“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“
“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!“
“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!“
“Nice bar seating area to watch games and order food. Ate brunch on a Saturday and got the classic eggs Benedict and a cup of coffee. All tasted good. I did appreciate my servers and how well staffed the place seems to be. Just once I had finished my food, I would have preferred they gotten my payment/receipt to me faster.“
“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.“
“The food was great overall. However, my own dish of lobster gnocchi could have used less of the salt. It's better salty than bland, though. However, the service from the young waiter with long hair was outstanding.We'll be back when my daughters can treat me to another lovely dinner.“
“My recent dinner at Spoon and Stable in Minneapolis was an experience that truly stood out in my culinary adventures. This beautifully restored horse stable turned restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance that set the tone for a remarkable evening.The menu, curated by Chef Gavin Kaysen, is a testament to his expertise and commitment to showcasing the best of Midwest ingredients with a French twist. We started with the foie gras terrine, which was rich and perfectly balanced, and it became an instant favorite at our table. For my main course, I chose the duck breast, which was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a side that complemented the duck without overshadowing it.What really made our meal unforgettable was not just the food but the service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about their work. They recommended excellent wine pairings that elevated our dining experience.The dessert rounded off the evening on a high note, with creative and delightful options that were as beautiful to look at as they were to taste. The ambiance, service, and exquisite cuisine made Spoon and Stable a dining destination that I can't recommend highly enough. Whether for a special occasion or a treat-yourself night out, this restaurant promises an evening that’s both enchanting and satisfying.“
“From the moment I reserved for a large group (8) here we were taken care of! 10/10 customer service from booking to finishing our meal. Our waitress even split appetizers on the checks and was perfect for providing the best experience possible.Food was ok, just wish there were more offerings. Very greasy cuban but Brussel sprouts were amazing and had a decent amount. The violet drink was pretty good but others at the table didn't think their drinks were strong/tasted like straight up juice.Vibe was great!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“This place is truly the only food spot in Minneapolis I crave regularly. I only took 1 star away because 100% of the time I've sat in, they forget my bakery item and then are sold out and can't offer me anything. However, the sesame croissant is to die for so I always take my chances or at least order at the register.“
“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!“
“You walk in into a small yet inviting waiting area with a small bar. If you got the pre drink package, you get a small menu of crafted cocktails or you can ask the bartender to make your own. After your introductory drink, they take you to the dining area which is a U shaped are with the kitchen in the center. You get an amazing experience from start to finish with 7 to 11 courses; you won't leave hungry. The wine pairing is carefully selected for a perfect match to each dish. The food is TOP NOTCH. They way the flavors come together in your pallet is really an experience you need to have for yourself.“
“Had a great dinner on a Saturday night. The roasted beet salad was a perfect preparation - beet , citrus, ricotta - one of the best beet salads I have ever had. The parsnip ravioli was also a winner. My dining companion raved about his radiatori nero - had a nice spice!“
“My new favorite restaurant. Everything we had was amazing! We had shareable plates, so we could try a bit of everything. We couldn't stop eating. Then, the leftover collard greens were great in an omelet the next morning lol. I'll definitely be back.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“I enjoyed my dining experience here. There was an approximately 10 minute wait to be seated. We sat at the bar. I liked the seats because we could see the food coming out of the kitchen and the hustle and bustle of the wait staff right in front of us. My order was correct and the food was hot and tasted great. The pancakes are HUGE! Though I do not eat gluten, my date said his pancakes had a lot of blueberries and the taste was great! I gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it was noisy and music was playing overhead. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is not it. The staff was attentive and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant ?“
“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!!!“
“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!“
“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.“
“First time - and will be back! 5 of us ate and sharing is encouraged with the delicious, creative “foodie” options. Service was outstanding and excellent acoustics for conversation but still with an ambient chatter of other diners. Very good experience here.“
“Great place to work from for the day, or to turn up with multiple high quality food options. If you are looking for a few good drinks or you are wanting a fun place where different eating preferences can share a meal together this is your spot.“
“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.“
“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.“
“My wife and I enjoyed a nice dinner here in April 2024. I thought the menu was well done with lots of fun sounding options, some unique to the restaurant. The ambiance was reminiscent of a 1920's speakeasy in a subterranean space with a hip vibe. The waiter was friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was very good for bar food, but still bar food. All things said, I would recommend this place for casual dining.“
