    Really just such a welcoming space. That’s the first thing you notice. From the host to the servers the staff is incredible. And then you get to eat. You really find some of the most thoughtful and layered flavors in these dishes. They really know make local produce shine, the portion sizes are perfect, not so much that you leave feeling too full but enough to tase and appreciate the food without being too much. I hope you get a chance to eat here, you won’t be disappointed!

    Twin City Grill’s soups are amazing. The Wild Rice Corn Chowder is my favorite and my wife’s Baked French Onion is to die for. My favorite meal is their wonderful Waleye, but today I had the lunch special of the day- Chicken Tonga Tacos- just delicious. The service is always excellent and the ambiance is wonderful. Best restaurant at The Mall Of America!
