New American Restaurants near Saint Louis Park, MN

“The overall experience was great. The prices were all a little bit higher than I'm comfortable with, however the food/service/atmosphere was worth it. The women's restroom was super clean and to dry your hands they had a bin of white hand towels rolled up, like at a spa! Nice final touch. On the website they advise that parking is limited and you might want to carpool. This is helpful advice. We were lucky enough to get a parking spot anyway, but at least we knew ahead of time we might have to scramble for parking.“

“I'm staying here a couple days for new years we didn't feel like leaving so we checked out dovers amazing I don't care what anyone says we got a burger and short ribs and fries are not soggy everything was amazing service is amazing run check them out awesome everything Corey is amazing he helped “

“Food was delicious and presentation beautiful. Savored every bite.“

“Very tasty food and awesome looking drinks! The food was really good and unique.“

“I don’t usually order burgers at restaurants because I have a hard time eating them due to my small mouth. Most burgers are waaaaayyy too big/tall for me to even take a proper bite out of.My father and I were in Minneapolis and decided after a long day of taking care of family matters, to get a hearty meal. It was 9pm on a weekday and we were limited on what was available. Thankfully, we found Red Cow.I was very happy with our experience at this establishment. The server was great and so was the manager. The burgers were juicy and cooked to order. I was super excited to see they had truffle parm fries and my dad felt the same about tater tots being on the menu. My dad got a cute little beer which was the perfect size for him, since he doesn’t drink much. I did order a mocktail, but barely drank it because it was too sour. The manager comped it, which was nice. I will definitely be back!“

“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“

“We truly enjoy our meal. Had the masa and salads, tempura shrimp tacos, sweet potatoes and tlayuda. They are were delicious. My drink (T&T) was fresh and complemented the meal perfectly. Service was very good.“

“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!“

“Our server was Beth. Her recommendations were on point. My shrimp poboy with bang bang sauce was delicious. My sister had the Cowboy Burger was amazing.“

“Exceptional food! Super nice servers!“

“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.“

“This is just a fantastic place! It's been one of my top places in Minneapolis for at least a decade and never fails to disappoint. It strikes a nice balance of being classic and fresh. With the bonus of having stellar food and service. Somehow I still think it's underrated with all the restaurant opening up. But if you want a top-tier place that never fails to disappoint, hit up the eatery!PS The butterscotch budino continues to be my favorite dessert.“

“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.“

“Don't play with them ok!! This gem was a great surprise that served up AMAZING food, OUTSTANDING service and a BEAUTIFUL color concept. We went for lunch and enjoyed every bit of it! Our server was Bobbie he was knowledgeable and had plenty of excellent suggestions for us. Oh and make sure you ask him to tell you a bad dad joke lol The food was plated beautifully and the flavor combos were refreshing and a total party in your mouth. We had the sweet potatoes to share then we each had an entree the Ivy burger and the BLT and finally we shared the brown butter cake. The sweet potatoes were yummy and the sauce went with it so well, burger was so moist it was dripping with juicy flavor after each bite, fries done to perfection ( I love a good fry especially one u can't eat naked without anything), the BLT had a garlic aioli that I loved and a fried green tomato sealed the deal and last but not least that brown butter cake with Marscapone cheese OMG it was sooooooooo good and all the flavors complimented each other. One of the owners Viorica stopped by the table after we were done to introduce herself and chat for a few. I thought that was super sweet!! Overall this place was FABULOUS and I can't wait to bring my husband back to try everything. Great concept, nice location and love the decor ❤️ Thanks for a great lunch!!!!“

“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!“

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

“The G.O.A.T. breakfast was absolutely GOAT! Loved it!“

“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 stopped by randomly tonight for dinner. The food was excellent - the kale salad is to die for, the ahi tuna bites tasted so fresh and of course the burger was amazing. My 6 year old loved his kids meal (friend chicken bites). We shared mini donuts as well, which was the perfect dessert!The service was also 10/10. Our waitress was truly a wonderful, super efficient and gave great suggestions! Super impressed overall!“

“Food was amazing. Thank you to Sarah for fun friendly service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I love their dog friendly culture. My favorite dish is the broasted chicken. They have amazing drinks also.“

“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.“

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

“First time was a great experience. Definitely will return“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We went there for the first time last night. The food was amazing and the atmosphere peaceful and cozy. Highly recommend“

“We stopped into Char after dinner at the neighboring Butcher and Boar, and it was a fantastic way to finish off the night! They have a plethora of cocktails to choose from with a variety of flavor profiles, so every one can find a favorite. Ethan, the bartender was incredibly kind and we’re very excited to visit again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a great place with breakfast and lunch and delicious desserts. The prices are quite reasonable. The atmosphere is great.This is a wonderful place with breakfasts and lunches and delicious desserts. Prices are quite reasonable. The atmosphere is greatParking: Everything is cool“

“Food was pretty good. (breakfast)Had ham & cheese omelet. It I cluded toast & hashbrowns. Also ordered a stack of pancakes. All was good & warm. Could have had a little more ham in the omelet. Server was excellent. Yes, I'd eat there again.“

“Delicious food, great service and wonderful ambience. We'll be back!“

“Great service and food , lovely atmosphere“

“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.“

“Don't let the rather nondescript entrance put you off; Once inside (downstairs), the atmosphere is nice. We went there once for breakfast (breakfast burrito) and once for dinner (Juicy Lucy - be careful with the hot cheese...). Both times the food was very good and the service was very friendly.“

“The food was very good. The service was very good. The atmosphere was lovely. the prices are very reasonable. No sur charges! And they were patient with us hogging our table at Easter brunch for two hours. (we felt bad) Tommy one of the sous chefs was our waiter. He was great. One of the best all around restaurants in North East Minneapolis if not Minneapolis as a whole. We are definitely going back. Give them a try, you will leave their full and content.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, good service, lovely patio“

“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!“

“Fantastic food - every bite was amazing!“

“The food, gin and jams, and decor are perfect. This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant and bar.“

“I've had the burger 3 times and it has never been good, always over salted and over cooked. Their fried chicken sandwich however is very well made.Servers have been friendly and prompt every time. The ambience is great, the lights are dim, and it feels cozy.The music however is way too loud. At the bar, it registers on my Apple Watch at around 78-80dB.The cocktails are easily the highlight. I've had a few of the house cocktails and they've all been top tier. They also make the IBA classics extremely well. They're brave enough to offer to put an egg white in the whisky sour and it definitely pays off.“

“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“
