Great food. Only downside is that it is very loud inside and a little hard to have conversation.

Unfortunately it was way too noisy to enjoy our meals. The food tasted good but the noise really took away from the whole experience. Its really too bad as I liked the menu and the local sourcing.

Very tasty food, well prepared and presented. A bit noisy for conversation but that is good for the restaurant. First time there and we will return sometime.

Coalition was delicious! I went for a dinner before a concert and a friend and I shared a salad and some appetizers. They were all delicious and the server was very attentive and knowledgeable is the food and drink. Will be back!

We have eaten there many times and will continue to go but... this time was not so good. Our server had no personality or menu knowledge.

I’ve been to Edina coalition also - while both venues are small, tucked away style layouts, the excelsior location is def cramped and hence during busy hours less enjoyable.

Our Waitress could not figure out how to split a bill (with one gift card) between two couples. It was disappointing.

Food was great, per usual! The service was so/so. We were enjoying our food and company and drinks and was asked no less than 4 times by 4 people in a span of two minutes if they could take any plates. Shortly after this bizarre experience, our bill was brought to us, without any of us recalling if we were asked if we were ready for it. We actually wanted another round of drinks. Based on the plate removal requests and our bill, we were taking the hint it was our time to go. The thing is- there were empty tables around us, nobody waiting to be seated, and the restaurant was clearly still open (it was 8:30ish). The food was great, the service left a bad aftertaste. Our server was clearly ready to go home. Next time ask, and we will be happy to transfer our bill... or take our business elsewhere.
