Had dinner with my three daughters. We had a wonderful time! The food was great! I love when the lights are dimmed, which didn't occur with this visit. Overall the experience was very lovely! I highly recommend!
The food here is wonderful, everything we ordered was excellent. Our server was very friendly and had great recommendations. Cool atmosphere. We will definitely return when back in Minneapolis.
Awesome server, brought out complimentary sparkling wine when they found out it was our anniversary. Tri-tip was cooked perfectly but $200+ for a couple of drinks, an app and 2 meals is steep, especially when 1 of the meals was an $18 sausage. Would return with a group and share plates but better options out there for romantic dinner
Cassie was amazing, the sausage combo is a must, the pork chop was insane, cornbread is lights out and not too sweet! Was really great to visit this place again after many years. Bring back the duck breast! New location is huge and has all the feels of the old location! Definitely will be back!
The food was excellent and so were the drinks! The bartender/server, Ben, was attentive and made great suggestions for food and drinks/wine to go with it. The other servers and the manager made it right when our mashed potatoes came out luke warm without us having to complain. Definitely recommend the blue crab croquettes and the Brussels sprouts. Overall a great experience for our first time there we will definitely be back!
Excellent service! Abbi W was our server and she made the dinner so much better! Good food doesn’t matter without good service. We will definitely be back and ask for Abbi!
Great food and drinks and a very inviting and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend the Blue Crab Beignet's and Red Hot Brussel Sprouts. The butchers choice was also excellent the night we ate there. The host, waitress, and other staff were very friendly. Definitely will be returning!
Good vibe, good cocktail list, excellent spirit list and excellent happy hour. Oh, and extra points for very strong execution of the speakeasy setup and execution—there’s no markings on either entrance.

First off. The food was amazing. If that's what you're going for you're going to enjoy this! However, we were there for an enjoyable evening, and while our server was absolutely lovely the actual service was less than ideal. We ordered an appetizer and the rest of our food all at once. It didn't occur to us (at all) that this meant that the appetizer, the salad, and all of the hot food would appear on our table all at once! We were quite hungry and the appetizer was ordered so we would get it quickly and not have to wait so long. This is just not something I would think to have to tell a server. At very least she could've asked the question. Furthermore, our drinks were empty before any of the food arrived and we were never checked on to see if we wanted any additional beverages before our food arrived. I also do not recall her stopping by to see if everything had arrived to our satisfaction. Finally, after most of the food had been consumed, we flagged her down to ask for a beverage list and it took so long to get that list that we were actually done eating at that point. So we declined further drinks and that was a loss of the restaurant. We were there for a birthday and they did have a couple of nice touches for that but if you want to go and spend some time, relaxing and enjoying a leisurely meal, you may need to be more proactive with your server than we were. Overall, we had a nice evening, but I'm still disappointed that our cold food and appetizer appeared at the same time as all of that tasty hot food. We didn't complain at the time and we did not ask for any consideration, but this was our experience. Now you know.
Favorite speakeasy in North Loop! The happy hour here is one of the best in the city. You can’t go wrong with the Butcher Burger and Curly Fries for $12 bucks !! The specialty cocktails are always interesting, the frozen cocktails are madly refreshing, the hip hop jams are perfect in the space, and you can’t beat the customer service. Please don’t change a thing!

Super cool vibe, the servers were lovely, great food (had the curvy fries, beef and cheese and grilled sourdough) and several cocktails. Can’t wait to come back!

First time dining here. When you walk in, from the time we met the hosts to getting seated, you are treated like a regular. The restaurant is beautiful inside. Our server, Ian, was very informative and gave us great dining options. We were on a tight schedule and he was very attentive to us getting going with our order. We had the catfish and flat iron steak with a shared plate of asparagus. Everything was so very delicious.
We stumbled upon this cocktail bar that gives speakeasy vibes… especially since we came through the unconventional entrance. Tony welcomed us with open arms. This visit introduced us to the most unique drink we’ve ever experienced - Eat Street, a flavorful pho explosion in your mouth. It’s a fun place with cool people and strong vibes. Already anticipating a trip back!

Celebrated my brother's birthday with family. Always enjoy when a restaurant brings dessert with a candle for a birthday. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable and anticipated our needs. Good diversity of food and drink options. Particularly enjoyed the sides for sharing. We will definitely return
