Chef Gerard Klass, a Guyanese American deeply rooted in Minneapolis' vibrant hospitality scene, has embarked on the next leg of his culinary journey with the launch of Klassics Kitchen + Cocktails. This full-service restaurant has been seven years in the making and is located in the former Smith & Porter Restaurant space.

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."
