“food was amazing, I reccomend the prime rib dip. drink were perfectly proportionate. bartenders jackson and jake went above and beyond, drink never went empty and my food came before my girl does.“

“Really great food, service, and ambience. Prices are a little on the high end but for the overall experience, it's likely worth it. We were there for a special occasion and for that, it was perfect. (The place would be even more gorgeous after dark.)“

“We were here for dinner over the weekend and everything about this place was phenomenal we tried multiple things off of the to share or not portion of the menu and loved every bit of it. The whole grilled fish our waitress mentioned rotates depending on what is available fresh and it was cooked to Perfection and probably our favorite thing all weekend. The cocktail menu is unique and everything that we had the opportunity to try was delicious I highly recommend doing the cocktail flight to anybody who doesn't have a favorite spirit. Staff was incredibly friendly and knew what they were talking about if you had questions. To those looking at going here reservations are a must!!!! Great atmosphere as well“

“This our first time in MN for appointments at Mayo Clinic. The staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. 😋“

“We had a fantastic date night at Joan’s! Highly recommend! The food was incredible. Perfect pacing, portions, wine pairings, and the flavors have you closing your eyes to experience each bite. One of the best meals we have ever had. Our server was thoughtful and friendly. Great dining atmosphere. We will be back!“

“It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place you think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... 🍹: Xochitl In Love 🍸: La Clandestina 🐟: Tuna Tostada 🌮: Chicken Tinga Tostada 🦪: Seared Scallops 🫓: Tlayuda 🥃: Colita Old Fashioned 🥩: Lamb Barbacoa Tacos 🫔: Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!“

“this was the most wonderful dining experience i've had in a long time. my server was fantastic and the food was incredible. i will be thinking about the burrata toast for a long long time. highly recommend. it was packed and busy on a wednesday night and i'm glad i had a reservation. i might suggest that if you are visiting. highly highly recommend!“

“If you haven’t already been, you need to! Minute chicken, wood fire pizzas, banana cream pie!!! So good 🤤“

“-Vinai MN- My friend and I wanted to try Chef Yia's restaurant due to being homesick and wanting hmong food. We were met with such great service and sat where we could see the work area. Chef Yia was so kind and started us off with a complimentary appetizer, rice Curry balls. We ordered and the food came so fast. As soon as I took a bite, my eyes started to get teary because it tasted like food from home. I started fanning myself to not cry which Chef Yia saw and asked if the food was too spicy. We then started to explain that we were not from MN and were feeling a bit homesick and how the food reminded us of home. Chef Yia then said, here let's do this. He returned with a pot of beef soup that consisted of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, beef and green onion and white rice and shared that this dish was one of those dishes that we would eat at gathering and events. We we so shocked and so at loss with his kindness and compassion. We both took a bite and immediately lighted up. It tasted like my mom's cooking 💓. As we were nearing the end of our meal, Chef Yia told us not to stuff ourselves too full and surprised us with a complimentary dessert which further awed us. We were so lost at words for Chef Yia's kindness, generosity and comfort. We chose the Lava Cake and it was soooo good! I normally don't like sweets but we devoured this 😋. 1000/10 would recommend.“

“We had a fabulous dinner with another couple. Food was great, table was great, service was very good. Disappointed that no staff told us that 26% charges were automatically included. My fault for not inspecting the itemized bill closer i would have expected staff to share that a 21% gratuity was already included (not to mention an additional “administrative “ fee was also included) before I added an additional 20% gratuity.“

“Great service staff, incredible food, great mission. Highly recommend!!“

“We hired Brasa Catering for our wedding and couldn't happier with the food and service they provided. We received multiple comments that it was "one of the best wedding meals they've had" from a few guests. Not only was the food delicious, but the crew was extremely kind and went above and beyond for us. Thank you again for everything, we'll keep you in mind for future events!“

“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!“

“Restaurant is amazing! Steady Eddie every time. Creative, well crafted, beautifully curated pre fixe tastings. Highly recommend!“

“Food, atmosphere, and drinks were all fantastic. The Owner/Chef Joel has created something special at this gem nestled in a Minneapolis neighborhood. We had a large party for a friends pre-wedding dinner and the staff handled it great. From the apps to the desert, you can’t go wrong with anything you pick off the menu. We were all tasting each others food by the end of the night wanting to try EVERYTHING! Some have stated a smaller menu and prices, but then say the food blew them away…I for one like to pay to keep amazing food and ingredients an option. Can’t wait to bring my wife and other family members in the Twin Cities to do it again.“

“Liv was our server and she was AMAZING! She took great care of us and made great recommendations. We shared the smoked walleye dip which was delicious. I had the Skirt Steak & Frites. Very flavorful! We shared the sundae which was so good. The best ice cream we’ve ever had. The manager stopped by to say hello before we left. Great experience. Will definitely come back!“

“Una experiencia inolvidable! Celebré mi cumpleaños en Fusion Pancake House & Bistro y no puedo estar más agradecida. Claudia la encargada, organizó un espacio para 22 personas con tan solo un día de anticipación, lo cual fue un detalle increíble. Además, tuvieron el gesto de invitarme el desayuno por mi cumpleaños. Desde el servicio hasta la atención al detalle, todo fue impecable. Se nota el compromiso del restaurante por hacer que sus clientes se sientan especiales. Sin duda, regresaré pronto. Gracias por todo!😊💕“

