New American Restaurants near Hopkins, MN

“Don't play with them ok!! This gem was a great surprise that served up AMAZING food, OUTSTANDING service and a BEAUTIFUL color concept. We went for lunch and enjoyed every bit of it! Our server was Bobbie he was knowledgeable and had plenty of excellent suggestions for us. Oh and make sure you ask him to tell you a bad dad joke lol The food was plated beautifully and the flavor combos were refreshing and a total party in your mouth. We had the sweet potatoes to share then we each had an entree the Ivy burger and the BLT and finally we shared the brown butter cake. The sweet potatoes were yummy and the sauce went with it so well, burger was so moist it was dripping with juicy flavor after each bite, fries done to perfection ( I love a good fry especially one u can't eat naked without anything), the BLT had a garlic aioli that I loved and a fried green tomato sealed the deal and last but not least that brown butter cake with Marscapone cheese OMG it was sooooooooo good and all the flavors complimented each other. One of the owners Viorica stopped by the table after we were done to introduce herself and chat for a few. I thought that was super sweet!! Overall this place was FABULOUS and I can't wait to bring my husband back to try everything. Great concept, nice location and love the decor ❤️ Thanks for a great lunch!!!!“

“I came to this location to celebrate my daughters 5th birthday and it did not disappoint. The experience was very easy to workout the details and the staff member that helped us was very attentive. My daughter and her friends had a great time bowling and the pizza was delicious. They were able to have their own seating table and table for the gifts and food. I highly recommend coming to this location for a kids birthday party or even just to have some fun bowling“

“4/17/24: The three of us enjoyed a lovely dinner but more than the food was our wonderful server. I WISH I would have asked for her name!! She was simply outstanding. She helped my wife decide on some “gluten free” options, and she was spot on with her suggestions! We shared a bottle of the Raymond Chardonnay, the Ahi Crisps on cucumbers, the Crispy Shrimp w/Dragon Sauce & Togarashi, the Boneless GF Dry Rub Wings and finally the Buffalo Cauliflower. Because of our server we will return!“

“We truly enjoy our meal. Had the masa and salads, tempura shrimp tacos, sweet potatoes and tlayuda. They are were delicious. My drink (T&T) was fresh and complemented the meal perfectly. Service was very good.“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“Exceptional food! Super nice servers!“

“I got the 60/40 burger rare and chicken tenders with a hot dry rub, and it was cooked to my liking. I also got a Moscow Mule, it was okay, but nothing to write home about.Parking: There's a free parking lot but it doesn't have a lot of stalls. I had to park 2 blocks away and walk over. It wasn't a big deal but it would be less than ideal in the winter.“

“This is just a fantastic place! It's been one of my top places in Minneapolis for at least a decade and never fails to disappoint. It strikes a nice balance of being classic and fresh. With the bonus of having stellar food and service. Somehow I still think it's underrated with all the restaurant opening up. But if you want a top-tier place that never fails to disappoint, hit up the eatery!PS The butterscotch budino continues to be my favorite dessert.“

“We had our best restaurant experience at Spoon and Stable. Service was impeccable, cocktails were delightful, food was stellar. We shared the bison tartare, snap pea salad, and torchietti pasta for starters. All were terrific. I had the artic char and it was cooked to perfection. Wife had the pork chop and was thrilled. Son had rib eye and ranked it as the 2nd best steak he's ever eaten, behind only Peter Luger in NY. Mother had the Alaskan halibut and loved it. We capped it off with Chocolate Budino, yum, and honey & cream cake, also yum. A fantastic carajillo dessert cocktail put an exclamation point on what was an all around excellent evening.“

“We love the Sample Room - always have, always will! We had an excellent experience at the bar for Dine Out For Life - Richard took awesome care of us & the food was delicious! Highly recommend the lion's mane mushroom cakes, trout croquettes, & the mussels (personally we'd skip the sausage, takes away from the mussels). Overall, fantastic dining, thank you!“

