This spot is centrally located in Stillwater (right next to Candyland.) there are a couple of parking spots on the side of the building dedicated to the restaurant, but we were able to get off-street parking nearby.
The bartender was so excited about the seasonal drink so we took advantage of that (a deconstructed apple cider situation with a smoked rosemary sprig. Delish.)
The appetizers were amazing (get the Moroccan spiced anything.) We chose this restaurant because we have a vegan and a vegetarian in our dinner party and I knew this place would have great options for both meat and non-meat eaters alike (which they did). My bestie and I both ordered the chicken curry bowls and while the flavor was on point, we both agreed that the dish was a little too spicy for our pallets. I like spice, but I want a curry dish to be savory, creamy, and have just enough heat to warm my insides. This was more than that. I didn't end up eating much of it as a result even though the flavors were there.
The only criticism I have is that in the winter, there isn't really a place to sit where you won't get hit with gust of cold air as other patrons enter or exit the venue. Even though they have a heater above the door, this place could benefit from one of those thick, velvet curtains that wrap around the interior of the front door entrance to keep the cold air from wafting through the place. I didn't use the restroom, but our male friends did, and they said they could see their breath in the bathroom. (Perhaps there was a heating issue while we were there that they don't normally have. Granted it was also an extremely cold weekend in MN, so we knew it wasn't going to be perfect but it was uncomfortably cold sitting next to the windows and front door.)
The soundtrack was straight out of my teenage years (90s alt rock) which added extra charm to the place.
Thankful that the proprietors have continued to push the envelope when it comes to cocktails, mocktails, vegan and vegetarian options, and ethnic cuisine. Glad we finally tried the place out, but will probably head back in warmer months.
