“A hidden gem can be found inside the Marriott Hotel in Brooklyn Park. The food and service here are top notch! We ordered the wings and requested the Tennessee hot sauce. The sauce had a nice kick and was perfect for our liking! The Brussels sprouts were crispy, and the flavors were unique and delicious. I'm not usually a fan of blue cheese, but the combination of all the seasonings was one of the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had! The ribeye was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The staff informed us that the steaks are always fresh, never frozen, and I could definitely taste the difference when I took the first bite. The staff were friendly and provided amazing service!“
“Love that it’s veggie forward - broccolini, mushrooms, others have us coming back for more! But that pub styler burger with dijon mayo is to die for and such a nice treat. The cake is delicious and outdoor patio in the summer is very niceDietary restrictions: Accommodating“
“We decided to try this spot on a hungry whim and found the food to be delightful. The poblano corn was wonderful. The PB&Jay burger was a fun treat. The BBQ sauce on the ribs is sweeter than you expect so take caution if you order the St. Louis rib mac & cheese - but do note if you mix it all up the cheese mellows the sweetness. Our server, Dani, was an absolute delight. Often she would have our drink refills before we even realized we were low. So if you’re hungry and on a whim, stop on by.“
“Been to several specialty dinners as well as regular nights out. The staff are outstanding and from the water server all the way to the General Manager are friendly and always willing to go to the next level of service for you. Custom meats, hearty cocktails you want it they've got it.“
“Run, don’t walk, to The Briar! Wow this place was so special (and dare I say the date capital of Minneapolis at night?)! This place has great cocktails, delicious food, the best atmosphere, and friendliest staff! It was such a treat to go to this small spot with two great friends and enjoy some sandwiches, chips, and soups. Absolutely loved this spot!“
“I hadn't been to Ambi for a year or so. I have always thought it was an adorable place with great service, wine, and food, BUT was really happy to see they've added more wine and food options, while still maintaining the same great level of service. The ladies working today were very pleasant. The Moscato Mule drink was fun. We are looking forward to patio season. Cheers!“

“This place is 10/10 and the people are 20/10! I was there last night to celebrate my husband’s birthday and they went above and beyond with helping me pull off the surprise. When some of the balloons I had floated off, they got a ladder to get them for me. I brought a cake with me, and they provided plates and cutlery for us which I did not expect!! Everyone was absolutely incredible and I’m so grateful for all they did. THANK YOU.The drinks are amazing and the atmosphere is beautiful. It’s a wonderful place for a date night, hang out with friends or a place to celebrate your birthday. I highly recommend!“
“Absolutely amazing! The food here is so delicious! I'm not a foodie and don't do Michelin star dining but oh my goodness is it refreshing to find a place north of the cities that cares about the quality and freshness of there dishes. Absolutely recommend checking it out!“
“Great little find. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the drinks and alcohol they are serving. They even have a selection of spirit free drinks that taste amazing! As a person who does not drink, it is great to find a place that actually makes true cocktails without spirits. Will be back.“
“Absolutely loved the Camden Social. The owner was very professional and welcoming. Went there for Saturday brunch and they had a jazz band playing live music. Ordered the French toast, eggs, and sausage. The sausage was so well seasoned and full of flavor. And the French toast omg so good. Probably one of the best French toast I've had. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. Thanks for a great experience.“
“I hope you’re happy Young Joni. Now I don’t want food at any other restaurant. And to top it off, if it’s not Brandon serving it’s just not going to be worth it.Amazing.The Burrata was the favorite, but like, not by much. It was all just so good!“
“I had not been to Little T’s since the change in ownership and man was I blown way! We arrived around 7 pm with a large group and got a table right away. Our server, Sara, was super attentive, charming and very helpful. The drinks were delivered fast as was water for everyone. Our drinks were strong and delicious but the food is what really makes this place killer! We tried everything on the starters menu and each plate was flavorful with distinct and unique combinations. The cauliflower was incredible! The smash burger was so good that everyone at the table had to taste it. The atmosphere is delightful as well. I can’t rave enough about our experience at Little Tijuana’s!!!Vegetarian options: There is something for everyone!“
“My husband and I took our daughters out for dinner. Nightingale is a lovely restaurant with a bar in the middle. We started with deviled eggs, mushroom bruschetta and french fries. For entrées, we had the Meyer lemon risotto, hangersteak, scallops, and sunchoke soup. I didn't think the french fries were that good and my husband said the lemon risotto was not that great either but everything else was delicious. Service was excellent.“
“Went here for dinner with my wife and brother. We were seated promptly and service was very attentive. The vibe of this place is really interesting, especially the décor.The adult beverage list is extensive and reasonably priced.My brother and I ordered the Wagu Butter Burger - 10/10! Maybe tope 3 burgers I've ever had in my life. It was perfection. The fries were also a cut above.My wife's Mediterranean sampler tasted fine, but she said my burger was better.No complaints at all. I'll be back!“
