Good for special occasions

Restaurant located in Downtown Minneapolis. Walking distance from The Guthrie and US Bank Stadium.
We focus on large format food and beverage. Hate sharing? That's fine, I guess. We have solo options too.
Do you dream of sipping drinks out of a golden swan with your best friends? Is this beverage being prepared by a human wearing a white blazer? Umm, perfect. We have that.
Huge supporters of Business Casual Fridays, walk- ins always welcome.

The food was EXCELLENT. I had the short rib which was delicious. The cauliflower appetizer was also great. My only complaint is that it was a little too dark in there and hard to see the menu. I would highly recommend and will definitely return.

This was the perfect place to catch up with an old friend. The food is terrific, creative, accessible and totally crave-able. The service was on point, we felt so special and cared for. I can't recommend enough.

No valet and distant parking on a Saturday night in Minnesota in mid February caused us to be late for our 7PM reservation. Topping it of was the $15 event parking charge in the ramp three blocks away. We completely missed the entrance and walked around the corner in our search due the ridiculous placement of the sign that can only be seen from across the street. We were clumsily greeted and then seated at our table by the windows as requested. A welcome and appreciated bonus which was quickly (or slowly) negated by waiting for 30 minutes for our drinks. They did comp the booze which was a nice gesture but I would have rather paid to have the drink in my hand. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable but mostly absent during our time there. The place did not seam at all full and came across short staffed for even the modest crowd. On to the food. When three diners make a point of calling out the drinks and the wedge salad as being the highlights there is something not right happening in the kitchen. My scallops were minimal and seared nicely albeit on just one side. The lobster spaghetti had a wonderfully sublime flavor with the cognac sauce but you had to really hunt down the alleged lobster. The roasted quail was a big meh. Not much flavor, quite diminutive even for quail and just barely above room temperature. Not a difficult endeavor for the kitchen and maybe telling was the wedge salads. Served on properly chilled plates were fresh tasting with a zesty dressing, crunchy bacon and dill that brightened up the ubiquitous offering. Sad that it was the best thing set in front of us that evening. We had high expectations knowing that the “chef of the year” was running the show but those hopes were dashed by the experience overall and mediocre food. Far too many other choices in our great Twin Cities to put up with that.

It was a great experience. The atmosphere was so nice. Not noisy at all, we could talk across the table without a problem. The tequila old-fashion was amazing, and so was the sour! Even the fact that the food took a long time did not bother us since the atmosphere was so welcoming.
