   They didn't have a lot of vegetarian options, but we really enjoyed the Forest Mushroom Pappardelle. We will very likely be back.

   Food was tasteless and cold. Sent one dish back asking to heat it. Server returned with it, had been microwaved. Did not encounter her again until I asked for check. Disappointing experience and food was awful

   We were seated at a high top table but it seemed there were plenty of low tops available. It is a hotel restaurant so shared a bathroom with the hotel lobby. You have to ask for a key to use it. (Just FYI) The ambiance is hotel lobby bar, the menu is quite limited. I cannot eat onions and everything on the menu had onions. The wait staff was amazing because they went to the kitchen and figured out with the chef what I could eat. I ordered the walleye and they switched the starch to French fries (no onions) it was very good! My husband had the hamburger and it was also very good! We live over an hour away (in town for a show) so I wouldn’t make a special trip back there… but if you are staying in the hotel and want a good meal I would recommend it.

   Terrible service sitting at the bar waited over 10 minutes to get waited on for cocktails and there was six people sitting at the bar like we didn’t even exist. Food was great and they weren’t understaffed either. We’ll go back and give it another try.

   Didn't realize that this is the hotel bar. However, after finding some easy on-street parking, our group welcomed a quiet place to gather and share some interesting non-overpriced food and non-stingy drinks before seeing a show at the Ordway. Service was perfect.

   The staff are down to earth when prompted with chit chat, and are professional, appropriate, and classy when the occasion calls for it. Great ambiance, great food.

   Good was mediocre, service was terrible. Our waitress told us we would get waters “when they have a chance”, disappeared for long periods of time and had to be reminded multiple times to bring out elements of the meal we ordered. We didn’t receive a side of fries that was ordered until we reminded her 3x and were already done eating.
