Steak disrupts the perceptions of a typical steakhouse while honoring the legacy of one of the great culinary foundations in the Twin Cities. The restaurant features an elevated yet accessible seasonal menu, along with a variety of cuts of meat, dry aged in a display case.The lounge has been given a modern makeover with chic furniture and marble table tops. A selection of living floor plants divides tables to create intimate seating. Bringing warmth to the room, the bar and adjacent fireplace keeps guests cozied up to a menu of progressive cocktails.

    I had a great time and even though it was close to close our server was amazing and helpful. The food was amazing for the prices. I personally had the Salmon and for $43 it’s out of this world good. Overall I would suggest this to anyone looking for a fancy but budget place with great service.

    We were there for a 9:30 AM breakfast reservation, we had the French Toast and the Fried rice breakfast also a side of bacon and Turkey sausage. The bacon was perfect, the sausage was terrible the French toast and the Fried Rice were both very good. However, the table across from us were 3 people that had obviously had plenty the night before and one individual had this voice that grated like broken glass at a pitch that was hard to describe. It was much nicer after they left.

    One of my favorite Mexican restaurants! It has the coolest vibes, the best guac and best enchiladas! Their margaritas are amazing too! Located in the Hotel Ivy, it is a fun place for a staycation and to be able to eat and relax with genuinely delicious food all at the same place!
