    My boyfriend and I have been wanting to check it out so we went for his birthday. It was during a snow storm so they closed the kitchen early but was able to get our order in before! Our server was SO great! Our food was delicious, however, my chicken looked a little under cooked but I also worry about my food a lot so I am sure it was fine. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

    The food was good. We all had the fish fry and liked the breading on the fish. Good size portion. The service was poor. Our waitress disappeared several times for quite a while. And, it took a long time to get our bill. A person in our group remarked "if I sit here much longer, I will want dessert." Interesting but we were not even asked that question. Need to do better.

    The parking sucks and my truck almost got towed because apparently the antique owners next door don't want people parking in their lot when they are closed. I was parked we're there was no sign saying no parking. Also when going in the front door it was not shoveled and I had a 86 year old women with me and had a hell of a time getting in the building without her falling.

    We booked this restaurant, first time going here, for our meal before attending a concert at the Xcel Center in St Paul. Staff was polite and attentive. Food was fabulous! We’ll be back!!

    We were sat in a back room of sorts that was chilly and had poor lighting (more like iridescent vibes). The tables were definitely similar to folding tables with a black table cloth thrown over them. Due to the temperature of the room the food got cold rather quickly. We were confused as to why we were sat in the back “makeshift” room when there were tables and booths available up front in the main space. Our server was very attentive and friendly.

    It was freezing in there, we had to wait quite a while for our drinks and then for sauce for the shrimp and we had to ask for butter for the bread... food tasted good but overall experience was very disappointing. :(

    IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW THE LOADED BAKED POTATO WAS A $1.50 EXTRA WHEN ORDERING. I DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL THE BILL CAME. THE PRIME RIB HAD AN AWFUL LOT OF FAT, BUT WAS VERY GOOD AND PERFECTLY PREPARED. THE ENDS OF THE GREEN BEANS COULD HAVE BEEN CUT OFF.
