“Went for anniversary. Great experience. Food was amazing.

Lobster bisque with tarragon oil had large chunks of lobster and was best bisque i have had in a long time. Shrimp ceviche was meaty and flavorful

Entrees if swordfish and halibut were amazing. Cognac crean sauce with swordfiah really stood out

Desert was a gluten free almond cake with peach and orange blossom icecream. Bakery worthy.

Will definitely be returning. It was a memorable anniversary dinner

Dietary restrictions: Gluten frew almond cake waa great“

“Fresh seafood great Cajun seasoning great service! Lots of choices for everyone in the family!“

“We stopped here on December 24th looking for fresh lutefisk and were pleased to find we could buy a 5lb filet. The lutefisk was amazing I was told and in the future we will be sure to call ahead and place the order. The manager was running back and forth with several options before we decided to just buy the 5lb filet. I can say I was amazed, they cooked it in the oven and when I returned that evening I could hardly smell anything other than the usual air fresheners we have in the house.

So thanks again for helping keep a Christmas tradition alive and hope the girls hockey team does great.“

“Everything is good the wings and fried rice is the best the fish is crispy and fresh the fries are just the way I like them they are the best and the price is right it won't break the bank loe love it been going to seafood to go for as long as I been in MN and that's for 30 years they only gets better“

“If you want a taste of Maine lobster, this is your place. The lobster rolls are fantastic and plentiful. You taste everything, the juicy lobster, the butter, the lemon pepper seasoning, the perfectly toasted bun, and a nice slice of fresh lemon, with just a touch of mayo. PERFECT! The service was fantastic and friendly. Don't think of the price, this is a food experience you must enjoy.“

“Our waiter Eric was amazing dealing with such a big crowd for our dad’s birthday.“

“We stumbled upon "Barwaqo" as it's now called when we were headed to the Electric Fetus for a book signing event; apparently this place changed hands about a month ago (Oct 2023) so previous reviews under the old Cala name are not relevant. We felt very welcomed by the owner and staff, and had an amazing dinner of Somali chicken and rice, sambusa, and the spinach dish which game with roasted goat and a fava bean soup with glutinous rice cakes. Everything was fresh and delicious and obviously made with a lot of care, and all of the food we got only came to about $45. We were thrilled to have randomly taken a chance on an unknown place and we will go back in the future. When we talked to the owner outside afterwards, I asked one of the staff what "barwaqo" means in Somali and he said "gift" but when I looked it up, it means "prosperity." Take a chance on this place at the corner of Clinton/Franklin instead of the Wendy's across the street!“

“Chad and Bart were great! There was a small mistake with our order and they fixed it right away. Mistakes happen and it wasn't remotely a big deal, but they apologized and their professionalism is the reason we continue to come back to Smack Shack! Thanks again!“

“I like trying new restaurants. I first went to Jays in the summer of 2021.I love the catfish and the chicken wings.Service has always been efficient for me, even when there's a lot of customers. Cashier and cook are both pleasant. I've read some bad reviews, but honestly do not have a bad experience here - and I've returned several times!“

“Great food. truly enjoyed it. We will be going back.“

“Oh my goodness, this place was SO GOOD!!!! My daughter and I are visiting from Texas and wanted sushi. We went to this place based on the reviews on yelp and it was amazing!!! We had wine and saki, and tried 4 different rolls. The employees were so nice and attentive. Very cute place, wonderful atmosphere! Highly recommend!!!!“

“One of few late night options in this neighborhood. Stopped in for a quick carry out order after a show around 11PM, nowhere else on the block was open! Shocking on a Satuday night. Barbacoa (Lamb and goat) tacos were good. They took care of us in relatively short order despite being busy up front in the restaurant and especially in the back gathering space. Friendly wait staff.“

“I ordered the salad, side of fries and burrata with tomatoes appetizer. Fries were great, though cooled off quickly. Salad was fresh but for such a basic side salad, not at all worth it. The burrata was generous in the cheese serving. Just a small number of tomatoes and enough bread to get through half the cheese. Not necessarily a bad thing to be generous on cheese, but I'd plan to order extra bread (I ordered a side of pita). A very filling dinner.Service was great, as was the atmosphere.I ate here as I was staying here. Great option in that case, but wouldn't visit just for the food.“

“Best waitress ever!!! Plus my drink was free for my birthday!!!“

“Our server was Beth. Her recommendations were on point. My shrimp poboy with bang bang sauce was delicious. My sister had the Cowboy Burger was amazing.“

“We had heard good reviews of Chilango and were excited to try it out, but it totally exceeded our expectations!! The food was incredible, service was TOP NOTCH (Cole…. The best!!!), and ambiance was very demure! Highly recommend, and don’t miss the pistachio tres leches ?“

“This is always a very solid choice for dining out. They always have cool little bands on the weekend and the food is always excellent. Selfishly speaking, it was my 60th bday and no birthday drink or dessert The waiter Josh was very kind but as he got busy, forgot about us and we waited quite a bit to get the tab. I will definitely go back because of the excellent food though!“

“What a wonderful experience we had Sunday night. I would highly recommend the Elevations Wine pour. Well worth the price and a great chance to try some new wines. Bjorn was a great waiter. The entire experience along with the great food made it an excellent evening. Thanks!“

“We really enjoyed the food in this place. first timers here. The service was great and the host was really nice and friendly. food was great. The restaurant was very clean and maintained well.

