Riley worked hard rushing from table to table. The issue was the kitchen/food. We arrived at 540 for a 545 reservation snd opted to wait a few minutes more for the booth requested on the reservation. We were seated by 550, and our food arrived at 641. Great, let's cram it in our mouths because we have a concert at 730. Not only was the kitchen slooow and likely overtasked, my chicken oscar with mashed potatos came out in a puddle of opaque light brown liquid with a broth consistency. Since it took so damn long to get my food, I pushed the chicken and potatos away from the puddle and ate around it. No puddle on my wifes same meal/plate across from me. It was extremely unappetizing and ruined the experience of going to dinner and paying someone lots of money to cook a meal for you. My wife and I talked about this afterward. We keep giving Minerva's more chances, but they really are bad compared to Maribella's or Chef Lance. Im done with Minerva's. Every time we come here its bad food, bad service, or both. Read my post history Minervas.

Arrived about 10 minutes early for reservation got right in.. the market bar was phenomenal.. They didn’t have entrées .. but again the market bar was really good. we did choose a dessert each, and that was exceptional.. We did order decaf coffee and that was not available. They did not have any ready-made. Other than that, everything was very good.. no issues . I’m sure we will go back again .

Overall a very nice evening.The water lady was curt and waiter made up for her short comings. The food was great bar service was amazing. We were sat at the first table by entrance so zero abundance and noise and temperature were issues. Suggest moving this table father back in restaurant.
