    Please do not advertise such experience, worthless, wasted 1 hr of my time and the food was so bad. It costed me $170+ to sit in a 20x15 dark room looking at 2 wall with the same picture for 1hr! The food was not even Buffet level and the drink smelled like old socks. I vote you to be #1 worst entertainment in the twin cities! Trip advisor you really need to shape up too, I now know not to trust you for my next trips, thanks.

    Experience was fun, although a bit confusing on what it was meant to be. Nonetheless the food was decent, drinks were good, and service was affable. One hour felt a bit short, and we were struggling to finish our drinks before leave time. Food was interesting, although a bit odd to have dessert served with something meant to be an appetizer course, and both my partner and I felt like we were suffering from food-related nausea later in the evening. Overall fun, but probably won't do this again next year.

    This is specifically for the Northern Starlight Experience.. the food and the service were great. However, we did not feel that it was worth the price.

    Such a cute concept! The food was really excellent. Small bites that reminded me of a “high tea” vibe but with yummy cocktails instead. Though it’s not in an actual old train car, it is impressive how they create the ambiance of one. My only criticism would be that though there was Christmas music playing, it was very quiet and we could hear every word of conversations next to us. My wife and I said we would do this again though next year if there’s another menu to experience.
    Milwaukee RoadResponded on January 13, 2025
    So happy that you enjoyed the experience, Amanda! We love your description. For next year, we will take your criticism into account. Hope to see you return then.
