A truly one of a kind experience in Minneapolis. The food is amazing and somehow the service tops it. If you want something special, try Cave Vin

The menu at Cave Vin is full of variety. It's the perfect place to go if you're looking to explore different flavors and try something new. American dishes are really awesome.

Every neighborhood should be lucky enough to have a restaurant like Cave Vin. Excellent food, wonderful staff, great value. Our party of three last night enjoyed every bite of the can’t-miss fries, Brussels sprouts, penne pasta, arctic char with sautéed greens, and pork tenderloin with grilled asparagus — all accompanied by a lovely Côtes du Rhône. Wish I could give it even more stars!

What a delightful and cozy gem of a restaurant! This was our first time dining at Cavé Vin, but it won't be our last. From start to finish we were impressed with the quality of the delicious food and engaging, proficient service. The mussels in white wine were perhaps the best I have ever enjoyed, and the salad of alternately layered beets and cucumbers tasted as wonderful as it was artfully presented. The top sirloin was blanketed in a smooth demi glace and served with a pat of Bleu cheese butter that slowly melted into the sauce. My one regret was not ordering the baguette to mop up all the decadent sauces that accompanied the mussels and steak! We will definitely add Cavé Vin into our rotation of favorite restaurants!

This place is such a gem! The service was unmatched. The manager (maybe owner) was quick to greet us, gave us a sample of wine while we waited and checked in frequently. The food was incredible! The pesto pasta was amazing, the beat salad was a surprisingly refreshing and delicious! It was all great. Would definitely recommend!

My wife and I had the pleasure of going to Cave Vin for the first time. We were looking for a hidden gem restaurant we haven’t been to before and are so happy we went here. The service was incredible and the food delicious. Best tartare I’ve ever had. I don’t know much about wine but enjoyed tasting what my wife ordered. They seem to have a great selection. We can’t wait to come back again!

This is perhaps my favorite restaurant. I've been to most of them in town and believe this one is the best. The food is always stellar and the staff take hospitality to the next level. Cave Vin has a special place in our hearts and stomachs. Thank you Ken and staff for all of the memories we've had with you and for more to come!My favorite: Artic Char;Wife's favorite: pork tenderloin.The best Brussels sprouts I've ever had.

For a Fun and Relaxing meal with exceptional food and Wonderful Staff, this is the place to go. It's a wonderful S. Minneapolis Secret, and there is no other like it.
Just a great neighborhood French-ish bistro. Great service, good food and passionate staff. Tonight we had the calamari (very good), the Pork Tenderloin with Pistachio Crust (perfectly cooked and a generous portion) and the Lamb Rack (also perfectly cooked not gamey but on the smaller size). Service attentiveness tends to trend up or down depending on how busy they are, but always friendly and engaging.

What an amazing place!! We stopped in for a quick drink and had to get the fries - that was a great choice! They were super crispy non greasy and just delicious! Came with a garlic aioli that was also excellent. Will come back just for the fries! We also had the tres leches and that was SO good! Airy and fluffy but also dense at the same time was really wonderful. 10/10 place definitely stop by if you are in the area - bonus if you get ken as your server he is so lovely, kind and helpful.

First time here. Low key. Delicious food. Mussels, Caesar salad, rack of lamb and pasta course. All hit the mark. Plan to add this spot to our dining out rotation.
