- DDr. JeffreyVIPMinneapolis - St. Paul •9 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoThe food was good but honestly felt down a bit from before they received their star. It's almost like the star gave them the right to charge more and reduce the quality. Service was great and the chef's counter is a great experience. I would forgo the A5 and the caviar. Overpriced for the supplement. Buy a bottle of wine you like versus the pairing.More infoMAASSPrice: Expensive• American• Central Beach•4.6

The food was amazing, I had the shrimp tacos and they were great! We also started with the traditional guacamole and that was delicious as well! The service was okay, she didn’t come by our table very often but I understand because it was so busy.More infoLona Cocina TequileriaPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Central Beach•4.1
