Go there for the Jucy Lucy's! Two thin patties stuffed with American cheese fried on a never-been-washed flattop grill. Your choice of grilled or raw onions, no other veggies (lettuce tomatoes etc) available. What can be simpler? Wait staff is friendly, but don't forget, you're in a neighborhood bar so don't give 'em any guff and you won't git none. It's hard to get more Minneapolis than this!
Pros: dive bar awesomeness
Cons: gets very busy

I was online searching for new restaurants to go to and Hell's Kitchen came up here. It was seriously amazing. I've seen a few bad reviews about service so I was a little leary about that, but I honestly dont know what any of those people were talking about. Our server was smiley and upbeat, and happily answered all of our annoying questions! We made reservations for a Friday night (which was a great idea because they were pretty busy), our food came out in 15 minutes piping hot which was delivered by one of their food runners who greeted us with a big smile and made sure we had everything that we needed. Food was more than we anticipated, service was great, atmosphere was unique and fun, prices were definitely reasonable. I will definitely be back, and I would highly recommend it.
Pros: pretty much everything
Cons: they spoiled me

Alright, I just reviewed the reviews for 112 Eatery and urge everyone out there to ignore the bad reviews. I've eaten at 112 for years and having just moved to Chicago a little less than a year ago am arriving in town soon and the first thing that I am going to do is take the train from the airport, rush to 112, and promptly order a glass of wine and some steak tartare.
Allow me to point out a couple of points to the disgruntled: 1) You cannot complain about the food, no way, no how. This is the place that chefs, cook, and servers eat when they get off their shifts. 2) Get over your suburban, entitled attitude that the server is their to entertain you. They are certainly not. They are there to quickly and efficiently serve you food and drink. 3) It is not, I repeat, not normal to expect something free on your birthday. 4) No you cannot get a reservation at 7. It clogs up that table for the restaurant because they could have seated it at 6 and again at 8 instead of having you roll in at 7, a perfectly normal dinner hour if your staying in.
Go to 112. Go to 112. Go to 112.
Pros: steak tartare, variety of price points, ambience
Cons: hard to get a reservation

Went there for my birthday with my wife and another couple. We booked early so we could catch the PHilharmonic afterward. Service was polite and prompt. Our server was very knowledgable about the food and the wine and one of the chefs Warren, I think his name was, came and asked about our meal and we asked for suggestions for dessert and wine and he was spot on with his suggestions. We will definaitely celebrate here again. We also had a pleasant time and our food was timely enough for us to get to our other appointment with time to spare. A great start to a great evening, definitely worth the price.

I had breakfast the other day at FireLake for the first time. I can't understand why it was so slow. What a hidden gem. I tried the Asparagus Bruschetta Benedict, it was fantastic. My fiancee had the stuffed french toast. The canadian bacon, they call it something else, was the best I have ever had. The service was terrific. Tyrone treated us like a guest in his home. I loved the open kitchen to watch the Chef's work.
It was a great experience and we will be back soon with friends.
Pros: Service, Food, Hidden Gem
Cons: They don't validate parking

I was told about this place by my hairstylists (Boji Hairstudio, they're the best, also NE:) and have
been here 3 or 4 times. Okay, it's a perfect late after noon, early evening spot. I've always had great
service and the food is 99% bullet-proof. NO restaurant get every dish perfect every time, but overall
the food is scrumptious and reasonably priced. This whole area is very cool and friendly.
Pros: Tasty/Friendly
Cons: slightly overpriced but worth it

My husband and I recently ate at Cafe Lurcat to celebrate an anniversary. It was a fabulous dining experience. The restaurant has an upscale, elegant, even romantic, atmosphere. Dining at Cafe Lurcat was a surprise for me, so I didn't have any expectations as we entered. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The wait staff was outstanding and we both loved the food. It is expensive--but I had such a great night that I would love to eat there again for a special occasion.

I have been to Jax to celebrate some special life events and anniversaries and they have never let me down. Service is always wonderful, it is always perfectly clean and elegant. When I walk in I love seeing some "old timers" having a drink at the bar. From my first time to my last they have always been patient and understanding no matter how picky I was. A wonderful place to sit and really ENJOY a meal. The food is wonderful and I want to know how to have my food come out that good in my kitchen. I love that I have been treated with the same respect if I walked in looking my best or when I had only 5 min to get ready for my date.
Pros: Wonderful Food, Service that never misses a beat
Cons: none so far
