I absolutely love this restaurant. We have one server that’s our favorite. I gave it a 4 for the service because of our last visit. Our server was not very attentive until the very end. I will from now on ask for a specific person when we go.

We come to this location for Christmas each year and sometimes for Mother's day or Easter. We are delighted to find a restaurant open on Christmas and never take that for granted. We had a party of 7 and ordered 2 meat entrees, a vegetarian entree and a salad, all large. We received excellent service. Food was great, though we notice small changes in the recipes from year to year that we like a little less. Still, it's great food, makes great leftovers and is the best option for a large group outside of cooking at home. We love Buca and hope to continue coming here for years to come!

Hello, Thank you, Troy, for being such a great waitress/server. Food was delicious and everyone had a great time and great entertainment. The atmosphere was great, and noise was not a problem at all. We will be returning back soon. Thank you again! TRIO Starting Point - Minneapolis College
