“Food was nicely presented and tasty. The dessert was fantastic. Didn't have any non-alcoholic options to pair with dinner.
Biggest negative was how loud it was in the dining room. We felt like our servers were yelling to present the dish. It was uncomfortable how loud the room was with only 20 or so people in there. I felt it really made the dining experience rather chaotic. My companions and I were unable to have an awesome experience due to the noise.”
“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!”
“The staff are incredible and the food is outstanding I've never had anything like it, not to mention the bar is so gorgeous I could look at it forever. My husband and I have been here three times and we will be back again, soon I hope! This is the perfect spot wether you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or just want to try incredible food some place new! I will be back soon with my mom just because I think it's so magical everyone must experience it. Bûcheron is a must!”
“My friend and I had an incredible time at Owamni. My compliments to the chef. Truly one of a kind experience. 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.”

“My husband and I had a splendid lunch date at the Himalayan Restaurant. The seating outdoors is so beautiful and is decorated with many flowers. The atmosphere inside for lunch was quite peaceful, which is my ideal type of restaurant.
We ordered dumplings as an appetizer. My husband enjoyed the extra spicy sauce. I liked the sauce with tomatoes and spices.
The main courses are made to the spice level you prefer. The chicken tikka masala and the mixed curry were absolutely delicious. The naan was seasoned well with garlic and herbs. The white and brown rice were fluffy and cooked perfectly as well.
We are hoping to eat here again soon. Highly recommend!
Thank you!”
“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!”

“La Doña is a fantastic place to meet up with friends for beer, tacos, hablar en Español, and Trivia Mafia. I invite my friends to Trivia Mafia on Tuesday nights, and we have an incredibly fun time with the whimsical trivia. We have even won gift card prizes some times! Today before Trivia Mafia, I ordered chips & guacamole, with extra guacamole and cilantro mayo. I also ordered the steak quesadilla. Very delicious!”
“Monica, Nina, and Maxi were incredible! The staff is also top notch, we had an AMAZING time. Wonderful atmosphere, great entertainment. We’re in town visiting, and you can bet next time we’re here, we’ll be back! It’s not letting me add pictures but I tried lol”
“I didn't get food but great vibe, nice drinks. The patio is a great photo opportunity. The food smelled good wish I hadn't already ate. fun events always happening.”
“The pizza was good, very thin crust but large slices. Very helpful and entertaining employee! We are visiting with The National Veterans Wheelchair Games and it was a good place to have a quick lunch.”
“I had breakfast here this morning with my daughter and daughter in law, and it was absolutely amazing! All three of us were extremely happy with everything, our food was great and a great presentation! The service was outstanding as well. I will be back!”
“We have been enjoying this restaurant for over 30 years! They have the best Chinese food I've ever had.”
“Dexters is the best! I came in last Monday right after they opened, and shortly after a very large group swarmed the bar. Mariah and Vivian seemed to handle this large group with ease while still paying attention to their other bar guests. Highly recommended the elote burger and a cocktail of the moment!”
“Everything we’ve had from Nixta is just so good. More than once we’ve said “this is the best ______ I’ve ever had” about various menu items. Cant recommend enough.”

“Even tho, there are interesting things on the menu, I got the cheeseburger. OMG, best ever!
And the truffle fries - tasted of truffle without being way too greasy. We had a 2nd order for the table.
It's a special, soulful place, our group were all very happy”
“Amazing food. We shared 4 plates. Each one better than we could have wished for. Possibly the best Paloma I’ve ever had. The manager Natalie took tremendous care of us. Fabulous experience.”
“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!”

“A Divine Dining Delight!”
From the moment you walk into Gia, the decor is cozy, creating an atmosphere that’s distinctive .Every dish is delectable, delicately prepared, and deeply satisfying—a true celebration of flavor and finesse. The service is dedicated, detail-oriented, and delightfully warm, adding to the overall distinguished experience.
We were especially delighted that Jo stopped by to drop in and dialogue with us—such a dynamic, down-to-earth touch that made the evening even more distinctive.
A definite must-go and deserving of the highest praise. Dining here is nothing short of divine.”
“Went here for my anniversary and had a pretty good experience. Arrived around 20 minutes early and was seated which was nice. In my reservation memo I explained how it was my anniversary and didn’t want to be near an entrance/where traffic is. Unfortunately we were sat in the corner where some workers were, and was bumped numerous times by workers while trying to eat. Our server was very nice and apologized when she bumped into me. She gave us great service and was fast as well. Thanks again!”

