Beholder

TL;DR: SO. GOOD. EAT. HERE.Ordered:- Oysters: delicious and fresh. I forget which ones but they were perfectly balanced between briny and sweet- Cabbage salad: wow this was a sleeper. The crispiness of the cabbage and the crunchiness of the toppings played so well together.- Steak and mash: Nothing spectacular but can't go wrong at all- McRib special: I loved that Beholder's take on the McRib was so heavy on onions and pickles. That said, if that's not your thing, maybe skipGotta love a restaurant that serves nice plates but keeps you grounded with shot and a beer combos to remind you of your rootsWill 100% be back to hit the tasting menuCheers, Beholder!

It's interesting to see something along the lines of fine dining on 10th street but even more impressive once you walk in. The vibe is quaint, super cool that you can see the kitchen while you're seated. Drinks were amazing, one of the best cocktail menus out there for sure. I went burger but wish I had not. The menu is fairly simple they give you only so many options but each has its own execution. Burger had a literal inch slice of cheese on it and a large amount of pickled onions on it. Different but I think it overwhelmed the burger. Fries were overcooked, not very enjoyable tbh. Overall the experience was positive so will probably be back to give them another shot and maybe not get the burger.

Beholder has a great ambiance with solid food, but may not be worth it at the price point. The highlight of the night was the burger which was perfectly cooked and high quality. May be the best thing on the menu and is a must order.The Kohlrabi Caesar salad was a fresh interesting take on a Caesar salad but left much to be desired at the $15 price point. The chicken quarter and the cereal milk tres leche were both good, but not anything special. For how much Beholder is recommended and how nice the ambiance is, left a little disappointed and expecting more. However the burger saved the night and with a constantly rotating menu, I'm sure there will be new creative high quality dishes to check out in the future.

We stopped in here for dinner early last Friday after catching a late afternoon movie at Kan-Kan. We snagged one of the last 2 tables that weren't booked from a reservation and got our order in before the rush, so it was perfect timing! The restaurant has quite a few different sections, but we sat in the furthest left area of the restaurant that faces one of the entrances to Woodruff Place. They have a lot of fun artwork on the walls, the one right across from us I kept imagining were sisters playing mermaids together lolWe each started off a with a cocktail (I got a French 75, he got a sazerac) and shared the broccolini salad. It was so fresh and flavorful! My husband felt the garlic was a little over powering, so he left most of his off, but I loved it.For mains, I ordered the KFC- Korean Fried Quail and OMG. The portion was huge- I was not expecting a whole quail, it was definitely very filling. The kimchi was sososo good, but I wish there had been more of it. I would 100% order this again if it was still on the menu when we went back, but it was so good that I would also be torn to try another amazing dish. My husband ordered the patty melt and it was juicy, tender, and came out on very fresh bread. The french fries were crispy and were nicely salted. I also got a glass of their sparkling (only one option) to drink with dinner and it was the perfect amount of bubbles and touch of sweetness.For dessert we ordered the Meyer lemon ice cream and the burnt banana w/ Parmesan and honey. The Meyer lemon was very fresh, tart and tangy. The burnt banana was on another level. I would have never thought those flavors and textures would pair so perfectly and I was so happy we opted to try that flavor over the cranberry walnut. The Parmesan was so finely grated that it melted in your mouth and added just enough savory to balance the burnt banana flavor, with the honey really bringing it all together. We also each got a pour of the Madeira Bual 1987 and overall it was just a perfect little dessert. The staff were all very friendly and were always making sure we had our waters full and empty dishes/silverware removed from the table. The bathrooms were very clean as well. Beholder turned our late afternoon movie into an upscale date night and I would definitely come back here again.

My oh my, now I know why everyone raves about this place. I came for the first time during Devour week and it was everything I dreamed of and more! I love the quirky decor and the cool layout. It's divided between 2 sections and there are endless seating options (bar, high top table, bistro table, large tables for big parties). I got 2 different cocktails and both were amazing. We did the devour menu and I got the grilled Caesar (yum), the walleye (so juicy and amazing), and the pancake ice cream (I'm a sucker for ice cream). All of it was incredible and I love that the menu changes often. I love an innovative menu and this place does it perfectly! My only negative would probably be the wait times. I stood at the check in for about 15 minutes before someone came up to greet me. The courses are timed out to where you're waiting for your next step. It's definitely a place to sit and enjoy your extended time! Great date night, special occasion, or just because! I also met John Green when I was there, so bonus points for that!

Cute place near Woodruff. Wouldn't notice it if you didn't know, but it's super vibey. Atmosphere is on point. Service is A+. Every course we got was awesome. There were no duds. I am not an oyster person, and even the oysters were great. Cocktail list was great. Overall stellar, would go back and definitely recommend!

The food was excellent and the sommelier fantastic. Will be back. Love you guys!!!! Honestly would highly recommend beholder- and all alway southside recommended. Carmel will be lucky to have you Josh!

Absolutely terrible experience. I've been here once before and all the food was overly salty and then I gave them a second chance and they canceled my reservation last minute.

Good food and service, weird ambiance. It was our first visit, dined at 5:30 on a Saturday night (our 10 year old with us and noted that in our reservation) and were seated in a small front area so we never saw the rest of the restaurant. Bummer. Assuming we were sat there because we had a minor with us? But it was such a small, crowded space with no music. There were 2 other tables sat just 2-3 feet away from us. The food was good but we've certainly had better portions, quality and experience for a $300 check. I can't say enough about how awesome the service was so this was no fault of the service staff! Just left feeling unimpressed by the restaurant itself.

I am obsessed with this place. Granted, I've only been 3 times in the past 2 years but I think about it all the time. The most recent visit was at the end of May. As always, the ambiance is very "cool" feeling with different seating locations That give you a different experience. Sometimes, they have a DJ but always playing good tunes. We got to sit at the bar that overlooked the chefs cooking, which is always an automatic win for me. So cool to see them doing their thing. We went on a weekday so they were busy enough yet not slammed. we got to chat with the manager for a little while about our cocktails and wine. The wine menu is incredible. We got some cocktail with verde chile in it and we loved it. Got the oysters, papaya salad, burger and the fish. So delicious. I really want to try the pasta rags with wagyu.
