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

The restaurant was fully booked on Christmas Eve, our reservation was running late due to patrons staying longer than usual. We were delighted to find seating in the bar instead and were equally delighted with the service, the excellent food and reasonable prices. It was a wonderful experience all around.

The menu was interesting and our entrees were excellent. Jen was a very pleasant and efficient server. This was our first visit and will definitely be back. The only negative was the noise level.
