    Caribbean Breakfast Hash Special
    Annissa L.

    Amazing little cafe in Welch!! We pass through once per year and this is definitely going to be an annual stop! The menu had very unique local ingredients and it was hard to choose just one item! Had many gluten-free and gluten friendly options. The owner greeted us and was very prompt and took great care of everyone in the cafe. Highly recommend.

    Such good food and great service. Food takes a while, but it is totally worth it They have outdoor and indoor seating and have ice cream as desert. So close to the bike trail and the canoe place.

    I've driven by this place several times on our way to go skiing. So glad we stopped today! The brunch special (chilaquiles w/ chorizo) was fantastic. My wife had the breakfast tacos (w/ blue corn tortillas, naturally) & they were also extremely tasty. The entire menu looked good. Can't wait to come here again!

    I knew their tasty ice cream, but it be good menu is new to me. Nice old building , easy to park, timely service, waitress did good job explaining many sandwiches or foods are made from scratch: she was right. Everything was tasty and prices within normal limits. Many customers there were returning ones!!! Good food indeed.

    We loved this place right off the bike trail! We both ordered awesome sandwiches and service was friendly. We sat on their cute little patio. Can't wait to visit again!

    The Bleu Dog Cafe has great food, great service, and a cool setting! I had the Jenny Cakes, huge, thick pancakes with a mixed berry compote & fresh whipped cream topping. It came with a side cup of fake maple syrup (my only complaint). My boyfriend had eggs, bacon, & breakfast potatoes. He said it was fast....I stole some of the bacon...very yummy! The location is in an OLD bank, very fun! It is a small location, but we were there around 9 a.m. on a dreary, fall Saturday morning. I think there were only 2 other occupied tables. More people came in as we were there. Amanda, our server, was very nice and made sure we had plenty of coffee! We will absolutely go back!!!

    A cute little place tucked away into no-man's-land. Today I had the burger. It was phenomenal. The menu is very small, but the food is amazingly good. And if you love scenic roadways, this is the place to be

    My husband and I enjoyed a great Italian salad and too much delicious ice cream, sitting on the sunny patio in the back. The small, but varied, menu probably changes frequently and we plan to return.

    Cheeseburger, fries with garlic aioli, cous cous salad.

    This place is AMAZING! We were headed back home after a night at Treasure Island and were looking…read morefor a good breakfast/brunch. I did a search on Yelp and came across this place that was only a few minutes off our route and it was more than worth the extra 5 mins. The interior was filled with little signs and rubber ducks. For drinks I ordered the Bloody Mary which came with a spotted cow chaser and my husband ordered the mimosa. We spotted they had spotted cow cheese curds and ordered these. They were absolutely amazing and rivaled the Mouth Trap Cheese Curds you get at the Minnesota State Fair. For entrees I ordered the Butcher Omelet with Hollandaise and it was so delicious and packed with fillings. I had no hope in finishing it so we took it home for leftovers. My husband ordered the Three Little Pigs Benedict and noted it was a top 3 benedicts he has ever had (he loves benedicts). I also ordered a cold brew cocktail I think it was the Spiked Salty Caramel and it was delicious and decadent! The entire time we were there people kept stopping in and visiting the bartender to get drinks and it was so fun to see. She was absolutely so fantastic and one of those bartenders you would go back to see over and over. Just a bummer its not close to our house. I would recommend this place to anyone who is over in this area. It is so perfect!

There was a 45-minute wait for a table for two but we snagged a couple spots at the bar and sat down right away. The bartender/waitress was a pure delight. Despite how crazy busy it was, she was pleasant and helpful and efficient. (I'm sorry I can't remember her name.) And they were offering free mimosas to all the ladies which was a nice bonus. Hubby and I both ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of hashbrowns. Everything was perfectly cooked and we were delighted with the crispy hash browns Strangely, we find crispy, perfectly cooked hashbrowns very rarely. And we have breakfast out fairly often. This restaurant nailed it! The prices are very reasonable, and the service was great. Highly recommend!

