“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.“

“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!“

“I tried several of the signature cocktails and they were lovely. Tiny, adorable, and tasty. Our wings got lost, but the staff was apologetic. I looked over the menu online before going and was hoping to order the risotto, but it wasn't on the menu in person. It was probably seasonal and the website hadn't been updated yet. I would go again, just for the ambience though.“

“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.“

“Came here for bingo and the bartender, bingo seller, and bingo caller were all so kind! $1 per game $2 cover all. Cash! It was packed and very much for reason. It was also sweet to see the owner around and she was rockin’ it behind the bar. I had so much fun :) highly recommend the dill sauce/pickle burger. SO GOOD!!! Great prices too.“

“Absolutely phenomenal food and experience. Our server Louis was beyond amazing as he took the time to explain the dishes, cocktails, and so much more. Hat's off!Speaking of dishes, the bison tartare was increibly good, but we were blown away by the flavor of the duck ragu in the Torchietti. We had it made gluten-free to accommodate my wife's dietary needs, and the pasta was still delicious! We didn't stop there, adding an order of the pork chop for me and Alaskan halibut for my wife. The flavor profile on the pork chop dish was insanely big, bold, and wonderful. It was such a contrast to the halibut, which was also wonderful but much more delicate. Both were great. We were stuffed. There was no room for dessert, but since we had let it be known we were out celebrating a special event, we were not to leave without a wonderful little celebration treat. It was much appreciated!Our seating was at the Chef's Counter, and it couldn't have been more perfect. It gave us witness to all the incredible work going on in the kitchen as well as all the dishes that were getting prepped. TheDietary restrictions: My wife is gluten-free, and not only do they accommodate this with some of their dishes they go above and beyond to communicate between the waiter and kitchen about the dietary needs. This shows up starting with bread basket modifications, moves into extra tasting bites supplied to us from the head chef, and follows through to all our entrees and special desserts. Phenomenal staff coordination and cooperation.“

“One of my favorite fine dining places in the Twin Cities. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so aesthetically pleasing, light, open, airy, and in the summer fresh breezy air. On my most recent visit our server was probably one of the best servers I've had at any restaurant. So attentive (and patient of our big indecisive group). And even had a whole lighting production set up to take a group photo for us. It's truly just such a lovely experience. Then of course the food is absolutely phenomenal. The flavors are so rich and complex, but it all just feels so simple and warming. I forgot to take pictures of a couple things, the basil wings and our dessert were both great as well. There is also an incredible non-alcoholic cocktail list! It can get pricy, but it is 100% worth the value.“

“We love the Sample Room - always have, always will! We had an excellent experience at the bar for Dine Out For Life - Richard took awesome care of us & the food was delicious! Highly recommend the lion's mane mushroom cakes, trout croquettes, & the mussels (personally we'd skip the sausage, takes away from the mussels). Overall, fantastic dining, thank you!“

“Great venue for local hip hop events !!!“

“The food was incredible and our server Emily was amazing! Do not skip the guac!“

“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.“

“awesome food, great service.“

“Thank you for starring Abby Jimenez! The Parkway Theater was the PERFECT place to hold her book launch-large enough to allow many of her fans the opportunity to see her and intimate enough to feel like you are a special VIP guest. The popcorn was delicious and the legroom in the seating area was incredibly spacious. Definitely an amazing venue!“

“I think its a great place but they over charged me when I looked over my bank account the next day seeing more than 10k when I'm sure I only spent around 8k had to file fraud alerts, but overall it wasn't bad it just my bank that gave me the confusion through it all. I totally recommend the place.“

“This was my first visit there but not my last!! I found the check in process very professional. The staff very friendly and attentive to the needs of the dogs. The bar and cafe offer delicious food and drinks.I was extremely pleased!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dog-friendliness: The staff is right there if there's any potty issues or rough play!!!!!Picnic area: The outdoor area is awesome.Can't wait to return and have the fire pit burning!!!!!!!“

“excellent service food tasted great best happy hour out there“

“Everyone was friendly from the moment we walked in. Our waitress, Taylor, was attentive, and had great recommendations. The food was delicious, as were the drinks! We will absolutely be back.“

“Great service! The people who work here are friendly and very accommodating. I love this place, we go all the time.“

“Awesome venue. Great views of the stage and supports local music. Tanner is an awesome guy.“

“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.“

“Oh love this place. I have actually loved their beer (minus the weird honey mead stint) and just came out to theor brewery today. (Finally). Loved the environment and people. Came out for a ladies night and had a blast. I loved that the customer were of such diverse places, that we ended staying far longer than expected and meeting new patrons. Thank you sociable for a wonderful night out! And to whomever has a minnesota unicorn sticker on the back of their suburu...... YEZ!!!! LOVE THIS! Gave me such great vibes starting the eving off. Xoxo.“

“Just Awesome great food good drinks and cool bartenders many cool pinball machines“

“Just ate here on a whim. Wife picked it from a huge list on google. They did not disappoint. Order the fried chicken. You won’t be sorry. I also had burnt ends. Prolly the best I’ve ever had. Sticky toffee pudding and banana Creme pie for dessert. This place was off the chain. Great food great atmosphere great service. Will be back soon. I’m kinda of mad at myself for not ordering another sticky toffee pudding to take with me. 200 stars. Thanks for a great meal“

“Fantastic Food, great music and the wildest bunch of neighborhood regulars.“

“Delicious drinks and food! Great service!“

“Great experience, such friendly, quick service, food was delicious, steak & mimosas for breakfast were outstanding!“

“Menu variety, good food , and decent prices. Always a place to go to if your not sure.“

