The bad: Once you get over the cool glasses you realize that you just paid 13 dollars for an absolutely packed glass of ice. GF Couldn't even get a sip out using a straw on the first pull. By the second pull, beverage was gone. Way overpriced for what you get which in essence is a tall glass of ice with a splash of booze. Sad.

The experience here left me underwhelmed. I have been looking forward to coming to Parker's bistro…read morefor quite a while, my friend and I stopped for a couple appetizers while feeling a little peckish. We got the Chislic, and the cheese plate. The cheese plate was pretty disappointing, the cheese looked like it had sat out all day. No major flavor profiles, a basket of basic crackers to go along with it and olives. For the cost of a cheese plate I expected to be relatively satisfied with it. No fruits, jams, breads, spreadables (1). The fluidity of the dish was very stale, as well as the freshness. The Chislic is some of the best that I've had, having travelled far and wide, I can say without a doubt this is so far my favorite out of 18 countries and hundreds of restaurants. Our waitress seemed incredibly green, didn't seem familiar with the menu, upon checkout, added an erroneous item to our check, which I would've missed had I not gone over it, overall, I was disappointed in the visit that I had at Parker's bistro. I had had high hopes for my first visit, and was hoping for this to be a new favorite restaurant downtown. Wonderful ambience, absolutely stunning Chislic, great drinks, and warm staff regardless.

At the Carpenter Bar, the lights are low, there is minimal seating, and it's easy to just slow down, sip on your drink, and enjoy your evening. If you're looking for a Busch light or a vodka Red Bull, this probably isn't your scene, but if you appreciate the finer things and attention to detail with your spirits, definitely try to get a table or a seat at the bar here. I will definitely go back. This Three-Quarter Nelson cocktail is essentially a whiskey sour with a little amaretto softening the spirit and adding such a delicious nutty element to the drink.

The menu has a good variety of options with some being unique items such as the Kansas City Hog Wings - one of my favorites! The Jack Rose Burger is also a great choice. A take on the traditional American Burger with some flare. The tap beer rotation is also nice. My favorite is the New Belgium 1554 dark beer. It is not a stout or bock but tastes like one so if you like dark beers, give it a try.

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.

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)

You'll probably hear me say this repeatedly throughout many of my Midwest reviews, but my husband…read moreand I really are not naturally "bar and grill" type people. In all the many years we lived in Phoenix, despite dining at hundreds of restaurants across the Valley, I can honestly remember us regularly visiting maybe one true bar-and-grill style establishment. Then we moved to Sioux Falls. And suddenly we found ourselves surrounded by them. =) So, we are trying our best to adapt and experience the local dining culture the way the locals enjoy it. We came to Tinner's Public House because a large group of our friends absolutely loves the place and wanted us to join them there one evening. And honestly, because we were surrounded by good company and conversation, I still wound up having an enjoyable night overall. The restaurant itself was busy and lively, with that familiar neighborhood gathering-place atmosphere that many people clearly enjoy. As for the food, however, it unfortunately didn't leave much of an impression on me. The steak I ordered arrived overcooked and drier than I would have liked, the salad lacked that crisp fresh quality I was hoping for, and the clam chowder seemed surprisingly sparse on actual clams. Nothing was outright terrible, but most of the meal landed squarely in the mediocre category for me. The service was okay overall, though nothing especially memorable stood out in either direction. Truthfully, I think the biggest appeal of this place may simply be the atmosphere and sense of community it creates for regulars. Watching our friends interact with the staff and each other, it was obvious this is one of those local gathering spots people return to frequently because it feels comfortable and familiar. For me personally, though, I can't really say the food itself gave me much reason to return independently. Still, I had a genuinely pleasant evening because of the people we were with, and sometimes that matters more than the meal anyway.