“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!”
“Shout out to Christos Greek Restaurant and love to Gus, a truly amazing person who has kept this wonderful landmark alive and well for so many years! We have never had more delicious food anywhere! My choice was the lamb shank which was cooked to perfection, so tender it fell off the bone and didn't need a knife. Dessert for me was the mousse au chocolat (always) and having tried it at every restaurant that offers it, Christos will never be outdone. It should be mentioned that the salads are always made with what our daughter calls "happy veggies," always fresh and beautiful! the soups are all wonderfully special and "home made" as well. No one comes even close to the love and care that goes into this dining piece of heaven. Enjoying your delectable meal at Christos feels as good as a warm hug from your mom. Salut to happy tummies! :)”

“This is probably the best Wendy’s I’ve ever been to. While there is a lot of BS they have to deal with, they more than make up for it with friendly staff (Edwardo, Israel, Rosa, Gloria, etc.), and quick tasty service. Whatever the staff is being paid is not enough. 100% across the board!”
“Stop there today because I was in a rush and was pleasantly surprised, a young man, i believe his name was allen, what's so refreshing compared to some of the younger workers at these fast foods, he was quick witted, mature for his age, very friendly, yet professional. I love
burger king chicken sandwiches , and this one lived up to my exdictations”
“Taco Bell was good. Had some tacos and even brought a cow bell to enjoy while I ate (taco Bell doesn't provide bells for customers despite the name)
When I asked if they had Dr pepper the guy working said NO and didn't give me any other suggestions! Um hello I'm unable to think for myself, tell me what to drink next time okay.
Meat was great I could take a bath in it, no swimsuit”
“Sometimes crowds form around the building, making it hard to get in. The staff shouldn't be required to secure the premises, third party security guards should be responsible for that. Sometimes the staff are too stressed out when they have to deal with abnormal situations that, although usually immediately addressed, can distract them from their jobs and customer service sometimes is hindered for it.”
“Stopped in for breakfast and coffee — the coffee is definitely the highlight here, consistently hot and flavorful. The food is solid overall, about an 8 out of 10, with the hash brown being a personal favorite. That said, for nearly $3, it’s disappointing when it arrives cold, which has happened on occasion.
They're currently running the Monopoly game, but unlike some locations, this store uses game piece cards instead of placing stickers on the packaging. Because of that, the staff sometimes forgets to hand them out — something to watch for if you're participating.
Despite those minor issues, the overall experience at this location has been great. The staff is always friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is well-kept. Easily the best McDonald's in the area in my opinion. I’ll definitely continue coming back.”
Takeout Restaurants
“The birria ramen is in a class by itself. I dined at the Uptown location and the food was excellent and the service was great. Even with a language barrier we worked it out! Good service is at an all-time low so it was refreshing to be treated w such kindness and consideration. Thanks and we'll be back!”
“Stopped in for a late lunch on the patio. Was interested in a bitters & soda and the server recommended mixing the rhubarb and cardamom, which was delicious and refreshing. Followed that with the Chix Correa sandwich and a side salad. Wow! Really creative flavors and well-executed. Could tell everything was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients and care. Also the decor was fun and hip, the music top-notch, and the staff kind. I look forward to coming back soon!”
“We had a fabulous dinner! Our waiter was Patrick who made our evening grand! Highly recommend this steakhouse!”

