The food was outstanding from start to finish ( presentation, flavor profile, texture, all natural and full of character). There’s not a place that’s more unique than Owamni in Minnesota, in my opinion . I highly recommend this establishment, and I wish you prosperity and success.“

“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“

“I drove by this hidden gem weeks ago and finally was able to stop in for lunch today. I gotta say that this is some of the best tasting food I have experienced in Minnesota since returning home. I tried the Picadillo meal which was perfectly seasoned and not over salted like some places do. The rice was a perfect consistency and a freshy made salsa added a little kick to the meal. The customer service was top notch and I will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. A+++“

“The soup was exceptionally tasty. I would definitely return.“

“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.“

“Everything! Loved the drinks and creative, yummy menu!! So fun!❤️“

“Everything we had was great! Normally we enjoy steak but this was a great change that he and I both enjoyed! Friendly staff also at the bar!“

“I am sure many reviews begin this way, but it’s true here: I rarely write reviews. We visited the Rochester location on 5/18, and we were immediately pleasantly greeted. The entire menu looks so tasty, so I ended up ordering a Wedge Salad, the Five Cheese Macaroni & Cheese to split, and a 60/40 with Truffle Fries. I LOVE Wedge salads, but this one, this one was special - the most delicious wedge salad I’ve ever eaten. The addition of the dill was unexpected but soooo welcome. The macaroni portion, even as split, was so generous and very tasty. The truffle fries were very flavorful, and the burger - I am ashamed to say I can’t attest to it because my eyes were much larger than my stomach & I had to take it to go. The rest of the crew with me all agreed their food was also delicious. If we ever have the fortune to travel back to the area, we agreed we would all come back to Red Cow. Our service was also top notch, I wish I could remember our server’s name. She was very sweet!“

“Young Joni offers an a superb dining experience in all aspects - cocktails are fantastic, service is excellent and the food is creative and outstanding. We appreciate the variety of offerings on the menu including some very unique combinations in flavors. And...it is always such a special touch when Chef Kim brings the food to the table!“

“No place like it. Have been going since I was 12. Best blueberry pancakes in the world“

“Si buscas auténtica comida mexicana, este lugar es el indicado. 🇲🇽 Sus tacos son simplemente deliciosos, con carne jugosa y sabrosa. ¡Altamente recomendado! 🌮👍🏼“

“My favorite summer restaurant! Some favorites: fried oyster basket, fried fish, tacos, catfish po’boy“

“😍In love with this cozy neighborhood spot“

“I’ve eaten here before many years ago but they recently did a big marketing push and it got my attention. They had a Bogo deal so I grabbed a Jalapeño burger and a Turkey burger as well. Both were super tasty.

The pickup was immaculate and the young lady who greeted me and handed me my order had a genuine smile and looked like she was enjoying her work. The cooks were hard at but joking around with each other and seemed genuinely happy to be there.

I’m going to do my best to get back here as soon as I am able.“

“Myself and four friends were in Minneapolis for a few days on a visit from Ireland and had breakfast here a few times. Food was delicious. Great choice on the menu. Service was brilliant. Staff friendly and efficient.“

“came to eat dinner with friends. it was a 10/10, it was a wonderful experience. the staff was friendly and the food was delicious.“

“always tasty and quality. love the friendly and quick staff. Vietnamese coffee can be too sweet for me but they'll adjust it for you.“

“Really nice place to spend time with friends.“

“I recently went in with my girlfriend and we had a server named Kat. She was incredible everytime I could even think of anything to ask for she was already bringing it, never needed a refill and also never seemed like she was ever interrupting. If there is better service out there I have never had it!“

“first time here. the employees are very friendly. The food is outstanding! definitely give it a try!“

“If you love old world supper clubs. The "Lex" is for you. Sadly I can not give it 4 stars until they up their game and get an espresso machine. Imagine a beautiful brass Espresso machine sitting behind the bar! Anyone who remembers the old Williams Cafe in Uptown knows what I am talking about. I can't think of another restaurant in their price range that does NOT offer Espresso in the Mpls-St. Paul area.“

“Best bar in town for things European and off the beaten path. Absolutely amazing selection! Not a full kitchen/restaurant but very far from the minimum. Everything they have to eat is high quality. Very nice employees and great atmosphere.“

