“I visited the Bayshore location in Glendale, Wisconsin for lunch. I used the coupon for $5 off & it was absolutely outstanding. I will be back for sure.“

“North Star Tavern absolutely crushed it for our group! We had our reservation double at the very last minute and they not only accommodated us, but were able to get us in earlier too. The host who helped coordinate everything was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating. I really wish I had gotten his name because he made the whole experience so easy. And Riley, our server, despite being a Packer fan 😉, was fantastic. She handled our large group like a pro and gave us excellent service the entire time with a smile on her face. Also…that Brussel sprout salad is an absolute banger. 10/10 all around!“

“The absolute best customer service ANYWHERE! I can tell you … as a past employee there,,,,they do their best to fill a need but do it in a fun way! I was there for 25 years and as a top seller I can say it was the best 25 of my life. Yes, it’s a commissioned store but, they really DO see the customer. DO try to make it fun and get you what you need.“

“Note: I’ve only had drinks, apps and the pizza. Great wine selection. The pizza though was some of the best I’ve had. Service is also wonderful. I’m treated like a regular. Atmosphere wise it’s cozy and easy to carry a conversation.“

The food was sophisticated, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented—each dish felt like a special occasion. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. What stood out even more was seeing the owner so hands-on and present, ensuring everything ran smoothly. You can tell this place is run with passion and care. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Amazing cocktails and food!“

“So good! Excellent customer service and the food is to die for! 100% recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family!“

“Dang. I'm gonna have to come back, like, immediately. Their french onion dip, wet martini, lemon drop cocktail, and egg sandwich (yes, you're reading that correctly) were all so freaking good! They get pretty crowded on a weekday after 6:30, so maybe plan to get there a little early.“

“Great food and great service! Highly recommend!“

“They have great food with tons of vegan options and a wonderful patio! Today I ordered my favorite dish a roti wrap and it accidentally came with chicken instead of the vegan chickpea version. That’s never happened to me there before. They felt really bad about it and made me a new one and comped my meal and that of my friend. That is above and beyond an excellent customer service. I highly recommend.“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“Small spot - have not ate here. However the drinks are some of the best crafter elevated drinks I’ve had beware they’re strong but so addicting and good. The music play list is always jamming and if you go on a Thursday karaoke is like a mini concert . Get your tail over her and fast you won’t regret it“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“Loved it. Great for a date night.“

“Highly recommend Mr. Paul's Supper Club for a fun night with friends or a date night. I would suggest you make a reservation as it was hopping even on a Sunday night. We sat at the full service bar with Dante hooking us up all evening. He is skilled in his craft, made an amazing Old Fashioned and provided excellent drink and food recommendations. Food was absolutely awesome starting with some oysters, main course of lobster gnocchi finishing with apple crisp. Diverse menu with plenty of options. Courtney treated us like kings and took the time to ensure we were well taken care of from start to finish! Great experience, go see em' you won't be disappointed. #MrPaulsSupperClub #edinarestaurants #ThingsToDoInEdina #50thAndFrance“

“Great business that cares about our future, city, and ALL of the people of Minnesota! Viva NightingaleMPLS!“

“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“Great tour by Cade. Beautiful facility and even better whiskey. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Eat here regularly, excellent food and service! If you can request Justice as a server, he is amazing!“

“As far as Speak Easy style goes the entrance would be difficult to find if the door was not wide open.

We got in as a couple but they had turned away a group of 8 due to space available. That said there were several tables with a reserved sign on them. We were there until closing and those tables never had people at them? Seemed peculiar to me that paying customers were turned away.

We enjoyed our stay and had great service with good tasting drinks. While more interesting than typical drinks there was not a drink per se that made the experience memorable. We love it when we have a drink that we recall and then the location.

