Our server Benjamin was phenomenal from start to finish. My fiance and both have worked in the industry for years, in Boston, Nantucket and Aspen and he is the best server we have ever had. The food was excellent, the vibes, top notch and the photo booth was so much fun!

Fantastic food - loved my steak and my wife loved her burger. Sushi was great as well. Neat interior - very sophisticated feeling. Service got pretty slow towards the end of the meal but that's fine - we loved it!

Had the pear sandwich for dinner, the queso for the chips was homeade and next level good. My date had the bison tacos, they were delicious. We had the lemon ricotta hot cakes and bison Benedict for breakfast the next morning. The service was excellent, I am going to recommend it to everyone going to Minneapolis and I will definitely go again.
