An unfortunate miss after many enjoyable weekend brunches. Our table of 4 waited over an hour for food (felt like server forgot to put the order in) without any comp to the bill or strong apologies. After the food was delivered the server ignored the table for the rest of our experience. Mistakes happen, but the food itself fell a little flat, with very few strawberries on the strawberry waffle. To get less than two strawberries and pay $17+ felt like a rip off for a single waffle. We were then kicked out promptly as the reservation time came to a close.

Food was cooked well and tasted good. I do think for the cost though two slices of bread for toast instead of just one would be advisable. Over easy egg was perfect, bacon and sausage tasty and cooked nicely. Service was an issue. Seated in a timely fashion and given water, then waitress comes to take drink order and flees before I can even utter a food order, let alone asking if I had one. Eventually, about ten minutes later, I was able to flag down another waitress to make my order. Then once had my food my waitress never checked on me until I was done. I could have used more coffee and would have ordered another latte and was planning in ordering a pastry to go. But not after being ignored. So that was majorly disappointing considering the prices they charge. Clean up that and this is a great place instead of just decent.

WE enjoyed our meal however while we were still in the restaurant, I became sick and am still pretty queasy. My husband has not been sick but is not feeling well. I had the avocado toast and my husband had the omelet special. Our past experiences at The Lynhall have been excellent with no side effects. I am sensitive to melon; any type of melon makes me sick. So I suspect either the radishes made me sick (there were quite a few) or the knife used to slice the radishes may have been used to slice melon previously and not washed in the time between. Who knows?

Great place to meet for lunch when at 50th and France. I liked my avocado toast but the potatoes were too dark. We loved the wine selections.

A Beautiful, Inedible Cake
These cakes are gorgeous. They look just as beautiful as they do on the site. This is our 3rd cake from Lynhall, though, and this will be our last. The cakes themselves have no flavor. The insides are incredibly dense no matter how long they sit at room temp and this cake tasted almost sour. The "frosting" has absolutely no flavor and only tastes oily...and no matter what they tell you this is now how any frosting should taste. Had there not been a cream in the center these cakes would have tasted like nothing. Maybe this is harsh, but I'm just so tired of people getting away with putting out less than mediocre products for ridiculous prices. For $120+ we should not have had to throw the cake away.

The food was exceptionally incredible. The service was amazing and very nice and friendly. The atmosphere was really cozy and cute, and everything was very clean and sanitary including the bathrooms. Overall I had a really great experience and would recommend this to anyone looking for a great place to have breakfast.

Croissant was stale. Coffee drinks were luke warm and not that tasty. Salmon tartine was very good.

Reliably good food, pastries, and coffee. Fair warning though: even with a reservation we were moved along extremely perfunctorily after only 1.5 hours, on a Monday morning (reservation at 10, told we needed to give up the table at 11:20ish). It was a bit unfortunate because we were catching up with friends and the server cut us short. A bit pricy for breakfast as well.
Went for high tea on 1/3 and got charged for their holiday set when on their website it showed that that event was already over. The manager did not do or say anything when we brought this up. Apparently on Instagram it was posted that this had been extended until end of January… I am not on instagram. Their website should show this as well. So just a heads-up if you go in January, it will be $65 pp all month.
Food was fine, we had a few sandwiches and canapés. Dessert was okay, imo it was way too sweet. Took them a long time to get us tea and drinks (25 min,) food came way before we were served anything to drink which was odd. Overall, the experience for the price was lacking. I would not go here again.

We tried their high tea service. The food was adequate, however the pricing reflects that of a real high tea experience in the UK or a major city when this experience is clearly not that. The service here was terrible, drinks were served far after the food and the overall attentiveness was lacking.
There are far better dining experiences available for the price.

Lynn hall never disappoints, would recommend for anyone looking for a good ambiance and an easy choice. The pastries are always good and the food is tasty. The coffee is also good - for example the lates dont come with excessive amounts of milk and you can still taste the actual coffee.
I had the Brie and turkey melt. Was really good and the cranberries in it were really good. I switched the potatoe for the salad for an extra fee which felt like should not have been an upcharge but overall was good. Finally had cake of the day at it was really good. Overall to find a solid pastry in Minneapolis is always hard to do, so would recommend.

The atmosphere of this establishment was pleasant, with tasteful décor and enjoyable pastries. However, I’m unsure that the prices of the meals are justified by the level of service provided.
At the end of our dining experience, the server threw the tab onto the table rather than handing it directly to one of us, which felt quite rude and impersonal. Additionally, after waiting for 15 minutes without any follow-up, we decided to approach the front to settle the bill. The server claimed she was unaware we were ready to pay, which seemed odd considering our plates had been cleared and our water was empty (never received a refill since we sat down). Overall, there are likely better places to dine elsewhere.
