We had a reservation for our anniversary dinner and Minerva’s did not disappoint! I called Victoria’s Garden florist and had them deliver a centerpiece for the table and the staff made sure it was in place and everything was perfect. Our server Dave did an excellent job making sure our experience was great. We are visiting from out of town, but look forward to returning once again before we leave. Thank you again for a job well done!

We had reservations for a party of eight on New Year’s Eve. The wait for the food was at least 45 minutes, but it was excellent when it got there. Healthy portions of salmon, walleye, steak, meal salad. It can be difficult to do but both of the fish entrées were cooked to perfection! A little skimpy on the vegetables with the meal. The waitress and manager were very efficient and friendly! Great place for freshly prepared food!

I suspect these lovely folks may have failed to fully anticipate the amount they'd be busy on a Friday night - service was a tiny bit slow in a way that was really clearly downstream of there just not being enough waitstaff (even though the individual people all seemed excellent and competent and moving as fast as they reasonably could). But a good drink and a nice self-serve salad bar makes it really hard to worry too much about that! And the bison steak was, in fact, amazing (after a small snafu with my husband receiving initially a well-done steak instead of the requested medium-rare, which was replaced), I was fascinated by the interestingly different texture and flavor compared to a beef steak. Special mention for the mushroom whiskey sauce, which we were able to get as an addon with the bison steak instead of bacon, and which I 1000% recommend for any cut of steak, it was MARVELOUS - not only did it perfectly complement the meat flavor, it was independently just really amazing, if you gave me a soup bowl full of it I would happily eat it with a spoon. I would have liked to see a cocktail menu - I love me a This Particular Bartender's Specific Weird Thing He Made Up - but I can't complain about a simple glass of merlot with my steak, either. Overall, really happy with the experience.

The menu variety is great at Minerva’s - something for every taste bud. My husband had pasta primavera with a delightfully light cream sauce and yummy veggies. I was looking forward to my veggie stir fry with chicken, anticipating freshly prepared vegetables for a veggie-centric dish. But the broccoli smelled and tasted of being frozen! The chicken chunks also seemed to have been factory-prepared. Huge potential dining but low on delivery because of these shortcuts.

Let's see, we ordered a drink, then soup and salad to relax before the entre came out. Entre came right out immediately, so no soup or salad or relax time. Ordered a dessert to share, 20 minutes later it arrived. Really didn't taste fresh, disappointed. The main course food was good, just not a pleasant experience.
