Thank you . . . dined there last evening first time - full house! New Orleans style cuisine - the…read morefood was so delicious, everyone at our table had only positive comments about their food (and all of us had different menu items). We were given constant attention by many different servers. Our main server was full of menu suggestions, ingredients, and eager to please our palates. The only negative was the level of noise with the full house. In other words the acoustics need some attention. It was difficult hearing the other guests at our table. I would definitely recommend dining at the Krewe. I would ask for a table along the windows or maybe dine outside if weather permits. The food is worth a try!

We drove 2 hours for our anniversary for a New Orleans meal…read more The Blackberry Highball is very sour and not so fruity. We started with the Boudin Balls and Hush Puppies - both very good. My husband had the Red Beans and Rice and really enjoyed it. Lots of meat in it. I was hoping for Crafish Étouffée but it isn't on the menu any longer. So I ordered the Shrimp Étouffée. Very disappointed. Only 5 small chunks of shrimp. It also has a sort of poblano verde sauce or maybe a poblano Maque Choux without the corn. Lots of celery. And the small amount of rice. I didn't eat much of it, after the shrimp was gone it was just bad sauce. A wasted $21. The cornbread was nice with honey butter. We split the bread pudding for dinner and it is excellent - DON'T MISS IT! Service was excellent. Especially the bus boy / water refiller. P.S. They don't do anything for anniversaries. Not sure if we will drive over 2 hours each way for Étouffée that was mediocre. The Crawfish Étouffée was excellent last time.

We went there on Friday for the Fish Fry. I'll start by saying that the fish itself was great. It…read morewas battered and fried and came out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The disappointing part was that it took over 30 minutes for the server to even make it to our table and another 20 before we got our salads and finally water. I don't even want to imagine how long it would have taken if we had ordered more complicated drinks. One of our food orders was wrong when the server brought it to us (but I will say they fixed it fast). The overall experience was disappointing and I don't recommend going unless you have LOTS of time to kill before you eat or drink anything.

What a fantastic community space and outdoor recreation center! Totally makes winter in Minnesota…read moreeven better. I'm new to discovering The Trailhead at Theodore Wirth Regional Park, but believe me when I say I'll be back many more time. In the winter, they offer cross-country skiing and lessons. (You can rent a full set of gear for about $30- no need to have your own to experience skiing! They also have à la carte options for cheaper if you only need poles or boots, etc.) Besides skiing, outdoor winter activities also include snow tubing, snowboarding, snowshoeing.... You name it. (I haven't been in fall or summer yet, but I also hear great things about their mountain biking and trail running options.) Inside The Trailhead, there's food and drink concessions, ample seating, lockers, bathrooms, and even rooms for rent. The last time I was there, a family was hosting a young child's birthday party in the multi-purpose room. Altogether, there is an amazing assortment of services here to come and check out. Can't wait for next ski season!

The building is a perfect space for bringing a large group together for games, chatting, eating, and sledding on the snowy hills just outside the doors. They used to serve hot food, but they no longer have that option. The food was not consistent or anything all that special, but it was a nice option. This time we brought Thanksgiving leftovers and some breakfast bagel sandwiches. The space is well maintained and clean. It is spacious and has lots of room for young kids to run around and not be a disturbance. Always look forward to coming here.

Depending on the size of the crowd, parking and entry can be a breeze or really tough. It is a venue that has a lot of potential, with both the inside of the building and the outdoor field where ABR is held available as potential space. I guess I would say that I feel the ABR is too big for this venue and there are parking issues (not to mention the wrap-around-the-block hour-long wait to get through the gate). Other things I've been to at this facility seemed better suited. For the record, I do think that reusing an old building period is awesome. It's way better than just letting it sit there. :-)

They have a wedding planner included, Liz, and she is wonder woman! The entire venue is beautiful with so much to do and see. While the venue is already beautifully decorated as you can see in photos and comes with so many decorations, we also brought our own and they helped set it up for us! They have a fantastic reputation and working relationship with the vendors in the area too, so catering and other vendors went without a hiccup because of the seasoned experience everyone has out there. Many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to, all because of the venue and the owners and their team. It's unique, classy, elegant, and so fun! We didn't need it, but they did have the option to move the ceremony indoors as well. Don't hesitate to plan a short road trip out to see the location for yourself, you won't regret it!
