We have been to Hells Kitchen before, but we went this time for their Hell A Dazzle and it was amazing. I hope they do this every year because now that we know about it we will be back next year in December. The holiday decorations were so cute, the Christmas drinks were delicious and the food as always was amazing. The service has always been superb. Five stars for sure. If you’re looking for a festive meal with great festive ambience this is your place.

Highly recommend Hazelwood! We went with other couples and we all agreed we probably had the best steaks/food we’ve had in a long time! Loved the cozy, Christmas atmosphere, and all of the staff were very efficient & friendly! Crab cakes and green beans were amazing appetizers!! We are from NW Iowa, but we will definitely come back to Hazelwood at our next visit to Mpls!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, from the jump it was a vibe! The atmosphere, the music, the service, and the setting was great. That continued through out the night with the best waiter Chris, gave us the best opinion and service. The food was unexplainably good, overall experience was a 10000/10!!
