    Well: food flavor. Service. French onion soup: a classic for more than 35 years, never disappoints. Not so well: soup and entree were brought out at the same time. How do you keep your steak hot while eating your soup? Not possible. Steak was taken back to be under warming lamp: failure. Asparagus should have been hot; nope, ice cold. What should have happened: server should have asked if soup needed to come out first (although that should be understood), chef should have recommended for soup to come out first and then steak. When steak was returned, a new one should have been cooked. Asparagus should have been warmed up. Suggestion: make sure you tell your server in what order you want your food to be served. Should be pretty simple but they failed at this.

    Our server was very kind, but the food was mid. I asked for no mushrooms on the pasta and it was full of mushrooms. The fish and chips left a lot to be desired. The jambalaya and ribs were good. I usually like Houlihan's, but this visit was a miss. We will try again.

    Meatloaf Number 9

    Dinner at the location in Chanhassen prior to attending a show at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. Was a guest of my cousins. The food did not disappoint. Most of our part of five ordered the Happy Appy hour apps. What I tasted was delicious. We had the nachos, mushrooms, and potstickers. For dinner I ordered the Meatloaf No. 9. Mashed potatoes covered with a huge portion of meatloaf and a red wine sauce. French-style onion rings on top and green beans on the side. I have a weakness for meatloaf and this did not disappoint. My cousins split the seared Ahi tuna appetizer. One other person at the table ordered the wedge salad. My dinner was large enough I brought the leftovers home for Saturday lunch. I'm told there aren't too many locations for this small chain of represent in the Twin Cities, but if come across one of them I'll definitely be in there to dine with them again.

    Wine to start the dinner.

    Stopped here after a movie. Lettuce wraps, while an app, are so good as an entree. I even took a bit home for lunch tomorrow. Our service was excellent. While there was a short wait for the dining area tables, we found a booth in the bar area and caught the end of the high school hockey game. Great stop, as always.

    12oz Steak - ordered it medium

    Very disappointed. Ordered a $33.95 steak medium well and waitress came back 10 min after it had been sitting there and asked if we needed anything else. I asked the waitress if they could throw it on the grill for a few more minutes - another 10 minutes went by and she brought it back saying the plate was hot from being "reheated" basically it was put in the microwave and was still rare & everyone was already done eating at our table. I just left it sit there without eating. Very disappointed in the waitress that she didn't even offer a resolution or check on us early in the meal. I feel like I was robbed of $30! The before side salad was basically shredded lettuce for tacos. Unappealing. Won't be back and again very disappointed that I paid for something that was clearly not done.

    Went to visit my sister in MN and she took us to dinner here before snowboarding/skiing back in January. Staff was super friendly and very very attentive. We had a group of 12 and everything came out quick and fresh. Did I mention it was happy hour BOGO beer! Lol besides the beer food was amazing, we will definitely return to try the rest of their menu whenever we come back!

First off, going through the hidden Coke machine entrance is actually really fun and makes the whole place feel like a little adventure. The decor and speakeasy atmosphere are definitely the standout. Very cool space. VERY loud though. Like "lean across the table and say WHAT?" loud at times. The waitress was super nice and recommended a mocktail for me that called Ass in the Sand. It ended up being really good. It tasted like an elevated lemonade and was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. Started with the rolls and whipped honey butter which were delicious. Very soft, warm, and honestly dangerous because I could've just kept eating bread all night. For the main meal, I did the Wagyu Burger with Parmesan fries. The burger itself was okay but surprisingly didn't have a ton of flavor outside of the grilled/charred taste. The Parmesan fries were actually the standout for me -- hand cut fries and parmesan fries are just hard to mess up. My partner tried the Mushroom Soup en Croute and wasn't a fan because the mushrooms were blended and he said it lacked flavor. He also had a Steak Taco special using their medallion steak and said even with lime it still needed more flavor. Finished with Crème Brûlée which is always a classic favorite for me and this one was good. Overall: fun experience, cool hidden entrance, great decor, good mocktail and bread, but the actual food menu is pretty limited and the flavors didn't totally wow me for the price. Glad I went and finally crossed it off my list, but probably a one-and-done visit for me.

My first thought was holy bottles! There's tons and tons of bottles up and down the walls. The space is also smaller than expected, but we went in at 3PM as a party of 4 on a Sunday and had no problem getting seated. I ordered the Lost Footage and it was delicious (and strong!!). It came in a flask inside of a VHS case which was fun. I then got to pour it into my glass. Other members of my group got The Red Wedding, Pity Party, and To Your Health. My spouse and I shared the strip steak and the wedge salad, which we enjoyed. I would like to see some more food options in the future, especially since I'm already pretty limited due to a gluten allergy. However, I am excited to come back.

The cheese fondue was served cold, and although the bowl was taken back to be reheated, the food meant for dipping was cold. A manager personally brought it out but didn't acknowledge the issue or offer an apology. To make matters worse, when our food finally arrived, one of the pasta dishes contained a large piece of plastic. This was completely unacceptable and raised serious concerns about food quality and attention to detail. We were a party of eight celebrating a close friend's birthday, and this was far from the experience we expected from a high-end restaurant. Since gratuity was automatically added due to the size of our party, it felt like the level of service no longer mattered. We chose not to make a scene because we didn't want to ruin our friend's special night, but overall, the experience was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.
