Gave this place another shot because I was craving their egg mapo tofu and it delivered! Monday night it was even pretty packed, but we had very quick service and food came out rather quickly as well. 5/5 Mapo Tofu - super spicy with a hefty serving of rice. The textures of the pork and seafood are super flavorful. 5/5 Fatty Tuna bowl - this rice bowl with salmon roe is about six hand rolls worth is super buttery and creamy goodness. $8 Japchae was made just as a Korean person would make it a little steep for a small portion, but flavors were unbalanced. It was not too salty and noodles were not mushy. Other plates at the tables enjoyed was the gouchugang rigatoni, the pork jowl and suggested side salad. Finishing off with the miso sesame caramel tart - this time coming with more strawberries to balance out the richness of the actual tart. A great end to the meal highly recommend! read more

Tucked away in Northeast Mpls, parking was actually not too bad! They have a free lot and there are plenty of street parking in the surrounding neighborhood as well. The food was just alright - this was certainly more fine dining than I'm used to. It would be good to come in a bigger group to try more things - portions are relatively small, but nicely plated. The dumplings all tasted similar and were a bit too salty - would recommend eating without the sauce! The entrée we got were were mostly grilled meats. I enjoyed the pork belly the most - I think the sesame oil gives it a different flavor compared to the chicken bulgogi and beef kalbi, which felt a little flavorless. The samjang sauce did help spice things up a little bit, but it was very, very mild. We also got the honey butter toast, which was good - the hazelnut and honey balanced each other out nicely, but the bread was quite hard and tough to chew. Something my parents wished to add was that they wanted the foods were served a bit warmer, which I do agree. It was kind of awkward to eat the long beans and honey butter toast that were room temperature. The toast I have had at other restaurants and they were nice and warm, the butter would glide easy. read more

What a fun & delicious experience! We came for a friend's birthday dinner and were so incredibly impressed; we want to come back and try much more of the menu! The restaurant itself is so pretty! Its low, red-toned lighting + the darker colored walls gave it a more intimate vibe, and we liked that. We started with some drinks, all of the cocktails were so delicious, but the Sacred City cocktail took the cake for us. It was light and fruit forward but still so flavorful. We also started with the fatty tuna and the cream cheese wontons. I was absolutely obsessed with the pickled plum sauce that accompanied the wontons. For dinner, we planned to split a bunch of things and our server's recommendation was spot on; there were 4 of us and they recommended that we split 3 things from the noodles & plates + charcoal bbq section of the menu. We ordered the bulgogi beef, the mapo tofu, and the crab ramyeon. All 3 of these dishes were spectacular and they all balanced each other out well. The beef was sliced thin and cooked perfectly, we paired it with the banchan and that was definitely the move. The crab ramyeon was my personal favorite; ideal ratio of noodles to sauce and the crab was so so good. All of the servers were knowledgeable, speedy, and very kind. They asked the right questions of us and helped us pick items on the menu that met our tastes best. We will be back! read more

Made it in before the dinner menu started, so the meal centered around a couple of dumpling orders and they didn't disappoint. The atmosphere is stylish without feeling pretentious, the music fits the space, and the service was outstanding. The server knew the menu inside and out and made choosing easy. The Shrimp & Fennel dumplings were light and fresh with a subtle fennel flavor, while the Chicken & Green Chili dumplings brought a little Serrano heat without overpowering the chicken. As simple as it seems, the side of kimchi was a standout. Bright, crisp, flavorful, and just enough heat to keep reaching for another bite. Left impressed. Looking forward to coming back for another round of dumplings and diving into the full dinner menu. read more

