This may not be feasible for some groups or people that are dining together that you don't know that well because you could get stuck with the bill! It was fine for us because we were only family. We had an $800 minimum so you add taxes/gratuity and the service fee and you're well over a grand. He told me they would only do everything on one check/one card for payment. Disclaimer: (I did not ask this time because I never can get an explanation about the "service charge on top of a gratuity that makes sense). I'd rather you just raise your prices by a little than to add fees that no one can ever explain. I don't know what this is for, nor do I like it). There is a 20% gratuity charge added to the bill and a 5% service fee (This service fee is a new thing since covid. The contract has a minimum food/beverage that must be met not including incidentals. They require a contract for group dining with over 10 people. She ran the whole room fabulously! Kudos to you Jess, my family loved you!Ī few things about the service, groups and Travis the manager. Jess was our waitress and she did our room ALL BY HERSELF! I am convinced now that this 2-3 people to handle a group is poor training. :)Īshley the hostess at check-in was absolutely a doll! She was very helpful and got a great vibe from her right off the bat. I will elaborate on something that he did towards the end of my review that should be watched for by all restaurants booking groups. Travis ended up booking the room the next day and he gave me all the information that I needed and appreciated upfront. Luckily, we were dining around 1:30 so it worked with their rush. I needed the room which is what I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! Restaurants are busy and weekends for groups can be difficult without notice in advance. I called and talked to Aaron the manager a few days before. This is the first time that I booked their room for my husband's birthday party with about 20-25 people. So I will start by saying that I have been here many many times. Thus, Pittsburgh Blue/Manny’s Junior, may be the only decent choice. There isn’t much choice for independent dining. Maple Grove is the king of strip malls and chains. My wife wanted desserts to go, and the pecan pie was good. I almost keeled over and my head aches today from that sodium overload. When returned, that prime rib had more salt than the Dead Sea. Annoyed, I sent my prime rib back until I was finished with my salad. In the middle of my enjoyment of the salad, here came our entrees. The wedges were large with chunks of blue cheese. I had a weak cocktail and my wife ordered a decent Chardonnay. Gentlemen, all of a certain age, stand behind the bar to serve you. With a typical steakhouse decor, Pittsburgh Blue or Manny’s Junior greets you with televisions, a dark bar, and checkered tablecloths. However, Pittsburgh Blue may be your only real dining option in Maple Grove, so those two stars are flexible. Years ago, I thought Manny’s went downhill. Pittsburgh Blue is Manny’s in sheep’s clothing. Pittsburgh Blue, owned by the Parasole Restaurant Group of Edina, is a cousin of downtown’s Manny’s, a venerable steakhouse pretending to be an independent stalwart of the Minneapolis. I’m swelled up like a Macy’s Parade balloon. The salt is killing me even the next day.
