    They try tonhard to create unique sandwiches. The flavors were all over the place for the black and blue and the turkey burger. Sometimes simpler is better. The Brussels sprouts were unexpected. It came out looki like a cold dish but it was hot and not roasted type sprouts. Drinks were decent and the ambiance was fun. I have been to their sister locatio, the saddle room, outside Chicago. I felt the dishes there were better.

    Great lunch meeting spot in the heart of Downtown Minneapolis. Environment is perfect for a quiet lunch conversation, not drowned out by music or other noise. Highly recommend.