Decided to try Minari for my birthday this year. All in all, we were very impressed. The service is top-notch, as is the ambiance (both some of the best in the Twin Cities). The food is mostly good, although there is something missing still that could make this restaurant truly one of the best in the state. Still, it's a great night out, especially if you like Korean and/or Chinese food. Here's a rundown: The food: First and foremost, Minari has special menus to meet many dietary restrictions. Not just symbols on one menu, but different menus depending on your restrictions. That's amazing. We ordered off of the Dairy Free (DF) menu, which does include a lot of their dishes from the regular menu. The Szechuan Ribs were my favorite, they are exquisite. The KFC wings are good too, although they could have used a bit more sauce (I am used to Korean-style wings being pretty saucy). The pork jowl was good but did not have quite enough gojuchang flavor. The accompaniments that came with it were awesome, especially the sauces. The bonchon need some work; I would love to see more traditional bonchon, ours had a couple "fusion" type dishes that were a little too contemporary for us. The drinks: The Minari Old Fashioned was AWESOME, a great drink (and the rice cracker was great too). Highly recommend this. The service was some of the best in the metro. From entering (where the host stand will make sure you have appropriate menu(s)), to the server, who was perfectly attentive and very knowledgeable about every dish, including dietary issues, to the complimentary tea and birthday sparkling wine, I can't say enough about the service here. The only weird thing is the dim sum, I would actually just put the dim sum dishes on the menu and bring them out on demand. The ambiance was really nice, and the bathrooms were clean. The final thing I would say is that I think that Minari could benefit from making their Korean dishes a little bit more traditional...as I mentioned earlier, small touches like making the wings a bit "saucier," more gojuchang flavor on the dishes that feature it, and more traditional bonchon would all be great. Still, this is a phenomenal place to dine/drink in NE Minneapolis, and if you like Korean and Chinese food, you will not be disappointed! read more

Food: The boneless chicken bites were a hit. It looks/tastes like an in-house chicken ground tempura, served with a sweet & sour sauce. Sooo good! We also split a happy hour burger and each had a hand roll - they serve it fancy with a plastic sheet above the seaweed to avoid sogginess (didn't catch a pic of this but presentation was very nice!) The showstopper was the local vanilla ice cream with sesame oil (a nice twist on the olive oil on ice cream trend) and Maldon sea salt flakes. Truly such a simple yet exquisite dessert. Service: we sat at the bar and service was friendly and attentive. Our bartender/servers let us know about the happy hour and suggested a great grapefruit NA drink. Ambiance: it's a quaint and modern looking bar. Overall it's approachable but probably not great for a large group without a reservation or private party. read more

Had a reservation and waited 35+ minutes to sit and then they tried to seat us in the pikok lounge when the reservation was for minari. When I asked to be seated in minari the hostess asked "why we cared so much" and seemed very annoyed with us. (Again we made sure our reservations were specifically for Minari, and the lounge was extremely loud which we did not want) Very off putting start to the night and I think this made it hard to really enjoy ourselves for the duration of our time there. I think first impressions really make or break the experience and unfortunately this was not a good one. Our server was great and very helpful though which was a good change! Would get the KFC wings again those were super flavorful and crispy but probably would try all new dishes next time. The dishes were all decent but I expected them to have more flavor packed in them. Would love to go back to try the dim sum but am not sure how soon I'd go back after having such a bad start :( read more

The vibe in Minari is very cool, my friend and I stopped by after we could not get into another nearby restaurant. Minari was busy but had space and we were seated within 10 minutes. Now I've been to Minari a second time and it was just as amazing as I remember it the first time. Everything here is good! But the wings are to tie for. Best wings in the twin cities! read more

I was pretty disappointed with the food, but the ambience and service is quite good. We had a very friendly server but the drink service was just a tad slow as I could see the bar directly and saw lots of drinks sitting for quite a while. The kpop drink was good, easy to drink and sweet. The only food item I really enjoyed was the jjajang toast. The bread was crispy and the sauce was delicious. I also enjoyed the beef tartare, however it was not like beef tartare at all. Instead, it resembled yukhoe which I'm sure it was made to pay homage to. I just figure it'd make more sense to name it yukhoe if that's what it's going to taste like since beef tartare isn't super saucy beef. The kfc wings were very heavily breaded and very light on the sauce. I expect Korean fried chicken to be covered in sauce but that was not the case. The dumplings were alright but it makes more sense to go to an actual dim sum restaurant as the squid ink wrapping didn't make much of an impact on the flavor of the dish. I got the scallop hand roll, not pictured, and it was tasty but I was a bit off put with the plastic between the main ingredients and the nori. The only reason to do that is to persevere freshness and keep the nori from getting soggy when the roll has been premade. If you're not able to make a fresh hand roll, I'd say just don't have them on your menu. Our dumplings tasted like they'd been out for a bit while the table next to us got visibly steaming dumplings. The dessert was also disappointing. The butter mochi was cold and grainy. Butter mochi is best served warm so I was very disappointed with the texture and quality of it. The cherry yuzu jam on top was delicious though, I'd buy a jar of that. read more

