Great table service!We had the cod fish fry which was quite good compared to any other one we've tried in MN. Tons of fries come with.Also tried the Cubano. Very good, but was quite salty and the pickles were just... Fine.Overall very good, and we'll go back.

First time at Protagonist, had a mid-week business lunch. Food was really great, we both had salads which were super fresh and with a nice selection of ingredients. Who puts thick cut bacon in a chef salad! Service was friendly and prompt. Just a heads-up, my phone took me to the garage, and there are no signs to the restaurant from that south side. Just go into the building and you'll see it.
