Gatherings Café — Restaurant in Minneapolis

I've been hesitant to leave this review, because I love the message and purpose of Gatherings. Eventually I decided that as a chef, I would want to know. So here it goes...

We were a group of 3. Our order was a quiche, turkey melt, and bison tacos.

The quiche and turkey melt were insanely good. My kid is a picky eater, but she devoured the sandwich and my wife loved her quiche. The tacos on the other hand were inedible.

They were greasy, stringy, and the flavor was incredibly foul. I've had bison plenty of times. Cooked with it and served it in restaurants I've worked in in the past, and these tacos are by far the worst I've ever had.

I can't recommend Gatherings Cafe strongly enough. When I first called to check on their menu, I was assisted by a very nice employee that not only answered all my questions but also informed us that there was a gift shop there and a Native American farmers market down the clock.

The cultural and culinary experience that Gatherings Cafe and all the wonderful people at the Minneapolis American Indian Center and the Four Sisters Farmers Market provided my family will forever be a highlight of our time in...

Dearest Lucy (me) suggested Gatherings Cafe to the brunch bunch. Our newest provisional member Jackie arrived initially with Paul (not together, mind you). After some small chit chat, Danielle arrived and we got down to business (Lucy was running late). The atmosphere was special--a bare bones cafe in the heart of the Native American community center with the smell of freshly washed dishes. While they were tragically out of sweet potatoes, we all had food that we were absolutely floored by. Paul's only complaint was the kick on his breakfast burrito which left him a sweaty mess. The waiter who took our order quickly checked on Paul to make sure he was feeling well. Gatherings: come for the food, stay for the attractive...
