We were in the first (11:00] seating for the Thanksgiving dinner. That probably influenced the very prompt service and quiet surroundings. The turkey roulade was some of the best turkey I have ever eaten, the breast meat was moist and nicely flavored by the abundant dressing rolled into it. The beans were crisp and bright green; the sweet potatoes were flavorful, The pumpkin praline cheesecake was incredibly rich and nicely presented. We only wished we had split one piece and taken the other home for later.

Had the pear sandwich for dinner, the queso for the chips was homeade and next level good. My date had the bison tacos, they were delicious. We had the lemon ricotta hot cakes and bison Benedict for breakfast the next morning. The service was excellent, I am going to recommend it to everyone going to Minneapolis and I will definitely go again.
