I only post exceptionally positive dining-out experiences here...no negative reviews.
LUNCH
Brick & Bourbon
June 2022
Not only did my brothers order a smoky bacon bourbon that was served in a clear pedestal glass display full of smoke, but we also ordered a candied bacon flight, delicious duck bacon wontons and moist "hand crafted cast iron burgers." We visited the Stillwater location and it's right by the water. There's some great antique stores all around as well. Fun afternoon with my two brothers, sister-in-law and my 2nd oldest son!
DINNER
Match Stick Restaurant & Spirits
January 30, 2023
My two brothers and I went to Match Sticks, in Stillwater, MN, for dinner, to celebrate my older brother's birthday. My brothers both appreciate good Bourbon, and Match Sticks is also a reputable Bourbon Bar. The short ribs were drenched in a delicious savory molasses sauce, and amazingly tender. We also shared the brussels sprouts and wedge salad...so yummy!
Salut
June 2022
My brothers and I stopped in to Salut Bar Americain for drinks and appetizers, before heading to our next stop for dinner. I recommend you stop in...for both the atmosphere and delicious food! We each ordered a cocktail as well as the Moules Parisienne and pommes frites with béarnais sauce. Delicious!
February 1, 2023
On our 2nd visit to Salut, we shared a burger with side salad and pommes frites with béarnais sauce. We also each ordered a cup of french onion soup...perfect lunch on a freezing cold day!
The Lexington
June 2022
For dinner, we had an absolutely delicious and wonderful evening at the Lexington. The service was exemplary. Be sure to order the gnocchi appetizer...it'll be difficult to not order a second. My brothers are both big fans of Blanton's Bourbon, and they scored the bottle tonight, in addition to their glasses of bourbon. (Apparently the horse corks are something to collect!)
Other fun happenings
Mad Capper
A bar in Stillwater, MN
January 30, 2023
My brothers and I stopped into Charlie's bar before heading to my older brother's birthday dinner. It was negative temperatures outside (Fahrenheit!) and we were freezing! Our bartender provided warm, friendly and phenomenal service...and the drinks we ordered were great as well! I enjoyed the Winter Special...half warm dry red wine and half warmed port, with cinnamon, cardamom and orange peel. My brothers both ordered a Winter Wondermint...hot chocolate with cream de cacao and creme de menthe.)
Cooks
A Kitchen Supply Store and Cooking Classes
After stopping in at Salut, we went for a walk, dropped into the Cooks store, where we bought each other our birthday gifts, all at once...even though our birthdays are spread out from January through June. Beautiful store and great service!
