50 Best Wine Bars near Golden Valley

“I love to have lunch at Doolittles with friends because their menu always has something for everyone and the noise level is low enough to make it easy to carry on a conversation with more than one person. I usually choose the Pick 2 because their soups have always been top notch and the ciabatta club delicious. I was disappointed today. The apple compote on the mushroom soup was a nice touch but did not add any flavor. It was a bowl of puréed mushroom with no depth of flavor. The sandwich while generous in size did not taste as good as it has on previous visits and the home brewed tea used in the Arnie Palmer was so weak it barely colored the lemonade.“

“Milly’s is an absolute gem in Minneapolis! The wine selection is impressive, with a great variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options that catered perfectly to our group. The food, especially the charcuterie boards, was delicious and beautifully presented. Don’t miss out on the French onion soup! Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. A special shoutout to Timothy, the sommelier, who was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect pairings for our meal. And the owner, Brandon, was so welcoming and personable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“I’ve never been disappointed at this restaurant. Interesting wines and great food.“

“This was my first wine tasting experience and I must say it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is excellent, and I definitely plan on coming back when there is love music. Staff was extremely kind and knowledgeable. Tried the "Making America Drunk Again" flight and really enjoyed both the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Pinot Noir.“

“A cozy, welcoming place specializing in small, diverse, craft vineyards. Wonderful staff and pretty space. Highly recommend.“

“Best pasta in the Twin Cities?????? Cavatelli with Rabbit Sugo was marvelous. We swapped and tried each others and I was equally floored by all of them. Wonderful service. Our server was friendly and helpful. Delicious drinks and cheesecake for dessert (ate immediately, not pictured). Absolutely will come back- hopefully soon!“

“Love this place. I feel comfortable going there by myself and just sitting at the bar.“

“The staff were extremely friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would highly recommend going here again. The volume of the place was just fine for conversation and the I enjoyed the ambiance.“

“-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.“

“Great atmosphere Great people & Great Food Best Wine Bar in the Cities“

“My husband and I chose to celebrate our one year anniversary here today. It was both of our first times dining at Broders’ and we enjoyed everything about this wonderful experience! Upon arriving we were attempting to take a selfie photo outside and one of the employees opened the front door and asked us if we would like him to take our photo. Tyson so kindly took several photo angles and opened up the door for us as we walked in. It truly felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s warm and inviting home. Our sweet waitress helped me select the most delectable glass of wine I have ever tasted. Words cannot explain how delicious the pasta was… we lapped up every single drop and were in absolute food heaven. To top it all off… we were treated to a free dessert of our choosing along with two chocolate cocoa truffles on the house!! After we finished our meal we went across the street to their storefront to purchase some pasta and sauce to enjoy at some point in the coming weeks. We will definitely be back for all special occasions and certainly for our two year anniversary. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience and meal this is the place!! Enjoy!“

“Yummy food and friendly service!“

“Honestly, really flavorful and unique food for a decent price. Google says $50-100 but for our table, we were closer to $30/each for entrees. Alot of options as low as $15 though. And the burger is a super good deal for the money ($16), it's super cheesey and fantastic. I will be back!“

“We stopped for lunch yesterday on our way home to Minot. Staff was very friendly, great atmosphere and the food was awesome. We definitely recommend and will be going back the next time we’re in Bismarck.“

“I love the ambiance (fresh, just right music, delicious and creative food, friendly people). I love the markit too - and browsing while sipping my wine or coffee. And I love the live music on sat!“

“We went for the first time yesterday and we loved it! The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great service. We will be back soon!“

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

“The best NY Strip I have ever had, cooked perfectly to Rare+ as requested. Service was exceptional. The server even suggested that we were ordering too many sides and offered to substitute half-orders which we agreed to, and the serving size was exactly right,“

“We had a fabulous dinner! Our waiter was Patrick who made our evening grand! Highly recommend this steakhouse!“

“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.“

“Duet is in the lobby of the Daymark. Service was pretty fast and very nice! Coffee was decently mid though, the maple cinnamon latte just tasted like a latte. There’s not much nearby, but it’s definitely a nice convenient coffee spot if you live in the daymark. They do have lots of options!“

“This coffee shop is adorable! Get the lavender London Fog, it might be the best ever!“

“Ordered a peperoni and sausage pizza. I asked them to cook it a little longer then normal to get extra crispy. Employees are very friendly. It was a little busy when I went, but it was worth the wait. I would recommend stopping and eating here if you like pizza. Price is a little high, but again the pizza was cooked well to be worth the high price. I will be back to this location.“

“Ruth's Chris is one of the best restaurants for an excellent meal. This is not the place to go to get a cheap meal, but if you want excellent food and service this is it. We have frequented this restaurant many times of the years and it remains one of our favorite spots to enjoy a great night out. The food is always excellently prepared and delivered to your table hot and cooked to perfection. The service is impeccable and consistent. We dined there last night and were visited by the manager of Ruth's Chris who was making sure our evening was going as planned and we were happy with our dining experience. This is the type of service that is rare to come by these days. Definitely a good choice for a memorable night out with superb service and food to match. You won't be disappointed.“

“Just got a personal Hawaiian pizza! No matter what you get...always great! The young man host was EXCEPTIONAL that checked me out ( he brought my pizza to my car and went inside to grab extra blue cheese dressing for me.) If only he knew...his kindness was the light I needed during a really rough day. Thank you!“

“love this place. Tasty and healthy food, great lattes and Wednesday night love the live music 🎶“

“Not a bad place overall. I had a Chicken sandwich with pesto, and it was pretty good. Decent amount of food and pretty good quality overall. Nice outdoor seating area and it seems like it would be an excellent place to grab a work lunch with one or two people.“

