Cocktail Bar • $$
“Absolutely loved this place! Came here yesterday; and it has a really cool vibe. The bar is in the back of a restaurant and the overall vibe is very chill and upscale. Their alcohol list is insane! There’s over 100s of options and choices to choose from. I ordered a whiskey sour with parm fries and my experience was absolutely amazing. I would absolutely return! Also, the bartender working was absolutely amazing!! The drinks he made were delicious.“
“Highly recommend Jensen’s Food & Cocktails. Excellent service, outstanding food (steaks, seafood, burgers, salads) all very good. Delicious after dinner drinks too. Have dined here many times with clients, family & friends. Was there last night and had excellent service from Matt at the bar. Very reasonably priced filet mignon, baked potato, house salad, and those delicious popovers! Thanks Jensen’s for always creating great memories!“
“The restaurant had a nice vibe to it. They had nice staff and it was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. Only complaint was some errors in the food that came out and missing sauces that we had to ask again for.I had the burger and sweet potato fries. The burger was good but I prefer a thicker fry. Also had the stuffed mushrooms they are known for and they were absolutely amazing, I would highly recommend. The espresso martini was also great!“
“Had a wonderful dinner date here on a Wednesday night. It was still a very busy night for the resturant, meaning there were some tables that were spaced inches apart in the main area and making it loud enough that conversation was occasionally difficult to hear.The food though, was wonderful. We started with a couple of cocktails, the Mamakuna and La Clandestina, both of them were tasty, being fruity and light, in their respective ways. The first food we got was the masa & guacamole along with the corn elote, which go together in a fun mix-n-match way. For mains, we got chicken tinga tostadas and the seared scallops. The chicken tinga was a lot of savory deliciousness without being to heavy and the seared scallops were full of vibrant flavors, and surprisingly spicy with the salsa macha. And of course, we got the churros for dessert. They were fun and tasty, with the dulce de leche and sweetend cream, I definetly favored the cream, but I'm less of a sugar person.I would love to go again, but I think I will wait until the patio is open to get some more elbow room and bring down the noise level.Parking: The parking lot is very small, fewer than a dozen spots. There is plenty of street parking, but it's a busy area.Wheelchair accessibility: There is no curb on entry. The entranceway is pretty tight, it's got a straight hall to the left inside the front door, straight to the front desk. To get into the seating area is a right turn from facing the desk.In the seating area, there is very little room between tables, to the point where some of the tables are literally inches apart.There is a wide through path to the back of the building, where kitchen and restrooms are located. The restrooms are roomy but have low toilets.“
“I recently moved here from Arizona and George and the Dragon has become my families go to restaurant. The food is amazing and the price is very affordable. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. I highly recommend you give this place a try if you haven’t yet!“
“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.“
“Wonderful fresh food selection and service was cheerful and attentive. Ordered an Old Fashion and when we got the bill found out they charge an extra $2 for an ice ball. This should have been disclosed and it is frozen water…$2 extra is excessive.“
“At noon from Monday through Friday I go to La Casa Deli and order my meal. "Cuatro wet birria quesotacos & café" is what I tell the server after I sit down, preferably next to the fire. The tacos come with limes, serrano salsa & the birria soup. Once I saturate my quesotacos in lime juice, I dip them in the house made serrano salsa. Before too long there are no tacos on my plate, which is now covered in orange grease, along with my face and my right hand. The birria soup has a little beef at the bottom, before it too joins the fresh cut vegetables and peppers. My coffee is always too hot, so I take it to go and enjoy it later after I clean up.Please ensure this establishment thrives, I can't get better Mexican food anywhere else.Casa Deli Savage,Thank you.“

“Kruse Market is wonderful! We enjoyed the Rainbow Bowl, What’s Wrong with Basic toast, Masala Chai Tea, and Blueberry Hills coffee. All were fantastic! A friend ordered the G.O.A.T. toast (on gluten-free bread) and let me take a nibble - divine! The retail side had a ton of great merch (those basil olives!!! *chef’s kiss!*) that we also stocked up on. And my family was pleasantly surprised to be the recipients of fresh takeout pastries and some Milkjam ice cream! We had such a fantastic time! There are ample outlets for the remote worker, and enough choices to satisfy all kinds of palates and dietary needs. I can’t wait to go back for dinner!“
