The Jousting Lemur — Restaurant in Bismarck

Lunch time. Wild game charcuterie board. Elk sausage and possibly something else? No one working could really give us a rundown of what was on the board.(not even the kid that made it) Very underwhelming for $45. Chimi garlic fries. Fries were crispy but over seasoned. Chimi sauce was good. Very light, if any garlic flavoring in the aioli. Forgot to add the shaved beef that is an option. Pickled beet and goat cheese salad with chicken. Good salad. Nothing that sets it apart from any other beet salad. Not sure way it came out last. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Didn’t try any of the wine. It’s set up so you can self pour your own wine from different options. Not sure the process to do that. From other reviews it seems complicated. Beer menu has been downsized to a dozen different options. Apparently is used to be quite extensive with many more options then we were given. No darks, no IPA’s. Just basic beers. Was really excited to try it out but didn’t live up to the 4.5 stars. Service was meh. Too busy on their phone or just bs’ing at the bar. Had to ask for more beers and our bill. Food was ok overall except for the charcuterie. Don’t recommend it for lunch. Maybe dinner service is better. Can’t say we will...

I booked a reservation for their mothers day event and I was extremely disappointed. Completely disorganized. I had to go and find someone to seat us after waiting for 20 minutes by the front door. No one even acknowledged us when we walked in. The food was cold and not refilled as often as it should have been. Certain dishes were not set out at all There was literally no one serving us. I had to get up and ask for silverware, find plates and everything. They put onions in 9/10 of their dishes so I could barely eat anything due to my allergy. There was mold in the berries that were set out. I can't believe I'm paying $60+ for this experience. Wasn't child friendly. Didn't have a baby highchair. Staff was more concerned about staying in the back and washing dishes then serving their customers. I could have made a better mothers day meal at home that would have been warm. But wanted to treat myself since I haven't gone out to eat since before my...

Upon entering this fine establishment; know as the Lemur of Jousting, Ryan was quick to tend to my needs. I was greeted with pre-pandemic kindness and attentiveness that you’ll usually get only in the big cities. Start with the water, always containing fresh fruit and herbs to cleanse the pallet. The exotic foods and wines will have you skipping your next resort-vacation since you can get it all right here in the heart of Bismarck! Upon receiving your bill at the end of your dining experience, expect to ask if the staff forgot to charge you for something due to the low prices the Lemur has to offer! Whether it’s your first tinder date or your 50th wedding anniversary, maybe your night out with the guys or corporate get-together, I’d be sure to choose the Jousting Lemur...
