This was a spur of the moment booking while on vacation in Minneapolis. This place is amazing and so is the food the service the band that was playing and any person we interacted with. Its quirky vibe is quite unique and the fact that it has such a cool story makes it that much more special. Would go back any chance I would get. Hell yeah, Hell’s Kitchen!!!!! ❤️

Very expensive but large portions easy to share. Excellent service from Sean who was attentive, knowledgeable, pleasant and paced the meal exactly as we wanted. Lobster cakes delicious. NY strips needed to be returned to get them med rare but this was done quickly and a couple of staff checked back to make sure they we were happy. No holiday decor in sight but elegant restaurant and our booth was quiet and easy to converse. Still our favorite downtown steakhouse!

I walked over from my hotel as I was staying over before flying out the following morning. It was the day after Christmas and it was BUSY. The food was good. I’m had the chicken pot pie. The ambience was a bit loud because of the holiday - but I don’t fault the restaurant. I mean I would definitely come again next time I’m in Minneapolis. It’s also across from Mall of America
