Wow! I will continue to go back to Temple. After reading some of these reviews, it seems that there are a few bitter people out there...which seems to be standard for new restaurants. I noticed some people were stating, "This isn't NYC, this isn't LA..." You're right. This is Minneapolis. I think it's incredible that Minneapolis is stepping up to the plate and daring to be different in bringing a truly upscale yet comfortable establishment to downtown. Temple not only provides amazing food (which I have enjoyed each visit), it provides a hot atmosphere that allows you to escape from all the other "norm" etablishements out there! Are we not good enough to have a place like Temple? Come on people, Minneapolis isn't full of bohemians. I'm relieved that there is a restaurant like Temple. I no longer have to fly to NYC/LA/Chi anymore just to go to a fine dining restaurant. Embrace what's different. Change is good, folks. And if you don't want to spend $12 on drinks for your group, than I would highly suggest Applebee's.
Pros: Valet was free, the mussels, steak, staff
Cons: It doesn't serve lunch
