“With my wife being out of town, I was flying solo for dinner. She left me a gift card for Olive Garden that I decided to use.\n\nI went early (5:00 PM) to avoid the usual dinner crowd. I was greeted at the door by three friendly, smiling faces. While at the table, I was given a menu and saw that they still had the soup/salad and breadsticks on their menu. That is what I ordered. The minestrone soup was equally as good as what my wife makes at home. My wife is a fantastic cook, so that is saying quite a bit.\n\nDuring my brief stay, my server was very attentive without being overbearing. She refilled the items that I was low on. I was pleasantly surprised by her attentiveness. \n\nThere are those that will ridicule Olive Garden stating that their Italian food is not real Italian. I had zero complaints about my food and would recommend their wait staff to any one of their competitors.”

Culver’s 7801 Nicollet Ave, Bloomington American • $

“Lost my comment. Try again. On May 19th a group of family members went to the Bloomington Culvers. We were celebrating my grandsons grade school concert. I was unable to go up front to order and my son asked if someone could help me. Jose (spelling) I believe was the night manager. He came back to my table and took my order. He was so gracious and kind. I so appreciated his help. I didn't have the right walker and it would have been difficult without help to go up front. I can't thank him enough. It is so nice to go to a restaurant and know everyone is so friendly and willing to make your experience a good one. Thank you Don and Misty for such a wonderful crew. Now if you only had your fried chicken back on the menu, my favorite. See you soon”

Red Lobster 1951 American Blvd W, Bloomington Seafood • $$

“First visit in years and since restaurant reopened. We all enjoyed our meals. My wife, always very particular on the food she receives, did not have a single complaint - amazing - this would have to be at least a 4-star+ rating from her. \n\nI had promised to order scallops the next time out and there they were! Six bacon wrapped sea scallops, served with a delicious crisp lettuce salad. The salad was dressed with a tasty Italian dressing. I had been craving scallops for many months and was very pleased with Red Lobster's offering! The scallops were lightly seared, cooked through and not translucent, slightly sweet, and no fishy taste - excellent! Each was wrapped with tasty thinly sliced bacon with crisp edges but not over cooked, also. very good. Ordered a side of clam chowder and was told "Manhattan Style" was available. I received New England Style but did not complain because it was thick, creamy, hot and had a good quantity of potato and clam pieces. Best I've had since last trip to Clearwater Florida. I'm not sure the waiter knew the difference between the two kinds of chowders. None-the-less, a satisfying chowder! Almost forgot - great biscuits.\n\nGood, pleasant waiter and service. Red Lobster has re-earned my business! \n\nMac”

“This wasn't simply an excellent meal, it was a phenomenal experience. It feels reductionist to say Michelle was our "server". She was more like a cool dinner party host who has everything under control - spending enough time with us to answer every question, made suggestions, and took care of anything we might have wanted before we knew we wanted it.

We had the tuna lover's sushi platter, and it was really fresh, expertly plated, and the flavor balance on the assorted rolls was on point. If you're not into cilantro, I could see how the Mexican fusion could be problematic on a few of the rolls, but we love cilantro, so it was a real treat.

A bottle of sake' was either a brilliant idea or ill-advised, but we weren't driving, so we think the prior.

Pros: Fresh, bold flavors, hospitality pros

Cons: Price reflects the experience - it's not cheap.”

The "C" button doesn't work sometimes, but keep trying, because this place serves some of the best burritos I've had since I moved out of California. Their regular al pastor burrito is only $13, but the serving size is like two Chipotle burritos but with better-quality ingredients. You will leave with an extremely full stomach. Mucho gusto.”

I worried for the lower price it would be the imitation lobster, but it was real, and the roll was the traditional east coast style and warm as it should be. It was a bit heavy on the dressing for my taste, but it was delicious.”

Culver’s 7801 Nicollet Ave, Bloomington American • $

“Lost my comment. Try again. On May 19th a group of family members went to the Bloomington Culvers. We were celebrating my grandsons grade school concert. I was unable to go up front to order and my son asked if someone could help me. Jose (spelling) I believe was the night manager. He came back to my table and took my order. He was so gracious and kind. I so appreciated his help. I didn't have the right walker and it would have been difficult without help to go up front. I can't thank him enough. It is so nice to go to a restaurant and know everyone is so friendly and willing to make your experience a good one. Thank you Don and Misty for such a wonderful crew. Now if you only had your fried chicken back on the menu, my favorite. See you soon”

“First time I visited since Veterans Day. Your sticker indicated a three percent service fee due to supply chain issues. Why don’t you just raise your prices to cover those issues. If the supply chaiin issues are solved you can offer a price rollback. I’ll find another place that posts their prices instead of service charging.”

“Welcome to the neighborhood Nine Mile!! First timer…loved the beer, pretzels, popcorn. Very knowledgeable staff. Patio was being constructed when we were there, looks awesome. One suggestion, please consider changing the uncomfortable chairs (tables of two) by the windows looking over the patio. Fortunately, we were able to find bar chairs to move to where we met other customers who moved for the same reason. We’ll be back to enjoy the patio! Cheers!”

“The nachos were ok... chicken that I paid extra for had no taste what so ever. It could have used some seasoning. The olives were a good touch. I love black olives. The waitress was amazing!!! Two thumbs up to waitress Caitlin. We had a semi-big group, and she was on top of all the orders (food, drinks, and shots) she kept it all organized and didn't look at all flustered. It was pretty loud there so if you like a quiet get to know ya place I'd do somewhere else.”