“It's been a while since my last visit to Ray J's, and I've always enjoyed their amazing wings. Last night, I opted for their Monday special – a $7 burger with fries – and it truly surpassed my expectations! The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection, while the fries were hot, crispy, and accompanied by California toppings that made it an outstanding deal. I'm looking forward to returning soon and bringing some friends along!“
“This is one of our special occasion places! The food and ambience is always so great. If you have friends visiting from out of town, this is the place you want to take to impress them. We like the bar side, but went for a date night recently and ate on the dinner side. We had an impromptu four course meal that was curated by our server. We took out time and didn't feel rushed. Every server and staff seem to be in a good mood and polite, whether they are bringing you food, cleaning your table, or passing you on your way out. I definitely recommend going about an hour before sunset. PS the setting in the former monk's quarters is beautiful.“

“The U of M Campus Club is a really unique and special place on campus - full of history and hospitality. It's a great place to meet with U of M community, clients, family, friends. We've participated in family events (Mother's Day Brunch, Easter Brunch, etc.), department events, seminars, Wine and Scotch tastings, countless lunches and enjoyable happy hours. The food is outstanding and the environment elegant and inviting - the views of campus and downtown are beautiful. Highly recommended!“
“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“
“My friends and I visit Parlour regularly. We enjoy the vibes, the cocktails, the service, and of course THE BURGERS. Believe the hype. Simple yet delicious. The cocktails - you can of course order great drinks off the menu, but also, you can tell the bartender to surprise you! I enjoy the creativity. However, I’m writing a review for the service I received via phone yesterday. I recently purchased an online gift card for a friend and they unfortunately didn’t receive it. I called Parlour and they were incredibly kind and understanding. Within a few minutes, the manager called me back and they reissued the gift card in less than 30 minutes. I was prepared for follow-up phone calls and redirects to other contacts, but they made it quick and simple. It makes sense given the friendly service we’ve experienced when we dine-in. Thanks, Parlour team!“
“Went here for dinner and it wasn’t busy. There was a show going on which was nice to hear. The food options were more unique than a standard restaurant which I enjoyed. Our group enjoyed the food! I got the French dip sandwhich with chips.“
“This place is so cute and has a great environment for a nice long lunch. It isn't too loud, but there is a nice lively vibe. The food was so good, as was the service. I am a vegetarian, and there were plenty of options for me. The desserts are so good, too. They also have some food ready to take home, too. Love it. I will be back.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger, salads, pastas, etc.“
“Loved going to the location on east bank and this one is even better. Beautiful open kitchen with lots of seating. Food is always great and at a fair price. Quick and friendly service. My favorite is the somali steak sandwich and their fries are amazing.“
“I’ve eaten here. Several times food is great, service is exemplary, if you have the opportunity to sit outside your view is downtown Minneapolis over the river.Vegetarian options: Enough changing options to keep me happy. The staff is more than happy to work with you“
“Great sandwiches. Everything I had was always delicious and freshly made. Super nice and friendly owners that truly care about their community. Try the Gyros - by far the best I had in the US so far. During my time in Minneapolis this became my go to for sandwiches.“
“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!!!“
“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.“
“First time here, good food, service was good, they made a bigger deal about needing a reservation than it needed to be. We came without a reservation and it felt like we needed an act of Congress to get a table even though the restaurant is only half full. Still a good night out but could have been better,“
“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!“
“Love this classic bowling alley. Very popular on league nights and especially on the weekends. Great food and drinks.One thing I’d like to see Memory Lanes improve is the number of waitstaff on schedule. Each time I’ve been there, whether for a league night or a random weekend, I notice that people frequently have to go to the bar to order beverages or food (or, like me, just go without).It would also be helpful to patrons if they could work with neighbors to open up additional parking options. Maybe they could offer a way to incentivize patrons to carpool or take alternative transportation? Something to consider.Overall I love that this place seems to have always supported the local punk and underground music scene, has good music/food/drinks/bowling, and everyone is usually very friendly and helpful. I recommend to anyone looking for something to do with friends.“
“2 Dope Chicks has a seemingly endless amount of food options to satisfy all tastes and dietary restrictions. I ordered the Philly omelette with a side of hash. The omelette was phenomenal! Fresh Philly steak, cheese, peppers, onions, eggs, and creamy hash was a fantastic combination. I also ordered a sausage and bacon quesadilla with French toast, also delicious. I had to try the buffalo chicken Mac as well. Overall, pleased with my first time trying food here. Everything is made fresh to order so I recommend placing your order online ahead of time. 2 Dope Chicks is a fantastic food option in the Government Plaza section of downtown Minneapolis! There is a lot more on the menu that I want to check out (pizza, catfish, tacos, burgers).“
“Dive bar feel. Chips and salsa were delicious with the cantina style chips and not too hot/spicy salsa as well as delicious cheese/queso dip too. Service was quick and friendly. Bathrooms were clean and accessible. Lots of drink and food options for a quick stop.“
“A really great experience. For us, different new cuisine, made in an accessible and delicious way. The plating was appetizing. The bison, soups and yes....the snack like popcorn crickets were our favorites. A very helpful server and all the staff was friendly and nice. Very glad we went on a visit from New York. Location was pretty too.“
