We had an amazing experience thanks to our server, Lauren! From the moment we were seated, she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She knew the menu well, made great recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without being intrusive. The service truly elevated our meal, and we left feeling well taken care of. We’ll definitely be back and hope to be served by her again!

Surprisingly good seafood found in Minneapolis Minnesota while on a business trip.
Convenient location next my hotel made the trip here very easy.
Showed up on a Tuesday around 7pm and it was popping off in the restaurant and bar sections. Good sign.
Service was prompt, Dylan G was a great waiter and the menu had a lot of good options.
I ended up getting the special; Lobster Rosa Pappardelle. Wow.. really good!
Portion nice, lots of lobster which was perfectly cooked. Noodles were so good, sauce even better!
Good spot.. ill be back on my next trip here!
Went there a second night. The Canadian Walleye was also great!

Nick and Britt did a great job at the bar. I was sitting at the bar. They were very attentive even with high drinks volume coming from the tables. The food came out with perfect timing. I had a salad, was able to finish it without being rushed into the entre. The drinks we quick and tasted great. I will definitely be back of this is how they operate.

Our waitress, Jenn, was delightful and helpful plus she gave informed suggestions. She greatly enhanced our dining experience. Our bourbon cocktails, crab queso appetizer, lobster quiche and blackened walleye were all superb. It was a wonderful experience.

This was a great experience. We were sat down immediately and our server was great as well. I had been here once before but played it safe and just ordered a burger .This time around I had a crab cake which was probably the best I’ve had in a long time. Plenty of crab, seasoned to perfection, nice size, the sear on this crab cake was flawless, just a sear not burnt, it was juicy as well not over packed with filler and dry and the Cajun sauce on top the best. I probably should have gotten more lol, but it was just the appetizer. Next I had the Blackened Fish tacos. The walleye was delicious so flaky, nicely seared and flavor was lacking a bit but the lemon vinaigrette , Pico and avocado cream helped. I did still need to add a bit of salt. Now there is a hot sauce on the tacos that I over looked so I didn’t like that but I don’t like hot sauce at all. Over all , it was really good. My husband ordered the fish and chips. He liked its but out of ten it was like a seven. He didn’t like the batter too much but still enjoyed the food . I would recommend this place if you are looking for a nice happy hour or an elevated seafood experience not Oceanaire but just the every day experience if that make sense.

The hostess was very welcoming and sat us immediately. Our server John was very kind, welcoming, and genuine. We came to celebrate our first Anniversary and he was a major part of making our experience so wonderful. All other staff we came into contact with were also great. The food came out quicker than we expected and “freshly piping hot”. The food was very flavorful and prepared with great care. We walked in shortly before 6pm and left just before 7pm. We had an appetizer, main course, and dessert. All on a Saturday night. That in itself speaks for the quality of service at this establishment. We will definitely be visiting again.
