“Outstanding in so many ways. The atmosphere transports u to another place. Seating options are all great including at the fancy bar, in the bar at a high top, fancy dining room and my fav: patio on a warm day. Food amazing, drinks amazing, staff amazing. Easy parking. Italian food store attached. Great for special occasions, happy hour, any time really.”

“Our family keeps coming back to Haiku! We try other places and have realized what a gem we have in our own neighborhood. Consistently good tempura and sushi rolls! Never a wait and friendly service! Great value compared to other sushi places out there, so we can enjoy more often as a family with 2 hungry boys. We've gotten takeout several times here too.”

“My favorite deli in the twin cities. They have amazing sandwiches, coffee, tea, and sweets, and a market that sells fresh bread, cheese, and wine. Highly, highly recommend”

“We chose the Mendota Heights Cold Stone to cater our wedding dessert. We were able to customize our flavors, including a bride’s dessert and a groom’s. Wayne, the franchise owner, personally catered our wedding and even went above and beyond walking the ice cream cart around the venue to offer seconds to our guests. Wayne is so personable and friendly! We included him for silly photos in our Photo Booth and we still cherish those hilarious moments captured. He was a huge part of our celebration making it extra special. Not only that but every time we go to his Cold Stone location we also feel special with the warm welcome we get from Wayne and his staff every time. (We are frequent visitors.) Everyone there is so friendly and generous with their delicious creations. They will forever have our business. They really do go above a beyond and make us feel special and part of their community. I can’t say enough nice things!”

“Been forever since I last been here. Food was amazing a little spicy but that’s okay that’s just me. Service was great. Lady kept checking on how we were doing !”

“I came in to get a 6 inch sub, but I changed my mind and got a ft long, thought that I had enough $$'s, the very nice young man adjusted the price to help me out. Jaime you have a very nice employee at the register. I used to work at Dakota Bank and you would deliver some of our lunches when you came to do business... wonderful Jaime.”

“Always very solid food. Spacious, plenty of parking, and a very broad menu. Can't think of anything particularly great or poor, just really pretty good and fair prices.”

“Decent enough pizza, but sauce is sweet. Chicago style. Crust could use seasoning, sauce could use spice. Overall, fair enough. I don’t think they were super warm & fuzzy when I picked up pizza.”

“Crew here always has amazing customer service.Thanks so much for bringing my food out to me when I made an online order and did not know the lobby was being renovated.”

“Had an amazing experience for my fist time here! I had the gnocci with cauliflower and orange, sooo good! They also have a local brewery (thats just down the street) on tap. My bartender Tim was very knowledgeable and had a great personality! The place was pretty busy when I went, but I still enjoyed the atmosphere! Overall, great experience!”

“great atmosphere for watching sports, great mix of music and awesome staff! we had Sasha as our server and she was very attentive, helpful, and so welcoming! We were looking for somewhere to watch the first half of Sunday football while eating time to go to the airport and this was the perfect spot!”

“They squeezed us in despite having a full house. We’ve been twice and both times were incredible. I don’t know what is better- the service or the food. Even the burger is one of the best in the cities. Sit at the chef’s table if you can and make sure you get a dessert.”

“Hands down one of my favorite new restaurants of 2024 so far. Service was amazing (they clear your plates and utensils between every course), and every dish my group ordered was amazing. I was a huge fan of the pork chop, smoked eel, and I still dream of the octopus bolognese. It is a bit of a pricier spot, but totally worth it (I'm already thinking about when I'd come back for the bolognese). It's a little small inside since it took over the old Revival on Nicollet, but I love the moody vibes.”

“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”

“Inspired cooking. My wife and I experienced a moment of utter sadness as we finished the last bite of the Tamale knowing there wasn’t more to eat. Needless to say - so delicious and wonderful service from Katelyn”

“I initially visited this place when it first opened, and my experience wasn't impressive enough to make me return. However, with the positive reviews accumulating over the years, I decided to give it another try. I'm pleased to say that this time around, I was very satisfied. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the wait staff was attentive. Although the dining room was loud during our visit at a peak time, I won't let that deter me from returning. I'll simply choose a different time for my next visit.”