“Papas Bravas 😍 u must try them.“

“Nice restaurant. Great service and good food. The salt and pepper mushrooms were good and the portion was larger than i had expected. Steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The desert was amazing, the sweet corn cream pot was so good. It really made the meal.“

“Great atmosphere! So many people having a great time. Ordered the Dragon's Milk Braised Beef Ribs with snap peas and mash. So good! So tender and flavorful! Gravy was chef's kiss!“

“Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — and honestly, I’d give it six if the people-watching counted as a side dish. Baldamar in Roseville just gets it. The ambiance? Beautiful. The service? Beautiful. The food? Consistently hits the spot every single time. It’s one of those places where you know exactly what you’re going to get—and it never disappoints. Now let’s talk about the real hidden gem: the weekday lunch crowd. If I were single and in the market for a finance daddy… this would be my hunting ground 😂. We’re talking tables full of businessmen, power lunches, suits everywhere—it’s like a live-action LinkedIn feed, and I’m here for it. Dinner is a whole different vibe. I’ve only been once, but wow, low lighting, a little moody, very date-night energy. Whether it’s a first date or you’ve been together forever, it just works. It’s cozy, a little sexy, and feels intentional without trying too hard. Service is always on point, you’ll even catch the manager making rounds, which says a lot. And the food? My go-to is the lobster roll (don’t overthink it, just order it). Also… prepare yourself for the desserts. When they say “to share,” they mean with your entire table… and possibly the table next to you. These things are massive. Cocktails are another win. I’m loyal to the Godfather,Scotch whiskey with amaretto, and I get it up instead of on ice. Smooth, strong, and exactly what I want every time. Bottom line: whether you’re there for lunch, a date, or just some elite-level people-watching, Baldamar delivers.“

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️“

“I have only eaten one thing repeatedly and it is excellent, their burger. I can’t speak to anything else on the menu. Service is fine, but sometimes laid back to the point of indifference. Atmosphere might be a little too trendy and hip for some people, but the space is attractive and well situated especially when going to see a show at Latte Da.“

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

“While staying at the Marquette Hotel, we ordered a quick meal for pickup, and everything was delicious.

For starters, I showed up probably 10 minutes early for my pickup time, and they were ready. Definitely seems like their kitchen operates quickly!

We got the Ghost Pepper rubbed chicken wings and the Bibimbap bowl. I'm always skeptical that something advertising ghost pepper will only be a little spicy, and it's just an advertising gimmick. But these wings packed a really nice kick. The bibimbap was a nice combination of balanced flavors as well, for a really satisfying meal.

The restaurant interior looked inviting, though I concede I was only inside for a few minutes.“

“They were a hit at our event! 100% Recommend“

“Visiting Pittsburgh and this was a great stop with a friendly staff (Kudos Tyrone) and great drinks! Fun time with the putt putt (beat my husband). If in Pittsburgh area this is a must stop!“

“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.“

“Excellent service! Abbi W was our server and she made the dinner so much better! Good food doesn’t matter without good service. We will definitely be back and ask for Abbi!“

“Best restaurant in St Paul, food is amazing and service was outstanding. Can't wait to go back.“

“I had such a great experience at Puttshack thanks to Ashleigh and Angel! They were both so sweet, kind, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Their positive attitudes and excellent customer service made our visit even more enjoyable. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, and it really showed. Puttshack is lucky to have such wonderful employees. Thank you, Ashleigh and Angel, for making our experience so memorable!“

“Best food in Mpls! Great staff/service. Chef is AMAZING!“

“Great music in an old school club.“

“I have been here three times, funny I don’t have photos of the food… it’s that good that it disappears quickly! Every time I have ordered something different, very unlike me as I marry with a certain dish in each restaurant, but here I’ve risk to try something new every time and haven’t regret it! One of the few places that I have been with all my daughters as adults (since we all live in different states)“

“Amazing food, good service, lovely patio“

“We were looking for a place for an anniversary brunch, and found this. Great patio seating, view of the lake (we’re going for a walk around the lake when we finish), fantastic food. We split a dish and it was plenty. And they do a refill on drip coffee.

We are 100% satisfied and will return!“

“Loved this place. Great food and service“

“This was the best experience ever I came down here for a concert and the service was amazing Jess and Steph were on it!! They were busy but never failed to check in on us and had drinks for us before ours even ran out. Amazing service and amazing food definitely recommend!!“

“Great food and service!! Best peanut butter that I have ever tasted also!!“

“Great cocktails and brunch in a fun, comfortable atmosphere. Our bartender was friendly and they have a nice, dog friendly patio. Will definitely go back!“

“We had an awesome first experience at Char Bar. The vibe was cozy and perfect for a date night. The bartenders, drinks and food were all great. So glad we tried it out!“

“I got the Bison Back Ribs served over polenta with a gastrique (that was a new one to me). Surprising to me, the polenta and gastrique stole the spotlight. I also got to try my friend's Ribeye Bolognese. It was hard to say which was better“

“Great people who aren’t afraid to stand on the right side of history. Thank you for doing your part!“

“The staff are the highlight, great bartenders and great drinks!“

“You guys Rock... in every way!!! 💖 👍“

“I love the Steak and eggs!!!!“

“The sushi has been better in the past. Seemed hastily rolled as many fell apart. The server was great, no complaints there. We did mention when making the reservation in open table that we were celebrating a birthday. It was never brought up. Everything tasted great and refillable drinks were brought without asking. Love that.“
