We have eaten at Mill Valley Kitchen several times before so when we were planning to meet with friends for lunch we suggested Mill Valley Kitchen. They also really enjoyed the food and the ambience. Our server was very good as well. We will return!

Our visit on Sunday, 10/20/24, was our first. We were really impressed with the menu selections and our appetizer - cauliflower - and the burger we shared - Lucy - were both very good. The best part of the night was the bartender/server we were assigned: Skylar. Skylar was prompt, provided fantastic drinks, and was at least as entertaining as the band we saw that night, Llorna Shore. If we purchase tickets to another show at The Fillmore, we will definitely return to Trax.

Pimento Kitchen in Minneapolis is a must-try! I had the chicken curry, and the spice level was just right—full of flavor with the perfect kick. Loved the reggae music playing in the next room, which created a great atmosphere. It was my first visit, thanks to a friend's recommendation, and it won’t be my last. If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food and great vibes, this is the spot! Highly recommend for anyone craving bold flavors and a fun dining experience. #PimentoKitchen #JamaicanFood #MinneapolisEats #AuthenticFlavors #ChickenCurry #ReggaeVibes #FoodieFinds
