I can't tell you about the food... 2/13/2005

we didn't get that far. A friend made a reservation for 4 for 2/12. She verified that they would take the Entertainment book and that they had fish that wasn't shellfish. She also asked for a table far from the bar. When we got there, the table was right next to the bar (which they grudgingly switched). Then they said, ""Here's tonight's special Valentine's menu. It is $125/couple."" No regular menu. Somehow, they had forgotten to mention this on the phone. We, like many others that evening, gave up and left because that wasn't what we had in mind. I might give them one more chance to see if the food is better than the service. more

anniversary dinner 9/20/2004

I and my wife had dinner for our anniversary. The waitress was very good in explaining the choices and our service was also very good. My wife was very pleased with her yellowfish tuna selction and we both enjoyed the salad with Calamari and greens. The dessert was very good. I should have ordered something different from the Loup de Mer which I had, which was like swordfish and chewy. If I come again, I would try the scallops and shrimp combination. Pros: good bread, good service, good desserts more

Great place to impress 6/30/2003

We were a little concerned about eating at a hotel restaurant until we tried it. Beautiful French decor and colors, polite and professional servers, simple menu, very elegant. Now in the summer, they have some great desserts. Recommend the tasting trees. Not usually crowded so walk-ins are always possible. We usually end up here at least once a month for a proper french style gourmet dinner. This is definitely where I would take my snobby in-laws if I don't want to go downtown and pay an arm and a leg. Other French rest. in the Twin Cities should follow their example. Pros: Parking, Suburban location, Food more

Be careful if they ask about water 12/10/2002

I asked for some water and the wait person asked me if I'd like a bottle for the table. I thought they meant a carafe for everyone, but was brought a bottle of Evian water and charged $9 for it. Otherwise, I had enjoyed the meal. I probably deserved it, but I didn't like feeling like they'd put one over on me when the bill came. Pros: interesting food, nice atmosphere more
