The huevos were such an interesting spin on other versions and I loved it. Cocktails are great and inventive too! So they get five stars because they nail it on all points!

The inside is quite swank, featuring a pretty large bar area on the right when you first enter. We were there for a sit-down dinner, so we proceeded around the left to the counter to get a table. I noticed this place must have a decent loyal following because of the merch you could purchase there at the counter (tee shirts, hats, sweat shirts, etc)! It wasn't too busy despite it being Friday night, so we got a table right away. It was really hard to pick what I wanted off the menu because A LOT of the options looked deliciously tempting (just gonna have to go back), but I eventually decided on a shrimp pasta, and that was the RIGHT choice. Mmm, so good! And a decent portion for the price too, as I took half of it home in a to-go box. I was pleased by the speed at which they got our order ready, as well as how attentive the server was (my in-laws suck down iced tea like no one's business, but she managed to keep them topped off regularly). The parking lot is interesting, as it has above ground and underground parking (probably nice to have the option to go below during the snowy winters around here). It shares the parking lot with a grocery and some other things, which felt a bit cramped, but as I said, we happened to be there when it wasn't too crowded somehow.

The waitress didn't appear to be loving her life that day but it happens. She answered all of our questions on the menu and we went with a wrap and a burger, plus cheese curds to start. Food was good, exactly what you would expect when you walk in. I will say this place is super busy, for it being a bar in the middle of the day- you would have never known. By the time we left the place was popping and there was no where to park. The avocado burger was good, I did a side of onion rings and everything hit the spot. I liked that we were asked if it would be one check or two as soon as we sat down vs. having the awkward conversation later.

The inside is beautiful and made for a really nice dining experience. We started with the Eichten's cheese curds, and they were excellent. They were soft on the inside, some had a great cheese pull, and the spicy dipping sauce paired really well with them. I ordered the Flat Iron Frites. The steak was seasoned well, cooked nicely, and didn't have much fat, which I appreciated. The fries were crispy and came with house-made ketchup. I usually don't even like ketchup, but this one was actually really good. My partner ordered the deviled eggs as his appetizer, and he enjoyed them so much he finished them in no time. For dessert, we had the Strawberry Shortcake Crème Brûlée, and it was fantastic. I've never had crème brûlée like that before. It was a unique twist on a classic dessert and ended the meal perfectly. The only small downside was that the complimentary water tasted clean and fresh. But it was warm instead of cold. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service made for a great experience, and I'd happily return. Glad i was able to cross this one off of my list.

The whole place reminded me a lot of Ale Emporium back in Indy -- relaxed sports bar vibes, plenty going on, but the food is way better than typical bar food. Great vibes, great service, great food. Couldn't have asked for a better first meal after a long drive into Minnesota. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

I ordered the spaghetti bake (which I didn't even know existed?!) Along with BBQ chicken flatbread. They have some other unique items on the menu I wanted to try, but didn't.

It was like eating a big block of macaroni cheese along with cottage cheese, kind of? The food was decent and the people were incredibly nice, but I personally wouldn't go here again.

Once we were sat, our server was really attentive and friendly and would come by often with refills on drinks, which was really appreciated! I ordered the 6 ounce sirloin, medium rare with buttered corn and mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were really tasty and the sirloin was cooked medium rare. I did wish that it was cooked at a slightly lower heat because the outside was very very cooked and smoky. also, I had water with my meal and it had a very particular taste which I was not a fan of. Small thing, but if you drink a lot of water you'll notice it. I know people love the rolls and the butter, but as someone who doesn't really like sweet flavors much I wish they also provided some regular butter for the bread.

They missed the onions on my salad when it was served but I was able to get them on the side. The portion was pretty big. I like the salad overall. The warm rolls with the butter are always a hit as well. Service was a bit rough as our waitress was training in another server. They would often take a while to come back and check on us. But they were really nice and when we asked for something they would take care of it right away.

(it did get busier while we were there) the menu isn't huge, but it has a big variety of items - burger, tacos, pastas, etc father in-law and I both opted for a burger, wife and monthe in-law split a burger and a fried chicken sandwich. verdicts on the burgers: they're half pound patties with a simple prep (just salt and pepper that I could tell). honestly, if you can't get a simple prep right, you have no business selling them. we all thoroughly enjoyed them. verdicts on the fried chicken sandwich: I didn't try it, so I'm relying on my wife here. she said it was just "ok". the chicken was a bit dry and lacked seasoning. it came with a Cajun remoulade sauce on the side that I did try. none of us really liked it. I felt it had way too much Cajun seasoning and just kind of overpowered everything. all sandwiches came with an absolute mountain of fries which were crispy, seasoned perfection. nothing is worse than soggy fries, and I would have walked out right then if they were floppy. well, not really, but I still hate soggy fries. ambiance: we were seated at a booth by the bar, so it was a little loud, but we were still able to hold a conversation without having to yell. price: mains range from $15-24, so not too bad. we didn't get any appetizers. I'd definitely go back and get another burger.

I came to Carmine's around 7 PM for the first time and was immediately told that they were full and…read morethat I couldn't be seated. What made the experience confusing was that I could see several empty tables, so I politely asked for clarification. I was then told there was an event happening, but there was no indication of an event, nor was I given any explanation about how that affected seating. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was seeing other people being welcomed in afterward without seemingly being informed that the restaurant was "full" or that an event was taking place. (Neither of which stated they were there for the event, and was seated at two of the empty tables.) I want to be careful about making assumptions about anyone's intentions, but as a diverse customer, the interaction left me feeling unwelcome and questioning whether I was being treated differently because of how I looked. There was no clear explanation, no alternative offered, and ultimately no opportunity for me to even experience the restaurant as a first-time customer. (Attempted to come back another day, was told the same thing, and was advised I could have beer, but no food or cocktails @ 6pm. Simply just left and gave up on this place.) I understand that businesses can have private events, capacity limitations, or other reasons for turning customers away. The issue was the lack of transparency and the way the situation was handled. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, mine was that I wasn't wanted there. The location itself seemed like it could be a nice place, which is why the experience was disappointing. I hope management takes a closer look at how situations like this are communicated and how all customers are made to feel welcome. (If that matters.)
