The place was very busy and had a good energy about it. I had the Jambalaya, which had chicken, sausage, and shrimp. It was pretty good and had a nice spicy kick. A good portion as well. Girlfriend had the shrimp etouffee with grits. It was nicely blackened and on a big bed of grits. Also spicy. Friend had the original lobster roll. He was surprised it came on Texas toast and not a roll. But he really enjoyed it. The dessert was a sinlme but delicious Cookit with ice cream. I recommend for restaurant week. And if you like seafood in the form of things like the lobster roll or shrimp etouffee that you don't get other places. I thought the jambalaya was fine but unremarkable. Not pictured here was the lobster mac and cheese. Which was only a small appetizer and I thought underwhelming (also, I don't like corn).

Smack Shack knows seafood, and the Seafood Paella proves it…read more The Seafood Paella arrives packed with perfectly cooked shrimp, clams, mussels, smoky sausage, and saffron rice that's loaded with flavor. Every bite brings something different, and the fresh seafood really shines without being overshadowed by the seasoning. The portion is generous enough to share, but you probably won't want to. The atmosphere is lively, the seafood tastes fresh, and the kitchen clearly pays attention to presentation as much as flavor. If you're looking for one of the Twin Cities' best seafood dishes, this one belongs on your must-order list. Fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor--Smack Shack delivers every time.

We visited and spent…read moresome time walking through the market, checking out all the cool things available before heading over to the café, which is located toward the left side of the market. The ordering process was quick and easy since there wasn't a long wait. I ordered the Connecticut Style Lobster Roll (around $36 before tax), and it was delicious! The portion was generous, the lobster was fresh and flavorful, and I definitely ate it way too fast because it was that good. My husband ordered The Coastal Burger and added bacon. It looked good, and he enjoyed it. We also shared some fries (which are ordered separately) and grabbed sodas from Northern Soda Company. Overall, we had a great experience. If you're looking for a satisfying lobster roll, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'd love to come back again and enjoy the patio space, and get fresh seafood. There was also seating available inside the café.

The ambiance was some of the best I have ever seen at a restaurant, as it was an old bank, there are some spots that are from the original building. It was so open and decorated beautifully. Despite being one open large room, the noise level was fine!! As it was my birthday, they greated me with a birthday card signed by the staff and I got a complimentary dessert. The food was fabulous; we had the chopped salad for an appetizer with their delicious pretzel bread and whipped butter. For dinner we had the mac and cheese, the mushrooms and the porterhouse steak. The steak will live in my dreams it was cooked to perfection wiith a chimichurri sauce to dip it in. The only thing I could maybe call not a re-order would be the mac, I think I wished I got the mashed potatoes but it was delicious nonetheless. Service was great, our wine and water glasses stayed full and they cleared our table off so fast. Definitely will be back!

Overall, I enjoyed the sandwich, but the service could have been a little better.

We made reservations without another thought. I ended up googling the menu and realizing my partner was a little off on what type of cuisine this was and I was in unfamiliar territory though still excited to try. We loved every second of our experience here! The decor was amazing, the service was exceptional, the food was to die for. They had a special Valentine's Day menu which included beef Wellington for two, so we got that. Asked if it had sides and they said no. I asked if a veg was possible, expecting frozen, microwaved bland veggies. We got beautifully roasted, seasoned veggies that were amazing. Plus the beef Wellington was melting in our mouths. Cocktails were also exceptional. We had an espresso martini and old fashioned which came with a table side experience. We ended our adventure with the sticky toffee torte which was another exceptional dish. Our server was so kind and so so knowledgeable about every item and restaurant in the owners catalog. Very impressive all around.

It was supposed to be served with crepes and I had visions of Saluf and Sons Yemeni restaurant in Tel Aviv (now closed). Here it was served with a French bread / hot dog bun. Crepe???? I guess French bread and crepes are from the same country, but count me as unimpressed.

We went early Saturday evening, with a plan of cocktails, appetizers, soup, salad and dessert in the lounge, to celebrate my birthday. Our waiter, Mike, made excellent suggestions on the wine list, and was attentive, friendly and simply a delight. The lobster bisque was better than I remember, with a wonderful broth and large, tender chunks of lobster. My husband's crab and lobster cake was large, crispy, and delightful, with a wonderful sauce and no filler and just crispy goodness. The beet salad and house chopped salad were both fresh and delightful. And who could forget their classic, incredible flourless chocolate cake with raspberries? The perfect ending. What a wonderful meal, in a simply beautiful setting, with impeccable service from the moment we approached the door to the moment we left. Capital Grille is still a refined classic with exceptional food and service. Bravo!

Oh my goodness this was amazing! Every thing on it from the top to bottom was delicious & so fresh!! If you like seafood, I highly recommend this. There was an abundance of lemons, cocktail sauce for the shrimp, horseradish for the oysters and a red wine vinegar as well. It was delightful. We also had the Wagyu beef tartar that came with some pickled red onions, and the combination was amazing. The service was fantastic. The bartender was nice & funny.

Great food, good vibes, and excellent service, but not as special as I had hoped. I brought a client here and we sat at the chefs counter. We enjoyed a range of starters and each had our own main. My biggest sadness is that the halibut was way over salted. The bison tartare was pretty good, and the tomato salad was great. My client loved her pasta. We were both a little disappointed in the squash blossoms special which really felt like a miss (so many great things to do with these... The preparation they chose was weird). The cocktails and wine were excellent and our server was lovely. The view of the kitchen was really fun. Just not as thoughtful overall as I would expect for the amazing reviews I had heard from others.

Boy, were we surprised! The seafood was so fresh when we ordered. We got the shrimp, crawfish, and snow crab legs. Maybe they just got their shipment on Monday, but it really hit the spot. They did mess up my order ( I ordered House Mix with Medium spice but got Garlic Butter with Mild spice), but it didn't change the fact I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. Also, their corn was great. I'm usually a fan of seafood boils that have a thicker sauce consistency (like King Cajun), so if you're the same, you might want to skip. Their sauce is a bit on the more liquid side. I would say if you're gonna eat here, place your order online and pick up your food and head out. It will hit the spot, but you don't want your car parked around outside cause it's honestly a bit scary.

This buffet has the best market side table salad buffet you'll ever have in your entire life. The meats here are so delicious the previous times that I've been here the meats had a liver kind of taste and smell, and I had mentioned that to the manager and ever since then I have not noticed that liver taste or smell ever again. The meats are absolutely so so delicious now I can't believe how delicious it is. I love getting the crème brûlée here. Nobody does a better crème brûlée coating on top. Nobody does it better than here. Next time when I order a crème brûlée or if I know I'm gonna order a crème brûlée during brunch I'm going to save some of the strawberries for the crème brûlée because around 1:45 PM is when they start taking some brunch items away and replacing them with the dinner items the dinner starts at 2 PM. The service was super spectacular. If you wanted a specific meat, you can ask your server to see when it will arrive so you can paste yourself while you eat. My best friend got the bloody Mary and wow was it loaded with lot of fun stuff in the bloody Mary and he said it was the right I'm out of spicy. I can't wait to come back here again. I'll probably come back here near the end of summer.

Parking is about what you'd expect in downtown Minneapolis (paid street or paid lots) but they do have a small parking lot in the back and if you're lucky you may get a spot.