“This is the finest dining in Minneapolis, hands down. I went in February 2024 and everything was executed with meticulous care. Every single dish was perfectly balanced. There was nothing superfluous, nothing too heavy, nothing too acidic. The wine pairings were well thought out. Also, none of the staff forgot I was a pescatarian at any point. It was also the perfect amount of food. For the quality of the food the prices were extremely reasonable. I have been to most of the fine dining establishments in the Metro and don't think the others, like Travail or Spoon and Stable, which are amazing in their own right, can really compare to Tenant. This is where you bring a true foodie if you want to impress them.“
“We went to Joan’s with our dining group, Haute Plates, and left there not only fully sated, but euphoric. From the astounding service (Dan) to the overseeing by Joan herself, and all the prep by Jen for our group, we were already blown away. Then the food arrived. Each bite sent us into reverie. Are they magicians??Dietary restrictions: I cannot do butter. They were beyond accommodating!“
“Ate here with my son for the first time and had the Cajun rubbed wings. These are heavily breaded btw (super yummy if u like that, I love grilled and thought it was that because I was hangry lol) my son got the juicy Lucy or something but omg it looked ah-mazing and I rarely eat ?!!??? loved the staff, loved my server, saucy blond minx who is also a bar-tendress, and was a hoot n’ a half☺️✨ I will be back! Normally I just walk by as I walk my dog with my cigar in hand and smile at the joyous vibe that creeps out onto the street outside. That’s a great restaurant when you have that going on.☘️??? Walkability: If you have to park up near davannis or the mortuary it’s a short walk.Food & drinks: The servers and bartenders were shaking and making and giggling with regulars. I loved it. just ask them what’s good or look (or sniff lol) and they will tell you. It’s easy to see that nothing looked short of rockstar!“

“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.“
“it’s so good, but their new menu has taken at least nine things off. It was already a little bit light in terms of content and variety, so even harder to find something I'm in the mood for. Hopefully they can add a few more items back soon. Two of the items that are not as good or their flatbread with their premade dough and their chicken wings have great flavor and are cooked well, but the quality of the chicken just isn’t there. interestingly the chips that come with their spinach artichoke dip are perfect and some of the best tortilla chips around.“
“In the past, I’ve had great experiences here. I’ve brought several friends for their first visits. Food and drinks are great, always; tonight was no exception. Tonight, however, we had such negative experiences with staff. Our table wasn’t ready as reserved. It happens, usually no big deal, but they told us it would be just a minute and they’d let us know. it was 15 before I went back to the host table to ask about it and no one seemed to know what I was talking about. At the time three people were behind the host desk and I had walked by three servers chatting on my way in). Because of this, we lost one of the people who was going to join us. Another member of our party had to get to work (the reason we had reserved a time) and by the time our table was ready, he didn’t have time to order an entree. To be fair, we did have two people who were supposed to join us not show up and I understand that’s frustrating, but we were the ones who DID show up and had (or tried to have) an app, entres and multiple drinks. Besides the app coming late (with the entree, even though I asked a second time about it before ordering the entree), one of the entrees we ordered was wrong, but we had given up on anyone caring by that time. It felt like we were an inconvenience to the hosts and our server. I think he actually may have rolled his eyes more than once. I felt like I was somewhere that needed table turnover or at a dive bar where polite service isn’t really an expectation, but there were open tables near us and we didn’t complain about our late table or app. And we communicated about our absent party members as best we could once we knew. Usually, we tip really well because we’ve worked food service and understand it’s hard work and stuff happens. We understand EVERYONE is short-staffed right now, but we are still paying for a babysitter and nights out are precious, even when expected friends have things come up or don’t have time to wait for a table. If I want someone to roll their eyes at me, I’ll stay home with my teen and do it for free, thanks. Sincerely, it doesn’t take much to satisfy us (a couple weeks ago we tried Colita for the first time and our table was over an hour late, but the staff were polite and did their best to make our experience pleasant and I didn’t feel like I was a burden despite the extremely busy restaurant) but tonight after waiting, then a couple attempts to flag down the server so we could get home to relieve the babysitter, my husband finally had to go look for the server for a box (for the wrong entree that we didn’t finish) and the check. I know staffing is short right now and customers can be super-rude, but we aren’t rude and this was too much. No matter how good the blueberry smash and location on the lake are, I don’t think I’ll be back, and definitely not with friends. And I don’t think the two people who joined us as first-time guests will be back either - they were already skeptical about leaving the cities but I said it was worth it. Not tonight, it wasn’t.“
