Sidebar at Surdyk’s 303 East Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55414

"Overall fun place for people who like food, though a bit hit and miss. We ate at the bar/restaurant and got a charcuterie board. The cheese was quite good, as was the honey and the pear jam. However, much of the rest of the food was good but less so, whether cooked/charred longer than I think it should've been or more bland than is typically expected of the dish. Our server was great. Very amiable, and made the best possible food recommendations. The environment had a relaxed fine dining feel. A tight space with lots of conversation happening and friendly staff."

"Best drinks in NE Minneapolis! I love this fancy, little, upscale space to meet for drinks. The bartenders are some of the best. Love the atmosphere. Reservations are a must!"

"I ordered a flat white and it was made incorrectly, so I asked the server to remake it (see photo of what we got, we drank some of it but when it arrived it looked just like in the photo - just milk and coffee with no microfoam). Instead, the barista himself came all the way from the coffee shop to our table, his phone in hand, hands shaking in frustration, showing me a cartoon image of a flat white and insisting that it was made correctly and how he had "been a barista for 11 years". Eventually he agreed to just make me a latte, but it was a very uncomfortable back-and-forth. I was really taken aback by how rude and condescending the barista was. I will absolutely be going back because I love Surdyk’s, but the barista needs some soft skills training (and frankly some barista training)."

"I literally had no idea it was connected to Surdyk's, but it was a very pleasant surprise. The bartenders greeted me as soon as I sat down and we were helped right away. The house Old Fashioned was made amazing, and the Mac and Cheese and Squash Ravioli were some of the best pasta dishes I've had. The ambience was very warm and lively here, and all around a great experience. Will definitely be coming back!"

"Great place for a quick drink and some bites before heading to a downtown show! The deviled eggs, charcuterie and brussel sprouts are each unique to classic favorites. This spot may see us back very soon!"
