    We celebrated our 25th anniversary at Cafe Lurcat last night and the service was outstanding. They provided Prosecco for us to toast our celebration at the start of our meal and donuts to finish our meal. The food was excellent and our server was the best. Well done cafe Lurcat. We will be back.

    Murrays for Steaks is still the favorite among locals-You're assured you will enjoy a sensational meal as will your guests when no one needs to look at the menu because they have their favorites and have looked forward to meeting at Murrays. And while all the entrees are filling, no one can turn down their signature dessert, the fresh raspberry and chocolate pie. Always exceptional food and the most gracious hosts.

    801 is a must when I visit Minneapolis. The food and service are always top notch. And Patrick did an excellent job navigating a unique situation. Two in our party were very delayed. I ordered for them, and our meals arrived soon after the rest of our party. The service was very efficient without feeling rushed. Another great experience.

    This was a first experience for me and I sat in Char Bar. The waitress was great, she was accommodating and attentive. I throughly enjoyed the drinks. I had the teaches of peach drink and it was so well made and perfectly balanced. I ordered the blue crab beignets and they were absolutely delicious, so light fluffy and full of crab meat. For my entree I ordered the salmon and it was crispy on the outside and so soft and well cooked on the inside. The flavor was just right. I would definitely dine here again. There’s much more on the menu I’d like to try.
