Reviews for Ode to Food and Drinks in Sioux Falls, SD
I've eaten here a few times and each time I left feeling like it was way overpriced for the average quality of the food. On this... trip I had the Chilean sea bass which is one of the most expensive on the menu. The fish was good but it was paired on a bed ofmostly raw greens which did not pair well with the flavor and texture of the fish. The candied bacon old fashioned wasacceptable for the price. The steak bites or Chislic was surprisingly White (see photo). Read more
It was not very busy but it took forever to get seated. The waitress was very friendly. I had been looking forward to trying... their black and blue burger for a long time. It did not disappoint but it was not as good as I had hoped it would be. The bluecheese sauce was exceptional, better than I had hoped for. I think I just had built it up in my mind and had unreasonableexpectations. I highly recommend it if you go there. The tomato soup was amazing. The water had a fishy taste to it, I don'tknow if my glass just didn't get cleaned well enough or what happened. I will definitely go back and try something else as therewas a lot of stuff that sounded good on the menu. Read more
It was my first time eating here and it was alright. The prices on the online menu were cheaper than the prices in the... restaurant. About $5-$8 cheaper which was misleading and frustrating. However, the location and ambiance was very nice and ourservers were on top of things. I love places with nice architecture and nice decor and this place definitely met thosestandards. The food arrived very fast. It was overall a nice experience. While the food tasted fresh my meal wasn?t worth whatI had paid for. I ordered the Florentina Ravioli which cost $28. I was hoping to at least be able to take home left overs, butthe serving sizes were not big and the taste of the food wasn?t anything special. Nice place, but I personally don?t think itwas worth the money. I would be open to trying it one more time but ordering something different. Read more
I had a great experience here and the food, drinks, and service was great! We also loved the location at the river-side and... getting to see the sculptures and art. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and my partner ordered the smoked florentine ravioli. ILOVED the sea bass and it definitely melts in your mouth. The miso sauce was a really nice touch! My partner, on the other hand,did not enjoy the ravioli because they felt it had too much of a BBQ sauce type flavor which wasn?t appetizing mixed with redsauce and pasta. I agree. Other than this, everything was lovely. They have amazing drinks too. Read more
Once again this is a place my wife chose while traveling. We always like to try something unique and not a chain restaurant. We... got a few sideway glances as we walked in. This was sort of an uppity restaurant, and I do not feel as if they thought webelonged. It made me think of the movie ?The Cowboy Way?. I almost asked for a popsicle. However, that does not faze my wife andI. We were there for the food. The food was actually pretty good and unique. The staff could have been just a tad friendlier.They were not rude by any means. We are just from the Deep South and like real friendly. Read more

Great food and a great experience. Showed up on a Friday night without reservations. Place was full inside, but we were able to... sit in their outdoor dining area. It was a perfect evening to eat outdoors. It took a little longer to get our food, but ourserver did a great job. The outdoor dining area overlooks the river area. Sioux Falls has done a great job revitalizing theirdowntown area. Great food, great atmosphere. Read more