“Geshmak! Idk if this bakery is Jewish, but it definitely reminds me of my fav bakery in NY. Absolutely delicious. I never thought I’d find such an amazing gf bakery. The apple turnovers are probably my favorite! Buttery, flaky and so flavorful. We are beyond impressed and the staff were super nice. Thank you for dedicating yourselves into making a wonderful place for us gf peeps <3”
“Guys- get the “Moses”!
It’s the fungi pizza with goat cheese, Fresno peppers and green sausage added. It’s sooooo good. Wow! Our server, Moses, created it and it was a table favorite. They should put this version on the menu! Not joking - so delish.
The cauliflower appetizer was a bit cold, which wasn’t the greatest, but it was definitely good. I could see why it is a favorite among patrons.
The Nero with extra hot honey is also a great choice and the Caesar salad is fabulous! The mound of Parmesan is outrageous, but necessary.
Highly recommend.”
“It is very unusual for me and my sister's to go out and enjoy every single thing about a restaurant. But Lynette's hit on all the factors. Pleasant, kind, and wonderful servers. Absolutely delicious food! And I mean from aps to entries and a comfortable, beautiful, and relatively quiet atmosphere.”
“Vegan East is renowned for its delectable Carrot Cake, which is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their cupcakes come in a variety of mouth-watering flavors, including Cookie Dough and Red Velvet. Don't miss their Gluten Free Cosmic Brownies – they're a perfect treat for any brownie lover. What's more, all their treats are 100% vegan, meaning they are free from any animal products. This makes Vegan East a fantastic destination for those who follow a plant-based diet or anyone looking to enjoy delicious, cruelty-free goodies. If you're in Minneapolis, make sure to stop by Vegan East and treat yourself – your taste buds will thank you!”

“I’ve never been disappointed at this restaurant. Interesting wines and great food.”
“AMAZING SERVICE, WONDERFUL atmosphere, well priced, FANTASTIC FLAVORS, serving portions as expected for tapas. Two of us ordered about 8 dishes and shared gor dinner, we were stuffed - could have had only 6 but wanted to try so many bcuz they were so tempting by descriptions, and they met all expectations!! They accommodated our dietary restrictions without hassle. If we lived here, we'd be regulars!!”

“Five friends joined me for dinner at DervishMazza. They were all thrilled with Moe’s hospitality, excellent food, and charming ambience. It was a delightful experience for all of us. We are all elderly and have lots of life experience to compare. DervishMazza ranks with the best.”
“My friend and I were lucky enough to enjoy the Chef's tasting last night at Mara; what a fabulous time we had. The food was spectacular, the wine pairings were ON POINT, and the best part was the service. From the hostess who seated us all the way thru, we were treated to DELIGHTFUL personalities and kindness. Our server, Corinn (sorry about the spelling), was so knowledgeable and fun and her assistant Elizabeth was as well. the chefs all were so good at explaing the ingredients and techniques and just made great conversations. We commented to each other many times how wonderful everyone was, which elevated the entire experience. Bravo and High Fives all around! I certainly hope to return.”
“Great experience tonight! It was my first time visiting. Robert was SO great! I’ve been wanting to come here for a while. Robert took great care of us. Food and drink suggestions were perfect and he answered any and all questions we had. Very attentive. The manager also stopped by and greeted us. Food was fresh and delicious! I cannot say enough amazing things about this place 🥰”
“Super fried chicken sandwich. Great front of house service and great bartender. My wine also delicious. Easy to eat on your own here. Thanks!”

Cheap Eats
“Went in 10a on a Saturday expecting the usual line. Place is popular. Waited a total of about 30min in line and waiting for our food, which was impressive for the volume they were doing. Found seats inside and saw open seating outside, too. Split 2 breakfast sandwiches and both were incredible. Coffee was great, touchy coffee is delicious and love the ethos behind the brand. Beyond all this, I saw 6 people working and all presented to me as pretty femme, which I love to see as a woman in F&B, and the vibes in the open kitchen/front counter space were immaculate. I live around the corner and regret waiting so long to check this place out.”
“Love this place. Kitchen is open late. Drinks are tasty. Food is excellent. Staff is so friendly. 😁”
“This place is amazing! They do not disappoint. We come here all the time before Vikings games! Chao!”
“The venue is a little too “homie” for my tastes, but the food was amazing!”
“Great tour by Cade. Beautiful facility and even better whiskey. Can’t wait to go back!”
“Wow, I have been looking for a great Indian place in the area, and I've found it! I had ordered takeout from here a few years ago and thought it was good, but Chef Latish obviously has done a lot of work to improve the scope of the menu and the flavors. As a vegetarian, I also appreciate their very large selection of options. My buddy and I ordered the aloo mattar (very good) and the malai kofta (truly outstanding!) and we can't wait to go back! Thank you for the delicious food!”
“Everything! Loved the drinks and creative, yummy menu!! So fun!❤️”
“We've been several times, food and service have always been excellent, recommend the mussels and the Cassoulet.”
“These folks have known how to do fine dining for decades. One of my favorites growing up and now I take my own kids.”
“Good variety of dishes, options for special dietary needs. Atmosphere is pleasant and clean.”

