点评:I knew we were in trouble when the woman at the front stoically told us we were sitting upstairs and led our group of four to the elevator. As I bid the boisterous main floor goodbye, I realized we were headed to dining purgatory, where Sanjusan sat the overflow diners. My prescience was validated, because the elevator opened up to a funereal space on the fourth floor that could depress a Prozac addict. Two large groups, with at least ten people each, were eating on the fourth floor, a space designed for private parties. Even the large groups were subdued, the room too oppressive for fun. When I asked to be shifted downstairs, the maitre d’ said, “If you want to wait more than an hour.” So much for having a reservation. Do not dine upstairs at Sanjusan. I repeat, run out of the restaurant with the speed of light if they try to seat you upstairs.
Our servers, overworked because the kitchen was four floors below, took on the personality of the room. We could hardly hear them, if they spoke. They were ecclesiastical in affect, perfect in a monastery, but perhaps not in a restaurant. The woman serving us drinks acted like the living dead, and if you’re a fan of zombies, may find her provocative. We just found her scary. Food was okay, not particularly memorable, and very expensive. I did enjoy the Arancini and the Gyoza, but our two pastas and the Yakitori were very bland. Drinks were okay, sounding better than they tasted. Service was very slow. It took over an hour past our reservation to get our cocktails, and the appetizers arrived 30 minutes after that. There were long waits between dishes, and the pacing was horrific. By the way, Sanjusan was our most expensive meal during our trip to Minneapolis.

我们的服务员因为厨房在四层以下而过度劳累,呈现出房间的个性。如果他们说话,我们几乎听不见他们的声音。他们在影响上是教会的,在修道院里是完美的,但在餐馆里可能不是。为我们端酒的女人表现得像个活死人,如果你是僵尸迷,可能会觉得她很挑衅。我们只是觉得她很可怕。食物还可以,不是特别令人难忘,而且非常昂贵。我确实喜欢 Arancini 和饺子,但我们的两种意大利面和烤鸡肉串非常平淡。饮料还可以,听起来比尝起来好。服务很慢。我们花了一个多小时才拿到我们的鸡尾酒,开胃菜在 30 分钟后到达。两道菜之间的等待时间很长,节奏也很糟糕。顺便说一句,三十三散是我们明尼阿波利斯之行中最昂贵的一餐。
