Great steakhouse in the West End. Prices are low end of typical steakhouse prices but worth it. Flavor wise their chimichurri was phenomenal, better than Porzana's. The ribeye was perfectly prepared and delicious with or without the chimichurri. The asparagus was delicious as well, perfectly prepared and deliciously seasoned. Our server, Jada, was wonderful. Attentive but not overbearing.

My friend and I were able to enjoy a delicious lunch in a beautiful, quiet setting perfect for catching up. Our server was wonderful! We were welcomed, encouraged to take our time and received the very best service. The lobster rolls were yummy and the tea beautiful in its unique container and warming on a cold day. For anyone weary of extremely noisy restaurant, Nicollet Island Inn will become your favorite with its charm and beauty.

Mostly French inspired dishes, which were good portion size and flavorful. The weak link here, is the service which is slow; I think the pacing between when you order and when you receive your item can be improved, especially with drinks. My wife ordered an NA mocktail, which turned out to be unavailable but it took 10 minutes for our waiter to communicate that, then it was showing on the bill (it was removed after I noted the error).
