If I could give this restaurant a negative rating I would. 7 of us went there for a friends birthday and it was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. The birthday girl ordered a martini and when they delivered it, there was a bug in the bottom of the glass. Next the waiter, who took forever to come back to our table, informed us that out of the 15 things on the menu (none of them matched the website menu) about 7 were actually avaiable they were out of everything else due to a big party the day before. When someone ordered a beer, they said they didn't have it because the tap ran out last night at this big Thursday night party. When we finally did order 3 people ordered steak, when the 4th person ordered steak he said he had to go check in the back because he wasn't sure how many steaks there were. He came back to let us know that there were only 3 - so steak was no longer on the menu. It took over an hour to get our food and when we got it, it was cold. The waiter never came back to check on us and we were so hungry we just ate it. Mashed potatoes were supposed to come with the meal but instead we got this wheat germ rice thing that was absolutely horrible. I think prisoners in Stillwater get better food than this. Finally, when the waiter did show up we told him the food was cold and we were pretty unhappy with the overall experience, he apologized and said he would comp one round of drinks and desert. The desert was actually good, but when we got the bill, the martini with the bug was still included. We refused to pay for that. But with all that the bill was still $150. For cold, horrible, food and service. We were so disappointed. When we finally left the restaurant about 10:00, I went to pick up my car from the valet and was told that he was done for the night and I had already paid for the service. It was 10:00. And they handed the keys to my car to my friend and I was nowhere around. She didn't have a ticket or anything. Who does that? So we finally left and went to Crave downtown and ordered food (because we were all still hungry) and it was so good. I wish we would have complained more and not paid for anything. With how horrible the food and service was we should have insisted that the meal was free. We tell all of our friends about this horrible experience and will never ever go back to this restaurant again. There are way too many awesome restaurants in Mpls to waste our time and money here.