“The coffee and treats are excellent, great staff, and a lovely space in the atrium to sit for a few.“

“Food is amazing 🔥🔥🔥 the short rib was awesome“

“Lunch today for the first time at Mallards BAYSHORE - the fish fry was excellent, cozy pretty interior, service was top notch. Can't wait to come back, the happy hour looks fun!“

“One of my favorite spots in Minnesota. Delicious, authentic and beautiful food. Brings me back to Italy every time I’m there. My happy place!“

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

“Fun place to hang out with ny husband for date night. Cocktails were great, loved the piano music. Would return“

“This is an incredibly impressive restaurant in the first place, but especially for a hotel. The food was almost perfect (the pictures they have on Google represent the restaurant well), the atmosphere is that of fine dining, the prices are reasonable, and we were blown away. The service a fairly friendly but not as accommodating as one would hope; not a huge deal.“

“The coffee and treats are excellent, great staff, and a lovely space in the atrium to sit for a few.“

“Went there for breakfast. Unfortunately the bar was open during my stay but breakfast was served there. Typical grab and go stuff but the hot breakfast item they did have was amazing and really good value. I was stuffed after eating that breakfast“

“Wonderful environment, delightful atmosphere, Delicious food and extremely friendly employees is what greeted me. Definitely will return.“

“It's been a long time, but when I was down here Christmas shopping the other day, as always, I found things that I couldn't leave without. They always have the most random and delightful kitchen gadgets, and it is always hard to gift them away when the time comes.“

“Pretty consistent experience here. The food is always good, but when I leave I question the value every time. I had the walleye which was tasty enough, but it was not a very large filet, for the price you can get a larger portion in every bit the quality that other restaurants in the area. My son had the wagyu burger, which he loved, a little spendy even considering its wagyu. Continues to be a four star experience for us.“

“I don’t usually spend much time or money at airport bars, and this one isn’t much to look at. HOWEVER, if your layover has you at MSP International, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR! Sit down at this funky, bisected little family-operated bar/restaurant. The prices are low, the drinks are strong, and the staff… I’ll get back to them.

The food is affordable and elevated. This little place is punching way above its weight. As for the staff, I’ve never felt more cared for. Airport bartenders are not necessarily known for their interpersonal amiability; however, Lindsay, my server and bartender, was truly attentive to all my silly quips. She even suggested pairing my meal with tomato soup.

The tomato soup was fantastic, as was the cheese sandwich. But the real gem was the burrata salad. It featured very fresh arugula, freshly sliced cherry tomatoes, fire-roasted sweet peppers with balsamic glaze, and a fist-sized portion of the freshest mozzarella I’ve ever had in my life.

I don’t typically pull out my phone to review airport bars, but this place is really something else!“

“The wings are bussin. Also, the cabbage and greens“

“Ordered a classic Rachel and side salad. Sandwich filling was plentiful and came with side of 1000 island fir dipping but was a little on the dry side. Side salad was standard not outstanding but fresh. Spent a minute with table mates guessing the purple ingredient which was onion not a beet.“

“This wasn't simply an excellent meal, it was a phenomenal experience. It feels reductionist to say Michelle was our "server". She was more like a cool dinner party host who has everything under control - spending enough time with us to answer every question, made suggestions, and took care of anything we might have wanted before we knew we wanted it.

We had the tuna lover's sushi platter, and it was really fresh, expertly plated, and the flavor balance on the assorted rolls was on point. If you're not into cilantro, I could see how the Mexican fusion could be problematic on a few of the rolls, but we love cilantro, so it was a real treat.

A bottle of sake' was either a brilliant idea or ill-advised, but we weren't driving, so we think the prior.

Pros: Fresh, bold flavors, hospitality pros

Cons: Price reflects the experience - it's not cheap.“

“Love that they have chilled glasses for their beer, thank you Tony!!!“

“Very pleasant experience. Staff was always ready to help or get a drink. We plan to go there again. The money is the same as what I spend at the more traditional breakfast places. Staff was much nicer and I feel the food was better. Very much enjoyed the experience!“

“With a location on the second floor and the up escalator being out of service... getting there was a little tricky. Tables are a little too close together in spots, making it seem louder and more crowded than it really was. Service however was very good, and very quick to deliver drinks and food. Signature wild rice soup was slightly over salty, and was reminiscent of standard canned or frozen wild rice soup. For the cost, I kind of wanted and expected more. The starter salad was fantastic. It comes in two sizes and I went with the smaller plate - which was huge. Well balanced and delicious. I wish there would have been an option to add a protein but I'd get this again regardless. My companion had the smash burger which looked great, and the fries are pretty decent. Something tasted off however and unfortunately, smelled a bit off as well. (Came down to the cheese). They were very quick to replace the food (sans cheese) and I'm told the burger was much better. :). For a downtown restaurant the prices are pretty decent and they certainly have the timing down. Not my favorite but a solid choice“

“This is a excellent place to eat and drink!“

“In giving my daughter a YES day I needed a place that would serve cheeseburgers burgers and sushi. CRAVE delivered! Our sever was sweet and very tentative to my 8yr/o daughter. Assuming we were there at shift change for servers because they were doing cut work and we had a slight delay in table service but overall the food, experience and service encompassed a good dining experience where I would recommend and would dine again!“

“We both got the flat bread and were impressed with the flavor, appearance and taste. They were large enough that I brought part of mine home. They had a nice crisp edge and were delicious. The service was outstanding with multiple people checking in with us during our meal.“

“Stopped by for HH with a friend. We ordered the firecracker shrimp, the crunchy roll and the sticky ribs. The ribs were my favorite. The meat was tender and fell right off the bones. It was sweet with some peppers if you wanted a little spice. The crunchy roll was pretty good. The firecracker shrimp was ok.“
