46 North Pints & Provisions — Restaurant in Fargo

For us, 46 North Pints & Provisions is simply exceptional in every way. The ambiance is very unique, small-town Fargo warmth with big-city cool and sophistication. A nice balance. For someone from London's heart, I have been blessed to eat in some of the world's best restaurants and Michelin starred chefs. I can honestly say that Chef-owner Blake would be welcome in any of these to cook his interpretations of comfort foods with a down home, refined and unique twist. His dedication to detail food-wise is fierce as is his creativity and discipline to keep his creations unique yet true to their original and simple concepts. A hard feat to accomplish in today's Midwest gastropub clones that nearly always fall far short of London's original concept. However, Blake and company hit the mark, perfectly... so much so that Jolly old London would welcome them with open arms. As a celiac, my diet is very restricted and most places don't cater to it properly due to the time involved and missing skillsets in food prep and ingredient knowledge. 46 North Pints & Provisions went far out of their way (including using multiple clean pans) to ensure my food was indeed gluten-free- to the point of Blake coming out personally to speak to me. The result? The finest true gluten-free steak salad and Kale and Sausage soup I have ever had. Anywhere. Truly, 46 North Pints & Provisions is Fargo's best gem gastro-cafe that everyone should visit at least once...and regularly in our case. The only thing Blake and company need to add to make a truly world-class place? A fine Italian coffee (Lavazza, etc.) and handcrafted lattes... as there currently aren't any on the menu. And looking outside I could see scores of people walking by to purchase coffee elsewhere. A decaf would be really appreciated... to sit, relax, and enjoy those huge glass windows after a really fantastic meal. P.S. Our server Carly was first-class... always friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and eager to help and go...

Driving through Fargo and needed a place to stop with our dog. This place was highly rated but we had a much different experience. Starting with the pros: the cauliflower appetizer was outstanding. Delicious and really well seasoned. We had a newer hire as our server and he was really kind and attentive. Cons: The patio is completely unshaded and deeply underwhelming. My husband had the fish po boy and I had a garden salad with salmon. His was fine but also underwhelming. Mine was disgusting. The Dijon vinaigrette was so acidic it left my mouth with a chemical burn. The salmon was flavorless and part of it was cold and raw. I was barely able to stomach half of it. It was also $30!? Maybe this was our fault but the meat ad ons for the garden salad are very confusing. The full salad is $12 and the one with salmon said $18. We assumed this meant $6 addition for salmon, not $18 for a piece of undercooked, unseasoned, and clearly dyed fish. *Before anyone can respond and blame this on our server who was new, he was kind enough to check on the pricing when we raised confusion and someone in charge confirmed the price was correct. Conclusion: I would return for a beer and an appetizer, but I certainly wouldn't eat dinner here again. You can spend the same and get far...

Food is OK. Service is INSANELY slow, and it wasn't even that busy. We were seated and after 20mins our server never came but then people seated after us got service. The bar manager ended up coming outside to tend to us. We ordered our food and drink and asked for our bill right away.

The food was disappointing and the sautéed veggies are lightly sautéed and smothered in some salty gravy. The fried cauliflower with honey mustard is pretty good, we all liked that the cauliflower wasn't mushy. The risotto was very very bland and was missing something - idk, put dried cranberries in it or something if it's meant to be vegetarian, and a lot more than 1 asparagus sliced into fours.

Drinks were really tasty though, absolutely recommend checking out their cocktail and mocktails.

Not sure I'll eat there again, but the outdoor seating is comfortable so maybe we'll go for a...
