We have celebrated so many life events and just regular going out for a meal times. This food is incredible! We know we will be getting quality yummy food, that not many people know how to make so, let's go somewhere they do know how to make it! It's close to a recording studio I do a lot of work at too. It is a gathering place for after a recording session. On this day, I was celebrating my niece's belated Birthday. We loved it. This was one of her dad's favorite places to eat. John passed away one year ago. Thank you Christos!!!

Some of the best seafood and lobster rolls you can get in Minnesota. The atmosphere is very nice while still not over the top fancy, which is quite nice for a casual dinner with a large group of family or friends. Highly recommend.

We had the walleye and pallela. Both were very good. Last time we were here we ordered calamari and it was terrible. We skipped appetizers and had a good meal and good service.

First time here and We are already looking forward going back. Celebrated our anniversary. We got the bone in rib-eye and the filet. Thicket asparagus I’ve ever had paired with amazing hollandaise sauce. Allen was our waiter. 10/10 made us feel great on a special night. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere and drinks. The beet salad was amazing and our server Nate was very attentive. The lobster ravioli was good but in hindsight I think the Miso sea bass would have been better.

We enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. While sitting in a booth in the bar area was a little loud at first, as the happy hour crowd left, the noise level was just fine, and we enjoyed being in the center of a well run friendly restaurant.

We chose to spend our anniversary dinner at Fogo once more. The food was delicious, as usual! The dining area is very clean and well kept - very nice dining experience. Also, as usual, our server didn't bring our check in a reasonable amount of time. 20 minutes after declining dessert and setting our dishes aside to be bussed there was still no sign of our bill, despite me placing our credit card on the table in clear view. My wife ended up asking a couple servers who were assigned to other tables for our check. Not sure if he thought we were going to tip lightly because we passed on the special appetizers and bottle service?? This happened last time we went to Fogo but we had waited even longer. The restaurant was not very busy compared to usual. What is the deal with the dismal state of the bathrooms? No hot or warm water at the taps and very messy. Frankly the inattentive service at the end of the meal repeating itself is causing me to question whether we will go back. Seems intentional and disrespectful... time will tell, I guess.

We had a good dinner and there was something for everyone at the table. When one of the recommended dishes was not as expected they corrected it without asking. We will come back again.
