    we got right in when we got there The service was great. Our waitress was there to get us refills and anything we needed without asking and was very sociable. I believe her name was Vanessa or Veronica Already had reservations for my future visit and requested the same White staff for that next one

    Best prime rib dinner (including side and bread), along with the best smith and kearns drink I’ve ever had. Service is unmatched. Food is consistently delicious. Experience is something to truly look forward to! If I could score it more than 5 stars, I would.

    For first time experience, it was moderate for a restaurant. I bought my mother there for her birthday, nothing was special done for her birthday, like most other dine-in areas do. I know it’s not a requirement but it would make it a more respectable rating for the place.

    I have been eating at Minervas for 50 years and its always been top notch. With the exception of Nov. 9 2023. We had a server that was among the missing. We waited and waited for him to show up. To say that he never checked our table would be an understatement. At one point I saw him so I asked him if he put in our orter. He replyed that it would be out next. I ask him if he was going to bring our salads out after our meal and he just walked off. Minervas dose not deserve a employee like that. I have had countless outstanding meals and recommended countless people to Minervas over the years. I hope you don't get the same servere wee had.

    Flavorful filets cooked to order, but would have been better if served on a sizzling platter instead of a plate. Ordered the mushrooms but couldn’t taste any butter or garlic. The bread was good.

    I placed the order on Open Table but before we got there I called to make sure we had the reservation and they DID NOT have our reservation at all. Luckily they had openings. It was quite busy, our waitress rarely checked on us. We waited forever for bread for our table & water. I ordered the soup & salad but I had to ask 3 times from our waitress to get it. It was slow and if you wanted to go back to the salad bar you had to ask for another plate which also took forever. We were celebrating my birthday, they never offered me any treat and it was expensive! Not sure I would ever go back again!

    The salad bar is offered as a meal in itself. Not a bad choice as there is so much to choose from. We did it as part of our meal, the salad plate they give you is huge and a single trip is adequate especially if you have the soup as well. You get a side if you order a steak which was a nice surprise. Service was excellent, timely and thorough without being hovering. No room for dessert but they looked great. Wine list decent and reasonably priced. The steaks were amazing and cooked to perfection

    Food was pretty good! Could’ve been seasoned more or made with love? It just seemed pretty basic but the price made sense overall. $100 and we ordered drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Our server Heather was so sweet and very attentive! Overall— we had a nice time!

    Cute place but the some food and cocktails were below par. Worse French onion soup ever. It came right away and appeared to have been assembled in advance and stuck under a heat lamp for a few minutes. Cocktails were overly sweet, even ones compared to same version same and else where. The salmon and asparagus, and walleye were fine but absolutely basic. Do not go here if you want a fine cuisine experience. Reminded us of our 70s prom date.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner with friends. Food was great and so was the service. The only negatives were my husband ordered creamy horseradish with his steak and he said it was not up to par. The other was the dessert menu - disappointing. It needs to be updated with new offerings. The couple with us ordered the key lime pie and received this deconstructed mess with these weird lime gelatin balls on it. Not great. But overall, it was a lovely evening!