“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!”
“It is very unusual for me and my sister's to go out and enjoy every single thing about a restaurant. But Lynette's hit on all the factors. Pleasant, kind, and wonderful servers. Absolutely delicious food! And I mean from aps to entries and a comfortable, beautiful, and relatively quiet atmosphere.”
“The food was incredible and our server Emily was amazing! Do not skip the guac!”
“The New Years eve night was absolutely the best. The food, service and atmosphere was great. We loved it!!!”
“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.”
“My favorite pizza in the Cities. I usually stick with the Old Reliable because it's a fantastic classic, and their seasonal vegetable and/or the cauliflower. The budino is delightfully chocolatey, rich and not too sweet. Staff are friendly and efficient, and it's fun to sit at the bar to see the food get made. The patio is also very cute, especially at night.”
“If you find yourself in Minneapolis/St. Paul and are even a little bit hungry- I highly recommend you try this cozy, friendly, delectable local restaurant. Every thing I ate and drank was amazing and the owner was a gracious and talented restaurateur. #tripadvisor and #lonelyplanet and #moontravel u should check this place out!”
“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!”
“Thank you for superb service and wonderful food. Best lasagna I have ever had!”
“We recently ate here for the first time. Enjoyed it so much we came back. Food was delicious and wait staff was exceptional. Will definitely be back. Patio seating is great; unfortunately there was a small dog here the second time that was a barker!”
“The calamari was super! The presentation of the sushi is very nice. It did take a bit of time for the entrees, though they were very busy at the time. The appitizers came over very quick.”
“Extraordinarily good experience. The kitchen was a bit backed up and slow, hence the 4 stars for service, but the food and vibes were fantastic. We will definitely return.”
“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!”
“Years overdue, but one experience was able to define my entire impression of this establishment because the food was really good. Some of the items in my pictures no longer exist on the menu, but I have faith that whatever they have decided to replace those items with must be great as well. It is also cool to see some of the items that I had in 2021 are still around! I am honestly really happy to see it.
Pretty much everything was a hit in my opinion. The A5 wagyu nigiri resulted in one very pleasant bite because the wagyu beef, which was supposed to be fatty in texture, did it work in providing the rice with a rich flavor as well. The panzanella had multiple ingredients such as cucumber, avocado, and serrano pepper, and having a bonito mayo giving it additional flavor made the dish work but in terms of flavor and texture. The stracciatella was interesting because I have never seen salsa verde and wasabi together in one dish, and it tasted pretty good. I wasn't used to it, but I could more than tolerate it for sure. The pork gyoza was really good as well, not only because the wood ear mushrooms provided a layer of texture that the dumpling didn't have, but also because the foie gras provided some richness to the gyoza. In terms of pasta, both the squid ink pappardelle and the fettuccine ai uni were great! The pasta was al dente. There was enough crab and bolognese in the dish. And the pecorino romano cheese in the squid ink pasta provided extra creaminess texture since I mixed it in with the sauce. Both dishes were super solid.
It seems like prices have increased drastically since I was last here in 2021, which I understand is because of inflation, but it makes the dishes way less afforable now. The squid ink pasta, which is still on the menu, went from $23 to $32.5, and that's quite a bit. Because of that, I don't think this is one of those places one would visit all the time. For a special occasion, though, based on the food alone, worth it.”
“This place was absolutely amazing! I ordered the salt & pepper fried tofu (as everyone recommended) and it did not disappoint — perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also tried three different soup base options with loads of fresh veggies, and everything was delicious, but my favorite by far was the spicy Szechuan base — rich, bold, and just the right amount of heat. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. They confirmed the peanut sauce is vegan, but the Thai chili sauce contains fish sauce, so keep that in mind. The atmosphere is cozy with low lighting — perfect for warming up on a cold Minneapolis day or for a relaxed date night. Would definitely come back next time I’m in town!”
“We went to India Kutir on a wendsday evening for my partners birthday. The server got us a free app and we ordered 3 entrees to share. All 3 were excellent with the Lamb Curry being the stand out. Service was excellent as well. 5/5 will return might only order 2 entrees next time. We had lots of leftovers.”
“When we made a reservation, it said they only had room on the heated patio. We actually got to eat inside though. The patio looked nice. There were TVs, festive decorations, and lots of people. I can't speak to how warm it was, but it looked like it had a firplace too. If we'd had a dog, that would've been amazing. Our server spoke quickly and did everything quickly. The portions were very large. We were so stuffed. We had the Thanksgiving meal and it has potatoes with gravy, corn, Turkey, green bean casserole, roll and butter, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie for $29. A big full plate of food. The restaurant was packed, but not ridiculously loud. They showed football inside as well. I only gave the food 4 stars because it wasn't amazing, but everything was solid and impressive. You could order from the regular menu as well. MSP Mag had a list of places to eat on Thanksgiving and they were the most affordable and the most generous with what they provided. We also got an even better deal because we bought discount gift cards at Costco and were part of the rewards program. Highly recommend!!”

