The New to Sioux Falls Tour: 22Ten Kitchen Cocktails

Being new to an area provides a ton of challenges, but undoubtedly one of the best parts of any move is exploring your new digs. Having just moved here last month, my family and I are excited to explore the area, and I'll be detailing some of my findings along the way.

Over the weekend, my wife and I stumbled upon 22Ten Kitchen Cocktails, and decided to give it a try for our first date night in Sioux Falls.

The official website offers up this description of the style and vision of the south side restaurant:

Locally Owned. Artisan. Hand-Crafted.

22TEN Kitchen Cocktails vision is to create an awe-inspiring gathering spot for the Sioux Falls community. With a menu reflecting "American Eclectic" cuisine, with a focus on innovative, artisan plates, as well as some local favorites and everyday classics.

One of the first things that my wife and I noticed was just how well designed and beautiful the restaurant is. Nice hardwood tables mixed with great soft lighting make it a great location for any gathering.

We started out with drinks and an appetizer, and we weren't disappointed. My wife's drink was fantastic, a Cran-Orange mule:

We enjoyed everything we had that night, from the drinks to the great salads and entrees. The menu is very wide-ranging and imaginative, and if I had a word of advice; I'd go with something you haven't had before on the menu. The Brussels and Artichoke dip to start, Brutus Caesar salad, or even one of the great entrees, which range from Mac & Cheese to Salmon Ponzu.

It was a great night out and a clean, fun, and vibrant atmosphere at 22Ten Kitchen Cocktails. Safe to say my wife and I now have a place we know we already like as we continue to explore our new city. We may have to return before long, as we were told that they are cooking up a unique Valentine's Day menu as well.