“This is the best Thai food around! I’ve never been disappointed in the food, and the service is always amazing. Super fast pick up times for take out, and a beautiful patio for summer. This is my ultimate favorite St. Paul restaurant. Don’t miss out on this gem. Menu highlights for me are Pad Krapao, Laab Isaan, curry fried rice and Pad Woon Sen! 😋“

“Food was amazing and staff were friendly and accommodating. Had the mushroom pizza and a salad with a coworker . Loved the casual atmosphere outdoors with some shade to sit—you can’t dine in essentially as all seating is outdoors which myself and coworkers appreciated .A nice lunch break from the typical work environment. Will definitely be going back again.“

“Hyacinth is a keeper. Creative food, well prepared, small but extremely well chosen wines. Portions were large, a bit too large in my view. Hyacinth is one of the few restaurants in the post Covid dining world that is daring to show us how innovative dining can be done.“

“Cultivated skill of fine dining meets dive bar. Bull’s Horn is something in between. Reasonably priced for dishes created by a culinary chef who makes his very own house made bologna and cheeses. His subtle cooking techniques results in extraordinary taste and texture that the unrefined tastebud may miss. Great food coupled with great service drove my family to stop here twice during our weekend trip to Minneapolis. Here are our must tries: Cheese Curd: Lightly battered and geniusly paired with thousand island dressing which breaks up the acidity of the cheese and brings out the rich creamy cheese flavor. Bologna Sandwich: Not from your childhood! This homemade recipe marries a blend of spices that makes your tastebuds dance. Lightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside…assembled with homemade American cheese, a slice of crisp white onion on toasted white bread… the best I’ve had in my life! Chicken Gizzards: Technique, technique, technique. I can only wonder the effort and preparation on the front end that makes these gizzards so, so tender. Lightly battered and minimal frying time leave these gizzard with a “cut with a folk” and “melt in your mouth” texture that I have never experienced before.“

“Amazing atmosphere and the food was incredible. I had manciotti with the homemade meatballs and they were outstanding. Amazing food and service“

“Thank you for superb service and wonderful food. Best lasagna I have ever had!“

“Absolutely fabulous! I moved from Europe 3 months ago and started to miss some of the European food. This place is IT! We went there twice, 1st time I ordered pizza - legit with fluffy crust! 2nd time I got Croque Madame and they nailed it too! Prices are reasonable, service amazing and plenty of room for parking. My new favorite place when I get home sick! ❤️ Thank you!“

“We hosted our son's first birthday party at Minneapolis Cider Company. The entire experience was five stars - from the friendly staff to the food and cold cider. We highly recommend having your event here or simply stopping in for a drink and pickleball.“

“We had an amazing time! The drinks alone were so good. Our server taught us how to eat the food correctly, and the vibes all around were amazing. We didn't eat much but what we tried was delicious. Brought the rest of the food home for dinner. Definitely a 10/10. The restaurant was also very clean and has nice decor as well. Perfect for a date night.“

“The Miso was delicious, the menu is not specific enough or maybe I don’t eat enough sushi to know. When I read “7 assorted sushi” I think the typical ones like a sushi roll, no all huge slices of raw fish. It wasn’t the servers fault so I just gave it to my friends, paid the bill and left. I think if you’re super into the raw fish texture you’d love this place, it was the largest slices of fish I’ve seen served that way.“

“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.“

“Delicious food, great service and open earlier than most other places. Highly recommend the apple fritter French toast.“

“Jimmy the Server made our entire experience! We would come back to just visit Jimmy. Engaging, very polite, & accommodating to all our extra requests. FYI, highly recommend the hash browns & cranberry mimosa!! #teamjimmy“

“Lovely atmosphere with great staff and fabulous cider! Watching the younger generation curling was so fun!“

“Went there today for the first time. Great food, chef kissed delicious! Great service, friendly atmosphere. Wish my youngests food came out at the same time as the other 4 of us (his came out 10 minutes later and he’s 2) but portions were so big we had enough of our food to share as he didn’t eat his when it finally came. Otherwise delicious and would definitely recommend“

“This place is great! The food is delicious and the people are nice!

The only complaint is the parking lot size. There is barely enough room to maneuver. I hope there's some way to make it a bit bigger.

In the mean time, I suggest to anyone who wants to eat here to bring someone with you to help you park!“
