Reunion

Great service, unique/flavorful cocktails, and great food! Highlights from the menu:- Bang bang shrimp - crispy, perfectly cooked, flavorful, garlic ricotta base was a unique and perfectly paired dipping sauce- Drunken Swede - good cocktail if you like bourbon and blackberries, a little on the sweet side- Brisket Melt - Wow! Talk about an indulgent sandwich - brisket, avocado, and pepper jack on sourdough is as good as it sounds. Cole slaw was a nice fresh contrast to the heavy and saucy melt- Rosemary's Eve - 9/10 gin drink. Mixing with the rosemary sprig is a nice touch - turns the cocktail into something special and nicely nuanced with the IPA float. Would never think to make this at home, but it works!!Will definitely be back next time in town. This place is the perfect hangout spot for a weeknight dinner and cocktails

A friend of mine lives in Northfield and Reunion has been our go-to to get some cocktails and food for brunch and lunch. We were able to get out on the patio this time also- bonus!Food was good and our server was nice.What I ate: "Greg's" Sliced Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Swiss Cheese, Herb Aioli, Tomato & Lettuce "Loonar Martini" Loonman Vodka , Espresso Cold Brew, Loon Coffee Liqueur, Simple Syrup

We visited as a group for a random Thursday get together. My State Burger was excellent and cooked to order - medium rare. Seved on Texas Toast. A bun would have been better as the bread fell apart due to its juiciness. My side was the mac and cheese and it was very bland and not very saucy.A friend ordered the Tres Tacos pulled pork and really enjoyed it. Another friend ordered the Johnny salad and raved about it. We all loved the parmesan fries.Don't miss the chocolate mousse cake, it was a big hit.Great service and nice atmosphere, we will be back again.

Fantastic speakeasy feel with cozy environment. The open fire grill provides a vibe that makes this a must visit restaurant. I got wings and chips and they were fantastic.

Nice bar and grill in the heart of downtown Northfield. Be sure to leave some time before or after eating to walk the downtown area and check out all the quaint stores nearby. The food and drinks were delicious and well-priced. Service was excellent and timely. Kid friendly (during normal eating hours).

I've been wanting to try for quite awhile. A group of gals and I finally went and tried it. Service was good, friendly, although forgot quite a few things. No worries. We did make a reservation and the table was all set for us right when we walked in. I got the shrimp risotto with fries and carrots! Delicious. I do wish the shrimp were a bit charred or grilled though. The carrots were cooked to perfection and the fries are something I will always get! My friend let me try her chicken tenders, very good with ranch! I tried the green beans too, no seasoning what so ever on them. Will be back.

We were hoping to have lunch here, as the place was highly recommended to us. It looked great, but unfortunately upon entry we were hit with a strong chlorine smell, and my kids asked to go elsewhere. It was busy, and looked well-run. We will give it another try next time we are in Northfield.

I want to start by saying that Reunion is an excellent restaurant located in the city center of Northfield. They have a pretty diverse menu, so you can find almost anything you're looking for. I visited with a few friends. One friend was vegan, and they ordered a black bean burger and really enjoyed it. TL;DR -- Let me start by saying that I visited Reunion for the first time on a Friday and returned the next day. The food here is quite good, and the service was amazing. I'd highly recommend ordering from Ben at the bar. He's personable, knowledgeable, and an all-around trustworthy counsel for navigating Reunion's menu. I ordered The Matador cocktail and the Rib dinner my first time visiting Reunion. The Matador was a nice, orange-based Mezcal cocktail. The Ribs were nice and tender. Mine were slightly burnt around the edges, but the rib meat was nice and tender. The food was so good on Friday that I returned on Saturday. That day I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of M. Chapoutier Rose and Reunion's hand-breaded, "fresh, never frozen," chicken tenders. The rose was light and refreshing. I'd highly recommend it! The chicken tenders were the highlight of my visits to Reunion. The breading was light, and the chicken was buttery. I ordered both honey mustard and bbq sauce. Overall, Reunion is an amazing place to visit. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in Northfield.

Some highs, some lows. TL;DR I'll absolutely give this place another try. Was in town for the St. Olaf parent's weekend. Following the concert, we headed to Reunion. Were seated promptly. It got quite bust but our server was friendly and attentive and the beer selection was solid, and the Old Fashioned delicious. Ordered some Brussels sprouts - one before were ordered and one with our order they were so tasty. The bummer was the second order came after our meals arrived. Meal arrival was were things got rocky. First I'll say the food was good. But there were some issues. My wife and I had the French dip (a special) and when they arrived there was no au jus - which is the "dip" in French dip. We waited a longish time to them to arrive. My 14-year-old's burger never did arrive, and the server had to put in the order again. She was very apologetic and immediately said the burger would be removed from the bill - all around solid service recovery. However, by the time everyone at the table had finished their meals, the burger had still not shown up, and he was starting to feel both sad and embarrassed. I got up to ask about it (it was at least 15-20 minutes after the mistake was realized at this point - again, we had all completely finished our meals) and the person I asked about it impatiently told me that they knew we were waiting on a burger, but that the kitchen was busy, and a lot of other orders were "ahead" of it. This is what places this as a three star review. When it is realized that an order is screwed up, why is that order placed at the end of the order queue - why isn't it prioritized? That it wasn't, and that I was clearly bothering the person I was asking about it even though we were all trying to be understanding and polite about it - became the bummer of the experience. I don't think our kiddo will want to come back. But I'd be willing to give it another go. There were a lot of positives.

Great place for bar food and craft beers. Service is great, bartender was wonderful. Right in the heart of downtown Northfield. Get's a lot of students after 9pm, but before that is great.
