Server and other staff were friendly and courteous. For our party of four, Iron Range Porchetta sandwich and Good Citizen burgers were tasty; but, Citizen Club sandwich was just OK (although the roasted turkey was good). Cheers to good cocktails & wine.

Outstanding in every way! I used to frequent Nicollet Island back in the 80's and 90's until I relocated. I was in town for a visit and decided to have dinner there. It was as excellent as ever! I was so happy to see they had maintained their exceptional performace! I wish they would bring back their delicious breakfasts, but I understand that the labor shortage has made it difficult.

The staff was wonderful…… very accommodating and helped with explanations of several items on the menu. The food was delicious! As the restaurant became busier the noise level increased which made it a little difficult to hear those who were at our table.

The staff was great & the food & drinks were fantastic. The only negative is that they were out of pineapple juice, so 3 of us had to change our beverage orders (we survived).