“Omg this is a must do!!! They have an Italian Giglio feature right now that is just so awesome. We booked a reservation about a month out which you have to do as it books out quick! You do need to pay in advance which I don't love but also makes sense and makes it easier at the end of the night. We were in the upper part of the restaurant and we just had a blast. Not only was the food fabulous, the service is quick, witty and top notch plus they have events and small moments throughout the evening to make it fun. We did trivia during dinner but they also had music playing and interactive food stations. For this feature the mozzarella and cacio e Pepe from the cheese wheels are to die for. I wanted to eat just that for my entire meal! Highly highly recommend.“

“Great food, atmosphere and service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.“

“Such a cute place with a funky menu and fun atmosphere. Service getting in with the wait was fine, the worker was super friendly. The waiter we had never came to check on us after we got our drinks, so we waited over an hour and after he came back we couldn’t order food as it was after kitchen hours. We tried getting him to come to our table by waving and making eye contact but it didn’t work. Other than that, the drinks were good!“

“We arrived ten minutes early prior to our reservation time but were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and provided good recommendations for food and drinks. The atmosphere was a bit noisier than usual but that's because they had a big game on TV, so we weren't bothered. The food tasted great, of course!“

“Katie made the experience 5/4/2024. Impeccable service. So attentive, great timing, attention to detail! The food and drink were good, nothing bad or great to say. Positive experience overall. I'd come back for the service alone.Dietary restrictions: The bar concocted a spirit-free coffee drink for me at my request and accommodated other dietary restrictions for my friends(e.g. vegetarian) seamlessly!“

“The ambiance is warm and welcoming. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They can describe drinks and make suggestions based on your preferences. There is variety in their food and drink menus. Delicious appetizers and pizzas. Girlfriends went to celebrate one of our birthdays- the server came with a round of mini cocktails for us to toast the birthday girl. Fun night, will be back.“

“I had their food when it was catered for a work event. Absolutely phenomenal!!! I went back today to order on my own. I got the ribeye sandwich. mac n cheese and loaded chips.Sandwich -- AMAZING!!! Small, but also a decent piece of steak, so you kind of have to expect that. I'd definitely order it again!!!Loaded chips -- not so good. See pic.Mac n cheese -- just ok. I'm really, really picky about Mac n cheese. My fav is whalburgers. Most people will love this!Can't wait to go back and try other things. Have to say.. the owner is just a delightful person and the product is VERY good. Try the green goddess dressing. You won't regret it!!!“

“My expectations were probably too high walking in. The food was good, not as outstanding or as interesting as I would have thought. The grilled sea salt oyster on the way in was tasty. They brought us well prepared chicken, some sushi small bite, and other things I can't remember a month later that were enjoyable. The cake was dry and not worth the calories (or cost). The dietary restriction I indicated was missed but they were able to adjust in the moment. The atmosphere was lovely upstairs. We ate in the covered outdoor area at a shared table.“

“Went there for my birthday and had a blast! They had all the vintage greats such as Mrs Pac-man, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Frogger, etc... Way too many to list! Tons of pinball machines and they even had a really neat mechanical type of Pong game. And to top it off ALL of the games are only 1 token! So if you like any of that I highly recommend going there for a fun night that is very easy on the wallet!“

“Well let me tell you ...since I have been a level 8 Google reviewer (in my Fraser Crane voice) I take my reviews very seriously. So when I say this resrurant has the best service I have had in many years I am not exaggerating. Our server Randy went above and beyond to make our 1st experience the best. Explain the menu to a tee and recommended some great options. We had the pork chop and the rigatoni boleneas. Ohhh and we also had the sticky ribs do t miss out on those. They also give hot towels with lemon spritz on them...nice! Very clean ...food came out on time...the place ran like clock work. We will be back for sure !!!“

“First time. Service excellent. We tried several appetizers from the Happy Hour menu. Loved them all. $30 for the 2 of us. Very reasonable“

“Nice little hole in the wall spot on Central Ave. Busy street makes for easy access by foot, but not car. So it’ll appeal to some but maybe not all. Drinks were great! The apricot old fashioned was phenomenal. Didn’t get food because there wasn’t much of a menu, but smaller items to snack on. Not really a dinner spot but definitely a romantic date spot with great drinks and service. $4 Hamms for HH is excellent.Parking: If you are a driver, park on side streets and walk.“

“Best NE neighborhood bar and terrific owner Merry Xmas all“

“Everything served to our table was delicious! Our server was Chris and he was SO NICE!! We were a little hurried, as we had a show to go to. Chris managed to keep things moving and keep us on time, but we never felt rushed. We had a very enjoyable meal.“

“Great food! Nachos as well as the Waffle and Chicken were yummy! The “Day and Night” cocktail was excellent!“

“Warm intimate space with incredible and unique cocktails. I was excited to actually enjoy whiskey, and they did not disappoint. I've never had anything like these cocktails before. We tried the Sotoku, Nagano, and the Kado Old Fashioned. All of them were perfectly crafted and a pleasure to taste. I look forward to returning to try more of their amazing offerings!“

“I love whiteys and the bartender Jazzy is one of my favorite bartenders when I come back home and visit. Being in the industry I love visiting her.“

“One of the best pizza spots in Minneapolis! I've never had a pizza I didn't enjoy but the meatball and mushroom versions are my go to. In the spring and summer when the garage doors are up I can't think of a nicer place to have a meal.“

“Food was very good, staff was very helpful, and drinks were excellent!“

“Food was good but it was super slow service, there were maybe 5 tables in the whole restaurant at the time we got there. The waiter just did not seem to care about the tables either, just very lackadaisical. There were only 2 tables in his section when we got there, he checked on us once after our order.“