“Great experience and even better food. The manomin latte was a treat as was the bison with wojapi. Loved the wild rice pudding the most but everything we ordered was incredible. Service was spot on as well. Great place!”

“I love this place. As far as I know there isn't a better breakfast at this price point anywhere in the city. Certainly not downtown.My Saturday morning ritual over the past 6-7 months has been to get two Cryin Eggys, eat one immediately and eat the second for dinner. They reheat surprisingly well (10 minutes in the oven at 350, then a 20-second blast in the microwave).”

“One of our favorite places in Minneapolis -- Everything is always delicious, their wine knowledge is top notch, and the space has a great vibe. Highly recommended!”

“Incredible. Dynamic metro scene with a supper club attitude. Excellent food, top notch service. Don’t leave without trying a bite of the creme brûlée donut!”

“Italian fine dining is hard to come by in the twin cities, but Hyacinth fits right into the local upscale scene. Exceptional service and atmosphere and a simple, but diverse menu of modern takes on classic Italian ”

“DeGiddios is a restaurant I had driven by several times and often looked over, bt after hearing (and reading) so many good things, I knew I had to give it a try. I went with some friends to grab some appetizers and check it out and boy were we surprised. Our hostess greeted us so warmly and walked us to a booth near the back. The restaurant is covered in televisions streaming various sports games which was fun to watch and made the overall environment feel very comfortable. We were almost immediately greeted by our waitor who started us with drinks. I simply got the lemonade, which was good but a bit sweet, before ordering the garlic cheesy bread. The service took about 7ish minutes and boy was I surprised when it came out. The portion was HUGE (a real bang for your buck) and was delicious. I should note that the breadsticks are a bit greasy, but this didn't bother me and the flavor more than made up or this. The garlic flavor was strong but not pungent and the abundance of cheese made for the perfect string pull. Everything is more than reasonably priced and I definitely recommend the appetizers at DeGiddios and am excited to go back and try more!”

“First time visitors. We will go back. We will likely share an entree next time. We just can’t eat like we used too. Great food, wonderful staff. Great neighboring tables.”

“Strangely enough, I think this might be one of the best restaurants in the cities. They have this beet app that combines these flavors that are out of this world… and I’m not a huge beet guy. Seriously, my wife and I went home and have tried to replicate it after eating there.There’s also a chip app that’s unreal. Last, the burger is just delightful. Haven’t had a burger that good in a long, long time. The cocktails go down easy. I could keep going, but you get the point. Go here!”

“This adorable cafe blends in so well with the neighborhood I almost missed it. So glad I didn’t, though! The space is clean and tidy and there are a few tables to sit and enjoy a beverage. When it got busier, staff brought out additional seating to accommodate. I enjoyed my chai tea latte and the message on the milk foam added a fun little twist. Street parking only, but it wasn’t too hard to find a spot. Would visit again and definitely worth the trip!”

“What a cute spot! They have amazing bloody Mary's! This place is great if you want to stop in for a quick drink and a small treat or stay for a full meal! I went here a few years ago and found myself there this past weekend again. It was as good as I remembered and the staff were so kind! Everyone at brunch raved about their meal, truly exceptional! Their eggs were all cooked to perfection! Highly recommend if you are in the area. If you are ever in the area highly recommend checking this place out!”

“Service was really kind and the people were really kind + personable. Food was delicious!! We got the citrus salad which was bursting with flavor but not overly tart. For the main dish we got the Calabrian which was perfectly spicy yet sweet from the lemon and fresh and the mentally lumache which was such a fun, nutty twist to a pesto. Would order everything again and will definitely be going back to try more.P.S music was also 10/10”

“We eat a lot of South Asian food, and Spice & Tonic has some of the best we’ve had in the Twin Cities area! The tandoori chicken was delicious and exceptionally moist, while the chicken curry was flavorful. Plus, the prices were reasonable. Inside, the decor was lovely and the staff friendly and fast. We highly recommend it!”

“Really good fish and chips. I love cod it’s one of my favorites. And the tartar sauce is amazing, the best tartar sauce I’ve ever had and I’m not even a tartar sauce person… don’t pass up the tartar sauce!The coleslaw was really good too! I’m picky about my coleslaw and this one is a winner.”
