The cleanliness of the establishment has something to be desired. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and have stopped a few times prior. The particular Sunday afternoon the waitress and the cook had only been employed there 2 days. they were left to fend for themselves. The power went out, they didn't know what to do and tried to contact help...NO ANSWER! The selfish owners, left them to run the bar and went to Texas. NO proper training and clearly don't care about their staff or establishment...just money hungry. We were told by a staff member on a prior visit that the owners are not there often and that they have a hard time keeping staff due to being demanding and disrespectful. Not an establishment i will be spending any money at ever again.

The counter faces the window, so you get to watch the street activity while you eat. We both ordered cold press, my partner added a double shot of espresso to his. The cold press was good. Good coffee flavor. They use reusable stainless steel straws which is nice. The servers were fast, friendly, and efficient. The food came out at about the pace you would expect. My partner had an omelette with Standish potatoes and a biscuit. The potatoes were really good, crispy outside with good garlic flavor. The biscuit was a good, pretty standard biscuit. The omelette was really good and paired well with the sides. I had the aebleskivers and they were very nice. Fluffy, faintly sweet, and came with triple berry jam and real maple syrup. There is a small parking lot in back but it was full when we got there, so we did street parking about a block away. There is one handicap parking space in the rear parking lot. The restaurant itself is somewhat handicapped friendly. It is tight, but you can get in and get a table.

It's one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back. Highly recommend.

I love Chimichurri and a horseradish sauce. This dish has both. Honestly, this might have been my meal highlight. We also ordered a Caesar Salad with our starter and no complaints. For our main we shared the 6oz filet and the Shrimp Scampi. The steak was tender and cooked just as we asked. Wish it had a little more seasoning but nothing to complain about. The Scampi felt like it was lacking something. I would have thought that the mushrooms and leeks in a white wine cream sauce would have added plenty to this dish but it seemed to be a bit bland. We also ordered the asparagus with hollandaise sauce and we enjoyed it. All in all we were happy with our visit. I will definitely be back to sit at the bar for some drinks. I really appreciated their bourbon selection!

The short rib section was sadly empty so I will have to shop at a few other grocery stores for my Christmas entree. As for the hot and ready to eat foods I grabbed, I had the vegetable egg rolls, sesame tofu, and fried rice. The egg rolls and tofu were good and passable for a quick cheap lunch, but the fried rice was near inedible. Veggies were cooked and tender, flavor was good, but the rice was entirely undercooked. I struggled to even find a single grain of rice that wasn't raw and hard and since I had mixed my rice with my tofu it nearly ruined lunch. I wouldn't call this experience indicative of of Eastsides typical good quality food, so I wont judge too harshly, but I hope this experience wont repeat itself.

My NA drink had house grenadine that I was skeptical of in theory, but I trusted our server who promised it was not the sickeningly sweet stuff I was imagining.

First off, going through the hidden Coke machine entrance is actually really fun and makes the whole place feel like a little adventure. The decor and speakeasy atmosphere are definitely the standout. Very cool space. VERY loud though. Like "lean across the table and say WHAT?" loud at times. The waitress was super nice and recommended a mocktail for me that called Ass in the Sand. It ended up being really good. It tasted like an elevated lemonade and was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. Started with the rolls and whipped honey butter which were delicious. Very soft, warm, and honestly dangerous because I could've just kept eating bread all night. For the main meal, I did the Wagyu Burger with Parmesan fries. The burger itself was okay but surprisingly didn't have a ton of flavor outside of the grilled/charred taste. The Parmesan fries were actually the standout for me -- hand cut fries and parmesan fries are just hard to mess up. My partner tried the Mushroom Soup en Croute and wasn't a fan because the mushrooms were blended and he said it lacked flavor. He also had a Steak Taco special using their medallion steak and said even with lime it still needed more flavor. Finished with Crème Brûlée which is always a classic favorite for me and this one was good. Overall: fun experience, cool hidden entrance, great decor, good mocktail and bread, but the actual food menu is pretty limited and the flavors didn't totally wow me for the price. Glad I went and finally crossed it off my list, but probably a one-and-done visit for me.

We saw the setup for a wedding while we were there and it was breathtaking. The small gardens near the front are beautiful, but it's a true feat to walk (or drive) the three mile walk and to see the entirety of the gardens. There's a fun (and quite difficult) maze, a sculpture garden, many different tree and flower displays, shrub displays, and way more! We haven't had the chance to check out the farm that's on the property, but are really looking forward to it! This is a great place to spend a day with energetic kiddos, or to just lose yourself in nature for a little while. And each month something new is in bloom, so there's always new to see and do!

Did you know there is a treehouse right here in Minnesota that you can stay in? And it puts anything Treehouse Masters has made to shame. No offense to Treehouse Masters, they build some fantastic treehouses. The treehouse at Hope Glen is the next level. In fact, its several levels. After being so cooped up and not going anywhere, I planned this night out as a surprise to my wife. For the record my plan worked perfectly. She had no idea where we were going and packed like we were going to be stranded somewhere. Little did she know we were only going to be about 20 minutes from home. Hope Glen is easy to find, just down 61 in Cottage Grove. From what I read on their website this is a popular destination for weddings. The treehouse requires that reservations are made on their website. Once you have been confirmed you will receive an email with instructions. Parking was easy as their lot was empty when we arrived. You can't actually see the treehouse from the parking lot but if you follow the signs, a short walk around or through the pavilion and you'll see the treehouse. The entry is by lockbox. When you first walk in the door there is a beautiful sitting area and great fireplace. One of two fireplaces in the treehouse. This area opens up to the kitchen and a door to the deck. The kitchen has granite countertops and a full fridge, stove with oven and sink. If you take the stairs down you'll find the main bedroom which has the other fireplace. Across from the bedroom is a huge bathroom with a jet tub and big shower with a rain shower head. Upstairs and up the ladder is the lookout where you can see for miles. And don't forget about the secret room. Well actually the secret room has access to another bathroom too which you can only get to from the secret room. We really enjoyed our stay in the treehouse. There are games that we played and I lost but I still had fun. The treehouse is not an inexpensive night. But then again, this is a luxury treehouse right here in Minnesota. Did I mention that there is heating, air conditioning and heated floors too. In a treehouse! The owners were prompt and professional. We'd love to stay here again sometime.

A couple of observations: cleanliness could be improved. The booth we were seated at had many crumbs and other food particles on the seat. Flies are a bit of a pest buzzing around. I know it's not the restaurant's fault esp during the summer but consistently keeping bugs away from my meal is not an ideal indoor dining experience. For those paying via credit card, there is a 3.5% surcharge. The salmon salad was overly fishy and off-putting. Salmon shouldn't taste that way. The deep dish pizza was a nice shareable entree, full of toppings and very tasty.
