    Cajun Chicken Pasta
    Debbie W.

    We met up with family here for our final vacation night in MN. What a perfect meeting place! We had reservations and were seated right away. Our waiter immediately came over and took our drink order followed by our food choices. The food came out very quick, especially since it was so busy. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious! We ordered the 1/4 roasted chicken plate, the Cajun chicken pasta, prime rib French dip and two orders of the chicken wings. The bread slices were also delicious. The atmosphere is somewhat loud, but not annoyingly so. We would definitely go back!

    I've been to this restaurant at least a half-dozen times now, and my experiences have ranged from great to just okay. With that said, I'll share some of my favorite parts of dining here and a few things I've noticed over the course of my visits. One thing that stands out is that the service isn't always consistent. The only times I can say it's been truly great were when we specifically asked for Ivan, who does an outstanding job and is a character. There's also a female server I can't recall her name for the life of me but she is very good as well. On the flip side, a couple of other times the service wasn't bad, but it wasn't quite up to par either. The host stand, though, is almost always excellent. The ladies there are welcoming and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Only once did I have a hostess who seemed off her game, moving us around to different tables because they weren't clean or no one was covering that section. Still, most of the time, they set the right tone for the evening. As for the restaurant itself, the decor has a nice, somewhat romantic vibe, and the food has been consistently good on every visit. It's definitely become one of our go-to spots. Another plus is that there's plenty of parking, which is always a relief. On my most recent visit, a manager even came over to introduce himself and check if we needed anything. That was a nice surprise and made the experience feel more personal. Now, for the cons. Service tends to slip if we don't happen to get one of the more seasoned servers. The wings also aren't consistent--sometimes they come out perfect, other times they're a little pink. Since that seems to be the usual way they serve them, I think it would be better if they asked guests if that's okay rather than just assuming. Also, be prepared to wait if you come on a weekend or even a weekday after 5 PM, because it fills up fast. All in all, my wife and I have enjoyed our visits and learned what times and days work best for us to get our favorite staff and avoid the long waits. Between the good food, the nice atmosphere, and a few stand out servers, it's worth coming back even if there are a few inconsistencies here and there.

    Beautiful place. You smell the delicious aroma from the parking lot! I came here originally to try the wings, but there was dishes that grabbed my attention I couldn't miss! Service was Anne was great! Very attentive and kind.

    This is for the wings, and for the service I've had here. The wings are to die for! I am in love with them and I am a wing girl!! Also each time I have been here I have had fantastic service. All of the waiters have been quick, super nice, funny and kind no matter what time of day. It seems to be slow during the day until about 5 or 6 then this place gets busy. I enjoy sitting in the booths at the bar but if you have a larger group or want more of a dinner experience the back room is very nice.

    Nice presentation/plating (though are they attempting a summoning with the asparagus? Lol)
    Rick Z.

    Yup, it's faaawncy. Which means it's both a little pricey and smaller portions, but lovely presentation and great, unique flavor. Honestly, the deserts were the most affordable thing on the menu. Lots of alcohol options, if that's your thing. The inside ambiance is also fancy... somewhat dimmed lighting, but loud and bustling inside. There's some but not a lot of outdoor seating, and a large square bar in the center. Employees were kind enough and attentive to our numerous refills (my father-in-law drinks iced tea like a fish). Bathrooms were fine, though only a single men's stall for such a crowded, high-occupancy place isn't the best (might I suggest making your bathrooms all-gender?). Might end up going again sometime in the future, but maybe not? We just moved to the area, so we've got a long list of places to try out to find out what's our fave!

    Woodfire rotisserie. Smells so good
    Kristy H.

    The smell of the wood rotisserie when you first walk in the door is AMAZING. The service was great. The server was kind and helpful with fun suggestions to do while we were visiting Minneapolis. I got the Reuben . I am always looking for a good Reuben . I was not disappointed, so much flavor and big portions I brought 1/2 back to the hotel. My husband got 1/2 chicken w/ mashed potatoes and green beans. So good. Chicken falls off the bone and so flavorful. We were so surprised to only see a few people in the restaurant. If this was in California there would be a line out the door. Oh and we got a pice of the mudslide cake to go . Also amazing.

    I really enjoyed this restaurant - everything I tried was great! I was with a group and we shared the walleye fingers and buffalo wings. I think they are well known for their chicken and when you come inside you can see the chickens cooking in the wood fire. The ambiance is a step or two above casual - I would definitely recommend.

    Wood fire buffalo wings
    John Y.

    Came here for Father's Day and they were packed. The host greeted us and got us a table within minutes. The classic cheese burger was nice and juicy, the ribeye steak with fingerling potatoes. The wood fire wings is a must as well as the cream of wild rice soup. Wings are roasted to perfection. The star of the meal was oven roasted Alaskan Halibut over hash of artichoke hearts, red bell pepper, fingerling potatoes, onion & arugula, lemon cream, basil pesto aioli. Our waitress told us that it would smell fishy but would not taste like it and she was right. The halibut was delicate and moist. The basil pesto aioli paired very well. The arugula gave the dish a freshness.

    Butternut Squash Soup
    Kathleen K.

    Service by Lindsey was the best part. My companions like this restaurant a lot better than I do. They have half-priced bottles of wine on Mondays which is a great deal. I had the Butternut Squash soup and it was very good. Autumn in a cup. My friend really liked her Cavatappi and another ordered the half-chicken. She took the leftover chicken home to her dog. I ordered the Scallop Risotto and was disappointed. The menu description is shown below. My first bite was just lemon oil. Then I could taste the yam. The risotto itself was very plain and didn't taste of mushrooms. The fennel really threw the dish off. The scallops were very good and cooked perfectly. The flavors didn't mesh at all. Seared Scallops & Mushroom Risotto-pan seared scallops over roasted crimini risotto with fresh fennel, broccolini & parmesan cheese, lemon oil, crispy yam shoestrings. We didn't have room for dessert.

    Came here Saturday afternoon and was seated right away! We sat out on the patio and our waitress was very accommodating with our seating and helped us move umbrellas so that we could have preferred sunlight seating!! Our meal was amazing, no complaints. Outside they have music playing, but it is at a nice volume. Tables are spread out, so you're not too close to any one. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it!!!

(After we asked two wait staff) Service was slow and we did not get drink refills during our meal. The food was good and on our appetizers (potato skins, and garlic cheese bread) they did not skimp on the cheese as both were covered in delicious melted mozzarella. Pricing was very fair for the amount of food we received as well. TL:DR- good food at a good price, but sub par service and a Smokey patio

The response time to get a waiter was a bite longer than I expected but that was ok since it was happy hour. So I ordered the hurricane drink, fried green tomatoes, half bird with sweet potatoes and collards. I'll just right into my experience, the drink was 12/10 for sure! Not much to say on it except perfect. The fried green tomatoes were good just needed to be hot! The grits arrived like warm at best, but still a decent bite. The half bird (4 piece fried chicken) was extremely hot and juicy!!! I can't complain about that, the sides however could've used a little more attention. The sweet potatoes lacked so much potential due to them being puréed the only sweet portion came from the marshmallows and pecans which I wasn't a fan of. The collards were decent, needed a pinch or 2 of salt. Overall I would come again though to try different items. Just apply a little more love in the kitchen in regard to the seasoning and the dishes would be fire!!!!! Happy Yelping