“I am from Chicago, but the food and wine in this delightful place was the best Mexican food we have ever had. It was surprising that it was not crowded. It is probably because it is known as a pancake house but I would call it American Mexican Fusion restaurant. There is even a party room where we plan to host a gathering . There is a karaoke machine too for those interested.“
“I love this place, the first time a waiter asks if we have any food allergies, wow they are attentive, the food is delicious, the cocktails are exquisite and the location is very good, you can walk near a large lake, it has different places for ice cream or anything another craving.“
“Great food always however St Patrick’s Day corn beef and cabbage was the best we’ve ever have. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. Cocktails and wine are awesome. Service is outstanding it always is. Well done. Beautiful!“
“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!“
“We had breakfast for our group of 5. Choices included the fried egg sandwich-garlic aioli on English muffin bread, the waffle with candied walnuts, berries and whipped cream and the Cedar Stone breakfast which included bacon, eggs, potatoes and fruit. Service was very good. Wait staff very polite, and food was very good. Everyone was pleased.Parking: The restaurant was at the mall of America which has free parking on site.“
“We had an unexpected and amazing afternoon here - so much so that I felt compelled to write a review. This is a hidden gem. We had fantastic service and great advice , the wine choices were amazing and all reasonably priced. Impressed and surprised by the food - which was fantastic! Definitely recommend the Brie bites. Will definitely return.“
“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!“
“The whole staff, was just amazing!! The kitchen crew, the cooks on the floor and, the Lord, the Walt staff, woo, grabbing the dirty and getting them set back up like, BOOOM!! Thank you for blessing everyone that came there. We were served an amazing meal.“
“Had the chef special. Japanese inspired veggie pancake with ham and eggs!!! Sooo amazing! Here for the MyTalk weekly dish with Steph & Steph. Had my True North Cabin Cookbook signed!! The best day ever! The food and service were on point!!!“
“I have lived in Bloomington all my life and have never tried this place. I only discovered it through Yelp search and choose to try it due to the good ratings. They are strictly open for lunch 12-2 located on the first floor of an office building. Therefore, it gets very busy and loud in there for the lunch rush. They were very fast and efficient though. First time coming here I felt a little confused at how to order. If you can read signs then you will be just fine and can figure it out. They have the left side for ordering hoagies and they have the right side for ordering salads. They wood fire the pizzas and sandwiches and looked really good. I tried the oriental chicken salad and it was very tasty! You get huge portions for a great price. All ingredients seemed so fresh too! I was a little confused on the parking situation and may have parked in the wrong area. I parked where it said delivery's only but hey I didnt get towed. I was in and out in about ten minutes.“

“Being vegan, I wanted an option at the Mall of America that wasn't a chain restaurant or heavy deep friend food/burger. I found CRAVE has a separate vegan/plant based menu. I sat at the bar to eat. The waitstaff were kind and attentive. I went during happy hour, and there are a few vegan options on the happy hour menu. I got the edamame, sushi roll, and a cider. I would go back again!“
“Came here with a group of coworkers on 4/23 for dinner with varying menu items from rotisserie chicken, steak & sandwiches. We ordered goat cheese balls and walleye fingers for appetizers, and while the goat cheese balls were very dry, the walleye fingers were great. I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich (you must add bacon!), which was awesome, although I would've like a little more cranberry aioli and fries. Most of the fries were hard and inedible, but there were a few good ones. The atmosphere was great, not too loud, and our server was awesome.“
“This might be the best place I've eaten at in the Minneapolis area. Great friendly staff, great food, and you can't say enough about the owners they're exactly what you want from good owners. I would recommend this place ten times out of ten. Don't skip the desert at this place either, it would be a mistake.“
