This was one of the best meals we have ever had! The service was amazing from the moment we sat down. We had delicious appetizers, drinks, entrees and desserts. Even our pickiest kiddo who has lots of food allergies was happy! He said he wanted to go back for every meal. If you’re heading to Minneapolis make a reservation here! And Hazelwood, if you are looking to open a new location please come to Madison, WI’

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!
