    Great steakhouse in the West End. Prices are low end of typical steakhouse prices but worth it. Flavor wise their chimichurri was phenomenal, better than Porzana's. The ribeye was perfectly prepared and delicious with or without the chimichurri. The asparagus was delicious as well, perfectly prepared and deliciously seasoned. Our server, Jada, was wonderful. Attentive but not overbearing.

    801 is a must when I visit Minneapolis. The food and service are always top notch. And Patrick did an excellent job navigating a unique situation. Two in our party were very delayed. I ordered for them, and our meals arrived soon after the rest of our party. The service was very efficient without feeling rushed. Another great experience.

    This was our first time at this restaurant, which was suggested by our adult son to celebrate his birthday. It was outstanding! The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. Our server make excellent alternative suggestions to help with a food sensitivity. It was not inexpensive - we did the course menu experience & added 2 bottles of flavored sake - but worth it for the celebratory experience. I would definitely recommend and would be happy to stop in & sit at the bar and enjoy just the Beef Sukiyaki Bibimbap! It was a favorite of everyone at the table.

    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
