After reading the mixed reviews on Google, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to this place, but my friend convinced me and just said let’s go and have our own experience. I’m glad I went and had my own experience. First thing first, right when we walked in, we were greeted by the host, he was very welcoming and friendly. Once we got seated our waitress Alissa was amazing. The food was great, the vibe with the music made us forget where we were. We had a great night/food/music. The music was at the right volume to the point where I could still have conversation with my friend without shouting across the table, but also be able to hear it to enjoy it. Overall it was great experience and will definitely come back. This place is a great place for date night.

Absolutely exceptional dining experience. The place is stunning, the service is spectacular and the food was phenomenal. Our waiter Dezi was a delight and Eli showed us the best hospitality. A birthday for the books!

We are a dining review group called Haute Plates, reviewing on @Google Maps and @OpenTable. I've been here multiple times, but the rest of the group has not. By categories of stars available here, it comes out on top. And overall, we had a great evening and incredible food. But there were issues. So I'll break this down with a pros/cons list. PROS: *First of all, is there a more elegant and beautiful space? The atmosphere is over the top, and delicious in its own right! *We were greeted immediately; traffic during construction and rain had been horrible, so our group arrived at differing times. This was not an issue for the reservation. Those of us there already had a drink at the bar, and paid our bar tab before being seated at the table. *Eli personally greeted us and gave the group his family's background. *We all did the Moroccan Tasting & Wine Pairing, tempted by it on the website at $75pp *The wines and four courses were overall excellent as far as flavors were concerned. CONS: *While waiting for others at the bar, I ordered a Negroni. The bartender made it with a very floral-forward gin. I couldn't stand it! I said I wasn't a fan, and couldn't drink it. No remake was offered, which I found somewhat remarkable. *Part of the Moroccan tasting (incidentally; we just returned from Morocco) included a seafood tagine. The glory of a tagine is, in part, the presentation of it in it's beautiful cookware. We were served it already plated, but I noticed other tables of 6 or more were served their tagine in the cookware. Food good; presentation not. *One of our diners is deathly allergic to pistachios, which we made known to staff immediately. Luckily I noticed the pistachios on the affected party's plate. Honest mistake in a prix fixe meal, but a warning to all to stay attentive, whatever the restaurant. *The meal is advertised on Fhima's website as $75pp flat fee, 4-course tasting with wines. The bill ran $95pp. I showed the website's screenshot. They reran the bill, were apologetic, and all ended up ok. But by this time, we all felt so bad for saying anything. At the same time, we felt bad about the overcharge. So we left Fhima's feeling bad, when we wanted to be happy. OVERALL: Despite a few negatives, we loved Eli's personal attention, the delicious food, the interesting wines, and the gorgeous ambience. The "cons" were a fluke, as every restaurant can have, but as a reviewer, I also need to point out that they happened. In any case, I plan to return. Everyone has an off night.

The atmosphere and service are quite cool. Very inviting. The French Moroccan food was also very good. I would go again if I am ever back in Minneapolis. I am ranking compared to fine dining, where I have visited many Michelin star restaurants. The food here is very good, but obviously not quite to that degree, hence 4 stars. Highly recommend nonetheless!
