Axel's River Grille - Chanhassen

Janet, our waitress was excellent. Had walleye fingers, pop-overs, wedge salad and cream of chicken soup. Great food, except the soup was WAY too salty. New owners put big screen tv's in the dining room of a classic supper club. Great way to take the atmosphere from what was 5 star down to 3 star. TV's in the bar area is acceptable, but do not belong in the dining room. Service: Dine in

Apparently Axels was sold recently and will be changing their name. This has always been one of our favorite restaurants, but we were there last night, and they are no longer honoring gift cards at this location. We were told we could go to Mendota Heights to use it. That is not acceptable. Also, they were out of potatoes so couldn't get a baked potato; or humus. That was unusual. Lunds Byerly's is down the street. That is the first time I have been disappointed in all the years we have dined there. Still got popovers though, which was nice.
