“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service at The Tavern Grill – Minnetonka What a wonderful dining experience! From start to finish, everything flowed beautifully — even with a surprise 20-top arriving while we were there. Our server, **Sam**, was EXCELLENT!!🌟 She handled everything with grace, professionalism, and a warm smile that made us feel genuinely cared for. Her timing, attentiveness, and positive energy elevated the entire evening — she’s a true gem and a reflection of great hospitality. We were also so impressed by the **manager**, who personally stepped in to bring out our appetizers with such kindness and professionalism. It showed true leadership and teamwork — and we noticed! 👏 The food was delicious, the atmosphere vibrant, and the service absolutely top-notch. Thank you, Tavern Grill team, for going above and beyond to make our evening special. We’ll definitely be back — and asking for Sam! 💛🙌“

“We hosted an event at Rum Row and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. The drinks and food were excellent, and the speakeasy vibe was a hit with all of our guests. Chad and his team made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Highly recommend Rum Row for any event!“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“Highly recommend Mr. Paul's Supper Club for a fun night with friends or a date night. I would suggest you make a reservation as it was hopping even on a Sunday night. We sat at the full service bar with Dante hooking us up all evening. He is skilled in his craft, made an amazing Old Fashioned and provided excellent drink and food recommendations. Food was absolutely awesome starting with some oysters, main course of lobster gnocchi finishing with apple crisp. Diverse menu with plenty of options. Courtney treated us like kings and took the time to ensure we were well taken care of from start to finish! Great experience, go see em' you won't be disappointed. #MrPaulsSupperClub #edinarestaurants #ThingsToDoInEdina #50thAndFrance“

“Had a great time tonight at Tequila Butcher celebrating a friend's birthday. Great food, great drinks, Ryan was our waiter, great fun!“

“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“Heidi was so helpful! The food was fresh and well seasoned. Great tasting guacamole and fresh made chips! Clean inviting space! Chipotle never again!“

“Food was very good. My mom got the shrimp lemon and chicken pasta which was FANTASTIC 10/10 on that. My dad got the pot roast stroganoff which was also fantastic another 10/10. I got the prime rib French dip which the sandwich was fantastic, however the au jus was very bland which was disappointing. The tater tots were awesome. Would definitely eat here again!!“

“I stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Ramp Valet service was greatly appreciated. The atmosphere of the restaurant was awesome, the house old fashioned was perfect, the house burger and fries excellent.
The waitress told me it was happy hour so the already reasonable prices were even less.
As I was leaving a band was setting up.
If I lived a little closer this place would be a regular spot for me.“

“The service is horrible. Waited 20mins before getting someone to take just our drink order and it was the bartender from inside not even our server that noticed we were still sitting there with nothing. Then barley good service once our waiter did finally come. We all could have had another drink but never could since we werent asked till after we were done with food. Food was actually really good and good portions for the price. But the service ruined it. I can't recommend this place and don't know if we will back. Plenty of other places with good food that actually have good service.“

“Food is amazing and so was our server Abraham!“

“Delicious food and fun atmosphere!“

“Great cocktails and brunch in a fun, comfortable atmosphere. Our bartender was friendly and they have a nice, dog friendly patio. Will definitely go back!“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“The food always hits so good! I love eating here and the portions are giant! The drink list is also fantastic. Can't wait until its warmer to enjoy their patio again!“

“Just got a personal Hawaiian pizza! No matter what you get...always great! The young man host was EXCEPTIONAL that checked me out ( he brought my pizza to my car and went inside to grab extra blue cheese dressing for me.) If only he knew...his kindness was the light I needed during a really rough day. Thank you!“

“We had a dinner party for 33 people in this wonderful place on Saturday night celebrating the marriage of my son and his new bride. The manager Stephanie was so wonderful to work with knowing we would be taking up almost half the restaurant. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great experience as our first time!“

“The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor you can tell they really care about quality. The atmosphere was super nice too, perfect for a relaxed meal. Thanks to Johanna, who gave us amazing service! She was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this place, we’ll be back for sure!“

“Family and I had an incredible time there on a Wednesday night. The atmosphere was great, we were greated by the owners who were so hospitable to our family after we acccidentally walked through the wrong entrance, and gave us a couple of Hamm's anyways! From there it was all even better, with amazing service from all the staff, food that was so so so good, and came out quick, and music and energy that just permeated every moment. It was truly above and beyond!

