Bar Rufus — Restaurant in Minneapolis

Vibe is great, it’s adorable in there with the swanky velvet furniture with quirky additions like the feet on the couches. Feels upscale, but not stiff. They also had French music playing. Oh, and the wallpaper in the bathroom was a Loons print!

Service was also great! I believe our servers name was Jamie(?) and she was friendly & attentive. Gave great recommendations.

Drinks were a bit pricey ($15/each) however, that’s too be expected for downtown, except what’s different is they give you the extra pour. Dirty martini came with an extra carafe, and DIY olive brine; La Frenchie drink also came with extra carafe. Both very tasty! Old Fashion was also very good!

Food: definitely more small plate/app forward with limited entree options. So keep that in mind, but everything was very flavorful! We started with oysters, which tasted fresh. French onion soup is a MUST. Comes with pork belly. Terrines are also a must: Lobster Salad had loads of flavor with the perfect touch of heat with the Serrano pepper; Tuna Tartine was less flavorful than Lobster one but it was still just as delicious. Both were so decedent and buttery.

Excited to go back...

Went for happy hour, but nope, not happening. Ok, stayed to eat anyway. We ordered a ribeye and espresso martinis. Martinis came, were delicious. Ordered a side of fries, those came pretty quick. Ordered two cosmos, got one. Asked for the other one and got it. 50 mins in asked about the ribeye, it had never been ordered. Even though the server had asked how we wanted it cooked, etc. We had to get somewhere so asked for the bill. Asked to have a drink removed as we never got our food, service was poor. Server told us she "couldn't take one off, but could give us the employee discount" ended up taking a drink off. Drinks were $20+ each so still was $$. Server was apologetic but still wish we could have gotten food/ had a good experience or not had to ask to have a drink removed. Overall poor service and bad attitudes...

I ordered a sprite and it was in a small little glass cup which wasn’t enough at all. We also ordered food and waited for an hour before it came to us a good whole hour the food wasn’t even that good for it to be taking an hour then when we got the bill it was around $400+???? are you kidding me? And we wanted to do separate bills but we were told they couldn’t do that and there was no where that said we couldn’t do separate bills beforehand everything was just so complicated and the birthday girl was so stressed because of it you guys need to make the “we don’t do split bills” known or somewhere in bright bolded red also make it known that there is fries with the burgers and chicken sandwiches I spent nine more dollars for fries just for the fried chicken sandwich to have fries. prices are also...
