Wise Acre Eatery — Restaurant in Minneapolis

I have eaten here couple times and thr good is great. Love the farm to table food. I am a big person on fresh quality and not prepackaged foods and this place is amazing for the food. Both times I was there around brunch on a Saturday and the breakfast menu was really good both times. I got a breakfast bowl with carnitas meat and it was amazing. Lots of flavor, texture, color in the bowl from crispy potatoes to delicious carnitas to a smooth and silky and cooked perfectly. The pickled stuff in it was different and a great contrast to the other parts. The micro greens are a current favorite to added nutritional boost and getting these on both plates here was awesome. The bowl was a lot of food added meat made it right amount for me, the added meat not necessary but highly recommend. The eggs benedict was a different take. It is one of my favorite breakfast menu items. This take I could appreciate the concept but it was a 4 star for me. I really liked the cornbread that you can tell is fres and made in house if not at least near by. That was a great variant that I may have to acquire when I make it at home. The ham was delicious, it said maple cured and we use only pure at home no maple flavored but the maple flavor I was hoping for more of a pop from, maybe using a little maple syrup in the hollandaise sauce? Anyway the eggs were perfect and topped with micro greens as well. The hollandaise was, well not enough, or jot enough of a flavor, it was minimal and really felt like an after thought rather than a main focus which when ordering a Benedict the 3 things are required, a great hollandaise that is fore front, a take on ham, and a base. They had 2 of 3 spot on. Thus I would say 4 out of 5 for it great meal still don't get me wrong but could have used a touch more hollandaise with a bit more of a flavor or focus on that aspect. Great place will be back. Also like how they jave some fresh produce, baked goods, and farm fresh meats in...

Food gets 1 star. Service gets 1 star. My husband & I made reservations for 5:45 to leave plenty of time to make a 7:30 play. We needed every minute because the service was so slow. We were seated at a duce against the wall where we were promptly ignored. No water refills were offered until we asked for the check. I drained my glass and drank most of my husband's. I got a black bean burger with fries. My husband got the Brie burger with fries. The fries looked so much better than they tasted. The fries were crispy on the outside, under-cooked on the inside. The homemade ketchup made with green tomatoes didn't cling too well to the fries, but it was tasty. The bun appeared to be supplied by Cub Foods. We shared the Plato salad--it was good. Wyatt, our server, appeared to be a newbie. Was slow to take care of us. He never mentioned the soup of the day. You should look at the chalkboard yourself for beers on tap and specials, because our server never bothered to tell us about it. We preferred a better 2-top, but we're told by the woman in charge it was reserved. When the young couple appeared at 7:00, the woman in charge served them. She walked right past our empty water glasses with picture of water in hand. We tried the vanilla custard--it was just okay. The rosé wine and the Bauhaus Wonderstuf was tasty. After spending $51 per person for burgers, fries, salads, 2 glasses of wine, 2 glasses of beer, 1 scoop of custard, and subpar service, I can't recommend this place and won't be going back anytime soon. With so few tables filled for an early dinner, I thought the service would be better than slow and I certainty didn't appreciate having an empty water glass for half the meal. My husband's empty beer glass sat there...

So the food and the lemonade is AMAZING, however, they get one star because the employees are so rude, well specifically one employee. I’ve been there 3 times and each time the employees just get even more rude. So they have kind of a weird policy where they don’t let you sit until you order, and I can see the idea that they want to give people ordering the preference on seating. Well so today I went and it was completely dead in their heated outdoor area with no one sitting out there and there was one party ordering before mine but it was really cramped in the entryway so I went to sit down at a table in the heated outdoor area where no one was sitting because I was feeling lightheaded. I didn’t think anything of it because it was dead, I was not feeling well, and the current party had over 6 other tables to choose from. However this SUPER rude employee made me identify my party which was now ordering at the time and blocked me from sitting down. She literally physically got in the way of me sitting. Like if it was busy and there was limited seating I would completely understand but I was not preventing anyone from sitting or taking anyone’s spot because it was dead. I purposefully went to the outside heated area to be out of the way also. They stick so heavily to the rules with zero regard for kindness, people, or context. I think this employee just so badly wanted to yell at me or yell at anyone who sat 1minute before their party finished ordering. It’s a major bummer because the food is good but I just can’t get over that rude lady yelling at me for...
