    Food is always consistent. The booth though was very tight for 6 people. Table was overwhelmed with plates, glasses, coffee cups. The table we had really would have been better for 4. Need round tables for 6. That is my ONLY complaint. Wasn’t happy when hostess sat us there, even with reservations we had made. Thank you

    This was a spur of the moment booking while on vacation in Minneapolis. This place is amazing and so is the food the service the band that was playing and any person we interacted with. Its quirky vibe is quite unique and the fact that it has such a cool story makes it that much more special. Would go back any chance I would get. Hell yeah, Hell’s Kitchen!!!!! ❤️

    Our server, Angel, and his peers are indeed Angels on earth. The attention to detail was incredible and impeccable. While service was slow, we also understood that it is Christmas Eve and they’re doing their best to make everyone feel as special as we did. The ENTIRE front of the house staff and the kitchen team deserve immediate 10% raises. That’s how fantastic they are.

    We felt taken care of, the service was attentive and very friendly. When a mistake was made, the waiter addressed it right away. The atmosphere was vibrant on a downtown Friday night. We'd asked for a booth in a somewhat quieter area and got exactly what we wanted. Our family had a wonderful night out.
