We had never been there before, never had contact with him before and were looking forward to finding someone experienced in chairs like ours. We were in the area so we stopped in.

Lonnie displayed so much pain and anger, it was shocking and then heartbreaking. Lonnie has some significant troubles.

Unfortunately, some of the pieces had broken away and were lost, others were loose and the finish on the table had yellowed significantly. Nicole was able to bring this piece of family history back to life! She replaced the lost pieces, repaired cracks and refinished the surface to perfection. We could not be more pleased with the end result. She provided great communication along the way and delivers a great product at an affordable price. We are absolutely thrilled with the restored card table.

I recently picked up my restored chair and it's absolutely beautiful. This family heirloom chair…read morehad been sitting in disarray for many years. It was falling apart and needed some major TLC. Communication with Nicole was great through a phone call or email discussion. I had originally wanted the wood finish to be very blonde but upon discovery there were some red undertones that presented a challenge. Nicole gave me some different options of finishes. The chair turned out very solid and looks gorgeous in my office. I'd highly recommend Nicole as she is great at her craft.

You can definitely score good deals here if you show up on the right day…read more Yesterday, I snagged a well made black, long, wool Kenneth Cole jacket for $47. This is the exact type of jacket that Macy's or Nordstrom's would be selling right now for $100+. Back when they first opened this temporary (?) outlet store I also nabbed a handful of Calvin Klein work/cocktail dresses for the $9 range. Some needed slight alterations, but for $9 you can justify the extra cost. The dress selection has since vanished, but this is still the place to find a handbag, wallet, gloves, leather jackets and a pretty big selection of men's and women's wool coats from Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, Guess and other designers. It's hit or miss and come prepared to dig, but you may find some steals.

Um...WHOA?! I've…read moreheard about this store from friends before, but thought it was just a fancy menswear store. Well boy, was I wrong. I stopped in a few days before Christmas, and I actually had a few things yet I wanted to get my grandpa, so this worked out great. At the entrance - and throughout the store - I found free hot coffee, tea, refreshments, cookies, and treats. Maybe it's just a holiday thing but I loved the hospitality. The space is HUGE - so much more than clothes! I had no idea. They have: - books and coffee table books - a whole room dedicated to perfume/cologne and scents - a whole area for cocktail-related gifts - home decor, tableware, and interior decor items - kitschy smaller giftables that were organized by theme (work/office, hosting, etc.) - menswear and womenswear - jewelry - candles - and so much more! I genuinely believe you can walk in here and be sure to find something for anyone on your gifting list. The service was incredible: lots of welcomes and greetings, and staff there to help you if you need it. Oh, they even have a room you can reserve while shopping?! FANCY!

I am part of a large, semi-formal wedding in Atlanta. The function is laden with "pomp and…read morecircumstance" that might give me hives. However, a close friend is diving in for his third, and I applaud his happiness. I won't wear a tuxedo, but I needed to have a suit made that would make the bride and the 400 attendees comfortable. The bride already told me not to don a fedora or pink sneakers, although I wanted to. Todd Fliginger at Martin Patrick took me under his wing. Todd is amazingly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. He sent swatches to Milwaukee before we moved to Minneapolis. Tailors were brought in, especially the master tailor Robert, not only to measure, but also to have me try on different designers' pieces to see what would fit well. I am a difficult fit, with a body more like a penguin than a human. That's what a custom tailor in NYC told me. However, I don't nosh on Krill. Todd and Robert took hours to get a correct fit and guaranteed that I would look good. Todd even saved me several hundred dollars off the original quote. ADDENDUM: My suit arrived, and it looked amazing. A few alterations are required to ensure a perfect fit, but that's it. I had a suit made on Savile Row in London that cost more than three times this suit's price, and it did not fit as well. This store should be on every list of Minneapolis's sightseeing highlights. It is akin to a design museum. Everything at Martin Patrick--furniture and furnishings--is for sale, and they're all amazing! Martin Patrick 3 is down-to-earth sophistication, with a NYC or Parisian vibe. Yet, the staff is Midwest empathetic. It is a Minneapolis treasure, as is Todd. I might not be looking forward to this wedding, but at least I know I will look my best.
