Protagonist Kitchen and Bar Reviews
Celebrating NYE on our own for the first time since Covid we decided to walk across the street and eat here. My husband had the Miso Mushroom pasta with shrimp and I had the grilled salmon with polenta cakes. Our booth was romantic (dark) and the owner brought us the cutest little table lamp. We had a great conversation about what a gem they have!
Fabulously knowledgeable co-owners, who have so much passion about their food, sauces, and flavors. Talk to them when you drop in; you’ll be impressed! The food is fabulous! Fantastic variety. Though my family mostly loves to drop in for dinner, this restaurant also catered a party that I hosted so amazingly. Their “State Fair” seasonal appetizer menu is impressive, too!
Food is just soo good! A hidden gem in Richfield! Convenient and free parking ramp! Great ambiance! Reasonable price for a great food selection! Awesome staff!
