My partner and I do not like spicy food and found many of the menu items to be spicy. The waitress was helpful in letting us know which entrees/items could be modified though. In the end we were satisfied with what we did order. One unfortunate thing that did happen was I took the time to fill out your survey before we left the restaurant in order to receive a $10 coupon, but they didn’t have any way of connecting that coupon to us because we paid with cash. We left the restaurant as “complete unknowns” unless they use my reservation information.

Thursday night dinner before show at the Xcel. For a Thursday night at 6, we were the only ones there. Food and service was good. Due to traffic to St. Paul, we ended up needing ti change from 5:30 to 6. Was able to order quick, and we had no issues to get to show in time.

We were there celebrating our daughter’s birthday and could not have asked for a better experience.!! Our server was amazing. He was very attentive checking on us regularly. We really enjoyed having DeDe, the robot, bring our food out. She even brought a candle lit serving of cheesecake and sang Happy Birthday😊🎂 It doesn’t get much better than that!!
