    Been here a few times, and this was really the best experience so far. The server was awesome - sat on the patio. Food came quickly and was fresh. I had a salad with salmon - fish portion was a bit small, but adequate.

    Every person to whom we spoke was helpful, engaging and interested in our group. Shannon, our server, was especially outgoing and accomodated our every request with grace and a cheerful attitude. Very enjoyable dining experience for all, from young to old.

    We have visited the Beacon at least 10x. It's a great spot on the U of M Campus to have a meal with our student , to have pre-game drinks and food and just to spend time relaxing. The food is good, the staff friendly and the atmosphere is a nice "getaway" near a location that is outnumbered by college student hangouts.

    We were seated as soon as we arrived in a large comfortable booth as we had requested. Our server was Shannon and she was friendly and did an excellent job. Our food and drinks were tasty and made to order. We’ve been there several times. It’s a great start before a gopher hockey game.
