My husband and I had an awesome dinner at Ike's. The food, service and ambience were outstanding. You can actually have a conversation and hear each other, there's no loud music, it was great! My husband had the prime rib, it was done perfect. I had the walleye and it was great. Looking forward to dining there again soon.

We have been to the original Parlour in Minneapolis many times so we had high expectations and this new Parlour delivered! It has a lot of the same fun and energetic vibes we were looking for, and of course the Parlour burger! The staff was attentive and helpful. The "Who you Callin' Jerk" cocktail was fantastic! It's a fun cozy spot and we are excited to go back
