   Owner was very accommodating and the service was excellent. The wine and food was fairly priced and quite tasty. Would recommend for anyone looking for a memorable night out in Bismarck.

   Went for a special occasion and experience was so bad, we will not return and encourage others to avoid this mess. Arrived for 5:45 reservation, but had no idea we were coming and told to find a seat. Waited 15-20 minutes for menus when there were only 3 other tables. Waiter, who appeared to be shift manager, came to take our order, but excused himself because he had to go grab something to take order. While waiting his return, the lady behind us is complaining her pasta isn’t even room temp. This should have been our sign. My wife ordered the Florentine with side salad put first and I ordered the Philly with fries. 20 minutes later, my Philly is brought out and were told it’ll be a couple minutes on florentine. As we try to ask about my wife’s salad the waiter shrugs and turns away. As I take my first bite of the Philly, I realize not only is it missing ingredients, but also my fries. So finally 10 minutes later when the Florentine is brought out, we address the missing ingredients, missing salad, and missing fries, to which we’re told they will check on it. About 5 minutes later, a waitress comes to tell us the salad will be out shortly and that my order was put in wrong but was being fixed. Another 5 minutes goes by and my wife’s salad is brought out, but I addressed that it had been 20 minutes since receiving my Philly and I was still missing ingredients and my fries, to which I was told that they were “trying to figure it out.” At this point, I just walked up to the counter to pay my tab and to voice the frustrations of our experience. The manager literally decided to let me have it about how he’s part time and not sure what’s going on (this was our waiter) and that they were one person short up front and two new cooks and he wasn’t sure “what the f*ck I expected.” They removed my Philly and the fries I never received from the tab, I gladly paid for my wife’s meal and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Special Occasion reservation…

   Forget the typical date night, check out the Lemur and surprise that special someone in your life! My wife admitted to me that she would have dumped me if it wasn’t for our first date here. The food is diverse - seafood from North Dakota’s many oceans, Napa Valley wines from ND’s many Napa Valleys, and exotic dishes from ND’s many jungles. Exotic fruit-infused-water on tap will take your taste buds over the edge. Entertainment that you usually only see at the Fargodome. You just can’t go wrong!

   I do not recommend this lemur. The atmosphere is terrible, the waiters are slow, the food is not tasty, the prices are disproportionately high for such bad service.

   Great standard menu and very exciting South American temporary menu. The self service wine dispensers are easy to use and lets you play around with trying many wines.

   This wine bar with a rather extensive menu was a gem to find in downtown Bismarck. My dining partner and I sampled several different wines and made our own "flights" using their card system to keep track of what we enjoyed. We had a delicious flatbread and a salmon bowl - which was excellent. The latter came with a side salad which was not really needed. The prices are very reasonable, and the place has a cool vibe. We will definitely come back.