“We hosted our company holiday party at Steady Pour and it was the PERFECT spot for food, drinks and socializing. The space is both charming and intimate. The food was delicious with great coordination of amount and crowd pleasing bites. The staff was super easy to work with in planning as well as hospitable and friendly throughout the evening of the event. I heard nothing but rave reviews from coworkers about Steady Pour and many exclaimed “I’m for sure coming back here!” I would strongly recommend Steady Pour to anybody looking for both an event space and/or an evening out.“
“The family went for their first Easter Bunny Brunch and Egg Hunt, and the experience was amazing. We had some crepes and other snack bread at the brunch while we waited and the colored on provided Easter sheets and played board games. Then the egg hunt was on!!! Afterwards, the Easter Bunny made an appearance for pictures. In all, it was a blast. Staff was great, especially the host though I didn't catch their name. Food was great. We will definitely be back and if they are considering an egg hunt for next year they can count us in with new custom shirts.Kid-friendliness: Had kid activities planned for a kid central day“
“Such a cool place. Fun vibe inside, old time movies playing, nice decorations. Staff were very friendly and fast. Also, prices are very reasonable! We got a bunch of different drinks while here, mostly NA drinks because a lot of our group doesn't drink. All the drinks were great, my favorites were the Influencer and their NA mixup, which was a bartender special creation every time! Others got some beer, cocktails, and a Japanese whiskey flight. Everyone was very happy! We even got a charcuterie board too, pretty good. Will plan to come back here again! Great drinks and cool vibes!“
“My wife and I went to Jasmine 26 on a whim and we could not be happier with our decision. The staff is amazing and the food was wonderful. It was exactly what we were looking for. We had so much fun creating our hot pots and enjoying all the restaurant had to offer.We brought our 3 teenage boys the following week and they all loved it as well.My wife loved the lamb. My seafood loving son really enjoyed the shrimp and scallops. I really enjoyed all the veggies and mushrooms and how they took on the flavor of the soup. We will definitely be back.“
“-small tacos, kind of loud inside but fun atmosphere, great but somewhat inaccurate service (order got messed up), and delicious cocktails!I had a delicious chipotle camarones taco and pastor taco (both quite small like smaller than a usual taco). My friends said the steak taco was not very good (not super flavorful). The Paloma was delicious and served in a cool tiki cup but a little small. The burritos were giant and good. Be careful because the hot salsa is very spicy according to my friends. Parking can be a headache (some street parking after 6pm or 3 small spots reserved for Nico’s off street). Guac was decent but very onion forward and quite expensive for a group“
“I love that the menu is made up of both tapas-style options and full entree dishes from the Caribbean + also New Orleans- some of my favorite flavors! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful. Both the cocktails and NA drinks are fantastic, and the ambiance is a welcome addition to North Loop + the Twin Cities-- festive, fun, relaxing, good vibes.“
“Just had a staff happy hour ( that lasted about two hours!) that was so much fun! Great service, great apps and beverages and just a wonderful place! Haven't been in for a while due to Covid and it was GREAT to be back! A true gem in the neighborhood! Thanks, Sonder Team!“
“One of my go-to places but I'm dropping a star because the last several times I've gone the kitchen has closed early because they're slow despite there being multiple patrons in the resturant still (not just the bar) so I've been having to call to make sure the kitchen is open still prior to going and even then they can't guarantee it will still be open by the time I get there which is a little frustrating. Otherwise great atmosphere, food, and drinks.“
“Came to Char Bar for the first time for happy hour on Saturday with Kim T. Char Bar is a speakeasy on the inside of Butcher & Boar (through the glass doors). We arrived around 4:45 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too crazy busy, we were one of a handful of tables. The hour menu was pretty good! A good amount of food and drink items ranging between $6-10. I had the Chicken Sammy ($10), Kim had an Arby's style 3 Way Beef & Cheese sando ($17), and we split the Curly Fries ($6). I also ordered two of the non happy hour burgers to go ($8/each). I really liked my sandwich a lot, chicken was perfectly crispy, the slaw was savory and sweet, Polynesian vibes. I would absolutely get it again! Kim liked her sandwich but she said the sauce was too much and soaked the bottom of the bun, the curly fries were fine. I had a dragon tattoo cocktail, serenity pineapple rum cocktail, and a frozen rum & cherry coke slushy. Drinks were boozy but pricey! Loved the menu showing the drinks very cute and visibly pleasing. Update: Butcher Burger ($8) was sensational! It's no Parlour Bar burger but it's sooo good, tasted gourmet and traveled well. Fun fact: the restaurant group over Parlour Bar also owns Char Bar! I liked the pickled onions and the chipotle mayo cheese sauce, good solid burger for a good price!“
“Unfortunately wasn't able to enter. We heard great things about the late night cocktails available here. There was an extremely aggressive man screaming at the bouncer to "Do Something!!!" . While the bouncer did his best to deter to the aggressor, we still never felt comfortable approaching the entrance.“
“A beautiful venue with unique drinks, but our experience was exceptional thanks to our server Hailey J. She was so professional, recommended drinks specific to our likes, and took the time to get to know us. We will definitely be back because of this!“
