    This is not your regular hospital cafeteria, it's fancy. It has upscale cafe vibes. They have kiosks where you can order and pay, but there's also someone there to help you place your order as well. The food took a while to come out but the mahi mahi tacos I got were good. Entrees were well priced.

    It's bright & welcoming & friendly staff . They do have healthy choices on menu, not a lot of all around food options tho. It's the best place to eat if your waiting for someone having a procedure done & you're not familiar with the area & not interested in leaving the building

    A double smash burger, and a good size side salad with balsamic vinaigrette. The breakfast omelette and fruit bowl also are fantastic along with the breakfast sandwich! And, I will absolutely, positively swear that this food is just as good as some of the best restaurants if not better. They didn't overdo it, and they didn't overthank it. And, as you can see by the amount of reviews I give, I don't review bad locations. This is a pleasant, very pleasant surprise. Prices are more than reasonable. Personnel, respectful, facility, extremely clean, hospital clean as they say.

    Their food isn’t too bad, it’s definitely better considering it’s hospital food!

    There is a reason the Mayo Clinic is ranked #1 in the nation. Combine world class care with Minnesota hospitality and you get the only organization that I've given 5 stars to. Mind you, no organization is perfect and this one isn't as well. But, If you ever need them they will be there for you. I took some pictures of the flowers in one of the outdoor rest areas. Enjoy and good health to you.
