visit enjoyable. Just an absolute delight and I heard others complimenting his as well. He really made our Mother's Day brunch enjoyable. Food was great: Mediterranean chop salad looked amazing and was said to be very good. Eggs, bacon and toast were good. American breakfast- good potatoes. Breakfast sandwich was good. Amazing sauce on the arugula. Breakfast tacos were also said to be good with really good tortillas. Bloody Mary was pretty good. It didn't have all the bells and whistles with it, but it was a great spicy flavor. This place is a gem and checked all the boxes. I am sure it is quite packed in the warmer months. Excellent music playlist and clean restrooms. Highly recommend this place!

Love Pub 819! Stopped in with a few friends to enjoy the nice summer day on their patio. The front…read morepatio is all at a slope, so pretty uncomfortable depending where you sit - would definitely opt for the back patio if wanting to again. Our server was friendly and food was quick on a busy night! I love the vegan chicken here - I eat it every time im here & im not even a vegan!! The tater tots are also just such a good treat. The ahi tuna seems to be our second favorite and gives a really large portion! Love the variety of options here and the friendly service. Cant wait to stop back in!

Whoa. I've been such a fan of Craft and Crew. Since the manager at The Bloc in SLP helped my family…read morewith a to-go order in February that was beyond amazing, I have been super loyal. Every time we eat out I suggest a craft and crew spot. I bought gift cards. I ordered catering from Duke on 7 last week. Today I went to Pub 819 with my 4 lb chihuahua...and suddenly I was treated like a problem customer. Because of my dog, when I've checked in at the front, they sent me around the outside to the back. So I've been adamantly respectful of that. When I told my family I was at Pub 819 and they should order Friday dinner to go from there, they trusted me. When my brother in law pulled in at the back of the restaurant in the rain, I stepped in to bring them their food from the front. The manager of Pub 819 came running along the route to the back entrance and took my fresh drink out of my hands. I told him I was following their orders to walk along the outside of the building to the back so I didn't walk through the restaurant with a dog. He said "we were cutting you off anyway." Ummm...what? That was never even an issue. Very random. I wanted to bring business to a local operation. So much for good intentions. I was humiliated. He took my drink out of my hands as I was trying to bring my family their food. I wasn't going to argue with him so I just left. It was an awful experience that completely soured my view of the Craft and Crew family. I tried to support local, but I ended up embarrassed in the alleyway looking silly.

George & The Dragon is a super cool restaurant that my hubby and I tried for a double date night…read morewith our friends. We came on a Monday night at 6:15pm. This place does get busy so definitely keep that in mind. Luckily I made reservations ahead of time so we had a table waiting for us, otherwise we would have been put on a waiting list since it's a small space. They put us in a corner booth which was nice and spacious enough for 4 people so I'd definitely recommend asking for a booth verse a table if you're planning to come with a larger group. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. I appreciated their attentiveness and sharing what they like best, especially for what's in season based on the time of year. The menu has quite a bit of variety too which is sometimes unexpected when you come to a pub-style location. For appetizers we got Onion Ring and Fried Pickles. They were both really good and served with dipping sauces. Definitely both shareable items so if you're in a group they'd be great options! My entree I chose the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon served with lemon soy marinade, creamy cucumbers, and jasmine rice -- it was SO good!! I loved the creaminess of the cucumbers especially with the rice and than the lemon soy marinade was just a unique touch to the salmon. Toned the flavors down without overpowering acidity. And the salmon was so dreamy, a beautiful pink color that you just knew it wasn't a farm raised salmon. Plus the portion was very generous!! I'd definitely recommend the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon to anyone interested in visiting here. #eatwildsavewild The only negatives (which are more so just knowledge bombs for you): * Restaurant is VERY loud. It's hard to hear because it is one small room that everyone plus the bar is in. I wished I would have took a picture to show what I mean. Just know that if it's an intimate setting you're looking for this is not the place. So be prepared to talk loudly over the loudness and ask "excuse me?" or "repeat that" many times throughout your visit because you're not going to hear everything. * Timed eating. Because this place is a hit with limited seating, once you get a table and complete your meal/payment you'll kindly be asked to leave so that they can clean up and open the table to next in line. Totally get that and am not put off by this at all, but I could see how it could catch some folks off guard especially if you are out for a meal with folks you may not see frequently-- so just keep that in mind. This is not the place to sit and talk post meal. * Parking is limited. Be prepared to walk a few blocks as the road parking in front of the business is pretty limited especially with the other stores and restaurants in the area. Regardless of those few bullets I highly recommend folks visit George & The Dragon. It's a really cool spot and the food was great! Plus theirs a malt shop right next door that looks yummy too, so definitely worth visiting and getting malts after for dessert.

Good Day Cafe was a wonderful experience for breakfast on my recent visit to the Minneapolis area…read more The restaurant was very busy for brunch, but was very clean, very vibrant, and staff was extremely welcoming to our group of 9. For breakfast, I ordered the Payslie's Favorite Eggs Benedict. This meal comes piled pretty high with guac, tomato, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, and is served with a side of their delicious homemade breakfast potatoes. It was very filling and very delicious, and honestly one of the better eggs benedict dishes I've had in recent months! To finish off, we ordered some of their beignets. While they weren't quite as good as real beignets from New Orleans, they were a perfect sweet treat to end an already wonderful meal. 5 stars all around! Highly recommend!

Over all the ambiance was very good, but the patrons were very loud. I think that's just what happens in a place with no noise buffers. The German pancake was very good, dense and egg flavored. The lemon and syrup was a great combo. The mushroom and spinach omelet was delicious, definitely a joint to share entrees!

Our drinks were perfect, timing was a on point. We had a cozy high booth near the bar and it worked just being 2 of us as we got ample people watching. When we attended, the menu was slightly modified due to the staffing shortages that were happening across Minneapolis the presence of ice. However, there were just a few items that were removed, the menu was still mainly intact. There were 2 items my husband had his eye on (Jambalaya and another dish) that were not available, but based on what we experienced, we will totally be back. I got the roasted chicken and found it delightful. I'm looking forward to returning.

Seating consists of a mix of booths and high-tops, plus a few tables and bar seating. Service was very attentive and competent, but I just wasn't impressed with the menu offerings. I use Reuben sandwiches as my benchmark for these types of restaurants, and while it was certainly tasty, the bread, grilling and composition are not quite up to my standards (which doesn't mean that I didn't eat the entire sandwich, but I did save half of it for lunch the next day, which is unlike me). Beer offerings are middle-of-the-road, while wine by the glass was sub-par. We would certainly return if friends wanted to meet there, but there are better places in the Twin Cities for American-style food.

The green beans were really good and well cooked with just the right amount of crunch still as well The restaurant was pretty empty so we were served very quickly so that was great, and the restaurant interior was perfectly clean as well.

Update: They do serve latte's and cold brew!…read more The food is always excellent here and they have a lovely outdoor patio. The inside is well lighted with natural light. You order at the counter, take a number and they bring the food to your table. Customer service is average. This time we got the steak salad, a side of homemade chips, and a pastry. The salad was amazing and we loved the chips. My only disappointment is that they don't serve lates or cold brew coffee. For having a brunch cafe vibe you'd think they'd want to do this. Thankfully there is a caribou in the same lot.
