"Nestled in a hidden brownstone building with a cute entrance is where you would find Harriet Brasserie. The interior is classic and charming with a full bar and several tables for dining. The hostess who is also our waitress was attentive, polite, and patient; especially when it took us a long time to decide on what to order when my guest and I got chatting trying to catch up. The high ceiling and wide windows let wonderful natural light in which really let the decor shine with characters on each wall and a well displayed stocked bar. Though limited seating, the vibe of the place is comfy and welcoming. For brunch, I order the quiche lorraine made with bacon, onion confit, and gruyere. This dish was buttery smooth and fluffy with a great balance of savory flavors. I've had several quiche lorraines at many places for brunch, this one at Harriet Brasserie is one of my top 3 favorites in the twin cities. My guest had the tostadas with two eggs, crispy tortillas, pinto beans, salsa, queso fresco, avocado, and lettuce. Though the dish looks light in weight, the amount of pinto beans were plenty and filling. This dish was light in flavors but fills you up quickly. Wish I had ordered a drink from their menu or bar but that just means I need to go back for dinner. Overall, I would recommend this place for the atmosphere and to try some of their interesting dishes while sipping on a beverage. If a cozy dining space is not your thing, this place may not be for you."
