We enjoyed our time here, love that they have some outdoor seating space. The place is huge so theres usually always openings on weekend for last minute reservations which is great! Definitely worth trying if you haven't been.

This is our second time here and the food and drinks never disappoint! So delicious.Only thing I’d say doesn’t match up is the prices for the atmosphere. for a more casual dining experience the prices are a little high. For two of us, the bill is $100 and I didn’t feel like I had to dress ‘up’ to be here.

My friend and I had brunch here this past weekend. Still thinking about how did they make their sausage patties! They were so good. It was all delicious!

Nice atmosphere at the bar. Not super crowded like the other places nearby, although it did fill up by the time we left for our dinner. The arancini was so good. Nice beer selection too. Good service.

Rarely do I experience racism in Minnesota, but if you want to experience it this is the place to go. The older white lady, let’s call her Karen, said there were no tables available when half the restaurant was empty. We went online and made a reservation for within 30 minutes. Within 10 minutes we got a call that a table was ready.

If I could give it zero stars I would. We went in on July 4th and asked for a table for 5 and the older white lady, let's call her Karen, said there is no reservation. We went online and made a reservation for 30 minutes later. We got a call within 10 minutes saying they have a table ready earlier if we want. I guess you have to be white to eat here.

Just had an exceptionallly good meal here. The Meatballs made a great starter, followed by a delicious salmon entree, and finished off with a super yummy pistachio cheesecake. The others in our party had shrimp linguine, parmesan chicken, and cioppino. All were very pleased with their choice. Service was excellent as well

Not at all impressed with the food. 4 people , different menu items. Average at best. What’s with the surcharge? Place was empty. I now know why….

Wow, I have to say I was really disappointed and unless you have a palate of a 5 year old, you should pass on Red Sauce Rebellion. First, if you are serving pasta, it should come with some sort of bread basket, especially at the price point Read Sauce Rebellion charges. Also, the pasta was so over cooked, it had the constancy of mashed potatoes and not pasta, it was kinda like the pasta that is served out of a can. Finally, if you have the name Red Sauce Rebellion, it better be an out of this world red sauce and not taste like the bargain brand sauce in the jar at the grocery store.

Exceptional breakfast, and it seems like no one knows about it!

My fiancé and I heard great things about RSR. We were even thinking about using the downstairs venue for our rehearsal dinner before our wedding. After tonight, we will not be coming back nor using this as a venue. The service was horrible, which ultimately overshadowed the food.There were 6 of us for dinner at 7pm. We sat down and ordered our first round of drinks right away, began chatting for a while and started wondering where the menus were? It had been 40 min and we hadn’t seen a menu. The server came back around wondering if we wanted another round of drinks, no sir, a menu please. The table was never cleared, our drinks were building up, the appetizer plates were never taken away. We ordered and ate our pastas and entrees but again sat and waited for another 40-50 min without any acknowledgment. He was on his phone and chatting with a buddy in the back of the bar. No one else was eating around us or in the basement for that matter. My fiancé finally stood up and walked to bar wondering if he was going to bring the tab or if he should walk upstairs to close the tab. This was a 3 hour dinner for absolutely no reason. We weren’t even offered coffee/dessert. Overall, would never return.

Had a fabulous dinner tonight here. Our waiter Patrick was amazing. He paid attention, was quick, and our food was also amazing. Highly recommend for a casual date night, or a fancy night out. You will not be disappointed.

Service was great. Food not so much. Very disappointed.Appetizer white bean and sausage soup. Delicious flavor but light on bean and sausage. Mostly broth. Not a good value.Dinner also disappointing.Cavatappi was all pasta and very little peas, medium sausage they grind it so small, and very little sauce. Just a bowl of pasta. Underwhelming
