“Flawless”

Once again I have celebrated my birthday at this wonderful restaurant. They print your name at the top of the menu which is a classy touch. The service was very attentive without being at all stuffy. The food was wonderful. We each had a crab cake which is extraordinarily good. I had swordfish in an asian sauce that was coated with toasted sesame seeds. Very moist and delicious. The ahi was also prepared asian style very rare was tremendous. We also had tempura brocolli out of this world. The meal comes with delicious bread and a herring/vegetable tray that is great. For my birthday there was an amazing baked Alaska served flaming. It had rasberry truffles inside the vanilla ice cream which was complimentary. I almost don't mind turning a year older to go here for dinner!

Top food, top service, too bad they're associated with the Parasole group.

“Best Crabcakes this side of Boston”

Hands down the finest seafood restaurant in the MN, where it all started! First of all, Steve Uhl, the GM runs a friendly,upbeat, establishment and consistency is the rule. He oversees the product and the staff as if he owns the joint. Rick Kimmes works his culinary magic with the specials or really how fresh seafood is best prepared: simplistic, meaning he doesn't let his ego get in the way of how most seafood should be eaten. Standouts, too many to list yet the T-bone Halibut taken black and blue is to die for, order the Artic Char and you are in for a unique culinary experience, fresh trout stuff with shrimp, I mean the hits just keep on coming...but give it up for aqautic nirvana: the crab cakes.
All in all, favorite eating place in the Twin Cities.