    I'm always fair in my reviews, but... WOW. I'm still laughing at how unbelievably awful this…read moreexperience was. We decided to stop in for a late lunch and try somewhere new. I ordered the French toast. It arrived barely warm, and after almost finishing the first slice... I found a hair. The other meal went like this: "I'll have the soup, salad, and bread." "What kind of soup?" we asked. "The soup of the day," the server replied. We looked at each other and thought, Okay... surprise soup. "So what are the bread choices?" (Thinking breadsticks, garlic toast, something...) "It's like toast." "Okay... wheat toast then." The meal arrived: Soup was cold and looked like Campbell's Chunky Soup. Salad was warm, consisting of iceberg lettuce and a quarter slice of tomato. Wheat toast was cold. Crackers were stale. Needless to say, neither of us finished our meals. I politely pointed out the hair to the server. Her response? "Oh... do you want me to have them make another one?" Ummm... no. Then came the bill: about $24. Nothing was taken off. No discount. No real apology until I mentioned paying full price for a meal with a hair in it. Then, to top it all off, they asked if we wanted a to-go box. For what,, the hair!! At that point, all we could do was laugh. It was honestly one of the most unbelievable dining experiences I've ever had.

    While visiting Red Wing, Minnesota, my friend and I stopped for a Starbucks coffee. The barista was…read moreincredibly friendly and we told her we were visiting from Chicago. She immediately recommended that we try Scarlet Kitchen & Bar and get the pretzel. Scarlet is located in the historic St. James Hotel in beautiful downtown Red Wing. The restaurant is large and inviting, but it was a lovely night, so we opted to sit on their patio wherever had a view of the town. Our server was attentive and friendly. Of course, we ordered Amy's Famous Pretzel, and with beer cheese and garlic butter dipping sauces, it was absolutely delicious--more like a pretzel bread. I ordered the Mississippi Pot Roast Sandwich, and that hit the spot, too. A simple Panna Cotta with a berry sauce was a light, and tasty finish to our meal. If you want a great meal, in a beautiful restaurant with attentive service, give Scarlet Kitchen & Bar a try. It will not disappoint.

It was a little warm in the sun, but otherwise great outdoor weather and provided entertainment for the kids to look at the train when it went past. Our server was pretty quick to come get our drink order and we also puts the kids order and appetizer in right away. Our specialty cocktail and mocktail drinks came out pretty quick and all were quite refreshing. For the appetizer we got the Brussels sprouts with the horseradish mustard dressing and they were a hit. We even saved the dressing to use for the fries and sandwiches we ordered for the main. The kids burgers came out shortly after the appetizer which was useful to keep them entertained. It was pretty much an adult portion size and a well cooked burger. The only issue was that it took a while longer for the adult food to come out, so the kids were all done eating by the time we got our food. We got the Scarlett Salmon, Cubano, wild Mahi, Swedish stew, and pot roast sandwich. The salmon had a nice crust to it, but unfortunately for me, that also meant it was pretty salty. The couscous, watermelon radish, and chimichurri that accompanied were all very tasty though and the chimichurri did have a good kick of spice to it. The Cubano had good flavor and the horseradish mustard was a great accompaniment. The pot roast sandwich had decent flavor but was a little dry. The Mahi was the more successful fish entree and the Swedish stew also got great reviews. For dessert we couldn't make a decision, so we got the dessert trio which was a triple chocolate fudge cake, orange blossom and raspberry cake, and passion fruit panna cotta. The chocolate cake was a little dry for me, the raspberry cake was moist with a nice summer flavor, and the Panna cotta was the standout. A perfect light option to end the meal, and it came in a pretty cup. Overall they did have decent food and portion sizes were pretty good given their higher prices. The highlights are the beautiful outdoor patio and the friendliness of the servers.
