One of the best places for breakfast in downtown, esp. compared with hotel food. Great energy and menu selection as well as friendly and energetic wait staff. I do detect a little deterioration of the overall food quality however. BUT still the best around!

Lived up to the hype. Friendly staff, fun/clean interior and delicious food. The Hen Potatoes (rosemary roasted tri-color) were incredible. My basic breakfast and cup of coffee was $25 with tax/tip which felt a bit on the high side but judging on the weekend lines out the door … the demand exists.

First time in town and 2 people on my flight recommended this place so I tried it and it was top tier. Had the basil wings and Jalenpeno wontons, quality.

Go to Hell! My group hosted a casual gathering in the underground room while conferencing in MSP this month. And I attended an event on another evening. Everything was fantastic, from booking with Jolene to working with Alisha and the team on the evening of our reception. The food was good, the photo booth was fun, drinks were awesome, and everyone had a wonderful time! Definitely recommend!

Holy moly this place is amazing. From the very first moment you sit down, all the way through the meal, you know you are in for something special. Every single side was excellent and the bone in tenderloin was to die for. And don’t even get me started on the carrot cake! So glad we splurged on this meal.

The Pho is excellent. Waiter recognized a mistake in the order and wanted to correct it, but we said, 'No', because everything was delicious. Atmosphere and food reminded me of a few 'hole in the wall' restaurants I had encountered in Japan and China. Just to try other items, we're going back tomorrow. 😋

I went here on my Birthday and I waited 20 minutes before anyone asked if I need help. I wanted to dine in and it was only one family in front of me. The waiter cleaned off two tables and the first family was seat be then I still had to wait for a table that was all the way in the back. It was two other groups ppl who came in after me and was seated at the same time I was. I asked the waiter does she take the order by who was seated first. She told me yes but I don’t who was here first. I told her I came in before the other two groups and proceeded to serve the other groups first.. my child and I was hungry and that’s why I didn’t leave. It was close to their closing time and my experience was not good nor was the food. I’ll never go there again. The waiter never came to check on us and on top of that I had to ask her where my baby rice was that she never brought to the table.. I don’t know about anyone else experiences but it wasn’t good..

What a great club!! Excellent sound. Even screens behind the stage for additional viewing (don’t see that too often in jazz venues). Staff was effective and welcoming. I enjoyed my drink and dinner too. Would definitely visit again.
