"No valet and distant parking on a Saturday night in Minnesota in mid February caused us to be late for our reservation. Topping it of was the event parking charge in the ramp three blocks away. We completely missed the entrance and walked around the corner in our search due the ridiculous placement of the sign that can only be seen from across the street. We were clumsily greeted and then seated at our table by the windows as requested. A welcome and appreciated bonus which was quickly or slowly negated by waiting for minutes for our drinks. They did comp the booze which was a nice gesture but I would have rather paid to have the drink in my hand.Our server was friendly and knowledgeable but mostly absent during our time there. The place did not seam at all full and came across short staffed for even the modest crowd.On to the food. When three diners make a point of calling out the drinks and the wedge salad as being the highlights there is something not right happening in the kitchen. My scallops were minimal and seared nicely albeit on just one side. The lobster spaghetti had a wonderfully sublime flavor with the cognac sauce but you had to really hunt down the alleged lobster. The roasted quail was a big meh. Not much flavor, quite diminutive even for quail and just barely above room temperature.Not a difficult endeavor for the kitchen and maybe telling was the wedge salads. Served on properly chilled plates were fresh tasting with a zesty dressing, crunchy bacon and dill that brightened up the ubiquitous offering. Sad that it was the best thing set in front of us that evening.We had high expectations knowing that the “chef of the year” was running the show but those hopes were dashed by the experience overall and mediocre food. Far too many other choices in our great Twin Cities to put up with that"

"We pulled up to The People 's Kitchen and were informed by the vallet that he could not park our car because, The cops are watching me. So we parked in a private lot. It was a weird start to a weird night at The People 's Kitchen. Then we entered the restaurant and were told by the hostess that the kitchen had closed due to a technical glitch. We were informed that we could still order cheese ...was that the good news? or we could go eat at Mezcal up the street. We decided to just stay for one drink. After having our cocktail, I had to flag down our invisible waitstaff twice to pay for our drinks. At one point, I place my wallet directly on the table and hoped that I could pay for our bill via wallet osmosis. The cocktails were good. Now, normally I don 't expect special treatment while I 'm out to eat. But if you 've booked reservations at a restaurant, and the kitchen is closed unexpectedly, wouldn 't you offer some of that amazing cheese to your customers? So, in closing, in our most recent visit to The People 's Kitchen, we could not park our car, eat, or pay for our bill, all in a restaurant that was not surprisingly quite empty for a Friday night. The best part of the story is that my date didn 't want to go there in the first place because she 's had similarly odd experiences each time she 's gone there. Thanks to The People 's Kitchen for proving her right. Again."
