    Great place for a casual business lunch, good menu for a variety of tastes (would be nice if vegetarian options were expanded), nice atmosphere for a conversation and convenient parking.

    We dined here before attending Wild game. Heidi was a great server. Restaurant not too crowded at this time. Chicken pear salad, salmon salad, Blue cheese burger and fettuccini with shrimp were all delicious! Plenty of time to enjoy, and plenty of adult beverage selections to choose from.

    We had an excellent business dinner. There were no events down town so it was not overly busy and worked out extremely well.

    Never had a bad meal at the Downtowner. The food is always excellent, whether you order one of their steaks, pasta, pizza, or anything else, and the prices are very reasonable. The wait staff are kind, efficient, and very helpful. It's a great place to go before a hockey game at the Xcel, or just for a good meal.

    Lovely experience here tonight for my birthday dinner. The food was delicious, our server was attentive and very personable, and the manager was very welcoming. It was also nice to be in a restaurant where it wasn’t overly loud. We enjoyed the ambiance!
