    I came here with my wife recently for a quick date night opportunity. We were in the area and looking for something fresh and new than just our same old haunts. I used Yelp to figure out what was around us and immediately, the well priced drinks caught my eye. Not inventive or extremely unique, they still sounded tasty and the price was right so we decided to come here and try out their menu and location. We were able to sit out on the patio which overlooks a small man-made pond. I never knew this was tucked away behind the building. The location ended up becoming a pleasant patio oasis in the endless sea of a suburban parking lot. The interior of the place reminded me of a more upscale Granite City or Green Mill. On to the food and drinks! My wife and I decided to share a martini flight and tried a couple unique flavors - key lime pie, passionfruit, and chocolate espresso. The drinks each had great flavor and were unique. I will say that we could tell these had been sitting for a bit so lost some of their presentative flair. Still tasted good! For the food, my wife tried her normal menu selection of scallops and this places dish did not disappoint. My wife kept going on on how much she enjoyed her dish. I snuck a bite and the scallops were cooked perfectly and it was very good. For the price, the serving size was very generous in terms of how many scallops you got. I, on the other hand, went with a seasonal salad. It was a Green Goddess Cobb salad and it was very good. Huge portion topped with grilled salmon. The dressing was homemade and married all the ingredients together. I had leftovers because it was such a big salad. While we were leaving, a table towards the entrance caught my eye. They had an assortment of appetizers that looked very good - wings, cauliflower bites, and some shrimp. We will be back to sample the apps. Great find in Eagan.

    Well: food flavor. Service. French onion soup: a classic for more than 35 years, never disappoints. Not so well: soup and entree were brought out at the same time. How do you keep your steak hot while eating your soup? Not possible. Steak was taken back to be under warming lamp: failure. Asparagus should have been hot; nope, ice cold. What should have happened: server should have asked if soup needed to come out first (although that should be understood), chef should have recommended for soup to come out first and then steak. When steak was returned, a new one should have been cooked. Asparagus should have been warmed up. Suggestion: make sure you tell your server in what order you want your food to be served. Should be pretty simple but they failed at this.

    Our server was very kind, but the food was mid. I asked for no mushrooms on the pasta and it was full of mushrooms. The fish and chips left a lot to be desired. The jambalaya and ribs were good. I usually like Houlihan's, but this visit was a miss. We will try again.

    Meatloaf Number 9
    Rickard S.

    Dinner at the location in Chanhassen prior to attending a show at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. Was a guest of my cousins. The food did not disappoint. Most of our part of five ordered the Happy Appy hour apps. What I tasted was delicious. We had the nachos, mushrooms, and potstickers. For dinner I ordered the Meatloaf No. 9. Mashed potatoes covered with a huge portion of meatloaf and a red wine sauce. French-style onion rings on top and green beans on the side. I have a weakness for meatloaf and this did not disappoint. My cousins split the seared Ahi tuna appetizer. One other person at the table ordered the wedge salad. My dinner was large enough I brought the leftovers home for Saturday lunch. I'm told there aren't too many locations for this small chain of represent in the Twin Cities, but if come across one of them I'll definitely be in there to dine with them again.

    Wine to start the dinner.

    Stopped here after a movie. Lettuce wraps, while an app, are so good as an entree. I even took a bit home for lunch tomorrow. Our service was excellent. While there was a short wait for the dining area tables, we found a booth in the bar area and caught the end of the high school hockey game. Great stop, as always.

    12oz Steak - ordered it medium
    Holly H.

    Very disappointed. Ordered a $33.95 steak medium well and waitress came back 10 min after it had been sitting there and asked if we needed anything else. I asked the waitress if they could throw it on the grill for a few more minutes - another 10 minutes went by and she brought it back saying the plate was hot from being "reheated" basically it was put in the microwave and was still rare & everyone was already done eating at our table. I just left it sit there without eating. Very disappointed in the waitress that she didn't even offer a resolution or check on us early in the meal. I feel like I was robbed of $30! The before side salad was basically shredded lettuce for tacos. Unappealing. Won't be back and again very disappointed that I paid for something that was clearly not done.

    a steak, macaroni, and cheese

    Went to visit my sister in MN and she took us to dinner here before snowboarding/skiing back in January. Staff was super friendly and very very attentive. We had a group of 12 and everything came out quick and fresh. Did I mention it was happy hour BOGO beer! Lol besides the beer food was amazing, we will definitely return to try the rest of their menu whenever we come back!

My NA drink had house grenadine that I was skeptical of in theory, but I trusted our server who promised it was not the sickeningly sweet stuff I was imagining. I am glad I trusted him- combining the grenadine with pineapple and lime too made it amazing. The fries were under-salted but the drinks, service, and atmosphere made up for it.

First off, going through the hidden Coke machine entrance is actually really fun and makes the whole place feel like a little adventure. The decor and speakeasy atmosphere are definitely the standout. Very cool space. VERY loud though. Like "lean across the table and say WHAT?" loud at times. The waitress was super nice and recommended a mocktail for me that called Ass in the Sand. It ended up being really good. It tasted like an elevated lemonade and was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. Started with the rolls and whipped honey butter which were delicious. Very soft, warm, and honestly dangerous because I could've just kept eating bread all night. For the main meal, I did the Wagyu Burger with Parmesan fries. The burger itself was okay but surprisingly didn't have a ton of flavor outside of the grilled/charred taste. The Parmesan fries were actually the standout for me -- hand cut fries and parmesan fries are just hard to mess up. My partner tried the Mushroom Soup en Croute and wasn't a fan because the mushrooms were blended and he said it lacked flavor. He also had a Steak Taco special using their medallion steak and said even with lime it still needed more flavor. Finished with Crème Brûlée which is always a classic favorite for me and this one was good. Overall: fun experience, cool hidden entrance, great decor, good mocktail and bread, but the actual food menu is pretty limited and the flavors didn't totally wow me for the price. Glad I went and finally crossed it off my list, but probably a one-and-done visit for me.

The steak was seasoned well, cooked nicely, and didn't have much fat, which I appreciated. The fries were crispy and came with house-made ketchup. I usually don't even like ketchup, but this one was actually really good. My partner ordered the deviled eggs as his appetizer, and he enjoyed them so much he finished them in no time. For dessert, we had the Strawberry Shortcake Crème Brûlée, and it was fantastic. I've never had crème brûlée like that before. It was a unique twist on a classic dessert and ended the meal perfectly. The only small downside was that the complimentary water tasted clean and fresh. But it was warm instead of cold. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service made for a great experience, and I'd happily return. Glad i was able to cross this one off of my list.

Some of the other items were also a bit hit-or-miss for my personal taste, but that's more about my preferences than the quality of the food.
