Editorial Review for 20.21 – by Donna Tabbert Long

In Short
Modern art meets five-star cuisine within this casually elegant space on the second level of the Walker Art Center's recent expansion. A wall of windows offers skyline views of Minneapolis to diners while the minimalist black-and-white decor sets off Puck's striking culinary creations. An upscale, well-dressed crowd feasts mannerly on everything from pot stickers to house-smoked salmon and grilled steak, before heading off to view the renowned contemporary museum's galleries.

I have eaten here several times, for both romantic occasions with my wife and business meals. They always exceed my expectations. Fantastic food and service that is the best in the twin cities. I have eaten almost every entree on the menu although it does change and my favorite (Miso Sake Butterfish) is now some other type of fish. With the ButterFish it is quite possibly one of my favorite all time meals. So if you see it, get it. This is one of the only restaurants that I have ever tipped the waiters 30% because I felt like we had our own personal server even though he had a couple other tables. The chefs in town could learn a lot from Wolfgang on how to run a restaurant. This restaurant is in my top 2 in town, right there with 112. The desserts are also to die for so make sure you leave room. I have tried them all but my favorite is the tres leches, which is always the first dessert I try at a restaurant if they have it. Theirs may be my favorite in the world.

Pros: Food, Ambience, Service, Tres Leches, ButterFish

Cons: This place makes so many other Twin Cities fine dining restaurants look bad

Given the quality of the food we had, I would say this is about 50% overpriced ($150 for 2, before tip and with one beer). The steak tasted watery, potatoes gratin were missing their blue cheese flavor and creme brulee was average. Add to that a fried smell from the kitchen and I wasn't overly impressed; the view would also be much better if they took the time to keep the glass clean.

Pros: Quick service, reasonable menu selection, view

Cons: Quality of food, fried smell, over priced