“It's a bar with a restaurant. Kitchen seriously needed some ventilation. Very smoky in the restaurant, not burnt smoke, or cigarette smoke, but just good ole fashioned kitchen smoke. Be warned when they're serving their brunch menu in the morning they do not offer their a full menu.“
“Incredible is the best word for this place, intimate, like exclusive, the service and attention was very good, and food, is delicious, the bread with the sauce of olive is a delirious, I just eat the gnocchi, and so Good, delicious, recommended ?%, come back for the Pizza,“
“Great food hall in the North Loop. It can be crazy busy, especially on Twins game days, but our recent stop was on a Thursday afternoon with no immediate events nearby. Plenty of spaces to sit. They indoor and outdoor seating, with gas firepits outside on a patio, as well as a rooftop deck. Choose foods from the (currently) 5 food vendors, 1 coffee shop, 1 ice cream shop, 1 bar, and then choose a spot to sit. Staff in each of the spots are really friendly and helpful. The guys at Two Mixed Up happily explained their menu options and offered suggestions. The bartender at Libabtion Lounge was also great, and told me I could bring my drink back up for something else if i didn't like it. (Sangria. I DID like it!). Husband and I ordered at Two Mixed Up. We both had Just a Burger and it was delicious! Also ordered one chocolate chip cookie, which was massive and totally shareable! It's just a great place to hang out and enjoy some friend time.“
“Shige-san was fantastic! It was such an amazing experience. Each dish was nicely explained, what it was, consisted of and where it came from. Little facts that we didn't even know. It was such a joy to converse and learn about Shige-san and his passion. The atmosphere was phenomenal and felt so traditional. The Blue-fin Tuna was exceptional along with the Wagyu. Sitting at the Chefs table is a must-do experience that everyone has to try. Getting to know these chefs and their passion is something you'll never forget! Thank you for making my husband's birthday one he will remember! We will be back!“
“This local "dive bar",checks all the boxes. A nice mix of standard beers, craft beer, and beer from a bygone era (Old Style on tap). Short menu (small grill next to the bar) but the sausage patty burgers are the best. And don't forget the potato salad. I am always amazed with the bartenders who can serve drinks to a full house and grill food in-between pours.This place is the epitomy of NEMPLS“
“I brought my boss who was visiting Minneapolis for the first time to this place. The pizzas were absolutely delicious. Though for some reason we only ordered four items and ended up spending $150. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, because he paid for the meal. So I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for making corporate spend money on me. The staff were great and again, the food was incredibly delicious.“
“okay so overall the food was delicious. i got the burrito and it was solid. no real complaints there. the yuca fries also delicious and not too greasy, perfectly crispy. the guac was so fresh and so were the salsas. my only complaint was the guava margarita. mind you i’ve been craving a guava margarita for MONTHS now so my hopes were high. but this one really missed the mark for me. it wasn’t guava-y enough and generally just tasted kinda watered down. (though you can note in my photo that i did drink all of it so it wasn’t unbearable—but truly who can say no to a margarita) it just needed something to take it up a notch.overall a great choice and they were super accommodating for our large group and the service was so speedy.“
“Calling all tequila connoisseurs! Not enough vegetarian options--I think just one taco option as of today's date--but it's still a very good place. Tastes authentic. Cozy but city vibes. Bartender was good company. Tequila is also great to look at and taste.“
“My daughter and I were very impressed with the desserts! It was so hard to choose from the menu and dessert case! We ended up trying four different desserts which were all so incredibly delicious. Next time we are in town we will make sure to stop again!“
“This was the perfect restaurant find for our friends weekend out. The atmosphere was so fun, eye catching, unique and well decorated! The food was hands down delicious. The bars are beautiful! The staff was very friendly easy to talk to. I was so impressed the whole time were were there! When we are back in the area we will definitely go back here!!!“
“MY FAVORITE CHINESE PLACE! THE VEGETABLE LO MEIN IS FANTASTIC WITH BABY BOK CHOY, ASPARAGUS, CARROTS, BROCCOLI, ETC.! AND THE SESAME BALLS ARE SO YUMMY!!! I GET THIS EVERY SUNDAY! They do not have a side of white rice so I make my own at home…but giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars for that reason - always have rice on hand!“
“They got me! Didn’t look closely before going and didn’t realize they were a vegetarian place, I was upset at first but decided to just give it a try. And WOW! The food is amazing, no idea what the patty is made of and honestly don’t care, will definitely be back!“
“Stopped by for an early dinner, there was no wait, which was nice. Had the crab cake as a starter, and that was delicious. Our waitress was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. She had excellent timing - knew when to pop in for refills on drinks and waters and overall had a very positive attitude and vibe. We had the Burgers and fries for dinner, and they were amazing! The French Fries are addictive. The only bummer was the limited menu. Everything we had was great. We would have loved more food offerings. We will be back, we had an excellent experience.Parking: Street parking only, read the street signs so you don't get towed.“
“Skaalvenn is a true gem, tucked away in the most unlikely of locales. The vibe is fantastic, the team running the place is super attentive and friendly, and the beverages are well crafted. Really happy we found it - and will be back soon!“