Overall an ok experience“

“Fantastic place! The coconut broth was the best I ever had in a hot pot place. Every item and sauces are cooked from scratch and it shows! It was my daughter’s birthday and everything was closed, we were so lucky to find this place through Reddit forum. The owner was also very kind and pleasant to us. 5 stars!! And coming back!“

“We stumbled onto this place by picking it at random from google. We sat at the bar and had great recommendations from the servers / mixologists. We had a very enjoyable meal. Highly recommend finishing the meal with a fresh baked cookie 😀“

“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.“

“I’ve been wanting to eat here for a while and today was the day! I had the Breakfast Burrito and my friend had the Poutine. Both were incredible and the best vegan food I’ve had. I’ve been vegan for many years, but even those who don’t typically follow a plant based diet will love this place. Great coffee and friendly employees. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Just found out about these guys and was blown away!! Amazing selection of spirits and cocktail menu is A+. Bartenders know their ish. Will be back soon!“

“Visiting Pittsburgh and this was a great stop with a friendly staff (Kudos Tyrone) and great drinks! Fun time with the putt putt (beat my husband). If in Pittsburgh area this is a must stop!“

“The service is horrible. Waited 20mins before getting someone to take just our drink order and it was the bartender from inside not even our server that noticed we were still sitting there with nothing. Then barley good service once our waiter did finally come. We all could have had another drink but never could since we werent asked till after we were done with food. Food was actually really good and good portions for the price. But the service ruined it. I can't recommend this place and don't know if we will back. Plenty of other places with good food that actually have good service.“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“The food always hits so good! I love eating here and the portions are giant! The drink list is also fantastic. Can't wait until its warmer to enjoy their patio again!“

“We had a table of six last night and everything was delicious! The atmosphere was beautiful and the vibe was laid back but buzzy. 100% recommend!“

“Came here with our kickball team after a game and we all were happy with the last minute pick. Efficient and extremely tasty food, good happy hour deal, nice patio, and very kind staff! Will absolutely be back here! Highly recommend the Birria tostada wrap, elote, churros, and chicken verde salsa tacos!“

“Heidi was so helpful! The food was fresh and well seasoned. Great tasting guacamole and fresh made chips! Clean inviting space! Chipotle never again!“

“Food was very good. My mom got the shrimp lemon and chicken pasta which was FANTASTIC 10/10 on that. My dad got the pot roast stroganoff which was also fantastic another 10/10. I got the prime rib French dip which the sandwich was fantastic, however the au jus was very bland which was disappointing. The tater tots were awesome. Would definitely eat here again!!“

“Savage Tap is such a great add to this community!! They have great beer, a fantastic, huge space, always food options whether it be theirs or food trucks, the vibe is wonderful AND they support their community in outstanding ways!!!“

“Our family went there around June 21,2026. The food was outstanding. The pasta dish I had was out of this world good. The Waiter, a young guy with a beard who moved to Mn from California with his wife, was very efficient and professional. Other than the fact that the establishment was a bit cold (we are from Mississippi), I give it 5 stars all around“

“Great food. Homemade taste. Locally sourced. Affordable. Friendly, efficient service.“

“they were super sweet and the food came super fast! The food was pretty good but a bit expensive! Family friendly and good drink options as well!“

“The food and drinks were great. Highly recommend this place. Tequila selection is amazing.“

“Excellent location with a beautiful patio. The menu is easy to understand and the options for hand rolls are many. I enjoyed 5 different hand rolls and all were delicious. The miso soup was particularly good as well. Highly recommended and a great options for groups and families given the family friendly menu. The non-dairy mochi is also a nice dessert option!“

“New menu coming in March!“

“My fourth visit and great as usual. I haven’t had a single bad bite or drink at BAD. Get the JFC… maybe even twice like we did. All the rolls are smaller but fantastic. Think curated quality over quantity here. Service from Sam and others were on point.“

“Absolutely fantastic speakeasy style pub, it really feels like it has old bones. The music was fantastic and its a very intimate and we look forward to heading back when we visit next year. The food upstairs and Lucky's was pretty good as well.“