“The food was excellent! Probably one of the best! and the service provided by Brian and Riley were over the top superb. It was obvious that they loved working there and took such pride in doing it. So refreshing!!!”

“Amazing food! I had the creamy beef fettuccini and it was the best I have ever had. Service was also fantastic”
“Every time I come to Prima, I am greeted by a woman with curly hair and beautiful smile. She is always so kind and gives great service. Today was no different. I ordered crab cakes and a pasta with sausage dish would was delicious. I remembered to take pics this time but I highly recommend this place.
FYI - I did have multiple glasses of red wine.”
“I loved the food Ms.Grace was really nice and I loved the painting I would highly recommend this place”
“we have a great family dinner here, great service and great food!”
“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.”
“Fun! I got a shrimp roll, karage and Miraculum. Yum, yum, yum!”
“We tried Young Man today at the Japanese festival in Como Zoo. The line was long but oh my, so worth it. Sweet Moo was delicious, Hawaiian Shrimpy too. Takoyaki maybe needed couple more minutes of frying, but I got it, they were really busy that afternoon.”
“This is a kid friendly/family friendly/dog friendly space! Love the corner with games, puzzles and other activities for all ages. We come here and have a great time often.”
“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.”
“I have been coming to Little T’s since it opened. It has never missed. This is a place you day dream about. The food and cocktails have always been so delicious and spot on. My three favs are the burger, chopped cheese and scallion pancake wrap. Lil T’s is an unforgettable place!”
“A great area for dogs of all sizes to run outdoors, attentive staff to manage any pup issues, a great menu, and great drinks! It's a fantastic place to spend an evening with friends and your dogs without worrying about keeping your dog on your heels. There is also an indoor area for rainy or snowy days.”
“This is hands down the best wine in Minnesota handcrafted by the owner himself! 🍷Come out and support this amazing local gem. And if you come by twice… well, don’t be surprised if everyone knows your name. 😉”
“The food and drinks were great. Highly recommend this place. Tequila selection is amazing.”
“This is a great casual place to grab a drink…..or have some really great food.…or take a gab with your friends (or strangers)… they do have a beautiful community table!”
“Great menu for GF, Vegan, and Vegetarian as well as for meat eaters. Fresh and local ingredients. Open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Friendly staff. Parking lot and located off a bus line in a walkable and bike friendly neighborhood. If you liked the food truck, then you will love this.”
“We celebrated with dinner at the Lexington and it was a perfect spot to try! Our waitress, Grace, was phenomenal and so attentive to us. She helped us celebrate with a surprise photo and ice cream sweet:) She went above to help our experience be wonderful! We loved the valet option and enjoyed our first time at the Lexington! 🥰”
“Stopped in to get to go meal while at a conference at the hotel next door. Staff were welcoming and accommodating of my request, even let me have a water and tea while waiting. Food was excellent. I live in Saint Paul but will be making town hall a new place to stop with friends!”

