For a special lunch we decided to take our out-of-town guest to the IDS Crystal Court on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was empty when one other table left after our 12:15 arrival. We did get a patio seat overlooking the Crystal Court and it was a quiet relaxing spot.
The food, though, was lackluster. Large portions, yes, but low on taste. I had the salmon patty sandwich and it was served on a huge bun, with stone hard tomatoes and a pile of fries that were tough within minutes. We also ordered the walleye - grease, grease, grease and the chicken salad croissant sandwich, the best of the food. Other than the location, nothing was special about this meal other than the heap of food left on our plate when we were done picking through the very average fare.
Pros: large servings, great location
Cons: , average service
