   The service was amazing and we love the space , it had been years since we ate here and unfortunately it isn’t totally up to the old standards despite high price points — the old standards Apple,cheese,chive salad and miso sea bass very good and well prepared , our guest had the lobster ravioli which he deemed terrible . After dinner we were served stone cold watery decaf coffee spoiling our fine meal —significant apologies about the coffee being accidentally poured from the wrong pot were adequate and appreciated but didn’t erase the issue as our meal ending . We loved this place pre covid and felt the service was still excellent but the little issues spoiled the experience and we all agreed it was “fine “ food but not as special as the price points would indicate . Really wanted to love it , in a city with amazing options, we most likely won’t return .

   Great atmosphere and drinks. The beet salad was amazing and our server Nate was very attentive. The lobster ravioli was good but in hindsight I think the Miso sea bass would have been better.

   Had a wonderful time. Even though it was during a snow fall, every employee was staying busy cleaning and helping eachother out. Beverage Director stopped by and opened our bottle of wine for us and chatted about the beverage menu. Everything on point from food, service and drink. Marked that we were celebrating a birthday that was never acknowledged, but did not damper the experience one bit!

   Third time to Lucrat. Same great service and food. Our waiter was Cole and he was attentive to our dining experience there. I like the spaciousness of the restaurant. The only drawback I've experienced there is it is on the cooler side. So bring a warm sweater and enjoy the dining experience.

   The server gave us the wrong take-home container. Instead of having 1/3 of our $135 ribeye, we found a box of rice instead. Otherwise it was a great night out and we did really enjoy the steak.

    Hadn’t been in a while- and not sure why. Had a fantastic meal! My lobster ravioli was spectacular and my son loved his Cafe Lurcat burger. Service was friendly and efficient. Perfect timing between courses. Looking forward to adding this awesome place back into our Minneapolis rotation of restaurants.

    My husband and I always enjoy our time at Lurcat and the food is usually always amazing. Unfortunately, we were not too happy with the steak dish. It was chewy and under seasoned and so was the tartare (under seasoned)The pork dish was absolutely delicious! We know not to order the steak and tartare again but will continue to go for the other delicious options!:)

    The food was great. I was surprised by how good a simple dish like the apple cheese and chive was. The server made wonderful recommendations. The only things that missed the mark for all of us were the menu descriptions. The menu descriptions for some entrees and desserts were misleading. The friend anglaise on the apple cake was too thin and was more like a basic icing. Everyone said the apple cake tasted more like a muffin. My friends were disappointed with the tort and wished it was described more thoroughly (could barely taste the almond) . Well probably just skip dessert in the future and stick to appetizers, dinner and drinks.

    From the moment we sat at the bar to our final bite of dessert, our experience was simply divine. The food was incredibly decadent, and while I'm sure everything on the menu is top-notch, if you get the wagyu beef you will NOT be disappointed. The ambience was intimate in the best way, and our server was impressively knowledgeable about the extensive wine list. Incredible hospitality, cannot recommend enough.

    The service and the ambiance was lovely. I loved the steak tartar but I was disappointed by the burger not being listed as sliders and mainly being a meatloaf without any toppings. It felt like a kid's meal. The bronzino was well cooked but the dish was boring and outdated and for a $50 price tag I believe they they can find a way to make something more interesting than something I could make it home. All in all it was a lovely experience but the food for being is overpriced as it is felt flat for me

    Very over priced dining experience. I was not happy with the quality of my meal and the noise level made conversation difficult. There was music playing out of a loud speaker directly overhead. My wagyu steak meal was tough and gristly. Going out for a $200+ meal should not be an unpleasant experience

    Our server was incredible and we loved the decor and ambiance. Our appetizers the grilled octopus and steak tartare were superb. Our entrees were the lobster gnocchi which other than maybe being a hair too buttery was excellent and the lobster didn't get lost in the other flavors which can be tricky and I was pleased to see. My steak however, the filet mignon, was sub par. Another table also had issue with their steak so I'm wondering if the supplier short changed the restaurant, or if the chef is skimping. My heart wants to believe the supplier made the mistake. It was cooked perfectly and well seasoned but too touch to be pure filet mignon and at a $95/head cost I want quality. The server was more than accommodating and replaced it with seared scallops which were positively exquisite. I really came in wanting that steak and was disappointed I had to send it back, which is something I never do. For $300 for two people however your QA needs to be on top of things. But I'm only knocking a star for that.

    Lovely setting for a romantic meal or celebration. Service is attentive. Very creative cocktails. Portions were just right-felt satisfied but not stuffed. The filet mignon melted in your mouth. Highly recommend the Cafe Mocha dessert-fluffy, creamy, not too sweet. Will definitely be back.

    The food was exceptional…. the service was good. Very sad how quiet it was… we were seated in the dining room by the window and the whole upper level near the kitchen was empty the whole evening. Wondering if the 22% service fee had something to do with it.

    Love the ambiance, beautiful setting and widely spaced tables, elegant appointments, but service was a bit below expectations -- 1 of 4 entrees arrived cold, post-dinner coffees arrived cold but were quickly replaced, extra croutons for pre-dinner cheese platter arrived after the entrees. Also I was disappointed to not have a pasta option on the menu.

    Restaurant was really cold for the second time in three weeks. You really needed to wear your coat to stay warm, in the restaurant.
