On our way home from a long weekend, we stopped at Sleepy Eye Brewery. This small town movie theater was turned into a coffee shop on one side of the building and a brewery on the other. It is a must see!

My favorites are salmon, ahi tuna, cucumber, crab salad, red cabbage, scallions, avocado, masago, furikake, topped with garlic soy yuzo and spicy mayo.
Service was less than adequate. Although polite, the waitress was not a good advocate for the food at the restaurant and discouraged several items on the menu.
Crown Peach Beach was my drink of choice tonight. Crown Peach, pineapple juice, and grenadine. Good but very sweet.
Mac & Cheese Pizza: homemade famous crust topped with white sauce, macaroni noodles, mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar cheese. With their special seasonings it is delicious! I will keep coming back for this one! I love the extra cheesy taste. Their homemade, Panino crust is deliciously flavorful.
The fish and crisps were a Lenten Friday special. For the crisps I chose Uglies brand bbq chips. They were lightly salted and nice side. The fish was lightly breaded and oven baked. It did come out under done but they ran it through the oven again quick and it was nice a crispy! It was nice to have breaded fish that wasn’t deep fried and greasy. The homemade tartar sauce was a great addition that rounded out the meal. For someone who doesn’t like tartar sauce, I was surprised to find that I really liked it!

Staff was polite and environment clean. It’s Twins themed restaurant in a historical main street building. It is tastefully decorated with twins memorabilia but not overly done.
Wild mushroom flatbread with caramelized onion was delicious and definitely something to do again!
Adobo Chicken Sandwich with coleslaw was also delicious and worth a try!
Hibachi meals were just okay. After great service and an outstanding roll, the hibachi was a letdown. Flavorless rice. Seafood was cold. Chicken was good.
We LOVED the Cupid Roll. Definitely do it again! (Forgot the pic, but the presentation was nice).
Plan to come for sushi but skip hibachi.
For Midwestern girls, the idea of waffles and fried chicken seemed strange. However, we absolutely loved the combination, especially with the spiced sauce. Thanks to our waitress, we tried her recommendation and had a great experience. Definitely go back! The fruit was fresh. The chicken was delicious. The latte was great. And full windows all the way around the seating area gave it a large open feel.
Looking for some classic jazz on a weeknight, we found Three Muses to be a good spot. The service was outstanding. Although we looked at the menu, we didn’t order anything but drinks. Drinks were good, but nothing special… Just a good drink.
We did venture next door to find a good dancefloor, but not as a classic jazz feel and the drinks were awful.
Char-Grilled Oysters. Delicious! Grilled oysters with garlic, herbs, butter and parmesan and Romano cheeses. Would definitely order again.
Fresh French bread! Soft and delicious like it had just come out of the oven. For drinks, we enjoyed a Mint Julep and a Hendrick’s Orleans.
Crawfish Beignets. Don’t bother. Greasy, flavorless crab in a dough with a lovely sauce.
Nice little side salad. Topped with olives, tomato, goat cheese, and a very light home-made style vinaigrette. Light and refreshing, but could use more tomato or a crouton.
Shrimp Pesto Risotto – Good, but nothing special. Wouldn’t rush to order again.
Sautéed Louisiana shrimp in a house made pesto and confit tomato risotto, topped with shaved Parmesan cheese.
Redfish St Roch. Pan seared Redfish, served over sweet potato mash and brussel sprouts braised in house-cut bacon, finished with brown butter beurre blanc. Delicious! The sauce brings it all together. Hands down would order again!
Creme brulee always a favorite. The strawberries were super sweet. The blueberries were good. However, the custard was a little too eggy and the brulee was overly burnt and seemed like it was reburnt again. A legendary favorite of ours and almost a guarantee has dropped a star for the dessert category.
Tried the Bourbon flight. All three were a bit sharp but we ordered a Sprite chaser and that made each one palatable.
Love for traveling, food, and whiskey
