We got back yesterday from another Minneapolis trip and of course worked in our customary multiple visits to Psycho Suzi's.
Not really much to report that's different from my previous notes. Things are still going strong.

We were able to hit upstairs on both Friday and Saturday night. Remembering how crowded it was during our previous visits, we arrived shortly after opening - before 5:30 - both nights. This time we were surprised that upstairs wasn't as packed as we expected; we remembered being lucky to snag a table in the past but it was wide open that early both nights this time. The crowd did pick up later, but walking around we realized that downstairs and especially the patio were busier than upstairs.

Exotik-a-GoGo still create a great, relaxing atmosphere. It's so cool that there's a place like this - with an actual live exotica band playing twice a week in the middle of a bamboo-covered restaurant serving up good cocktails! We picked up their newest CD.

We went back again on Monday for a full downstairs visit. We sat in the bar area again and all was good. I was more impressed with the drink quality downstairs this year. The menu is basically the same but things tasted better than I remembered. A nice surprise. They don't have a jukebox anymore but the music was similar to previous visits - kinda punky rocky, a little metal, a little this, a little that. Not tiki, but it works for us.

Food was also the same as on previous visits; no real complaints. We also had really good service again each night. There was a bit of a delay getting our first order in on Monday, but the place was absolutely PACKED. It was Memorial Day and everyone came out early to enjoy the warm weather on the patio. Once a server had a chance to get to us initially, though, they kept checking back and all was well. As Matiki said, it's a really popular place and the patio in particular seems to always be crowded.