Minari is such a vibe! The elegance and deep sultry red in the Pikok Lounge felt high end ans cozy. From the real scented candles to the gold peacock and oversized black planter with Pothos plants to the red velvet long booth seating everything felt right. We shared the Sweet Soy Korean Chicken Wings, Bluefish Tuna, Grilled Rice Cakes, and kimchi as a complementary accoutrement. For my drink, I had Chosun, which was very refreshing and citrus. The wait staff at the bar was very helpful and attentive. Definitely kept on it throughout the evening. Plus, I loved the individual bathrooms. It is really nice touch. read more

Wow!! I ended up here after on a whim after a near by restaurant we had reservations at was unexpectedly closed. Since Minari is a popular spot, I was surprised to be seated immediately as a walk in group -- Our spontaneous night was made even better by the food, atmosphere, and service here! If you are visiting with a group open to sharing, I would recommend ordering a variety of options as a table and taking advantage of their dim sum menu. We started the night with a PAZU N/A Cocktail, which was light warm and packed a punch of flavor. The KFC Wings easily hit the #1 wing spot after the first bite and we considered getting another order. The flank steak was perfectly cooked, but I would have enjoyed trying more dim sum, pasta, or apps since everything was uniquely delicious! Overall an amazing experience!! I expect to be back and will be on my list of spots to show off to visitors! read more

We had a great experience at Minari. We went with my dad for an early dinner. It was still daytime so lighting was good. Our server was wonderful. Very willing to explain everything and make recommendations. The food and drinks were wonderful. It is handicapped accessible. My dad uses a walker and we had no problem getting in or out, though it wasn't very crowded when we were there. read more

Wow! I am stunned to find such amazing Korean food in the Twin Cities. Every bite I tried at Minari was so packed with flavor, texture, and thought. The Szechuan ribs- whoa! Crunchy and spicy and delicious. The BBQ bulgogi with lettuce wraps and spicy sauces was amazing. Make sure to try one of the unique cocktails as well. For our anniversary dinner, we were treated to bubbles and a scoop of yuzu tea infused sorbet. Honestly, run here! read more

Got happy hour with a girl friend on Thursday night. We didn't have a reservation but we walked in at 4:45pm and didn't wait. We grabbed two seats at the bar and the bartenders came over quick! We ordered 4 drinks total, the high ball #3 (which was my fave!), the bonzi buddy, KPop, and the more you know. For food we ordered the pork ribs, shrimp toast sandwich, the grilled rice cakes and a caviar nugget. The shrimp toast was so good! It's much bigger than we were expecting but in the best way possible! The toast was so crispy but the shrimp inside was still very juicy! The caviar nugget was my next favorite. It was my first time having caviar and I felt super fancy :) the ribs were big and meaty! The sauce on them was delicious. I believe it was a gochujung based sauce. The space was very cute! Minari is attached but you couldn't hear any noise from in there. The playlist they had on hit! Great vibes all around. read more

This meal was utterly ridiculous at minari ..... in all the best ways dined with my favorite company, savored every sip of our cocktails (literally -- so good), and tried my first-ever squid ink anything. the pastas? superb. I didn't leave a single bite behind -- partly because yes, it's a little pricey... but mostly because it was that good. the ambiance, the service, the flavors... worth every penny. if Minari isn't on your 2025 bucket list yet, add it. you'll understand the second you sit down. our sips & eats in order: crab ramyeon -- my order. my personal favorite on the table. SO good. sacred city on the left -- malt gin & surprisingly delicious and light. kumiho on the right -- a bananaish delicious espresso martini. squid ink dumplings -- my first bite of squid ink and sadly won't be the last, so good. gochujang vodka rigatoni -- also delicious, with a teeny kick. dan dan mafaldini - creamy, delicious and a little heavier than the two above. read more

This has quickly become one of my go to spots in the city. First, the restaurant sets a nice and sophisticated vibe, which makes it perfect for many different occasions and celebrations. I've been here twice, and service was impeccable both times. The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and are great at making suggestions. Now, the food is just great! There's not much else to say. I tried multiple dishes here, and I have no complaints about anything I tried. This is Asian fusion at the next level; every dish was super flavorful with unique character. This place is definitely a special gem. I love it! read more

