Harry's, Helix, Toasted Frog, Ely's and Skies are likely the top 5 fancier places in town. Order is debatable depending on preferences and the night.

Ely’s is overrated, in my opinion.

The OG would say the OG.

(Translated: Marilyn Hagerty would say Olive Garden. )

Always had great service and good food there. Appreciate they try to go outside the box on things you aren't going to find on other menus in town.

Absolutely. List was "fancy" not best food.

Olive Garden is way overrated, overpriced, and really not that good.  Easier, Cheaper, and better to make your own.

Opened last weekend but grand opening is next week I believe. They’ll have a Crisp and Green and some type of coffee place on the main floor below Skies. 

Expand  

Went to the open house at Olive Ann last night night. A much needed addition to the downtown.  Very nice. I also learned the Crisp & Green will no longer be located there. They decided to move into the old Huhot building on Columbia.

Harry’s is outstanding.  Toasted Frog offers some unique options and always good.

Lobster Mac from Harry’s is nice. Most any beef is as well. They also have a really good tequila cocktail that I enjoy. Best of all is the feel and atmosphere though. They did a great job with the interior.

[gfhockey]

I got a room at the Olive and Friday night when I come back to town will be interesting to see how it is
 

tried to get one on Saturday but I guess there’s a wedding there or something and it’s all booked up

When Hal is there he is great about greeting guests and making sure they have a good time. Hash browns are a must. Salmon always good but hard not to order a steak. 

[Goon]

Helix is awesome, too.

Hal has always been great at that. Worked a couple years at Happy Harry's in my college years. Took away a lot of lessons that I might not have realized I was getting at the time,  that I carried into my life and sales career.

Even back before the super stores, Happy Harry's wasn't your typical liquor store. Was able to cater to a different audience. Just brilliant marketing..."Open until 10 p.m. for your convenience!" which meant we closed a couple hours before everyone else.

anyone know what's going on inside of the old guisseppe's by insomnia cookies?  

 

[SIOUXFAN97]

something will have to sooner or later go into the old subway downtown now with the olive ann across the street?

Ate at Varsity Ice House for lunch today(previously Wild Bills on Demers) Great burger and the fries were even better. Mostly burgers or chicken for the menu.   Looks like it will be a gathering spot for watching sports as they have a lot of huge tvs.