Vegetarian options: they have many vegetarian options.

Parking: They have plenty of room in front of the restaurant.“

“We recently had dinner for 9 on a Friday night to celebrate my Mom's 80th birthday and our godfather's 90th. We brought along a menu that we had from the 1960's to show staff . . . prices have changed, but not much else except the carpet, which is as it should be . . . quality is quality! As my Mom noted, we had a DINING experience; we were not just quickly and mindlessly served. Because of that, us younger-fold will be back to JAX to enjoy that experience. But for one night, the JAX staff and owners helped our parents and godfather celebrate old times and again enjoy a "night out on the town" they will not soon forget! For that, we THANK YOU, JAX Cafe!!!“

“The place is cosy and the people were warm and friendly . The naans were soft and crispy at the same time and so was the paneer tikka masala . The bhindi masala was though a bit sad … it was made of not so fresh ladies finger but over all good food and ambience .“

“I don't know where the last reviewer is going to go. The Dakotas, Iowa? You'd have to go to Chicago where I'm from to get the display they had today. Best for 300 miles around. So he can unload 20 gallons of gas to get his fish and containers? All the hooligans are gone. They were terrible during covid. I guess when you deal in guts you become a gangster. Oh the knives. Woo-oo. Today some lady was asking how long the lobster tails had been frozen. I've accepted tails 1 year old as a hotel butcher.“

“My husband and I come here every Valentines Day. We love the seafood, the prices, the beer. I can't get over the fish soup which, with bread, makes a very satisfying winter night meal.“

“We have never eaten at a restaurant like Legendary Spice. It was an interesting experience. Our waiter was very helpful directing us through the process. There is seriously so much food. The steamed dumplings and sesame balls were absolutely amazing. I ordered the Mushroom hot pot & my boyfriend ordered the spicy beef pot. His was definitely HOT, so not my thing, but he enjoyed it. You can make nearly unlimited choices in Chinese veggies & meats.“

“Tina was nothing short of amazing. We had a party of 10, and there were two birthdays. She was extremely attentive and made everything more fun with her outgoing personality and friendly service. The food was very good, my lobster was pretty soft and delicious. Overall, all the atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff were outstanding.“

“Food is always top notch here, and I really enjoyed the food yet again a few weeks ago.. Over my life red lobster has become a favorite for my family filled with years of happy memories. Birthday's, special family gatherings and anniversarys have been celebrated at Red Lobster. Thing's feel a little warn and old but honestly the service was stellar and the food excellent.“

“Nicole, James and your waitress with the last name Dixon were outstanding! The food was amazing and so were the drinks! The staff was very friendly! All I wanted for my birthday was bubba gumps and the one by us closed so it was worth driving from chicago to go eat there.“

“Typical little poke bowl joint. I got the rainbow bowl.

Full of familiar flavors one would get from a sushi bowl.

Service was good as it was an order, pay, get your food, eat, and get out kind of place.“

“Great service and the food is excellent as always! My granddaughter loved the egg rolls.“

“nice here and kindness staff“

“Good food and staff. Got the Sunday brunch. Was not expecting the bill to be as high as it was though. Estimates said 20-30 per person which would be probably accurate if not doing the buffet. The buffet was roughly 32 dollars per person, plus coffee was 4 dollars an order(had two orders) and we ordered two $4 Mimosas. Add in a tip and tax and our bill was over $160 for four adults. Honestly quite a bit for a brunch buffet. Had prime rib and various other types of meats so maybe that's why they have to have it at that price point.“

“So delicious, and a friendly setting. We so appreciate this yummy, locally owned spot, and it's support of the pop up art gallery on the corner too.“

“This place is truly a gem!! I come here for lunch everytime im scheduled at this location. They have a great lunch special sushi bowl and miso soup that comes to $13. The curry bowl will warm ur soul, but the staff is what really is the best! ?“

“This is my favorite restaurant. Get the pupusas with consomme as a recommendation but I get something different every time and I love it all. my wife enjoys the flautas the most.“

“Great vibe, good food and great staff“

“We celebrated our wedding anniversary while visiting MN from San Diego and took our local cousins that had never gone to Ruth Chris for dinner. The service and the dinner was exceptional. My cousins will definitely be going back. They raved on everything from drinks, appetizers, main courses to your delicious desserts. Jonathan was attentive and knowledgeable and explained to our newbies. Thank you for making it a memorable night“
