“They squeezed us in despite having a full house. We’ve been twice and both times were incredible. I don’t know what is better- the service or the food. Even the burger is one of the best in the cities. Sit at the chef’s table if you can and make sure you get a dessert.“
“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“
“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!“
“Super impressed by our experience with wait staff, this place is absolutely adorable, and the food was very impressive. We loved the drink menu with so many options for N/A drinkers, too. Being able to pop next door and buy items we enjoyed at dinner to take home was a delight.“

“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Great Vibe. Space is relatively small for the amount of people that come in to enjoy. The wait is worth it; food and drink is fantastic. My only recommendation would be to print the menu in bigger font because it’s a dimly lit restaurant so get out your phone to shine a light. Definitely going back to enjoy other items. Service was top notch“
“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 daughter and I stopped in with no reservation while it was pretty busy and were seated right away. Our waitress was awesome and the service was fast. I got the Pork Belly & Biscuit- very delicious! My daughter got the Chicken Biscuit and she loved it! She isn’t a fan of honey but loved the hot honey that came with her dish ( she had it on the side to make sure she would like it). I was also impressed the coffee drink selection. Such great varieties! I had the Pistachio Cardamom which was so delicious. Also ordered the March special to go which was the Lucky Green Dream Latte- very delicious as well! Definitely stopping again when we are back in the area!“
“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!“
“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“
“Tasty unique cocktails. I think they should bring some food back though, I can drink more when I am eating!All the musical acts were good, especially Fenix Dion. The sound was fine for my ears, but I think the shape of the room made it hard for my phone to get good video.“
“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.“
“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.“
“The building and decor are beautiful. The cashier was very nice. I would recommend the tomato soup and focaccia. My sandwich was ok cold sandwiches are not my favorite. I also got a delicious tiramisu I think they should come out with some warm ones. A little pricey but overall a good experience.Vegetarian options: They have a couple of vegetarian options but not very many vegan ones.“
“Came here with our kickball team after a game and we all were happy with the last minute pick. Efficient and extremely tasty food, good happy hour deal, nice patio, and very kind staff! Will absolutely be back here! Highly recommend the Birria tostada wrap, elote, churros, and chicken verde salsa tacos!“
“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.“
“This place is nicely tucked away, so it doesn't get overly busy, but they do offer reservations still if you need them, so that's always a plus. The food was pretty good, although the menu is limited. My favorite dish was the wings even though the burger is the star of the menu. Even though the menu is limited, they do a great job with all the eats they offer. On the other hand, the drink menu was extensive and unique, and I really enjoyed the variety of "classy" cocktails. All of that pairs very nicely with the "upstate NYC/hipster" vibes of the restaurant. I've been here twice, and the service was a little bit on the slower side, so I am taking a way a star for that. Other than that, this is a cute place to have drinks and a light meal. First date or relaxing happy hour vibes are met here!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Leah was on the case with water and menus when we sat. Our server Melissa was attentive, fun and professional. I had the bleu smash burger thing. Very tasty. I've not seen their cut of fries before, a kind of shaving technique, really flavorful. The entertainment was the best part. Alex Gelking performed a cool mix of songs and styles. He played 'Fearless' for god's sake. Good evening all around. 5 stars.“
“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!“
“My Dad and I had the pleasure of eating at Highland Grill this evening and will most definitely recommend it to others, as well as return next time we're nearby! Absolutely stellar service from the time we walked in the door and were promptly greeted by the hostess until the time we left. Holly was our server - very knowledgeable & friendly. I mentioned it was our first time & asked for recommendations. I asked for a special drink (not on the menu); and she accommodated my request. We decided to get two items and share them as they both sounded delicious (the Seared Salmon & Meatloaf). Dad is a diabetic so she suggested an alternative vegetable instead of potatoes. Her service was spot on throughout our visit and the food was DELICIOUS!! We were both very pleased with the quality and the quantity. I've been a bartender/server for over 25 years... I can honestly say there isn't one thing that could have gone better with our experience!! 10 out of 10.“
“I attended The Mudd Room on a Wednesday during the comedy sessions. It was so much fun! I loved the lighting and the cozy feeling the place had. I definitely want to go back. It got pretty busy and was hard to get staff's attention as the space is a bit tight and long in length. The staff are super friendly. I had a flatbread and some tasty seasonal cocktails!“

“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“First impressions weren’t great. It’s a very “cozy” restaurant and the Daiquiri my wife ordered was rough. With all that being said, the food was incredible! Very nice little spot with some impeccable food but overpriced and underwhelming cocktails. I would highly recommend trying oysters!“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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!!!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Cheerful and professional service from Sydney. Great artichoke dip and nice smooth lattes. The hibiscus orange tart has great flavor, but a little odd in texture for me. A wonderful option within walking distance of the XCel and Science Museum.“
“We enjoyed every part of our dining experience at Momento last night. The employees are welcoming, knowledgeable and oozing with pride and excitement. We thoroughly enjoyed trying foods we've never had before and felt well informed by our server Kevin. We ordered three shareable plates: Meze, Brussels sprouts and peas & toast. We even left with a recommendation for breakfast in the morning. The colorful decor, including many plants and fresh herbs complimented the experience perfectly. We tried to tell everyone we met that night to come try it out as we might not make the 5 hour trip back for some time.“
“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.“
“Sushi Chef Baaska has redefined sushi in Minneapolis & reupholstered Cobble to a whole new level!Great service, sexy atmosphere, and hands down the BEST sushi in the twin cities.If you haven’t had the chance to come here yet, you’re truly missing out.“
“Absolutely wonderful !!!! Mallards has been my favorite place to dine since my first meal eaten there. The BARRAMUNDI RODRIGO a special feast but the WILD MUSHROOM PAPPARDELLE is certainly on top as well. The first time I saw the price of the LOBSTER ROLL I suffered sticker shock, UNTIL I TRIED ONE. WORTH EVERY PENNY & THEM SOME! Highly recommend!!!“
“The cocktails will blow your mind - some are innovative and like nothing you’ve tried before, others are unique twists on the classics, all are high quality, creative, and delicious. The food is equally fantastic, a small but perfect menu. The staff are genuinely enjoyable and the energy is lighthearted and weird. Fantastic place to gather together with friends or family, the Nomu Room is simply delightful.“
“During a recent visit to the Wood and Paddle, I was wowed by Willie's service and attention to conversation and kindness. Nick met Willie's high standard in food and beverage recommendations. Thank you for the kindness and meal - I look forward to my next visit.“
“Affordable upscale in downtown Minneapolis. It's nice to find a place where sit down entrées range from $20-30 and it provides a good setting for a business meeting. I had a steak, which had a bit of an Asian theme to it but was delicious.“
“Was such a cool place with awesome cocktails and food. The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic and makes me what to come again. The only unfortunate thing was that our server was probably one of the worst I’ve ever had. Zero smiles, not at all friendly, short with us, and just brought everyone down whenever he was around. Also would bring out drinks and food and just expect people to know who’s food is who’s without announcing what he had in his hands. Was not too pumped that there was gratuity added to my bill automatically because this dude did not deserve it one bit.“
“Outstanding in so many ways. The atmosphere transports u to another place. Seating options are all great including at the fancy bar, in the bar at a high top, fancy dining room and my fav: patio on a warm day. Food amazing, drinks amazing, staff amazing. Easy parking. Italian food store attached. Great for special occasions, happy hour, any time really.“
