Minerva's - Sioux FallsGreathave been there before and it is always very enjoyabte5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic!We recently dined at Minerva's in Sioux Falls. It was a special occassion (35th wedding anniversary!) so not just ANY place would do. We immediately thought of Minerva's, based on past dining experiences there, and it did not disappoint! We arrived and were met w/a friendly greeting. We were seated right away in a great spot. Our waitress was personable with just the right amount of attentiveness. Then there is the food....fantastic! We highly recommend Minerva's!5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat, but not superbI brought my fiance out to eat and we both had an amazing time. The food was absolutely amazing. We got there somewhat early, about 5 and had reservations. Didn't really need them, but it was good to be guaranteed a seat. The only complaint on my part was the server. She did a good job, and did her job well, but it was not the kind of service you would expect from such a nice restaurant. I work as a bartender and server in a upscale private club and I feel like there was just something missing from the service being provided. But she did her job well and took care of us. It was my only complaint. I had a very pleasant evening with my fiance and we enjoyed it.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThey have a great salad bar,They have a great salad bar, and by great I mean words don't do it justice. Thats of course if you're into something like that. Also I have never had a bad dish here, and everyone always comes away happy.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife and I were celebratingMy wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and we had not been to Minervas in quite some time. We both had a steak and they were both in the top 5 of any steak that we have eaten. We would enjoy eating at Minervas more often but it is a little bit out of our price range.But we will eat there again on special ocasions.4/8/2013 12:00:00 AMMinerva's is the stalwartMinerva's is the stalwart of the restaurant scene in Sioux Falls.

This time, I made a reservation for a total of ten people for lunch before the St. Patrick's Day parade. I was a bit concerned that it would be overly crowded and our table would not be ready, etc. But everything was ready when we arrived (fifteen minutes early). We were put in a back area with several other large tables set up for lunch. Everyone was pleased with their lunch. Several of us got the salad bar. I tried one of the St. Patrick's Day specials (Shepherd's Pie); it was very tasty! The staff were friendly and efficient, as always. Even with a large group on a busy day, Minerva's did not disappoint!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMAbove average Steak, Great ServiceI enjoyed the prime rib that I had, and my girlfriend enjoyed her steak and Alfredo. The only issues I had were that I wasn't able to get a reservation at 6 o clock, and had to take a reservation at 5 instead. But when 6 o clock rolled around, the restaurant was empty still. Also my prime rib wasn't the best I have ever had, but it was still very good. I would have preferred either more Au Jus on my plate, or the Au Jus on the side. But my girlfriend's sirloin was delicious, and the salad bar was great. The servers were outstanding. I never had an empty glass.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMMinerva's provides consistentlyMinerva's provides consistently excellent food. The atmosphere is warm and the background music is just right - not too loud or too soft. I always appreciate restauranats where it is easy to converse without talking over loud music. Minerva's is always a great place to relax and enjoy an excellent meal and conversation. The waitress was very responsive to our needs.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AM
