   Wonderful food & pleasant unrushed atmosphere. Outstanding waiter with helpful suggestions. Incredible brussel sprouts & burrata salad appetizers. The kitchen split the burrata salad for us to share without a special request! Lake Superior whitefish entree was delicious, especially the mashed potatoes (creamy & flavorful).The warm chocolate lava cake was a perfect ending! We had a nice steady pace to our meal.

   I give a 4 on Value in all my reviews these days because eating out is just too expensive. But I love Prarie Grass.

   We love the people, food and service. Prairie Grass is our favorite place for lunch and dinner. We always feel welcome when we make reservations and when we arrive. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The staff is great, from reception to the table. Thanks for making this such a wonderful experience.

   They are known for their hamburger and it did not disappoint! So wonderful and unusual (without the bun, but can request one). Our server was helpful, gave us space for us to have quiet time with each other, but checked in when appropriate. Wonderful cocktails, appetizers and our carrot cake, which was delicious and the right amount for us to share. Looking forward to come again and bring more friends to enjoy this jewel.

   Really nice restaurant with great food. We had a fabulous dinner. Matzo ball soup, pasta, wild rice mushroom veggie burger, brussels sprouts, ice cream and turtles. Dinner was delicious, the dining room is always bustling and energetic. We had a good time. Some of the servers were alright, but others were not responsive. Overall great experience in a good neighborhood with ample parking.

   We’ve always had good food and service here, but this meal was an exception. We were seated in a booth and everything went fine up until our food was delivered. Our server never returned to our table to ask about our meals, if we wanted another drink, or to offer us dessert. The best service was from the gentleman who kept our table bussed, and refilled waters and soda. He is excellent. We eventually had to ask him for our check and then the hostess brought it over.

   Prairie Grass never disappoints. The food is top-notch and the service is attentive without being smothering. I hate noisy restaurants, and at Prairie Grass you can carry on a conversation at your table no matter how crowded the restaurant is.

   Food and service were excellent. Just didn't seem to "WOW". Good cocktails. The chocolate "muk muk" cake was outstanding. Flounder as the fish in fish n' chips was an interesting choice, but it came out a little dry. Steaks were done per level of instructions.
