    We have been to Hells Kitchen before, but we went this time for their Hell A Dazzle and it was amazing. I hope they do this every year because now that we know about it we will be back next year in December. The holiday decorations were so cute, the Christmas drinks were delicious and the food as always was amazing. The service has always been superb. Five stars for sure. If you’re looking for a festive meal with great festive ambience this is your place.

    Highly recommend Hazelwood! We went with other couples and we all agreed we probably had the best steaks/food we’ve had in a long time! Loved the cozy, Christmas atmosphere, and all of the staff were very efficient & friendly! Crab cakes and green beans were amazing appetizers!! We are from NW Iowa, but we will definitely come back to Hazelwood at our next visit to Mpls!

    We had an absolutely fantastic holiday (and birthday!) lunch celebration! Everything was spot-on – our food arrived piping hot, the salad was perfectly chilled, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The rotisserie chicken sandwich was amazing, “the” chicken sandwich with candied bacon was a total hit, the chopped salad was fresh and delicious, and the chicken wings were finger-licking good. Service was quick and seamless. We’re already counting down the days until we can return to one of our favorite spots!
