"My wife ordered the walleye with brined red potatoes, while I had a fillet with tempura shrimp. Let's start with the positives: the Caesar salads and presentation of both meals were impressive. The green beans and carrots on my plate were cooked perfectly, and the garlic mashed potatoes and tempura shrimp were crunchy and well-seasoned. However, there were some negatives as well. My wife's fish seemed off, possibly old or frozen, and her potatoes were over-seasoned with Bay Seasoning, making them inedible. My fillet was overly smoked and also couldn't be finished. When we asked our waitress about the smoker, she claimed they didn't have one, leading us to believe liquid smoke was used. Overall, we recommend more tasting in the kitchen before serving dishes to customers."

"The passion of the staff is what makes this restaurant stand out. From the chef with his carefully curated seasonal menu to the bartender (who provided excellent pairing suggestions) to our server (Scott) it’s clear the staff cares deeply about providing an excellent dining experience. We have dined here several times and have been lucky enough to have Scott as our server repeatedly and he truly adds to the experience. He describes the specials like he is reciting poetry and his enthusiasm is contagious. Most recently I enjoyed a seasonal squash soup that was beautifully complex, the truffled chicken which was some of the most juicy flavorful chicken I have ever had in a restaurant and the affogato which was classic and simple but absolutely delicious. I would recommend this to anyone and will return every time life brings me to the Bemidji area."

"Under new management so lots of changes. The new menu is smaller. The salsa is much better. Fresh hot chips. Unfortunately, we got chips and no drinks (honestly I think it was oversight) I'm not sure why, they were very busy. But after being seated we waited for 10 15 minutes before anyone came to our table except to stop and flirt with our baby it didn't ruin our experience. Once we ordered the food came out very fast. It was hot and wonderful. My only wish for my meal is it could have used cream especially once I tasted my husband's. In my opinion it's more authentic and less American which I really liked. We will be returning."

"I used to frequent 209 and loved their food. They used to have a unique menu with high quality preparation. Recently with menu changes and food quality, I have had two of the worst meals I have had at any establishment. The unique choices are no longer on the menu but the high prices one would find in a high quality establishment remain. It is disappointing to order just a burger and get a dry poor tasting patty. I wish it was what it used to be. I once recommended to everyone that visited Bemidji."

"I had an amazing speck pepper jack burger, and the grilling sauce was the best I’ve ever tasted! The service was friendly and attentive, the seating was comfortable, and our drinks were served quickly. The ordering process was efficient, and our food arrived promptly. I highly recommend this place!"
