Avoid! – You should avoid this place at any peak times or during a convention. they can't handle crowds and the food is just not worth the wait. You can find better service and food elsewhere.
Trendy but bland – This place is trendy. Food is average and comparable to any other sports bar. Prices for food is comparable to Chammp's but there is nothing fancy about the menu. The place is very trendy with a industrial/deco type of decor. Drinks are about average price. Service is OK but I've had better at Olive Garden. The coolest thing about this place are the bathrooms, which are open and connected together by mirrors. Guys can see the girls and vice versa in the washing area. Kinda fun to see a woman unknowingly ad... read more
My News Favorite Place! – The News Room is my new favorite restaurant in the twin cities. Even though the restaurant has an overwhelming news paper theme, it really is second to their outstanding service and delicious food. I have eaten at the news room for their amazingly bargain priced happy hour in the expansive outdoor seating, for a quick and quality lunch break sandwich, and a 10:30PM (long after most of the downtown restaurants have folded up their kitchens) sumptuous regular menu salad. Basically when ever I have gon... read more
something different... – ...and it works!!! The amniance is innovative and they pull it off well. Three cheers!!! The last thing we need is another TGIFridays style decore, theres enough places doing that. The food is your standard burger, sandwich style choices but done to perfection. Not the typical "keep it bland so nobody is offended" sandwich so yes they (fear of fears in this state) may add a dash (a pinch of) SPICE!
remedial at best – What does it take to get a fresh sandwich around here? When limp tomatoes and wet rubbery lettuce begin to combine and form a completely different substance alltogether-that's bad news. On top of that our server was completely rude-why did I tip that ____? I mean, I couldn't get a refill to save my skin. No Go, if you ask me.
Can I Wrap This Up For You? – Visited this establishment on a Saturday around 5:30. Host seated our party of 6 and the server came over and said, "How long are you going to be here? We have a party at 8 that will need this table? Will you be done????" So, we move and she scolds the host in front of us! "He's new and doesn't know anything." This was the tip of the iceberg. Should have left. Order a chicken wrap sandwich, not a Lawry's Season Salt Wrap. Couldn't eat it and server asked 3 times if she could wrap it up. Everytim... read more
Style vs. substance – Mostly a place to be seen and to hang out for drinks after work or early on the weekend. Lots of look-at-me-drink, late-twenty-something, I love sushi bars too, account exec crowd. A glorified bar that serves decent food. I've been three times in last year or so with others, but I can't get into it. Maybe it's the crowd, maybe its the young and hip atmosphere that has become so banal in the upscale bar scene--I can't put my finger on it except to say I only go there with others who won't take no for an ... read more
Horrible – The newsroom is a place to go for drinks and drinks only- The food was terrible and it was too crowded- Less tables in there would make for more people to get in and stand. But I do not reccomend this as a dining place to anyone.
Hot bartenders, cold drinks – I have been here a few times now, and have always enjoyed myself. The pasta's are great. I strongly recomend the ravioli in vodka cream sauce. The mussels are the cream of the apps list. I have heard good things about the flat bread, but have not enjoyed it either time we tryed. The staff was kind and joked around with us. There are some hot guys behind the bar that makes the time to stay and have an after dinner drink worth it. The beer list is top notch, and the martini's are expencive, but ST... read more
