Then ordered the pistachio crusted walleye BLT with extra lettuce. That was a serious sandwich. Very good but pistachio didn't come out. Everyone attentive and I loved the communication. They had a large party coming in and I had been "camping" while waiting for my dining partner. We agreed to be done before they needed to set up versus changing tables. All good!

Both were wonderfully flavorful! My mom tried the grilled salmon with rice and asparagus, which I frankly didn't bother to try because I knew it wouldn't compare to the other two plates. The Brussels sprouts as an appetizer was decent, but had too much balsamic glaze, my table agreed. Our server was a bit hard to talk to, but still attentive and helpful. The patio was incredible, though. Especially as it got darker out, the string lights made a very enchanting vibe- minus all the bugs biting your ankles. I would plan to return, but be prepared for a heftier bill!

The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a modern vibe, and they also have a really cute patio if you want to sit outside. The service was phenomenal, and everyone was so friendly.

The food, service, and vibes were all amazing, and I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

The menu was interesting, I had the Quinoa Breakfast Bowl which was very good (I love quinoa). It got very busy, there's no dropping in, get a reservation. They do have some bar/counter seating but friends advised scoring that was iffy. This was the old Dairy Queen way back in the day. It has had several iterations and Heather's is the latest and arguably the most successful. I would not have thought to go here had friends not made the reservation (it is near their home) and I guess I would not go out of the way to go here again. Don't let that stop you. Very small parking lot, 2 people wanted my space and had me boxed in.

We were seated about 15 minutes after the reservation but they were super nice about not rushing people out (including us when we were there 20 min past closing!). The place is super cute!!!

Pink Ivy now sits on the top of my Hopkins area restaurants list for a nicer dining experience…read more K'Kinaco is on top as well, more because of the "fun factor" the owners influence, and the unique food,, so check it out as well. Back to Pink Ivy. The service is quality. Our reserved table was ready when we arrived. The reservation policy may seem "strict", but if you can live with needing to provide a 24 cancel notice, I think you will find the service is good because the business doesn't get slammed by unexpected high demand. Wait person timing was off a tad when we first sat down. It felt a little rushed as we order our drinks and considered a starter. In fairness, a table of 16-20 followed us in so the wait person may have been doing us a favor. But it did influence my four star rating. Otherwise I'd have given 5 stars. Great care was taken when wait person checked for allergies. Not just asked, but noted and went to the kitchen to confirm. During the meal, flatware was changed out between courses, water refilled without disruption and the order arrived on time and all at one time. Our group enjoyed the halibut, salmon, and chicken bacon meatball items. Everyone loved their meals. A few of us ordered and split salads. We passed on desserts. The menu range may not be pages long, but all the usual suspects are there; salads, fish, poultry, beef, and pasta. And I know the chef rotates items on the menu. I encourage you to plan ahead. Reservations fill up days in advance. I think you'll find it worth the extra planning. PS my ratings are adjusted for the type of venue. These are not Michelin stars.

Had their special, the birriadilla (i think that's what it was called) but it came with 3, freshly made and hot. The flavor was fantastic! Would definitely order again. They have a chips and salsa bar so you can try out a bunch of different sauces/salsas. Enjoyed the chance to try out the different sauces, they were great! We finished with the churro bites. They come with a caramel dipping sauce. They were warm and delicious! Highly recommend ordering those to wrap your meal.

The manager came and asked how the meal was and was very pleasant. Prices were reasonable and portions were huge. I highly recommend this establishment and we will come back again.

The atmosphere is bright, cheery, and enthusiastic -- although perhaps a bit loud. But then again, it's a sports bar with more televisions than Best Buy. The service was extremely friendly, professional, and competent. All of the waitstaff were hard working and very attentive. Our waitress can around often to bring pop refills and to check on us. The food was typical sports bar faire, but well done. We did not go for the July Bloody Mary of the month ($30!) (see photos), which came with more food than a full day's outing at the Minnesota State Fair. Instead, my wife had been and the Jumbo Bacon Cheddar Chive Tots ($13), which were filling and tasty. The tots were stuffed with bacon, cheddar cheese and chive, and served with aioli. I had the Traditional Bone-in Wings ($16.50) with two sauces - sweet chili, and sticky garlic gochujang. Although both were flavorful, my personal preference was for the sweet chili. All of the wings were juicy and cooked well. I also upgraded to a very large portion of beer battered fries, which were shoe-strong fries. They were cooked well - not greasy or overcooked and very tasty. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal.

I ordered a double toma cheeseburger (no onions) with the Brussel sprouts as a side. I also ordered a small Mac n cheese side and a bubbly water. The "small" side was pretty big lol. The large must be massive! The cheeseburger wasn't bad, it has some "special sauce" in it, that I would have rather had on the side. The Mac n cheese wasn't bad either, more cheese and it would have been spot on! And the brussel sprouts were alright, they were not hot or warm, which was disappointing.
