Cheapism: Of course you are going to try the “Real Deal” fish & chips ($8.75), they're the best in town. Friendly and comfortable, they also serve classics like Shephards Pie ($8.50). Read more.
Amy Keast: Go with a friend, get veggie burger and fish and chips to split. You've got to have both!
Chris Italiano: Awesome fish and chips, delicious cole slaw, amazing burgers, and great beers. And their specials are always good, too.

Bret Zimmerman: stopped there twice on Sunday during my bike rides. Beer, fresh fish, outside seating, in a park! what else could you need? GO!
Josh Thacker: Fresh fish, live bluegrass (with a saw player!), and all my fellow progressive neighbors. A South Minneapolis gem! Staff is also killer.

Dustin Casebolt: The cod is a must!!!! Also the chicken thighs for an appetizer but you must like spicy!
Jenna Bennett: Try the softly scrambled eggs with asparagus and salmon?
Cole Kennedy: Off the "In Between" menu, I highly recommend the Fish Taco Torta. It can be a bit messy to eat, but oh man is it good. If you're there for dinner, try and sit at the kitchen bar.

Lisa Grimm: One of my favorite restaurants in Mpls. Parmesan Shrimp = amazing, as is Filet Sandwich, Ciao Baby w/ chicken or salmon or Lo Carb Chopped Salad. Yum on pretty much anything you order.
Jason Douglas: Make sure to get the Lamb Meatballs and the Ahi Tuna Crisps to start. Best Ahi Tuna I have ever tasted! ALso, the home made lasagna is the best I have ever had. Zelo is among my top 5 now!
Anna: Ezra, the restaurant manager, is the best. Service is incredible, happy hour is legit (Moscow mules), and their tuna crisps are to die for.

Jill N.: Foodies will appreciate the exceptional dishes,notable wine list and even my fav apps: mini burgers w fries & hollandaise or healthier option: ahi tuna w apple coleslaw. 5stars Scallops wrapped bacon
Melea S.: They sell wine by the taste, glass, carafe , and bottle. Service was great. Food, spectacular. The tuna tartare, organic salmon, and dessert were excellent.
City Pages: The restaurant serves artisanal American bistro fare such as a lush salmon tartare with black mustard seeds. The wine list starts below $20, covers the globe, and is available at the bar. Read more.
Liz Moe: Smokehouse Porter with the smoked trout wrap and garlic fries is the way to go.
Kari K.: Trout and Spinach salad is loaded with fish and bacon, delish!
Nate Folkert: smokehouse platter: smoked trout, salmon, and whitefish dip, with smoked monterey jack, swiss, cheddar, and gouda cheeses
Eater: Run by brothers Chris and Andrew Ikeda, this new Uptown spot features American food with Asian influences. Think: lobster tostadas and misoyaki salmon. Plus, brunch.
Megan Hollenkamp: excellent lunch menu - from burgers to salmon quinoa salad. our bartender also made a killer pineapple curry concoction.
Lorena W.: I was definitely impressed! Great service and food! My friends and I shared the corn nuts and fried mushrooms and they both were excellent! I ordered the salmon quinoa and it was flavorful & filling.