“excellent service food tasted great best happy hour out there“

“The G.O.A.T. breakfast was absolutely GOAT! Loved it!“

“Food was amazing. Thank you to Sarah for fun friendly service.“

“I wish I could give the service a 10. I love this location, not only for the amazing food, but for the service. The Manager Riley is so pleasant, and helpful. We noticed him going around and talking to other diners, and helping the server's.Parking: Easy and covered parking, well lit.“

“best place in the twin cities. I remember when there was only beer and wine behind the bar and they sold single cigarettes. Dinner was a baguette and a roasted bulb of garlic and a bottle of wine. theater in the back with story tellers and fringe artists that kept this transplanted nyer here in the twin cities for 30 years.“

“Wow! This place is amazing! We enjoyed the hospitality and attention to detail was always on point! Dave was amazing with his knowledge on our wine pairing, and keeping us entertained and informed! I highly recommend this amazing restaurant.“

“Great experience, such friendly, quick service, food was delicious, steak & mimosas for breakfast were outstanding!“

“First time. Service excellent. We tried several appetizers from the Happy Hour menu. Loved them all. $30 for the 2 of us. Very reasonable“

“Tenant is a great experience start to finish. I recommend going a bit earlier, so you can start by their bar next door - literally named Next Door so you don't get confused - where you can start with a cocktail. You're then moved to the dining room - either chef's counter or one of the few tables - and are treated to a tasting menu by the incredibly friendly and competent Tenant team. All the dishes served were delicious and the chef's counter spots are perfect to watch the magic happening in this friendly and cozy setting. Loved all the dishes, with particular highlight to the shrimp ravioli paired with beet cubes. Nice wine pairing as well.“

“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.“

“Everything served to our table was delicious! Our server was Chris and he was SO NICE!! We were a little hurried, as we had a show to go to. Chris managed to keep things moving and keep us on time, but we never felt rushed. We had a very enjoyable meal.“

“I love their dog friendly culture. My favorite dish is the broasted chicken. They have amazing drinks also.“

“I had their food when it was catered for a work event. Absolutely phenomenal!!! I went back today to order on my own. I got the ribeye sandwich. mac n cheese and loaded chips.Sandwich -- AMAZING!!! Small, but also a decent piece of steak, so you kind of have to expect that. I'd definitely order it again!!!Loaded chips -- not so good. See pic.Mac n cheese -- just ok. I'm really, really picky about Mac n cheese. My fav is whalburgers. Most people will love this!Can't wait to go back and try other things. Have to say.. the owner is just a delightful person and the product is VERY good. Try the green goddess dressing. You won't regret it!!!“

“Arrived on Sunday for brunch (with a reservation!) to find there was no host & restaurant was dead (2 parties in the restaurant & a person sitting at the bar). After peeping into the restaurant 3-4 times & seeing 2 servers ignoring us (not busy!), someone finally agreed he'd seat us. This is a beautiful space. We had a booth by the bar. Service was attentive once we got seated. The brunch Old Fashioned was definitely on point. The hash was disappointing, flavorful but mostly potatoes & little hash topped w/ an almost raw egg. Shrimp & grits were the very item we had - grits were worthy of being taken home for another day.“

“We went there for the first time last night. The food was amazing and the atmosphere peaceful and cozy. Highly recommend“

“I come to and enjoy Brasa consistently enough that I should finally write a review. The short: service is consistently friendly and helpful, food is consistently good, great gluten-free option with (thus far) no cross-contamination incidents, and a very casual atmosphere. All of my friend group have different favorites: the egg sandwich, the pork bowl, the chilaquiles (my personal favorite.) Every protein comes in different forms: a plate, a sandwich, or a bowl. Most options (except the sandwiches and a couple of sides) are gluten-free. Quick run down of what I've tried: * Chilaquiles with red sauce (the GOAT): the red sauce is such a great flavor and pairs well with the smothered chicken. Their pickled jalapenos and an egg on top makes it a perfect weekend lunch dish. * Egg sandwich: the red sauce reappears on this, to great effect once more. Otherwise it's a simple-but-great egg sandwich served with their tortilla chips. * Fish sandwich: not bad, not my favorite. Flavors are not as punchy as the other options I've had. * Mac and cheese: delightful and simple, thick cheese sauce, no complaints. Crispy yuca, fried plantains, sweet cornbread, also all good. Really, the menu is full of great options. Their beverages don't disappoint either, the coffee and tea are very nice quality -- tea always comes out with a great color and flavor (not bitter at all), coffee pleases even the pickiest coffee nerds in my friend group. Also: no tipping, service fees are built into the menu prices.“

