Raspberrys

Raspberrys Bistro and Fine Pastry is located at 1512 Dakota Avenue. I love to try something new just for the experience, good or bad.

Based on the name alone one would expect to walk in and see a display case filled with beautiful pastries. This was not the case, and yes, it was a bit disappointing, but we were still willing to try this restaurant for the experience.

What was found was a quaint little establishment, the décor styled in bohemian retro, and the tables were an intimate setting with candles and fresh flowers. Trying something different, I made the decision to have the catfish sandwich with apple slaw that came with fries. When the food arrived, it was extremely pleasing to the eye. The catfish was deep-fried and served on a foccacia bun with the apple slaw resting on top, served as an open-faced sandwich. The fries were served in a metal cone packed and piled high. The portions were definitely not disappointing.

The apple slaw was crisp and refreshing and was a great accompaniment to the catfish.
