“Came here for an event and was blown away by the food! Every dish was delicately prepared especially the sauce and the dressings. The filet mignon was tender and juicy and the the side mash potatoes were so rich along with the gravy. I savored every bite. The salad was also amazing. The dressing was very unique and really highlighted the freshness of the apples and greens. For dessert, I recommend the crème brûlée. It was absolutely amazing and melted in your mouth. Service was fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone in the area.“

“Absolutely tasty shakes and great food!Parking: Parking is difficult to get to without either being parked in the St Mary’s Hospital campus, on the street, or if you pay to park in the lot attached to Red Cow which is also for an apartment complex so unsure if it is accessible to everyone or just tenants.“

“Our server Joe was on point with all his recommendations and the entire service team was equally attentive. The best charcuterie in Rochester and worth a visit - I will go back for the espresso brûlée as well. All food and drinks were outstanding and bonus points for the fabulous decor (crystal chandeliers everywhere!). So glad this restaurant is part of the local food scene!!“

Eating here is not just about having a meal, it's an experience. A culmination of different flavors and textures brought together in a familiar dish in a way that I would have never imagined.It's exciting.

“I’ve had come in with my Grandmother and my Aunt along with a elderly family friend, it was good until we got to the register to a very annoyed employee who didn’t care to hide he was irritated. Openly sighing and generally rolling his eyes. His name tag said Diego, don’t know if it was the end of his shift but he was just kind of stand offish, and rude.“

The meat was good but I think it needed more seasonings. Onion rings were delicious! Hubby had cheese steak fries he loved it! I will definitely come back and try the frie with steak.“

“Great burger, and that’s the obvious draw of this place. They’ve got some unique choices on the menu that sound great, or you can build your own burger. They include a lot of allergen friendly options which is fantastic. The ordering is done using a QR code on your table and it is a bit awkward, definitely not a seamless process. It’s a bit loud and crowded, which if you’re into that it’s a cool place but it was a bit claustrophobic for me. Overall, a place I would visit again if I’m looking for a good burger.“

“The Redwood Room is truly a hidden gem in Rochester, MN. Its cozy atmosphere and pleasant ambience make it an ideal spot for a romantic date or a casual night out with friends. Live music is often played, adding to the welcoming vibe. I have tried several dishes here and found the salmon, chicken Milanese, and creamy Cajun sauté to be particularly delicious. I highly recommend the latter with fettuccini or pasta instead of rice. They will happily accommodate your request if you ask. It's been around for a while and i remember even as a kid coming a few times with my parents to celebrate birthdays. Definitely a place to try if you are in the area.“

“Had the feel of a normal steak restaurant. Very friendly people working there. I had a hamburger and fries and it was very good. Tasted almost like steak. I get my burger well done and most places mess that up. It was actually well done. Amazing. We ate outside. They have a fenced in area outside with trees and stuff so people driving by can't stare at you. They also had fires going on these carts in the patio area. Very nice. It was all on a brick slab type patio. I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend this place to eat.“

“For the last 4 months, I've stayed 3 times at this hotel. It is wonderful. Clean, newly renovated, minutes walking distance to Dan Abraham 's Center and close to the other Mayo facilities. There is shuttle with convenient schedule, as well. The staff is great. Friendly, nice and most important, ready to help. Inadvertently, at my last stay, I booked a different hotel. Lisa and Alex went far and beyond to resolve my issue. They were so caring and professional. Their attitude took away the stress from the situation. During my stay few days before Thanksgiving, there was a full Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey and all the trimmings. How thoughtful and nice! Many people come to the area for medical appointments and treatments. When the hotel is so wonderful and the staff is so nice, difficult moments feel manageable.Thank you all for your hard work.“

I had the burrito bowl with pulled pork, which was also pretty good. I thought the food was overpriced considering the quality. The servings were large, but neither of us opted to bring home the leftovers.Parking: Parking was very easy in the large lot.“

“Best homemade soups in town. There are usually 6 different ones to choose from, and all are delicious. Salads are made fresh while you watch as are the sandwiches. Service is quick and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend that you stop in soon, and don't forget the complimentary homemade rolls for your soup. Deserves more than 5 stars, but that is the most I can give them.“

I liked the place, had a neat garage vibe with lots of cool retro and vintage signs on the walls. Wasn't overly busy when we stopped too. Would definitely stop again to try one of their other offerings.“

One customer even brought me in a home made pastry. After my surgeries i was at vfw cafe and with so many vets that i sure as hell couldnt complain about my injuries. Im still fighting but back at my California estate. Thanks to all that were there for me. I cried on a nice ladies shoulder. The clients and staff were my family. I miss the pasta fettucini special.