I've now visited Minari three times in the last two months and can confidently comment on their consistency and service. The first two occasions were for dinner in the more formal dining area while the last was for drinks in the Pikok Lounge. Both spots are lively with smooth decor, dim lighting and a cozy but elegant feel. The dishes are excellent to share, with my favorite being their large pasta portions and a few of their small bites. They also have an excellent cocktail selection. The service is attentive and pleasant and there is a reason I've been back with such frequency. Small plates: - Fatty tuna: did not expect to like and loved, raw tuna is piled high on rice with little nori sheets as vehicles for consumption, flavorful and light. - Cream cheese wontons: first time around they changed by life, second time around I wondered why I loved them so much. A light dough stuffed with hot cream cheese and doused with a bed of pecorino. The plum sauce is special, but inconsistent. - Stuffed corn cakes: wow, two thick slabs of fried corn cakes stuffed with two cheeses and scallions, delectable and flavorful! - KFC wings: HUGE wings with an excellent crisp but lack of flavor, you can find better wings elsewhere (see Starling!) - Squid ink dumplings: need to eat them hot but quite good, pork and squid and shrimp are encased in a black noodle shell with a tasty sauce pooled at the bottom. - ?? Green beans: I am so sad if they have already removed these from the menu, amazing cream based sauce and nut topping I think? Pastas: - Crab Ramyeon: longer noodles in a chili butter and prawn bisque sauce - lacked crab meat but had great flavor. - Buldak Gnocci: my favorite dish, hot little gnocchi with a perfect crust are coated in a dreamy sauce with tons of shredded chicken and mozzarella cheese, huge portion and easily shared between three people. Meat: - Pork Belly: sliced off the bone with the remaining meat attached to a long bone, this was a solid bite. Would probably not order again as I think the other dishes offer more variety. Overall, there are many special small plates and the pasta portions are plentiful enough to share. You can try a bit of everything in an environment that welcomes you to stay for a cocktail or two. The Pikok lounge is just the bar side of the restaurant with its own separate menu and drinks. Similar vibes with cheaper more accessible plates. read more

Went to Minari in Minneapolis for dinner last night and had such a great time. When we walked in, I was surprised by how big and how absolutely beautiful the space was. The deep burgundy walls made it feel so warm and cozy, especially on a cold fall day. The large windows were gorgeous, and I loved being able to see into the kitchen. We were there for about two and a half hours and really enjoyed the entire dining experience. For drinks, we started with a round of cocktails. I had the Mekarushi, which was earthy and exactly what I was in the mood for. Then we split a bottle of wine and just took our time with dinner. We tried the squid ink dumplings and a vegetable dish from the dim sum cart to start, and both were really good. From the menu, we started with the Spicy Salmon Tartare. The spice was perfect, and the rice crackers gave it a great crunch. I was surprised by how many vegetables were in the dish. It wasn't bad, just different from what I expected. For mains, we shared the Crab Ramyeon and the Gwangyang Style Bulgogi, and both were incredible. The Bulgogi came with an array or sauces, but honestly it was so perfectly marinated that none of them were necessary. The portions were just enough to feel full but not stuffed. We skipped dessert this time but are already planning to go back. My husband would want me to mention that he loved the playlist, which fit the vibe perfectly: good songs, loud enough to notice but never distracting from the conversation. read more

Stopped in for the opening of the new Pikok Lounge that is attached to Minari. They have an options from Minari and also have a new menu for the space. They have a great happy hour with $10 burgers, $14 wings, and $2 off cocktails. For cocktails, we tried cocktails from their new menu and really enjoyed all of them. Of the cocktails, the everflowing cocktail was my favorite. A very unique riff on a Negroni with buckwheat shochu. For the food, we got the wings, burger, and kimichi cheese dumplings, which were all great. Burger was a little messy but one of the best happy hour burgers I've had! Wings were crispy and flavorful! The service was also great. They added some nice touches with complementary kimchi and mint truffles! Look forward to making it back! read more

Listen, I am Korean. I was very impressed by the food at Minari -- their bbq meat was perfectly flavored, and their banchan reminded me of the dishes my grandma made. And their service was amazing -- the restaurant practices Korean concept of "Jeong" -- its warmth, generosity, and kindness to even strangers like me. When I told them we are here to celebrate a birthday, the restaurant made us feel special. Their welcome drinks and even birthday candle with beautiful desserts are heart warming. And of course the ambiance and music were nice too, Minari, please come to New England. I was so sweetly surprised to find you. read more

