   I hate to leave a somewhat negative review because we’ve enjoyed Axel’s over the years, but it just isn’t nearly as good as it was in years past. The prices are dramatically higher, which I would not mind if the food and service were still good. Unfortunately, they seem to have slipped a lot. Our server was friendly but slow. May have been due to understaffing but we couldn’t tell. The popovers, which used to be a highlight, were hard, dry, and cold, in other words: old. My French dip was sopping wet on the bottom bun. Not appealing. If the kitchen had just let the meat drain for a sec before laying it on the sandwich, it would have been good. This quality slippage has been going on for a while. I hope they can turn it around.

   We started dining on the patio but asked to be moved as we were in direct, blazing hot sun… not as pleasant as we’d hoped for. Axels should install a screen on the west side of the patio to deflect the sun and then it would be a beautiful dining area. Our waitress moved us inside and we finished our night out. Overall the food and atmosphere was very good and we’d return

   We had a great meal for a group of 9 people and this was an excellent choice. Wonderful service where we weren't interrupted too often. Great options on the menu, the food was great and the costs very reasonable Setting was beautiful, chairs were comfortable. We'll be back.

   Excellent dining experience. The app, salad and pop overs were a great start. The entree was outstanding too. My sirloin was to have been medium/rare but was more toward the medium side. Regardless, the texture and flavor were well worth the price.

   I was disappointed that my beet salad had what tasted like canned beets. I expected roasted beets at an upscale restaurant. My husband though really enjoyed the seafood dish. service was just okay, we had to hunt our server down 3 times....

    Our cocktails (Mojito and Long Island Iced Tea) were excellent! We shared the Coconut Shrimp, Bull Bites and Walleye Fingers appetizer for our main course. It was scrumptious and there was plenty of food- we even brought some home! Our Server was OUTSTANDING- couldn't have asked for friendlier, more attentive service! The Manager, Danny, stopped by to make sure I liked the wine, and that we were enjoying ourselves. We had a wonderful experience! Axel's never disappoints!

    This was our son’s choice of location for his law school graduation celebration. We enjoyed every moment of our time there and the staff went out of their way to recognize his achievement and help us celebrate. We couldn’t have been happier with any aspect of our experience. We will most definitely be back!

    Christian our server was fantastic! His attention to detail was spot on, and he made us feel as if we were the only ones in the restaurant , which was far from the case. We started with belevedere martinis that were shaken to perfection. We both enjoyed the supper club ribeyes. The steaks were juicy and tender and done just as asked. Axels famous green beans did not disappoint- crisp and flavorful. We got dessert to go, and the flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce was decadent. We will be back!

    Stopped in for a light meal. Settled on deviled eggs and a burger. Thoroughly delicious. Next time it will be the steak bites. They could be meal unto themselves. Sadly, no Cajun chicken on Tuesdays.

    Axel's is our "go-to" restaurant for special occasions and for no special reason at all. From the moment we are greeted until the moment we leave (which usually spans 2+ hours :) we are treated as special guests. The staff and the food and the ambience keep us going back year after year. This particular evening was our 24th anniversary. I ordered the Norwegian Salmon dinner for the first time. My husband ordered the filet!! Oh my, both soooooo delicious. Perfectly done, as were the sides. And then we were treated to dessert - a beautiful finale to a spectacular evening. Thank you Axel's for making our evening special. And thank you, Roxanne, for taking such good care of us. See you all next time.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Axel's in Mendota. While many new restaurants seek to recreate the old school "supper club" experience, Axel's really is an old school supper club, if a bit more upscale than some. We all ordered steak. All of our steaks were well and properly prepared. The same was true of the sides, salads, appetizer (we especially enjoyed the onion rings), and dessert we ordered. The meal was very well paced, with an appropriate amount of time between courses. Our server was cordial and attentive. Having recently eaten at one of The Palms locations, I can say that the food we had at Axel's was every bit as good, and the overall experience better, all at half the cost. We recommend it.

    Food and service were good. We were seated at a table in a passage way, right next to another table. Very dark. There are two lovely dining rooms with windows, would have liked to had a table there. Kind of made for a poor experience.
