Alpha & Omega Farm was such a fun experience and absolutely worth the 45-minute to hour drive from…read morethe Twin Cities! I chose it for my birthday celebration, and it ended up being the perfect setting. There's plenty of grass parking and lots of space to spread out with lawn chairs or picnic blankets. We grabbed a table in the open gazebo, which worked perfectly for our group. I'd recommend arriving early if you want a spot near the stage, where they have live music throughout the evening. The farm opens at 5 p.m., but you can arrive as early as 4:30 to order pizza. I HIGHLY recommend reserving your crust online. It's $10, but that goes toward your pizza purchase. They also have a limited number of walk-ups available each night. We tried the Guyro and Millie the Meatlover pizzas. The Guyro had seasoned lamb, cheese, cucumber, tomato, and tzatziki and was such a unique combination, but the Meatlover was my favorite! It had plenty of Canadian bacon, pepperoni, and sausage with a great meat-to-cheese ratio. We also got the cheese curds with marinara, and definitely get some dill ranch for dipping! My one miss was the $7.50 Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I didn't get much blueberry or basil flavor and thought it tasted more like a watered-down pink lemonade. My brother's rum and Coke, on the other hand, was pretty strong for the price. You can also bring your own beverages. There's plenty to do while you wait for your pizza. The farm has pigs, alpacas, donkeys, cows, goats, plus games like cornhole and basketball. Between the animals, games, live music, and open space, it's also VERY kid-friendly. One of my favorite parts was meeting the owner, Kim, who took some time to show us around. I loved hearing about her vision of creating a welcoming space centered around community. They even have accommodations on the property and can host private events. A few things to know before you go: Bring plates, napkins, utensils, containers for leftover pizza, and a trash bag because those aren't provided. The bathrooms are also porta-potties, so come prepared! Overall, this felt like a little summer getaway without traveling far from Minneapolis. Come early, reserve your pizza, bring your picnic supplies, and make an evening out of it. I'd absolutely come back!

I went during a Father's Day Sunday with live music and I need to shout out to the partner who is making and selling the homemade cookies for $6. I can't stop thinking about those cookies - they are Glorious! The food here is farm fresh and my husband noticed the fresh tomato on the pizza immediately. Things to know upfront: - reserve/put a deposit down on your crust online ($10 plus tax) It is highly recommended. You pay for the full pizza once you order at the hut. They will ask for your name when you walk up. 1 crust typically feeds 2 people. - there is free farm parking - bring your own napkins, plates, and utensils (they do have a farm kit you can get if not for extra $) - this is a zero waste place so carry out your garbage recycling - no pets / children need to be supervised - you can rent one of their group seating spaces or find seating if any tables are open. We brought lawn chairs just incase as advised. We didn't need to use them on the mellow day we were in. -satellite restrooms onsite We loved visiting!! Thank you

Whitney course -- it was overall a delicious delight! My favorite was the eggplant agnolotti, all around a solid course with great flavors. I quite enjoyed the rabbit and foie gras terrine as well! I would say if you aren't adventurous, this menu may be a hit or miss if you don't like specific textures. For me, I enjoyed most of everything served! My least favorite was probably the mushroom dashi-- but it was not bad. I was quite surprised to feel as full as I did at the end! I would say for the price, it is a fair amount of food especially with the amount of flair and flavors presented. I did not do a wine pairing but everything I did have from the bar was a 10/10. The restaurant interior itself was intimate and quiet. Everyone was respectful of each other's space and experience. I would say although you are quite close to your neighbors, you can easily get swept away in your own bubble. Would definitely return to enjoy a different set!

My evening at Demi was everything I hoped for and more…read more FOOD Every bite was incredible. All of the dishes were incredibly well-balanced and carefully thought out. We opted for the wine pairing and I'm so glad we did. The wines complemented the food perfectly - but all would have been lovely on their own. SERVICE We felt so well taken care of our entire time there. The staff run like an extremely well-oiled machine, all while maintaining a calm and pleasant environment. I noticed and appreciated many of the small details - for example, one of the hosts made sure to revert to they/them pronouns when referring to guests. The courses and wines were perfectly timed out. We never waited too long for either, but at the same time the meal did not seem rushed. AMBIANCE It is a small and intimate space without seeming too cramped. It was cool being able to see the dishes being plated right in front of you, but it wasn't distracting. Yes, the meal is pricey. But in my opinion, this is a one of a kind experience that you cannot get anywhere else in the city and it's well worth it for a special experience that I would be happy to recommend to anyone.