Great place for photos. Service wasn't too bad, had an Asian lady who looked like she was in a hurry. Terrible place for food. You can tell the noodles and outside of dim sum was handmade. The noodles felt clumpy, the dim sum wrap was hard in some areas. My S/O ordered the buldak gnocchi, it's nothing like buldak (not spicy, the rigatoni was spicier). As for the dessert menu, it was my golden birthday and I could only pick ice cream as a dessert, so stingy. Will never go here again, food is definitely not authentic. read more

Ambiance was on point. Our server was giving an attitude to us for us correcting her on pronouncing items very wrong we kept saying did you mean to say "gochujang" or "nori seaweed" or japchae noodles? She asked if I had any food allergies and I said no I want my white rice plain so when she brings it with jalapeño seeds and nori seaweed on it, I said I wanted my rice plain and she said I asked you if you have allergies I said I don't have allergies. I don't want it on them cause I don't like them. You didn't listen. Needless to say prices are way too high and we left hungry. read more

I went to minari back in August and I forgot to post my review, better late than never! Great ambiance, it was perfect to sit outside and stellar service from our waiter with the great Flo, his hair def had one up on Uncle Jesse... Pretty much everything Uncle Jesse recommended we tried, and we were not disappointed! Bluefin Gimbap - this is a dish I will be back for. Tuna was so fresh and there was a hint of sesame oil which I love. Crispy Rice Panzanella - what a mouth full of flavor! This was by far a table fave. Instead of crusty bread they used crispy rice. The tomatoes were beautiful. I may ask for it lightly dressed next time. Burrata - another table fave! The bread that accompanied it was a nice compliment. The stone fruit was not over powering. KFC Wings - Another table fave. They were so crispy. It's like they double fry it or something! Dan Dan Malfadini - we were excited for this one. Thought it was a little tahini heavy. I brought leftovers home and added a little chicken broth and more bok choy and it was delish. Gnocchi - another table fave. They only problem...we were so full! There was a hefty amount of cheese and shredded chicken in it. Not too spicy. Rice Cakes - By far one of the top three dishes of the nights. See my pic for what it looks like. The rice cakes are cylinder in shape and kind of chewy. All the flavors really marry well together. The shishito peppers are whole and not spicy. Very easy to pick out. Pork Jowl - No one at our table had this before so we gave it a go. The flavor was good, however we all struggled a bit with the texture. It was presented nicely and our Uncle Jesse waiter said it was a popular dish! Mapo Tofu - alright, the only downer of the night. I think it was the calamari that made it taste off, my friend thinks it was the shrimp. Overall, I'd pass on this dish unless your a diehard mapo tofu fan, Uncle Jesse described the tofu as slippery which was pretty accurate. The night was made because our server gave such thorough reviews and was so enthusiastic about the restaurant. It really does make a difference. Can't wait to go back when the menu changes next. read more

This has been on our list forever. But with a baby hard for us to get out to enjoy a good meal. Well what better time then our anniversary dinner. Started off with the uni toast 10/10- egg salad was creamy, buttery and paired perfectly with caviar best dish we had that night. Crab Ramyeon was 4/5 wish it had more heat. squid dumpling 3.5/5 gold portion size but a little salty. When restaurants ask if celebrating a special occasion and then tease dessert like a treat on the house- but it wasn't. Just FYI unsure when making a resy why they ask if you are celebrating anything special and don't provide a special service- why ask? Would recommend checking out read more

We got the long beans (4.5/5), Dan Dan Mafaldini (4/5), and Mapo Tofu (4/5) with rice. We liked the long beans the most and would definitely get them again! The Dan Dan Mafaldini was good and had a nice peanut butter sauce; the noodles were a lot longer than what we were expecting and like pasta noodles. The Mapo Tofu was also good and had a bit of a kick to it, but the spice complimented the flavors and did not overpower them. Other members of our group tried different items, and the consensus was everything was good, but the appetizers were the best part. The service was great (4.5/5)! Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu, and someone would explain the dish when they brought it out for the entrees. The ambiance is also very good (4.5/5); the interior of the restaurant is well decorated and has a nice atmosphere! read more

