Drawing inspiration from his diverse cultural background and extensive travels, Chef Gerard promises Klassics Kitchen + Cocktails will be a vibrant tapestry of flavors: “The menu is my food sermon, a masterful blend of tradition and innovation, crafted with love and care to tantalize the senses and ignite culinary curiosity."

Brittney and Gerard Klass also own C.R.E.A.M. Cafe (next door to Klassics Kitchen) and Soul Bowl, which operates in Graze Food Hall, U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Field, Target Center and the Minnesota State Fair.
