I have been here a few times now and have a hard time doing this review because I know what they are trying to be... and it seems like a review should reflect their success at doing that, not what the reviewer thinks they should try to be or tomatch any association to their namesake. Most recently, I stopped in with a couple friends for beers. One would think with thisbeing Haskell's, the tap beer list would be more diverse, local, and interesting but it is not, what they have is very standardstuff so any expectation otherwise will be dashed. (If you are in Excelsior and looking for craft taps, try TheSuburban . Given Haskell's is a purveyor of beverages (most notably wine and not food, one might not have any such expectationlike that for their food which works, as the menu is equally generic yet sufficient; as let us not forget, this place isbasically a bar with food, not a James Beard Award restaurant. I do find it both odd, and a little funny, how the outdoorseating is lined up looking at the sidewalk. If you walk by, it almost feels like you are on display, or headed down a medievalstyle heckler lane. Maybe that is just me. However, Haskell's is the only place in Excelsior that is trying to be, and issucceeding at, being that low key with straightforward fare like one might find in small Minnesota resort town. 4 instead of5 mostly due to somewhat inconsistent service, and atmosphere (be prepared for some cigarette smoke to come your way if youchoose to be outside. .

This is now our new Thai restaurant! The setting is chic and simple, staff amazing and so friendly. The food is so on point and the depth of flavor is on point.... leer más This is now our new Thai restaurant! The setting is chic and simple, staff amazing and so friendly. The food is so on point and the depth of flavor is on point. Best Pad Thai I've ever had !We opted for a 2 out of 5 for spice level and actually could have done a 3! If you liked Supatras, you will love this, just wish someone could bring back coconut noodles! We will be back!

I have been twice now and have really enjoyed the food both times! They were pretty short staffed and only had one hostess and one waitress for a Sunday evening... leer más I have been twice now and have really enjoyed the food both times! They were pretty short staffed and only had one hostess and one waitress for a Sunday evening. Even with that, the food came out relatively quickly. I this is definitely not your hole in the wall type place most of the entrées are over $15 if you?re getting meat.
