This location is blocks away from my job as well as close to home. I recently looked over the menu and found that they offered quite a few non seafood options that sounded good enough for me. The menu at this location is a bit different than the others. They have some daily specials, HH and even some seasonal dishes. I went with the Tennessee Hot Chicken sandwich and my mom got the Crispy Lemon Chicken. The sandwich was good, wasn't as spicy as I hoped it would be but still good. I upgraded chips to cajun fries and those were good. The Crispy Lemon chicken was okay to me, my mom enjoyed it but didn't like the mashed potatoes it came with. She said they were too lumpy. We also shared a crab cake - still too fishy for me lol, but my mom liked it. I got a raspberry lemon drop martini and it was a bit watered down tasting but I'd definitely go back and try some other options. Our server was really nice and attentive. Made the experience overall great. Generally a nice space/atmosphere.

The Farfalle was piping hot and rich in flavor. Jim warned me that it was heavily salted. He was right. But I countered the salt with a lot of pepper. It tasted good to me. I'm going to follow it up with Apple Crisp a la mode with a Loon Juice Apple Cider. The folks sitting down the bar from me enjoyed their portion, so I'll give it a try as well. It turned out to be a good combination. The apples in the crisp and the apples in the cider were just different enough to compliment each other. Until next time...

The waitress didn't appear to be loving her life that day but it happens. She answered all of our questions on the menu and we went with a wrap and a burger, plus cheese curds to start. Food was good, exactly what you would expect when you walk in. I will say this place is super busy, for it being a bar in the middle of the day- you would have never known. By the time we left the place was popping and there was no where to park. The avocado burger was good, I did a side of onion rings and everything hit the spot. I liked that we were asked if it would be one check or two as soon as we sat down vs. having the awkward conversation later.

We will hit this spot next time we are in Minneapolis!

This is definitely a "I'd come back" restaurant for me. The atmosphere was classy and upscale…read morewithout feeling overly fancy or intimidating. The inside is beautiful and made for a really nice dining experience. We started with the Eichten's cheese curds, and they were excellent. They were soft on the inside, some had a great cheese pull, and the spicy dipping sauce paired really well with them. I ordered the Flat Iron Frites. 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.

During my stay, I enjoyed breakfast, the bison empanadas, ice cream, margaritas, and espresso martinis, everything was delicious and well prepared. Many hotel bars are known more for their drinks than their food, but this one exceeded my expectations in every way. The quality of both the food and beverages was outstanding, and the service was great as well. I would highly recommend stopping by whether you're staying at the hotel or just looking for a great place to eat and enjoy a cocktail. Can't forget the ambience! It was great.

Service was fast. Our server checked on us many times to make sure we were taken care of. Great service. To the point that I just finished my plate and he instantly took the plate away as well. lol Food all tasted good. Zucchini fries is soft in the inside and a little crispy on the outside. I wish it was crispier. Brussels sprout was good but a little burnt. Fish is crispy and good. The burger was good as well. Price is reasonable. Definitely worth going but just mind the loud ambient

From the moment he greeted us with the most gracious smile and genuine kindness everything started to feel better. Our order was very specific and a bit complicated yet Shaun remembered every single detail perfectly. Honestly better than we could have ourselves. (We were raving about the food in the hotel room as well. Couldn't have asked for a better meal!) That level of attentiveness is rare and so appreciated. Beyond that he took the time to engage with us in conversation and made us feel truly cared for. Knowing he has been there for over 25 years speaks volumes and it is clear why. Shaun is exceptional in every sense of the word. I truly hope he receives the recognition and praise he deserves. He made a lasting impression on us and we are so grateful.