We had so much fun here! My parents, me, and my boyfriend were in town for a wedding and my parents wanted to take us out to eat. I was stressing trying to find a reasonably priced but still nice restaurant that everyone would enjoy. And this was PERFECT. The fusion concepts were so creative and everything was fun and felt like an exploration. Since we went for a sunday brunch (this was in aug 2025), they told us they'd JUST launched a new program where they were bringing dim sum dishes around in carts. Loved it. So fun. We ordered a good couple dishes seeing them carted to us. The ribs were really good and I also liked my eggs and rice a bunch. read more

Most of what we had here was incredible! Favorites were the jelly noodles and pork belly. Making a reservation is easy if you book a week or more in advance (if it's a weekend). There is a parking lot across the street. Though if it's winter, be careful it's super icy. The inside of the restaurant is GORGEOUS. You enter through the bar that is gorgeous as well. Very dark and moody. A vibe for sure. The service is great! Though our server was clearly stressed. We were worried the dim sum cart wouldn't make an appearance, but it did! And the woman pushing it was very helpful and explained what everything was. I ordered the sunchang cocktail. It was tasty but not super impressive. The flavors were a little too subtle and the mezcal was a little overpowering. We also ordered the long beans, the pearl meatballs, and buldak gnocchi. The gnocchi had pretty good flavors, but it had way too much cheese. I'd for sure order the beans and meatballs again! read more

The food was absolutely fantastic! The sides that came with the galbi were crafted so perfectly! The squid ink dumplings were phenomenal, would absolutely order them again. The Dan Dan noodles were really peanut butter based and creamy that seemed to overtake the other flavor profile. The noodles were so long, so also no slurp action. The mezcal cocktail was 15/10, I really really enjoyed that! The service was ok, we were early for our reservation and waited for a long while and watched other people continue to be sat for their meal in the dining room. Our food service was quick, but the waiter seemed to take a while to come around (we were hangry so took that into account too). The vibe was very cute and elegant! Really enjoyed our time here! read more

I've heard a lot of buzz about this new spot, and booked a reservation for my partner's birthday brunch to try it out!! Street parking available in the vicinity of the restaurant. A beautiful, warm interior welcomes you as you walk into this modern Asian spot. We were seated right away in a cozy booth that allowed us to look out into the hustle and bustle of dim sum carts and fellow diners! The service was lovely as you choose between delectable snacks and entrees from the menu, as well as cold and warm options from the dim sum carts. If I had a suggestion: wait until the carts come by to order your entrees because you might get filled up with dim sum cart delicacies! The food was perfection! We tried the squid ink dumplings, hashbrown, wontons, and Spam sandwiches. My favorite was the Spam sandwich, which was ooey gooey and divine! Perfectly cooked egg with salty spam atop a pillow of a bun! I can't wait to come back for dinner and more brunch dim sum! read more

Sorry have to update after a not so great night. We have visited multiple times and had excellent service and food. However, we were not so lucky in this visit. The Dan Dan noodles were not as good as normal. When the server brought us our oysters on the half shell, I asked what the condiments were and she actually told me that the one cup was Parmesan, but it was Horseradish. How in the world could an employee make such a mistake! Our server was extremely less than attentive. We barely ever saw her. Just not a good experience for a $400 bill read more

Came to Minneapolis for a short weekend and discovered this gem since it was close to downtown. We got the bbq chicken plate, the gochujang vodka pasta, and some dumplings. The dumplings were huge and a great starter. The vodka pasta was sweet and spicy and had the right amount of chewiness. The chicken was a standout and I recommend that everyone try something off the bbq menu. The charcoal grill taste on the chicken was perfect and refreshing. I was impressed by the homemade ssamjang! It's a cute, moody spot with lovely windows. If you are looking for a nice, little pricey dinner, check this place out! read more

INCREDIBLE!!! My new favorite restaurant in Minneapolis by far. We had the Caesar salad, dumplings, steak, pasta, rice balls and oysters. Everything was incredibly well flavored, steak was cooked perfectly, and all the adornments and plating was extremely well thought out. Love the atmosphere of the restaurant and that it feels like you are in an alternate universe in Hong Kong or something with the way they come around and offer dim sum dishes!! Fantastic service and our waitress always made sure we had everything ok. Highly recommended going here, and you'll fall in love too!! :) read more
