    This dinner was a business meeting. Was granted a quiet booth in the back. The service was excellent. Eva did a great job. My bison ribeye was fantastic. Just slightly above medium rare as requested. My coworkers filet was very good. Bar was excellent as always.

    all very good. we are passing through from Colorado and Iowa. Love independent establishments as such. Food was solid. Old school salad bar. Got there 30 minutes early and had a cocktail at the bar and was immediately invited over to hang out with the Wednesday Study Group -- local raconteurs with a welcoming spirit, behaving the way small town-in-a-big town people do. Generous to a fault. Thank you. Eat and drink here.

    This was our second dinner at Minerva’s, and it was strange. They had a lamb chop and stuffed pesto pasta entree that I wanted. I told the waiter that I had cashew allergy and was concerned that the pesto had cashews. He told me that it didn’t but that the stuffed pasta did. So I asked him to substitute the stuffed pasta with linguini. He then came back and said that the chef wouldn’t make the entree for me because the pesto had walnuts in it, and I was allergic to cashews. I told the waiter that I was not allergic to walnuts and wanted the dish with the linguini. The waiter returned again and said that the chef would not serve me the dish because walnuts were too similar to cashews. This was the first time in my life that a chef did not serve me one dish because I was allergic to another dish. So I ordered instead an entree that I did not want as much. To be sure, they presented us with a free dessert—a lemon cake that neither of us wanted… we were going to order the panna cotta instead. But there you have it. Minerva’s would not serve me the dish I wanted because they did not believe that I was allergic to one tree nut but not another. That is just wrong and very bizarre. Hence, our three star review.

    The service was great, still a classic fine dining environment but our entree's were not the quality we would expect. I had the ravioli bolognese and it had no real flavor and my wife had the pork chop and there was no real consistency from one bite to the next. I would still recommend this restaurant to someone looking for a classic upscale experience but we probably won't return based on the food.

    We have always looked forward to the dining experience offered at Minerva’s, and last evening (08/12/23) was no exception! “Heather”, our server, was attentive and saw that our needs were met, as did the other wait staff. Our prime rib meals were wonderfully prepared and delicious. Truly a worthwhile night out!

    Food was delicious but I was surprised the mussels didn't come with some drawn garlic butter and a lobster fork. Steak avocado salad very good but giant wedge of lettuce in the middle should be broken down. Service was excellent until we finished and needed to pay the bill. We waited 45 minutes to pay the bill so we could leave. That was unacceptable. Your clientele is a little older and we found it a little too dim. Turn up the lights a tad.