“We had a great experience at Lucky's Pub 13 in Burnsville, our waiter, Lucas, and the host were so accomidating! We are not from the area and wanted to watch the Iowa Women's Basketball game, they turned it on for us and we stayed for the duration of the game and felt as if we were VIP with the treatment we receieved from staff. Food and drinks were just an added bonus but it was the staff that made everything so much fun!“
“Old Southern BBQ catered our daughter's wedding for about 250 guests. Amy and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! They accommodated all of our requests without complaint. The food was amazing, we received a bunch of compliments from the guests. I highly recommend Amy, her staff and Old Southern BBQ!“
“I love this place! It's very dive-y which is why I love it so don't walk in expecting Michelin stars.The staff is always friendly, the cooks are passionate and love making new things - I'd like to specifically call out the tacos that are not always on the menu but when they are they're definitely made with care and love.Drinks are strong, atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect of a dive which is part of the fun!Fun place!“
“Ok. Here's the deal. It's December. We walked into the restaurant, hoping for some Christmas spirit. Lights, garland, a simple tree. Perhaps a warm welcome or Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Nothing. Add to that very few people on a Friday night!The food was good, but the wine was overpriced and below average. Our waiter was wonderful. We are glad we tried it yet we will not return.“
“The staff are friendly and very nice, The baked potato I had was awesome. The grilled chicken was flavorful. The restaurant was nice and clean, which I liked a lot, they really take care of the dining area making sure the tables are clean/sweeping up crumbs. A great place to grab a bite to eat. The first time I went, the fries were overcooked and tasted terrible; Wont be trying the fries again!“
“Nordstrom Grill may be a well kept secret to many MOA visitors. I recently discovered it myself and have been back within a week. It has an interesting menu and good food. Customer service was very professional and efficient. I have already promoted it to others.“
“I did not expect to write a review for an airport restaurant but I loved this place. I loved it so much I want to come here next time I visit MSP (especially if I need extra flight legs for airline status). The hummus was so good. And a 9oz pour for $11?!? In the airport?!? This place is such a win.“
“The thing that impressed me the most about this restaurant was the staff. The general manager Rob took the time to make us feel welcome and cared for. He does an outstanding job. The bartenders are amazing. Not only are the drinks inventive and delicious but the service was spot on. At the end of our meal the assistant manager stopped by to check on us one last time. We told her we would be sure to return soon.“
“Loved our wedding venue! It was truly magical with the chandeliers, and the waterfall. It looks amazing in all of our photos. Working with the event coordinator Jen made the whole experience go smoothly and made some things become our own with extra decorating. She is awesome! All we heard were good things about this venue. The food was SO good! We definitely would stop in again just for dinner. Couldn’t have chosen a better place to have our wedding at. �“
“I had a really pleasant dining experience here! The food is pretty good, with a nice variety of flavors that cater to different tastes. The service is comfortable, striking a good balance between attentiveness and giving you space to enjoy your meal. The eating environment is fine--clean and well-maintained, though nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, it's a solid choice for a nice meal out. Definitely worth visiting!“
“Nordstrom Grill is one of my favorite restaurants at the Mall Of America. The menu is simple yet very good. I appreciate how hard the staff works and that the store manager steps in when things get busy. I’ve never been disappointed. Always have loved the Basil Tomato Soup and can’t resist grabbing a chocolate chip cookie!Parking: Most customers like to park in the fourth levelWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“
“I love to go here with my parents, everyone can get something they like! The breakfast is good, old-fashioned Midwestern food. As others have mentioned, Midwestern food doesn't always have the most flavor, but sometimes you just need something simple and hearty. Geez Louise! One thing is that the place is a bit dirty... nothing gross, but it could use a deep clean. Overall, very yummy!“
“When I return from business trips, my husband meets me at the Bradstreet Crafthouse. It's our date night for the weeks I travel. We sit at the bar, share an entre, and talk about our week. The bartender Bob is a joy! He makes great drinks and pops in for a few lively glips to our conversation.Parking: Validated parking in the Intercontinental ramp with purchase at their restaurants.“
“Without a doubt, the best fish & chips we've had in the Mpls/St Paul area. Yes, better than The Anchor in Mpls. Hopefully, they'll offer all year. With the fine food was excellent service to match. Great bar team. Combine with fair prices and an excellent rewards program, you have a winner here.“
