This was our first time here - the food was all exceptional and the service generally good. Has a cool kind of nightclub vibe with a DJ (we were there at 6:30 and the volume level of the music was appropriate and am guessing it goes up the later it gets).

Manny's was fantastic as usual. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary last night and at the end of the meal, they brought us a piece of cake the size of a tube TV on the house. Their customer service is unmatched.

Our favorite anniversary spot has been with this melting pot for the part couple years. This particular night they ran out of bread for the cheese course. But they went above and beyond to make that up and make our anniversary special. The manager and our server were both amazing people. 10/10 recommend

Five star service all the way! My family was attending a holiday concert at the nearby Basilica in Minneapolis and reserved a table for 8 and we had not been to the Capital Grill in years - We were delighted by the ambiance and we were seated at a splendid large table. Our server(s) were knowledgeable and professional and attentive. The wine selection was excellent and the food was incredibly delicious.
