"We decided to dine here for my niece’s birthday dinner. We felt a bit separated from the rest of the restaurant right away. We had forgotten our masks and asked if they had extras or we would go grab some. The hostess said it was fine and seated us directly to the side of the hostess station which was on the left of the front door. We had a party of 9 and had two little tables put together. We made a comment that it might be too little room and the hostess said “no, we will make it fit.” At one point I was stacking our plates on a barstool that was next to the booth. Our waiter seemed preoccupied with the rest of his tables, as we waited for refills for drinks for long periods and a side of guacamole that was ordered with a meal. He mixed up the kids meals and left out a Mac and cheese. He brought it when everyone was finished eating. Luckily our baby loves Mexican food. He might’ve had a hard time because he didn’t write down our order. On to the food! Mine and my best friend’s Chile rellanos were tasty. I ordered mine with extra cheese, but it seemed to have the same amount of my bff. They were very lacking in size compared to other rellanos I’ve enjoyed. My bffs husbands grande burrito was pretty good. He did actually think they left out the steak, but the waiter insisted it was there and sure enough he dug and found a few pieces. Not anywhere near 1/3 of the burrito like it’s advertised to have. The kids ate all their Mac and cheese and chicken fingers so they said it was yummy. The ground beef on top of my child’s nachos looked and tasted very greasy. She didn’t eat much. The enchiladas were good, but again lacking in portion. All in all, the service was poor, and the food disappointing. Some was tasty but maybe for lunch specials at a discounted price. We left feeling hungry and confused. For $150 bill we shouldn’t have to hit McDonald’s on the way home. I will say that it was also kind of uncomfortable where we were seated when it got extremely busy. Everyone watched us eating and we felt as though we offended the staff for not having masks. We certainly would’ve gotten them if the hostess had told us to. We would never want to make anyone feel uncomfortable or anything bad. I gave this two stars because most of the food was tasty."

"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"
