Wine, food, staff, everything. I had braised beef over risotto, crab cakes and dirty rice for my partner. We passed plates and were very pleased with both dishes. Caught a lot of glances from others there, so it definitely is a local hangout. I live too far away to be a regular but will certainly go back. Rumor has it there is were the south Grand Forks swingers hang out. Did you see a fishbowl with keys? Quote

andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 Anyone been to the Canad lately? Have the restaurants/bar improved? Also, we ate at the Spud Jr. in East Side last time I was in Grand Forks, it was excellent. Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 still think it's dumb that rhombus brew is funneling people to the south side at night/eve ( or all day for all i know)....they put up a door leading to the north side, are demo/renovating the bar base and adding a gas fireplace on the north wall about midway on that wall.... 1 Quote

I guess I can't knock until I see it for myself yeah the fireplace will be nice and who knows why the "bottom" of the bar needs redoing so quickly...but that table in the northeast side by the rr trax was a cool spot to eat and drink and there aint anything on the other side that comes close Quote
bcblues Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Wow. Sounds like "The Forks" food scene has changed since the Bronze Boot, Italian Moon, and the Red Pecker. Quote

The Bronze Boot could cook a mean steak, on par with some famous steakhouses, to absolute perfection (tall guy with the tall hat as I remember). Everything else was mediocre at best, if not approaching lousy. Great neon sign, saved by HOE. Quote
gfNDfan Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Word is Elias Dean of Steers fame is turning the old Scottys Deli into an Asian/Fusion place - could be an interesting add to the GF food scene. Quote

If you looked up they actually had buckets hanging to catch the drips during the final days. The story is one day is all went too far one day and part of the ceiling collapsed on diners. The health department was called in and the rest is history. GLAD the HOE saved the sign too! Still wonder where the Highlander signed ended up? That was a keeper too. Quote

Best French onion soup in town Quote
gfhockey Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Lot of deals were made and land exchanged in the bar at the boot Quote

The free happy hour bar food was nuts, thick side pork and white country sausage gravy, must have been sponsored by your local cardiologist’s vacation fund. Quote
