Searles On Fifth Ave - Saint Cloud

BEST BAR IN ST. CLOUD!We had the time of our lives Friday September 17th 2021! We were singing karaoke with one of the best KJs in the business. The staff kept up with the crazy packed party going on. We met the owner and he was friggin awesome! This is a must stop people! Reasonable prices and extremely fun!

The food was great and Sierra was fun fabulous and a little flustered when teased her. We will be back.

This was stop 1 of 4 on a progressive dinner in St. Cloud. We had chicken wings app. Classic restaurant. I’m glad to see it open again ! I first came here 35 yrs ago. The wings were great. Other dishes looked good too. Bartender very friendly, fun and helpful.

We made reservations for 5 only to be sat in a tiny, crummy booth in the back of the bar, right up against the dart board where people were playing darts. We did our best to look past the atmosphere because we had heard how wonderful the food was. When making a reservation, we thought there was nicer seating available.Anyway, we sat down and our server was lovely but she was literally the only person tending bar, waitressing and running to change kegs etc. We sat and waited and waited and waited to order. We completely understood how busy she was and weren't in a hurry but the atmosphere for a nice dinner was just so poor that we decided to leave.Before we left we noticed the menu looked amazing but we couldn't get past how uncomfortable we were and how dumpy the atmosphere was. They need new booths with dividers that go way up in between the booths so you don't feel like you are sitting down to dinner with strangers. Nicer lighting and moving the dart boards would help if the small nook in the back is the only option for dining.I hope that one day, their great food can once again be experienced in the fine dining atmosphere that once held the space of the 3rd floor. We would have loved to enjoy the food but the atmosphere was horrendous.We will try it again once the world is back to adequate staffing levels and the seating arrangements there are better.

Good food and good service. Gosh, I love this town.
