Would not have known about it otherwise. Very, very good. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just opened a small event venue in the basement. Speaking of good local pizza check out Pete's Za by Rydells. They do a Caribbean Jerk Pizza that is amazing and have lots of other unique pies. Don't miss the Korean BBQ Wings with Gojuchang Sauce. Might be one of the best wing flavors in town with sauce that's spicy and sweet and thick. Have lots of napkins on hand but it's totally worth it. They blow the geometric guys out of the water IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted March 22, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 22, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcblues Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Wow. Sounds like "The Forks" food scene has changed since the Bronze Boot, Italian Moon, and the Red Pecker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfNDfan Posted March 23, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
