"Nettare’s fresh and regional menu takes inspiration from European dishes and food cultures but is decidedly rooted in Midwest sensibilities with a focus on local producers from the Great Lakes region. After being greeted by the boutique market with a focus on local spirits, the 45-seat, sun-filled restaurant welcomes you with tea, coffee, pastries and sandwiches by day – and an immersive dinner experience by night (with a coveted 5-seat chef’s counter) that values sustainability, seasonality and regionality."
"Chill West Town cafe, restaurant, and bottle shop Nettare makes a mean breakfast sandwich with a gooey fried egg that will drip all over the aged cheddar, bacon, or housemade breakfast sausage, and housemade English muffin, so soak up some of that yolk with the fried potatoes. Be sure to split a flaky maitake mushroom tart while sipping something from their extensive tea selection or Metric Coffee espresso. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson
"From the street, Nettare looks like a boutique liquor store with a line-up your Obscure Wine Of The Month Club would envy. But the shop is just one part of this great all-day cafe, bar, and seasonal American restaurant. In the casual dining room decked out like Design Within Reach: Jungle Edition, you’ll find dates trying the $68 tasting menu, groups of friends drinking seasonal cocktails with ingredients like pear brandy and grappa, and solo diners downing dishes like crispy-skinned walleye or beef belly swimming in a green garlic broth. Next time you’re in West Town with a group of plan-commitment-phobes, Nettare is a good slashie solution to any dining or drinking indecisiveness." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"This West Town newcomer has a small and mighty baked goods program. The scones, sweet onion tart, and biscuit are delightful on their own. They’ll also make that into a sandwich, part of a prix fixe weekday brunch menu on select days. Service starts at 10 for brunch on Wednesday through Sunday. But that counts as a late breakfast, too." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"When: Wed-Sat 4-6pm The Deal: $8-$12 Cocktails, $5 Off Draft Beer, $15 Half Bottles Of Wine, $2 Off Snacks From the street, Nettare looks like a boutique liquor store with a line-up your Obscure Wine Of The Month Club would envy. But the shop is just one part of this great all-day cafe, bar, and seasonal American restaurant. Head to the back for Happy Hour, where you can drink discounted half bottles of pet nat rose and snack on latkes or radish butter smeared on grilled focaccia. Next time you’re in West Town with a group that’s all tapped out from making hard decisions at work, Nettare is a good slashie solution to any drinking indecisiveness." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Executive chef John Dahlstrom (BLVD and Table, Donkey, and Stick) dishes out Italian and Mediterranean-influenced fare made with local ingredients at Nettare, which also features a bottle shop stocking Midwestern wine and spirits. Drop in from 4-6 p.m. for specials including $12 classic cocktails, $10 highballs, and $15 half bottles of wine." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
