There are many really cool music artifacts throughout the restaurant.  Above are outfits worn by Minneapolis’ own Prince, or Prince Roger Nelson, as he was known to those who grew up with him.  His influence can be seen in many parts of the restaurant.  Another local boy made good, is Bob Dylan.  There are some handwritten lyrics by Dylan in one of the booths dedicated to him.

There are many Beatles and Rolling Stones artifacts, along with many other artists.  Take your time walking around the place to take a look.  Even though you’ll be looking over someones shoulder as they eat, most will understand what you’re doing.  As you make your way to the restrooms, you’ll notice Paula Abdul’s dress from her video “Cold Hearted Snake”.

The food is decent, with many options.  They also have several signature drinks.  They are a little pricey, but tasty non the less.  The Nachos was nice to split while people watching.  We sat out on the patio which extends into Nickelodeon Universe.   This is a good option if you have kids and want to keep them entertained.  Otherwise, you can sit inside where there is often live entertainment.

Most of the food is on the heavy side, but the have a lighter fare as well.  The salads are large enough to be a complete meal.
