Best Authentic Restaurants in Champlin

We had reservations and were seated ~ 10 minutes after our reservation time. However, there were so many people waiting for tables it was uncomfortable. Too many people crowded into the entry, and it was so loud you couldn't have a conversation. There needs to be a little more crowd control while waiting to be seated.

As always, the food was amazing and the service was wonderful,

Food was great as always. We were seated next to a large group, which made it more difficult to converse throughout our meal. We had to ask our server for the margaritas we ordered, since they still hadn’t arrived by the time we got our food (which was very quick!). She returned to tell us that our drinks had been made and sent to another table, so I’m not sure what would have happened if I hadn’t asked about them. She didn’t check in on us at all throughout the meal, and I had to flag her down to ask for water refills while we waited for our drinks. To compensate us for the delay, she brought out a complimentary fried ice cream dessert for us to share, which we appreciated. Once we finished with our meal, we waited for about 30 minutes for our checks, with our server saying “I suppose you two want your checks, huh?” We paid promptly but realized that our cards had been swapped. Luckily our totals were within a dollar of each other, so we didn’t need to have it corrected. As we were leaving at 8:30, we discovered the restaurant closed at 8:00. Our server was just not in any rush and was inattentive to us. I’m not sure if she was just having a bad night, or was very new to the job, but if I had to base my experience just on this one visit, I wouldn’t be back. However, Rojo is one of my favorite restaurants, and will give this experience a pass.

6 of all had something different and all loved theirs! Shrimp scampi and dippers are 2 to not miss. Nice to be able to hear one another for once as much quieter than most places. Will be back!

Very electric atmosphere! My husband has hearing aids, he had difficulty hearing employees. We were in a corner, many of the options (meats) walked by us, were not brought to our table. What we were offered was good!!! Desert was expensive but really good!!!!