“My expectations were probably too high walking in. The food was good, not as outstanding or as interesting as I would have thought. The grilled sea salt oyster on the way in was tasty. They brought us well prepared chicken, some sushi small bite, and other things I can't remember a month later that were enjoyable. The cake was dry and not worth the calories (or cost). The dietary restriction I indicated was missed but they were able to adjust in the moment. The atmosphere was lovely upstairs. We ate in the covered outdoor area at a shared table.“

“This is a great place with breakfast and lunch and delicious desserts. The prices are quite reasonable. The atmosphere is great.This is a wonderful place with breakfasts and lunches and delicious desserts. Prices are quite reasonable. The atmosphere is greatParking: Everything is cool“

“Food was pretty good. (breakfast)Had ham & cheese omelet. It I cluded toast & hashbrowns. Also ordered a stack of pancakes. All was good & warm. Could have had a little more ham in the omelet. Server was excellent. Yes, I'd eat there again.“

“Great service and food , lovely atmosphere“

“It has been over a decade since I've been here and I'm so glad I returned. 1st of all, food was fantastic. The bacon was super tasty, the hash browns perfectly crisped without being too greasy, the eggs basted soft (though the tiniest part of a white underdone far better than crispy imo), and their homemade blackberry ginger jam so delicious I used my multi grain bread to scoop up as much as possible. The coffee had a good flavor which is key for me. It is super strong for those who like that - for those who don't, get a little side of hot water to dilute it.Surprisingly, the prices are reasonable for a downtown restaurant. My husband got a breakfast burrito and pop and I got a classic breakfast with coffee.Our bill before tax and service charge was just under $40. They have a 15% service charge but explain on the menu and online that it goes to staff. Tipping is additional but service is so good they deserve more.The decor is like a modern twist on an old fashioned supper club, with many Minnesotan references and artwork.I learned that they are now employee-owned, and celebrating 22 years! My next visit back will not be so far in the future...“

“Food was good but it was super slow service, there were maybe 5 tables in the whole restaurant at the time we got there. The waiter just did not seem to care about the tables either, just very lackadaisical. There were only 2 tables in his section when we got there, he checked on us once after our order.“

“The food was very good. The service was very good. The atmosphere was lovely. the prices are very reasonable. No sur charges! And they were patient with us hogging our table at Easter brunch for two hours. (we felt bad) Tommy one of the sous chefs was our waiter. He was great. One of the best all around restaurants in North East Minneapolis if not Minneapolis as a whole. We are definitely going back. Give them a try, you will leave their full and content.“

“Fantastic food - every bite was amazing!“

“Great vibes. They serve food directly from Mannys so it's awesome. Great cocktails. Lovely fire and just a nice place to start your night before heading elsewhere or catch a drink. They usually have a dj which is awesome. The waiters are super nice and helpful and do their best to serve you. Overall this place leaves up to its name. Very laid back like you're in your living room getting ready for a pregame. Enjoy!“

“The food, gin and jams, and decor are perfect. This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant and bar.“

“I've had the burger 3 times and it has never been good, always over salted and over cooked. Their fried chicken sandwich however is very well made.Servers have been friendly and prompt every time. The ambience is great, the lights are dim, and it feels cozy.The music however is way too loud. At the bar, it registers on my Apple Watch at around 78-80dB.The cocktails are easily the highlight. I've had a few of the house cocktails and they've all been top tier. They also make the IBA classics extremely well. They're brave enough to offer to put an egg white in the whisky sour and it definitely pays off.“

