“The absolute best customer service ANYWHERE! I can tell you … as a past employee there,,,,they do their best to fill a need but do it in a fun way! I was there for 25 years and as a top seller I can say it was the best 25 of my life. Yes, it’s a commissioned store but, they really DO see the customer. DO try to make it fun and get you what you need.“

“The food and drink was delicious and the Key Lime pie is the best!!! Christina was our server and was by far the best waitress we have had in a long time. She sweetly honored our special requests and checked on us the right amount of times.“

“I have been coming to Little T’s since it opened. It has never missed. This is a place you day dream about. The food and cocktails have always been so delicious and spot on. My three favs are the burger, chopped cheese and scallion pancake wrap. Lil T’s is an unforgettable place!“

“Welcoming bartenders! Amazingly crafted cocktails! The BEST whiskey sour and the old fashioned was also very well done! Came back for mocha martinis to end the night...hands down the best decision! 5 stars!!!“

“If you're heading to a Twins game, skip the stadium food and check out Trópico just steps away. As a Venezuelan, I can honestly say this place is incredible. The food is authentic, flavorful, and made with love. The Arepa Pro and Chicken Arepa are some of the best I’ve had, even compared to back home. Perfectly cooked, generously filled, and absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, with friendly service and colorful decor that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. This is not just a quick bite, it’s a full experience.

Support this amazing small business and treat yourself to real Latin flavor. Trópico is a gem near the stadium and it deserves all the love. You won’t regret it.“

“Loved it. Great for a date night.“

“Great service and food!!!!“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“Just found out about these guys and was blown away!! Amazing selection of spirits and cocktail menu is A+. Bartenders know their ish. Will be back soon!“

“The service was great. Definitely worth checking out. This place is unique. The drinks are tasty and had a very large selection. The chicken Caesar salad could use more dressing but was still good. Many different rooms to go to so if you wanted a quiet vibe you could have that, a coffee house vibe or a bar/speak-easy vibe it was all offered.“

“So good! Excellent customer service and the food is to die for! 100% recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“An unforgettable first date night experience with my husband! We dined at this beautiful restaurant for the first time and were truly impressed. The food was sophisticated, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented—each dish felt like a special occasion. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. What stood out even more was seeing the owner so hands-on and present, ensuring everything ran smoothly. You can tell this place is run with passion and care. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Perfect food and vibes. I’ll be back.“

“Great tour by Cade. Beautiful facility and even better whiskey. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The drinks were really good. The only downside was just like it’s really loud in there so if you’re trying to talk, it’s really hard to hear the other person, but the music was really good and our server was super nice. I would recommend checking this place out“

“Love this place. Kitchen is open late. Drinks are tasty. Food is excellent. Staff is so friendly. 😁“

“The venue is a little too “homie” for my tastes, but the food was amazing!“

“First time dinning here. Absolutely blown away. Great service, great food, great drinks. What a great experience. Thank you Andrew for the great service. Can’t say enough good things about this place. We will be back next year for our anniversary trip, bravo.“

“We stumbled onto this place by picking it at random from google. We sat at the bar and had great recommendations from the servers / mixologists. We had a very enjoyable meal. Highly recommend finishing the meal with a fresh baked cookie 😀“

“Highly recommend Mr. Paul's Supper Club for a fun night with friends or a date night. I would suggest you make a reservation as it was hopping even on a Sunday night. We sat at the full service bar with Dante hooking us up all evening. He is skilled in his craft, made an amazing Old Fashioned and provided excellent drink and food recommendations. Food was absolutely awesome starting with some oysters, main course of lobster gnocchi finishing with apple crisp. Diverse menu with plenty of options. Courtney treated us like kings and took the time to ensure we were well taken care of from start to finish! Great experience, go see em' you won't be disappointed. #MrPaulsSupperClub #edinarestaurants #ThingsToDoInEdina #50thAndFrance“

“Love this place! Love every single drink that was served here I'm so happy that I don't need to think about the next drink to order and just tell them what I'm looking for in a drink! The bartenders are super knowledgeable and cool and knows how to carry a conversation and not be awkward! And the music might be a bit loud for people but still taxable and I personally really like dimmed places!“

“This place was absolutely amazing! I ordered the salt & pepper fried tofu (as everyone recommended) and it did not disappoint — perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also tried three different soup base options with loads of fresh veggies, and everything was delicious, but my favorite by far was the spicy Szechuan base — rich, bold, and just the right amount of heat. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. They confirmed the peanut sauce is vegan, but the Thai chili sauce contains fish sauce, so keep that in mind. The atmosphere is cozy with low lighting — perfect for warming up on a cold Minneapolis day or for a relaxed date night. Would definitely come back next time I’m in town!“

“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“Went here with my family to celebrate my sister's birthday. I never got his name, but the guy working at OG Zaza was incredibly generous. We got a second pizza for free and my sister got a free ice cream sundae. The pizza was amazing and the old fashioned from King Coil was delicious. If you do your research on how to order food and drinks, you will also have a pleasant experience. Will definitely return again when visiting the area!“

“Food was very good. My mom got the shrimp lemon and chicken pasta which was FANTASTIC 10/10 on that. My dad got the pot roast stroganoff which was also fantastic another 10/10. I got the prime rib French dip which the sandwich was fantastic, however the au jus was very bland which was disappointing. The tater tots were awesome. Would definitely eat here again!!“

“The food and drinks were great. Highly recommend this place. Tequila selection is amazing.“

“First visit here for a birthday dinner. Honestly, I'm surprised this place wasn't packed with people. The food is outstanding, interesting ingredients, unique combinations, a 4 Page cocktail list, and unexpected desserts. All of this in an elegant atmosphere with a server who was always quietly checking in. We had a lovely evening and I can't recommend this restaurant more highly!“

“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!“

“Went to The Local Rumor with friends, and stayed for a few hours! The atmosphere is warm, inviting and chic! We got a total of 8-9 dishes; savory baked mac & cheese, smash burger, corn bread etc. The warm greeting from the owner, Scott Cochran, along with the attentive staff was top notch! I definitely recommend checking this gem out!!“

“Great food. Homemade taste. Locally sourced. Affordable. Friendly, efficient service.“

“family and dog friendly, food trucks daily, live music, music bingo and the initials game, beer and cocktails. Friendly owners. Go have fun!“

“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.“

“The service is horrible. Waited 20mins before getting someone to take just our drink order and it was the bartender from inside not even our server that noticed we were still sitting there with nothing. Then barley good service once our waiter did finally come. We all could have had another drink but never could since we werent asked till after we were done with food. Food was actually really good and good portions for the price. But the service ruined it. I can't recommend this place and don't know if we will back. Plenty of other places with good food that actually have good service.“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“Went here on the 4th of July for dinner,one word...AMAZING!!!“

“Cenamos delicioso! La atención y el ambiente excelente! Un 💯 para el Chef!“

“New menu coming in March!“

“Absolutely fantastic speakeasy style pub, it really feels like it has old bones. The music was fantastic and its a very intimate and we look forward to heading back when we visit next year. The food upstairs and Lucky's was pretty good as well.“

“I have been traveling to Minneapolis for business the past four years and never understood the allure of the very traditional, very simple (and arguably outdated) steakhouse that seems to be so popular in the City.

There is a lot of great food in Minneapolis but this is the Steakhouse the town NEEDED.

Great atmosphere (energetic music and amazing design), awesome food, fun creative beverages for everyone and stellar service! You want to impress a client - go here. You want to impress your wife - go here. You want to your father-in-law to respect you - stop wearing sweatpants to brunch but also, take him here.“
