Ordered Waygu beef medium on the reddish side and received an overcooked(had to cut off the outside layer to get a chewable piece, otherwise like jerky) and half of it was full of gristle. $95 just for the entree was unacceptable. Got an apology from Wait staff.

These folks have known how to do fine dining for decades. One of my favorites growing up and now I take my own kids.

An absolute Minneapolis Classic. There’s something for everyone and the staff are always wonderful. Make sure you let them know if it’s your first time, you might get a special little tour.

Excellent, I recommend it without thinking twice. The atmosphere, attention, and exquisite food are extraordinary. The wine is not to mention delicious. CONCLUSION: 100. %. Marvelous.

A family and cult classic. I’ve been going here since I was a kid and it’s never disappointed. Plus, pulling your own trout out of the creek out back is always fun, not matter how old I get.

Party of 10. Celebrating 5 birthdays.
Food was great. Our waiter was outstanding. Disappointed in Mgmt.
A near by bus boy cleaning tables accidentally dropped a sour cream cup that took an awkward jump and 7 of us got sour cream in our hair and clothes.
It was an accident, not blaming the busser. Someone came over and gave us some napkins so we could clean up.
Not one word from management about this nor one mention of any of our birthdays. We dropped $850 and not 1 free dessert. Thought they could have done better.

Thank you for allowing the wedding to take over the restaurant and intruding on others enjoyment of their evening.
Thank you for charging me a $9.00 facility charge without telling me.
Thank you for charging me a fee to season and blacken our steaks without telling me.
Thank you for serving my guests the incorrect steak temperatures from what was ordered.
Thank you for allowing the wedding photographer do whatever they wanted to get pictures, regardless of how intrusive it was on your other guests.
JAX management. Please don’t forget about those guests that have contributed to your longevity. My family has been coming to your restaurant for over 40 years. We stuck with you after the structural damage closing and during the pandemic. Please remember this when you make decisions or allowances such as those highlighted above.
