    I’ve been to the Nicollet Island Inn for weekend brunch 3 times in the last year and found it superlative in every way. For lunch though, on this occasion, it felt like the portions were clearly smaller. The quality was there but they missed the abundance I’m used to for their brunch items, including sandwiches. The waiter was nice but a bit chatty. It was also nice when the chef came out to see how our experience was. However, the baseball cap on his head was a bit at odds with a feeling of elegance I always have at the Nicollet. So, it was a bit of hit or miss compared to what I am used to. In the end though, I will be back. No where else has the beautiful Old World charm it has. Now I’ll know though that lunch might not be the ticket for me.
