I rarely leave reviews, but my experience here was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share it. This was, without question, one of the top five worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.

I ordered the Chicken Sandwich with a side of Broccolini but was mistakenly served the Smash Burger instead. No problem, I politely sent it back and waited for the correct order. While waiting, I tried the broccolini, which was so undercooked it was practically raw. I sent that back as well and requested fries instead.

When the Chicken Sandwich finally arrived, I immediately noticed it was overcooked. The batter was extremely dark/burnt in several spots, and even the chicken beneath was dry and discolored. Against my better judgment, I took a small bite just to be sure I wasn’t overreacting, but it tasted exactly how it looked: burnt and inedible.

I told the bartender that if this is how they serve the dish, it should be removed from the menu because it was truly awful. His only response was, “I’ll let the chef know,” with no apology or offer to remove it from the bill.

As someone who travels frequently, I make a point to support local restaurants rather than chains, but this experience made me regret that choice. It left me heading straight for the nearest chain restaurant just to ensure a decent meal.

My husband and I came here before a show at the Guthrie last evening. Our server, Kim, was knowledgeable about the menu and very nice! She helped us get out the door for our show quickly when we realized we were running a bit behind. Honestly everyone on the staff (host, manager, bartenders) were so friendly; they really made the experience great. For drinks we got the Basic Plus (if you like sweet drinks, it was so good!) and an Old Fashioned. We did the Arancini for an appetizer and then the steak and bolognese for our entrees—everything was delicious!! The atmosphere is classy, and we had a cozy spot in one of the big booths—perfect for a date. We had such a good time, we doubled back for dessert since our show didn’t end too late. Good vibes and food, and excellent service!!

I came to see the Dueling Pianos at the Canopy by Hilton, and it was such a fun night! The band was fantastic—great energy and amazing talent. You could tell everyone in the room was having a great time.

The Umbra restaurant, which is connected to the hotel, was just as impressive. The manager was incredibly attentive—she stopped by our table several times to check on us and even helped with our orders. The food was delicious, and the service made it even better.

I absolutely loved the ambience—classy, relaxing, and perfect for a night out. Between the music, the food, the drinks, and the company of good friends, it turned out to be a memorable evening. I’d definitely go back!

Had dinner on a Thursday night and it wasn’t too busy but we did make a reservation to be safe. We were seated right away. The service was a bit slow. We ordered the Arancini to start which was very good. I loved the sauce. For my entrèe I ordered the walleye. It was fine. It came out lukewarm but again with the slow service I just didn’t have the energy to send it back. Overall it was just fine.

The contact us in their website doesn’t even work!!!!
I would Like a refund.
I had probably the worst service I’ve ever had in a dining experience today at 1 o’clock for a five people party.
When I arrived, nobody greeted me and nobody asked for reservations, which fine we finally went up to the bar and ask where they would like us to sit, it took them an hour and a half to get our food. And this place was COMPLETELY empty. I got the prosciutto flatbread and it had one piece of cut up, Prosciutto on it seemed such bad quality. And then when the server finally delivered the food, she asked if there’s anything that she could grab for us I asked for ranch and another girl asked for ketchup, and she couldn’t even bring that to us. Again, the restaurant was completely empty Our reservation was at 1 and as I’m sure you can see the food was delivered at 2:30? Very frustrating experience and I would definitely like to be refunded. Would NOOOOOOOT recommend for any reason

I took my mom and family here for her birthday dinner, and we had the pleasure of being served by Ally. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. To put it in perspective, we were a group of 16 with a few people unfortunately arriving late, but Ally handled it all with patience and grace. She explained menu items clearly, accommodated dietary needs, and consistently checked in to make sure we were taken care of. She even offered to take photos of us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Her exceptional service truly made my mom’s birthday special. I really hope she gets a raise because she deserves it!

The food was okay, but Ally’s service truly elevated our experience. At one point, I went to the bar to ask if one of the bartenders could get Ally for us. One bartender ignored me completely. I understand the bar was busy and that she wasn’t our server, but another bartender came over and kindly tried to help. He explained he didn’t speak English and asked the other bartender to assist me. Despite not serving anyone at the time, she continued to ignore me. I ended up waiting by the bar until Ally returned and helped us right away.

We, unlike others, had a great experience here. We had dinner on a Sunday night in December. Great service, great food. I had the shrimp cocktail and prosciutto wrapped broccolini which was so good. Beautiful atmosphere and the Christmas decorations were so fun! The waiter even gave us an additional Christmas cocktail- for free! It was quiet enough to talk. On a Friday or Saturday it’s much louder and they have music. Parking is in the ramp right across the street-very convenient.

I visited Umbra during Restaurant Week lunch ($25 for a 3-course prix fixe) and had a good overall experience, especially since I was catching up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while. The vibe was relaxed and it was nice having a reservation during the lunch rush.

For my appetizer, I had the black garlic Caesar, and it was actually delicious — super flavorful and far better than the usual bland Caesar salad I expected. I really enjoyed it.

For the entrée, I ordered the Fettuccine Puttanesca. It was decent, but nothing surprising — the sauce tasted like a standard tomato-based pasta, and it felt overly oily by the end. There was a visible layer of oil sitting at the bottom of the dish, which made it feel heavier than it needed to be. My friend had the crab melt, which she seemed to enjoy more than I did with mine.

Dessert was the apple galette with ice cream. The ice cream itself was good, but the galette crust was tough and dry. I was hoping it would be warm and flaky, but it felt like it had been pre-made and served cold, which took away from the experience.

Umbra is connected to the Canopy by Hilton hotel, which is a beautiful space. While the food wasn’t outstanding, it was good enough — and honestly, for a hotel-attached restaurant, that’s about what I expected. If I were visiting Minnesota, I might consider staying at Canopy just because you have Umbra and Chloe by Vincent right there — two solid options on-site.

Overall: great service, nice space, and a few highlights, but the food didn’t totally wow me. Still worth checking out for Restaurant Week or a convenient hotel lunch spot.

Sweet Keys dueling pianos and a sweet dinner! I had the sweet corn (scratch made) gnocchi and my husband had the duck breast which was cooked to his preferred medium. We ended with the lemon blueberry “tiramisu” dessert in the dining room before moving closer to the live music. Had a blast with the pianists and the others there enjoying a Friday night before the Vikings game.
