We consistently have great food, drinks and service here. First time tried the oysters, and they were super, and a good value at happy hour.

I walked over from my hotel as I was staying over before flying out the following morning. It was the day after Christmas and it was BUSY. The food was good. I’m had the chicken pot pie. The ambience was a bit loud because of the holiday - but I don’t fault the restaurant. I mean I would definitely come again next time I’m in Minneapolis. It’s also across from Mall of America

My partner and I do not like spicy food and found many of the menu items to be spicy. The waitress was helpful in letting us know which entrees/items could be modified though. In the end we were satisfied with what we did order. One unfortunate thing that did happen was I took the time to fill out your survey before we left the restaurant in order to receive a $10 coupon, but they didn’t have any way of connecting that coupon to us because we paid with cash. We left the restaurant as “complete unknowns” unless they use my reservation information.
