My husband and I celebrated our anniversary on the Zephyr recently and found it to be a lovely experiance.The food was very good and the service was very good as well. My favorite part was the histroical value of the Zephyr. It is a shame that this is the last year the train will run. I recommend that you get... more

My husband and I have been on the Zephyr about 4 times now. We have found the experience uniquely wonderful. The meal was more than enough and delicious. My husband loves the Prime Rib and I love the Salmon. The service was good and the conductor was kind.The scenery was beautiful especially the ravines with the creek running through it.... more

We took our parents on an afternoon excursion in early spring. It was a nice trip back to the days of a less hectic time and more elegant means of travel. The food was ample and very tasty. The musical entertainment was a bonus. The several courses were paced well over the duration of the trip. I would suggest those... more

I've been on the Zephyr 3 or 4 times and each time was great...although it has been at least 5 years since I've been and I notice more recent reviews are not so pleasant. more

The train only goes 15 miles per hour. It was a disappointing ride - and we had VIP tickets! To make matters worse they started the tour one hour late, so what little daylight we had to enjoy the "scenery" (read, Suburbs) was already gone by the time the train pulled away from the station. The food was okay, but... more

I took the Zephy on November 30th (evening train 6.30PM). Big mistake, it is completely dark in Stillwater around 6PM or so. There is nothing you can see. Anyway, timings are our mistake, I wonder why does the Zephyr have a 6.30PM schedule anyway. Moving on the train ran at around 5MPH for 10 minutes and then reversed, during all... more

Unfortunately, the city has grown up around the old railroad line and most of what you see on the trip is housing developments and golf courses. But I also thought that the service was pretty poor. Simple things, like getting a soda, our waiter forgot about and wasn't very pleasant to us. I also gave a poor review because I... more

This was the worst dinner adventure of my entire life. As the others have said, luke warm food, horrible views, cold inside, extremely over priced, hidden charges, expectations of high gratuities. This is the biggest rip off in Minnesota. Do not go on this trip unless you enjoy being a prisioner on a train that you could actually walk faster... more

My husband and I booked a trip on the Zephyr for our anniversary. We thought it was a bit pricy, but were looking forward to the train ride. We booked a table in the grand dome and were surprised to be seated with a young mother and her SIX year old son...not exactly the romantic evening we were hoping for.... more
