This was honestly one of the most shocking and disappointing restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. When we arrived, we were given a menu with normal items and no mention of any fixed-price dinner. We ordered based on that menu.
But what they served was completely different from what was written. The dishes looked nothing like the descriptions, the ingredients didn’t match, and the food had an unpleasant smell that made it impossible to eat. Everything felt rushed, confusing, and absolutely not worth the price they eventually charged.
The worst part came at the end: we were suddenly handed a $503 bill without ANY explanation or warning. No one told us about prices, no one said anything about a $100 dinner, and no one showed any menu that would justify such a cost. It was completely unexpected and felt extremely misleading.
Restaurants should be transparent, honest, and respectful to their customers. Here, everything was the opposite — misleading menu, low-quality food, and a huge hidden bill at the end. This place needs serious attention from management and authorities. I would not recommend anyone to go through what we experienced.

Food was nicely presented and tasty. The dessert was fantastic. Didn't have any non-alcoholic options to pair with dinner. Biggest negative was how loud it was in the dining room. We felt like our servers were yelling to present the dish. It was uncomfortable how loud the room was with only 20 or so people in there. I felt it really made the dining experience rather chaotic. My companions and I were unable to have an awesome experience due to the noise.

Wonderful experience from walking in until we left. Greeted us, asked for our names and remembered them throughout the night. Ahead of us going, they reached out as they knew we had a gluten intolerance and shared the flour they use which people with gluten intolerance can tolerate. Ended up getting the wine pairing with the meal and was able to eat everything except breadcrumbs that they don’t use the flour. Unbelievable experience, very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food. 1st timers but will most definitely be back. The apple custard dessert was one of the best desserts I’ve had. They rotate the menu every 6-8 weeks.

Fall tasting menu was very well prepared and hearty. Small number of tables in dining room allow the attentive staff to provide exceptional service. Limited drink options available in the dining room.

Love the place and atmosphere. The food was not that impressive. I loved the service, they were excellent. The girl with the tats was outstanding. She explained the menu very well and made a delicious lemonade.
Ok, the food. Set menu, but not all made sense. We started with the salad, which was probably my favorite dish. Amazing! Then the gnocchi, which was well prepared but the flavor wasn’t my favorite. The salmon soup was too greasy; I am not sure what was in the stock, but it tasted like fat. The chicken square thing — I’m not sure what the name was — but it was delicious, and the sauce was perfect. The pasta needs to go! That was the worst dish of the night. Terrible, overcooked pasta, and the beef tasted like fat or poor-quality beef. It is a sign when more than half the restaurant doesn’t eat or finish a plate. The palate cleanser was mediocre and tasted like a broken Walmart popsicle. The dessert was my second favorite. The texture, the acidity, and the sweetness combined were delicious!
I think for the price it is a good restaurant, great concept idea with a lot of potential. I would not pay more for this type of food unless they improve the menu.
I will definitely come back to try it again and update the review. I gave it 4 stars because the service was outstanding. We ended up paying almost $300 for 2.

Had an amazing dinner and drink pairing here while visiting Minneapolis. The servers and bartenders were phenomenal and gave great recommendations. Food was outstanding. Great ambiance and loved the selection of vinyls playing. Would love to come back.

It was an incredible experience. This place has been on my list of places to try for a while and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible. The service was to notch. The ambiance was comfortable. It's exciting to see what each dish is going to be. If you're a picky eater or if you like looking ahead at the menu for every restaurant you try, be boring and skip it. But if you're looking for something unique and want to impress your date, give it a try! Food, drinks, and service: 10/10

We had wanted to come here for a long time. It's a prix fixe menu which I like, with extra wine pairings for an extra cost. The wine choices were terrific with the meal. I have to admit I was kind of underwhelmed by the meal we had. It was good, but it wasn't anything really special for the price. They did accommodate a seafood restriction for one of our party, though in one case, it seems they just left out the seafood instead of making a substantial substitution. (We did communicate the restriction at the time we made our reservation, and they were proactively sensitive to it.) The service was good, and the space is cool. We loved the side bar where we had a cocktail before dinner. I'd like to come back here for drinks.
Wonderful evening - be sure to visit the Next Door bar, too!

The staff is not friendly and short with patrons. Behavior is overly patronizing in that it becomes condescending in word and tone. I agree with other negative reviews of this place.

I really enjoyed the relatively casual and intimate atmosphere here. The dining room is fairly small, and it seems that everybody is seated around the same time and served with matched pacing from one tasting menu. Quite a few of our dishes had some southern influence to them like the fried green tomato, and the cornbread/collared greens tower. Everything tasted great, and the portion sizes for each course felt just right to leave you satisfied.
