The dishes come out delicious every time. It makes dining incredibly easy when I know I can choose anything on the menu and it will be great. The service is also incredible. Knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly staff. The dining and bar areas are equally beautiful in distinctive ways. Very pleasing to the eye. Zelo is a must try downtown, and if you do, it will become one of your go to restaurants for a nice night out.“

“Great experience tonight! It was my first time visiting. Robert was SO great! I’ve been wanting to come here for a while. Robert took great care of us. Food and drink suggestions were perfect and he answered any and all questions we had. Very attentive. The manager also stopped by and greeted us. Food was fresh and delicious! I cannot say enough amazing things about this place 🥰“

“Очень вкусно , красивое стильное место, очень понравилось.“

“Someone at The Capital Grille must have read Will Guidara’s Unreasonable Hospitality, because this experience was such a perfect example of what it means to make people feel genuinely special.

In casual conversation, we mentioned that we were headed to a show at the Orpheum that evening and that we had gotten married three weeks earlier. That was it. We weren’t there celebrating our wedding or expecting any special recognition.

But they listened.

Before we knew it, little confetti hearts appeared on our table, and later they surprised us with a complimentary dessert, beautifully arranged on a tray to acknowledge our recent marriage.

They were small gestures, but that’s exactly what made them so meaningful. They noticed something personal, remembered it, and found a way to turn an ordinary dinner before a show into an experience that felt uniquely ours.

The food was fantastic, but what we’ll remember most is how they made us feel. Thoughtful, unexpected, personal hospitality like this is rare, and The Capital Grille absolutely nailed it.“

“Excellent food, great service🇺🇸“

“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.“

“Best halibut & shrimp ever!“

“The cashier was really friendly. I asked about the juices and which would be the sweetest and he let me try it first. Ended up loving it. The food was amazing ! Hot honey chicken quesadillas with the best French fries 🍟 ever. Also came with ketchup, sour cream, and a spicy avocado salsa. Hot and fresh and will definitely go back.“

“i came to visit Minneapolis from Wisconsin.... and a friend recommended this to me.... so I came and it didn't disappoint... my waitress and the owner made me feel at home and the pork chop... cheesy bread and macaroni and cheese was phenomenal! and the service was AMAZING!!!“

“Food was very delicious, service was top notch. Would definitely go back to try more of the options. Our Waiter was great and very informative.“

“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!“

“The other week, I was in the northern metro suburbs and started to get hungry. I drove past Sarna's Grill in Columbia Heights and, judging by the building's welcoming appearance, decided to park and give it a try (though I know that doesn't necessarily mean the food or service will be good).\n\nThat said, my decision was bolstered by the spacious, inviting interior, wide aisles, booths filled with couples and families, and the waitstaff delivering trays of appetizing food.\n\nA friendly waitperson greeted me at my table and offered me a menu with a variety of options, from burgers and salads to complete meals, including pasta and hot turkey or beef.\n\nI chose the BLT on artisan whole wheat with a side of coleslaw. It looked so tempting that I took a bite of half the sandwich before realizing I hadn't taken a picture of the food. What you see in the attached image is the mouth-watering inside of the delicious BLT.\n\nAs it turned out, I had an hour to kill. After finishing my meal, I asked if I could hang out for a while. The friendly waitperson said I could stay as long as I wanted and brought me a cup of coffee to pass the time.\n\nThat kindness made my day and earned her a nice tip. Plus, I promised to return the next time I'm in the neighborhood.“

“On top of having great service the food was amazing. I had half a dozen Oysters, they were delicious and the King Crab leg with there ranch and cheese mashed potatoes. It was a lot of food but the best I’ve had. I’d say they were as good as or better than the Oceanaire downtown Minneapolis. Bill was $180 before the tip.“

“The food was delicious 😋 10/10“

“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.“

“muy excelente atención y la comida muy rica y deliciosa 😋 muy bonito“

“More options than most local poké restaurants. Artfully crafted custom bowls are their specialty. Plan to take time to review their substantial menu of traditional poké favorite ingredients. Several salmon and tuna choices along with other protein options allow for a variety of tasty options.
Be sure to try their pickled radish option, it's mouth watering.“

“I ordered the beef ribs and pork ribs with their 5 cheese baked Mac and cheese and it was absolutely delicious!!! The pork ribs were a bit salty but if you eat it with the BBQ sauce they provide it's amazing I got them with the side Mac and the Mac was soooo good! You can tell there are 5 different cheeses and it wasn't dry! The pork ribs came with about 4 ribs and a few ends. The beef ribs are pretty big and came with 2 and an extra end. Next time I order I will definitely be getting just the beef ribs in my opinion they were better they had a bit of spice to them and weren't too salty! Baked Mac and cheese 9/10 just wish it came with a little more. Pork ribs 6/10 they were too salty but decent. Beef ribs 9/10 perfectly seasoned just wanted a little more moisture.“

“Very reasonable and everything we ordered was amazing. Definitely check them out!“

“Our service from Naomi was impeccable. She was very nice and attentive. The chicken wings were crispy outside and tender inside, just how I like them. The wild mushroom and spinach ravioli was delicious. The ribeye steak was very flavorful. Even the French fries were super tasty, crispy outside and tender inside. We had one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time.“

“I've written 3 reviews in the last hour.... None of them show up. Same reviews get shown over and over. 35 years I've been going there, never again. Down hill“

“Excellent, 5 stars, no words.“

“The chicken is FIYA LOL FR I'm picky and I don't like most people's food I'm from Memphis so I'm very particular about how food taste especially being in Minnesota this is the only chicken that taste anything close to home. I'm addicted lol“

“Large assortment of Dim Sum.“

“I don’t think I’ve been quite disappointed this much to be honest. Everything was too salty, the gizzards were so tough I had to throw it away…. Perch was salty, coleslaw was alright. It is too bad I had this experience because I was really hoping for a good fish place to come once a week“