We are avowed super fans of Mothership now, can't wait to take our friends if they haven't been! It's the best of what the Twin Cities can offer. Full Stop.

Thank you all at Mothership!“

“The food was fantastic and service was superb. I had the Salmon and Pimento Scramble which was amazing with a great blend of flavors. My wife had the Hope Breakfast which she said hit the spot. Overall, and excellent dining experience! Very highly recommend.“

“Delicious, beautiful, great service.“

“Best sushi ever! Love oyama“

“We have been more than satisfied every time we have eaten here. Lots of appealing choices, GF, kids’ meals, great drinks. The service was very good. And I can assure you that management goes over and above to accommodate. Thank you, Nell!“

“We always have such a great time at COV! The decor and music is always on point. The staff is so great.

Would be nice for another vegan food option. If the cauliflower appetizer could be made vegan it would open up options.“

“gone here many times and they've got great food!“

“I was pleasantly surprised that the food was very good. I had the filet, and it was cooked perfectly. The filet was juicy, tender, and delicious. I also enjoyed the vegetables that came with it, including the fingerling potatoes. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their food, including the steak bites, steak salad, and the walleye. It did take quite a long time to get our food, but luckily, it was worth the wait. The dining room was a bit chilly, but was clean and comfortable. The server did a good job.“

“I visited the Bayshore location in Glendale, Wisconsin for lunch. I used the coupon for $5 off & it was absolutely outstanding. I will be back for sure.“

“I’m a local to the area and decided to go to the reveal rooftop to have some birthday drinks, and it was the best decision. The night was great, the atmosphere was great, the drinks and the food were great too. Brian helped to take care of us and he did a fabulous job!“

“My wife and I stopped into San Pancho Mexican Restaurant in Long Lake during their soft opening and were very impressed. Although the restaurant has been around for several years, it’s now under new ownership as of mid-January by the Luna family, and the difference was immediately clear. The food was outstanding—authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with care and passion. This wasn’t rushed or generic Mexican food; you could truly taste the quality and pride in every bite. The service was just as wonderful, with a sincere and welcoming host and wait staff. The restaurant has also received a beautiful facelift. It’s clean, recently renovated, and filled with bright colors and décor that give it a warm, authentic Mexican feel. We had a great meal and are excited for their official opening. We’ll definitely be back! — Hans and Keaton Frees“

“Well crafted menu, seasonally updated, outstanding scratch deserts, great for night out, special occasions or lunch after shopping. Highly recommended“

“I've been to this location four times, the food has been great everytime, my favorite is the deviled egg open face sandwich and banana bread latte. Even the busier times I've visited the service has been good and attentive. Couple things to note, seating near the door can be pretty uncomfortable especially on a cold day and there is an hour limit per table, which is not based on when your order is taken or receiving your order but from when you arrive at your table, even if they're busy and orders are taken well after you've been seated. Two minutes after collecting payment we were informed of this rule, although the host wasn't rude when sharing this it felt a little less than appreciative of our business, not sure I'll return because of this.“

“The food was great but our server, Aurora, was the highlight of the night. Excellent service and made the visit a wonderful a time.

We had the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, and Lechon.

The lechon (small plate/appetizer) was smaller in portion than I would have expected for the price, but was still good.

The portions for the main dishes were generous and the food was flavorful.

I would definitely go back“

“Cenamos delicioso! La atención y el ambiente excelente! Un 💯 para el Chef!“

“Was at Moes's Char House Chanhassen with Sarah Morgan . Pulled $250 in Pulltabs. The waiter, an Excelsior Dufus, would not let me use 3 credit cards, he demanded cash. I tipped him $30 and then the manager yelled at me for shorting the tab. $50 in cash had gone missing from the table as the Excelsior Man giggled at me. I tipped him $30 more and left. Don't go to Moe's Char House!“

“Love the reopening of this nostalgic restaurant from my childhood. The all-you-can-eat chips and salsa are the best (I had to really discipline myself to not completely fill up on these!). I had the hibiscus fresca NA cocktail and it was fantastic. I ordered the carne asada tacos on corn tortillas (love that you can choose flour or corn) and they were really good. The corn tortillas were a little thick and chewy but that didn't impact the flavor at all. A small side of guac with my tacos was perfect. Our server was really attentive up front but then left us alone to enjoy our conversation, and again instantly available when we wanted our bill. Would definitely go back to try more of the menu!“
