"Located in an historic building in downtown Excelsior, Coalition serves globally inspired American fare in elegant surroundings.  Appetizers range from a classic cheese board to Korean tacos; entrees include options like seared scallops served with soba noodles and a grilled ribeye flavored with smoked paprika aioli.  The cocktail program features several Midwestern craft spirits." - Stacy Brooks

Met friends for an early dinner (5pm) and pretty quiet, which was nice because it's a small place and we found that later as it became more crowded it was pretty loud. Love the atmosphere and could see dropping in for a drink at the bar during "social hour". They make a great Old Fashioned. We had never been here before and it was suggested that we try the steam buns and crispy cauliflower. The steam buns were delicious and the "bun" was something I had never had before. More of a doughy consistency and a very nice take on pulled pork. Yummy. Didn't really care for the crispy cauliflower but that's just me. For dinner my friend and I decided to split the grilled seafood risotto minus the scallops. It was also delicious. Unfortunately, my husband ordered the roasted chicken dinner thinking it would be your traditional dish, but it was swimming in a strange, tangy sauce and neither of us cared for it. Should have paid closer attention to the description at $29.50. For dessert we all split a key lime pie. Very nice. Overall, a lovely experience and we will definitely be back. The service was outstanding all the way around.

Coalition is a local restaurant in downtown Excelsior. The food is familiar but with unique twists that make each entree exciting. The restaurant is quaintly situated on the not-to-busy Main Street and surrounded by other shops and restaurants. If the weather is nice, sitting outside lets you soak up the beach-town vibe with a good meal.

Have eaten there many many times. Great service. Everything on the menu is good, except maybe the chicken wings which I like drier and more well done.

Good restaurant I think we just happen to have a not great experience. I got the salmon. The salmon was delicious, but the sponge potato sides were not cooked quite right tasted funny.

We stopped in for a couple drinks and nibbles during happy hour on 4th of July. Nice clean spot with top tier fries. The charred corn salad was presented nicely.

Excellent choice for a recent, much needed girls day. Shout out to Ryan for his impeccable service. Cheese curds are delicious- highly recommend. Adorable patio and DOGS ARE WELCOME :)

This is a great local stop in Excelsior serving up unique dishes in a small setting. We most recently tried the brunch which had a number of delicious items on the menu. The donut hole appetizers (in place of bread to start) was a fun treat. I also liked their old fashioned.

Stopped in for a late lunch with my son today. I was excited to once again have the Korean tacos that were so great a couple years back. I was extremely disappointed, as they were almost too salty to eat. I moved on to my grilled chicken sandwich with fig jam and brie, and it wasn't very good at all. I left half of it on my plate. The accompanying coleslaw was mediocre at best. The service was nothing to brag about. I will not be coming back.
