Helix — Restaurant in Grand Forks

Called last night to inquire about the cheese tray. Asked if they can add a few pieces of salami. Was informed it is not possible. I intended to drink 2 glasses of wine with my cheese tray and whatever my guest would dring. But I didnt want to buy a charcuterie and a cheese tray as it would have been to much. I asked if I could bring three slices of salami from home. Note: half brothers allows customers who purchase beverages to order out from other restaurants. The gentleman on the phone said he didn't think it would be a problem but that he would ask the on duty manager (sandy or Sam a female anyway). As he is asking her could hear the entire conversation. Even though the gentleman explained it fine, the manager had to ask him to repeat the question three times. When the manager finally thought she understood, she replied in the snarkiest rude tone. Absolutely not. That is is standard at any restaurant. No outside food or beverage. I wanted to bring only three pieces of salami to add some meat to my tray and as I said above this is allowed at half brothers. Now if it was a no. Fine! But her tone and attitude have lost me as a customer at Helix. Very...

It had been far too long since we had eaten here. We were certainly excited for our Saturday night reservations. It was hard to stay away any longer. We had been looking at all of the great Facebook posts that Helix had been putting up showcasing the specials leading up to our visit. The regular menu has many excellent choices as well. They have a great selection of drinks too. We chose Crab Dip for our appetizer. It was a tough call, because there was a Thai Pork Belly appetizer that was looking delicious as well. Our server was prompt and attentive. We also got a hello from Brad so that's how it's an extra added bonus :) My wife had the Brazed Beef and Shrimp over Mushroom Risotto and I had the special of the day which was Beef Tips covered with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce over mashed potatoes topped with haystack onions. Both of our meals were absolutely delicious. I can't recommend Helix enough. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram to keep an eye on what they are...

Best filet mignon I've ever had! And the risotto side was phenomenal too. Helix never disappoints, it's always 5 out of 5 stars. The service is always 5-star too. They take really good care of their customers. Helix is easily one of, if not THE, best restaurants in town. Also their Chocolate butterscotch dessert is heavenly!

10/28/25: I came back and they recently changed their menu and added some phenomenally tasty things. I had their recently added scotch eggs and their Farmstead flatbread (I think that is what it was called) and it was OUTSTANDING. And of course I often choose their steak as a main dish because it's the best steak in town. Best food I've ever eaten. And the service there is always the highest quality. I can't say enough good things about Helix, they have always provided the perfect...
