I loved the prosciutto topped with Gorgonzola and fig - it's the best combination. Ian was our server he was awesome, thankfully we were able to get a table today, the last time we went on a whim they were slammed so I highly recommend you make reservations.

I was really in the mood for the chicken cacciatore but this location doesn't have it on the menu, but as a second option, they have Italian egg rolls, which is stuffed with chicken cacciatore and it satisfied my craving. The chicken marsala has a nice sauce/gravy but it is extra sweet compared to other marsala's I've had. The gnocchi was really good, love those little gut bombs and the red sauce was excellent. Gotta love the drink prices in northern Minnesota. The service was great as we sat at the bar and the bartender was delightful and entertaining - she told us a good story about how she ended up in a walking boot. This location is very busy, a reservation is recommended, especially for a Saturday night.

We ordered takeout for dinner and walked across the street from our hotel to grab the food. It was…read moreready fast during one of the peak dining times on a Saturday evening. The food was piping hot even after walking across the street, everything looked handcrafted and the quality was top notch. I got the Limone pizza with added prosciutto and a side of homemade Caesar dressing - 10/10 would get again. My partner got a build your own pizza and it was really tasty but the only bummer was the amount of sausage as a $2 topping for a 9inch - it looked like a pinch of sausage on top of a 2 topping pizza. Still tasted great I just think he'd choose something other than sausage next time. The cheese bread was good, crispy and seasoned well, a nice size for sharing with a few people. Their Rustica salad was really tasty with the vinaigrette and definitely big enough for sharing, and the bread bits on the side were a nice change up from your average crouton. I loved the homemade Caesar dressing for dipping my Limone pizza and cheese bread - definitely more of a strong aromatic flavor than your typical bottled Caesar but it tasted homemade and fresh and it was fun to try something different than Ranch. They have a section outside for patio dining on the nicer days, great location right off the water, nice spot to try for an upscale pizza night whether you dine in or take out.

I have never done that before, but this was inedible. It was replaced with a burger, which was fine. Not mind-blowing. Good fries, but unevenly seasoned. I was so excited to celebrate my birthday here and it was disappointing. My nephew had the mac & cheese and thought it needed more cheese sauce - but the hot dog he added to it was excellent. My mom's strawberry salad had no strawberries on it. When we asked the server, she said that it was a strawberry vinaigrette. When we double checked the menu, it looked like strawberries were one of the ingredients, and it was topped with a poppyseed vinaigrette. My dad had the white fish and was very happy with it. My sister had a pork chop and said it was good. Our server was really nice and gave no pushback on replacing the entrée.

We came in for an early dinner and so did every other family and kids. The vibe is very family friendly, sort of old timey and casual. It was packed, but we were able to get a table without too much waiting. We ordered pizza and some wings (wings upon recommendation from the server). The wings were pretty darn good and the pizza was pretty good, too. The kids ate, everyone ate, and it did not cost an arm and a leg, either.

First and foremost I want to say our bartender/server was great. He was friendly, and timely servicing us. Not an easy task if you are managing tables and running the bar fulfilling orders for the other servers, and managing his customers sitting at the bar. So appreciate his efforts. The food? Well, that was a disappointment. We ordered some wings, and a Margherita Pizza. First, the wings were soggy limp pieces of meat, and the sauce we chose was not cooked enough to remove some of the moisture so it would cling to the wings. The saving grace was we were quite hungry so we powered through that mess. Secondly, the pizza we received...that was an utter disappointment. Not sure what Green Mill calls for a Margherita pizza, but that is not what one should taste or look like. There was no basil on this pizza, unless you call the dried herbs sprinkled on it "basil", This was a garlic bomb - it was just so overwhelming, and I LOVE garlic. Lastly there was just too much cheese and olive oil. it was so greasy! We befriended some other folks, and they politely declined an offer of a slice of pizza, because we were not going to eat anymore after the first slice. I might stop in again, but I would NEVER order that pizza again, nor the wings.

Fantastic pizza and some good beer too!…read more First time to this brewery and I already love it. The beer, the food, the atmosphere are all amazing. Can't say enough about the pizza. The crust is perfect, thin and slightly crispy while still being soft and chewy. The pizza sauce is so tasty without overdoing anything.

All different styles and flavors. I ordered the Oatmeal Stout and their Pils. Both were very good. Looking forward to going back to try more soon. They have a live music schedule, a kids area, excellent selection of games, and an outdoor patio. Highly recommend a visit to Ursa Minor!