“Went in for the tequila tasting event. So fun to try a new tequila. All organic and no preservatives! So fun to learn about tequila. Also had a Mint Julip, made by the owner. So nummy. Took me back to sitting on the veranda at Oak Alley in Louisiana. Had the Brazin burger , cooked perfectly and the fries were done to perfection. Crunchy and hot! What a perfect ending to hard work week. Thank you!“

“We stopped in for some Wrecktangle pizza at 1:00 on a sleepy Mother’s Day and took a seat at the central bar. This was the second food hall we enjoyed on this trip to Minneapolis. The first was Graze a couple of blocks away from the North Loop Gallery. BTW, this space has nothing to do with art. It’s a poor choice of name. Even if “Food” was used as an adjective before Gallery, it would make more sense. Sean was our charming bartender, and his sincerity helped brighten up an already beautiful day. We spoke of the wonders of the Twin Cities while enjoying beer and pizza. That’s a close to perfect Sunday in May.“

“The overall experience was great. The prices were all a little bit higher than I'm comfortable with, however the food/service/atmosphere was worth it. The women's restroom was super clean and to dry your hands they had a bin of white hand towels rolled up, like at a spa! Nice final touch. On the website they advise that parking is limited and you might want to carpool. This is helpful advice. We were lucky enough to get a parking spot anyway, but at least we knew ahead of time we might have to scramble for parking.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic time with friends, enjoying delicious drinks expertly crafted by Christopher and desserts by Sammy. The ambiance was top-notch, and the service was both impeccable and swift. Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking a memorable evening with great company and cocktails!“

“I had an absolutely horrible experience here there was about 30 other patrons inside puttery Monday night and everyone was taking turns slapping my balls laughing at me and calling me "little balls" saying hey there "little balls" or "why don't you grow some bigger balls little balls" i'm hurt, embarrassed, and ashamed. :( i'll try again tomorrow“

“Boxer Bites and Muttloaf are the best! Now to get Mom to buy me both when we have brunch on the Pawtio.“

“Great concert venue. Plus. Their food is 5 star quality.“

“This brunch spot is adorable and has excellent food and drinks. The service wasn’t great - no one explained to us the self serve area vs full service area when we walked in, just stared at us. Another group walked in behind us and the staff then proceeded to explain everything quite kindly to them. The staff member that took our order at the counter acted quite annoyed and barely spoke to us.“

“Enjoyed a great evening with my wife and another couple dining at Harriett. Had the duck special. So perfectly prepared and yummy. We paired with a few great wines from their great offering. And ended w two homemade desserts that were so awesome. I highly recommend this comfortable restaurant that offers wonderfully prepared dishes and great service.“

“Part of my job is to coordinate catering for training sessions, C-suite meetings, Board meetings and as soon as I found Cafe Fusion, it became my GO-TO for any and all catered needs. I've ordered everything from chopped salads, wraps, and pizzas to the taco bar (OMG) and pasta bar (OMMMMGGGG) and the hoagies. Everything is always fresh, delicious, portioned perfectly and presented so nicely. The staff is friendly, ON TIME, and extremely helpful. I can't say enough about this place! You cannot go wrong with them.“

“We had a group of six and a child eat at LARS for dinner and breakfast, and both times we had Brook as our server. Brook went above and beyond for our group. Always checking to make sure that we had everything that we needed, and we were always well taken care of. For dinner, we had a birthday that we were celebrating, and Brook surprised her with cake and ice cream. For breakfast, he knew we were about to drive home, and he made sure the kids had to go snacks and juices for the ride. Food was great, but service was exceptional. Will definitely back!“

“Great place and delicious food!“

“Date Night on Thursday was delicious. We chose the date night menu which has lots of options. Reasonably priced, too. My salmon had the right balance and even the portion seemed small initially, turns out they knew what they were doing. Partner had the ravioli which was also very good. We had room for a fresh, warm cookie dessert and ice cream. We'll be back. Just sorry it took us so long to find this treasure.“