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.”
“Khaluna experience and food was top notch. Started the evening with a drink at the bar, got the bartenders recommendation because I didn’t know what more than half of the unique ingredients were, and I was not disappointed. Also appreciated that they had NA drink menu for my partner.
Once at the table, the server informed us that we order all items at once and they course it out. Sometimes I worry things get too rushed when they do that, but the pace was perfect, and the server recommendations were wonderful. We order 2 starter/small plates and 2 entrees and the portions were perfect for the 2 of us.
Get the shrimp rolls- the texture combo with the herbs, rice paper, and stuffing paired with the dipping sauce was wonderful.
Red snapper crudo was served in a bath of a coconut curry sauce that was so fresh.
Duck confit fried rice. Love the flavors and the pop/crunch of some rice puff pieces mixed in.
Scallop entree- amazing. Came with perfectly cooked zucchini, razor thin stacked potatoes (hasselback?), and peas, covered in a delicious green curry sauce.
We finished the meal with the pistachio cake dessert.
Service was amazing, atmosphere is warm and inviting -makes you feel like you’re at a tropical destination. The small touches tied everything with a bow. 5 stars recommend.
Parking lot is tiny and is managed by valet. Plan to find a spot on the neighborhood streets.”

“This place is not inexpensive; but the food is worth every single penny. It’s unique, it’s vegan, it’s delicious, and it’s healthy. The atmosphere is very comfortable. (although the music was a little bit loud for conversation). I shared the cauliflower tacos and hummus plate and we each had a glass of wine and took the yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy cheesecake home (the cheesecake seemed expensive at the time; but I will purchase it again and again. Every taste was Yum Yum Yum Yum.). a lot of times when I go out to eat I think; I could’ve saved money and just ate at home. However, I truly felt my money was well spent! The food was fresh. Very tasty. The arugula salad was phenomenal, even though it was very simple. I need to come back here way more often. Thank you very much for your dedication to healthy, tasty, vegan food. Also, their dedication to quality continues year after year. I think that’s wonderful.”
“Excellent food and service! We ordered torta de pollo (chicken sandwich) and veggie burrito, both were delicious. Javier, the boss (el patron), took the time to chat with us. He told us they have a variety of original house salsas with different degrees of heat to choose from, we tried 2 and they were both very tasty. Everything had a true Mexican flavor! Very clean, it was full of Mexican and Latinamerican customers on a Sunday afternoon. It is a small restaurant inside a supermaket with a great team and genuine Mexican food. They have special discounts every weekday. I can’t wait to come back!”
“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.”

“I was in town at an educational event and a friend recommended we meet here for dinner. Well it was so close to my hotel that and the menu looked amazing so I went for breakfast after landing. I am sad I only had time to eat here twice. Breakfast I sat alone at the bar and there was live music - so great. The bartender Ness gave me great recommendations and I’ve never had a better breakfast in my life. Huevos Rancheros, Virgin Bloody Mary, and a side Lemon Ricotta pancake (thanks Ness, I DEF needed to try it) Dinner time I was still full from breakfast (even though I couldn’t eat it all - portions were great) so our server Adam helped me decide which dessert I would have. The caramel pecan roll was out of this world! The atmosphere was top notch, love that it’s employee owned and just had such a great, uplifting and cool vibe. I told my daughter this morning that if I ever came across a dirt cheap flight to Minneapolis- I’d go JUST to eat here again. Flawless….”
“I finally made it to Matt’s bar to check out the “Original” Jucy Lucy. Hamburger was great, as expected. Fries were shoestring and were perfect and delicious. Service was great. I went on a Monday afternoon and we sat down right away and were eating in about 20 minutes.
This really is more of a restaurant now. Because of the food, there is a LOT of turnover and it’s mostly food tourists. Even on a Monday. IDK if the kitchen closes, but maybe it turns more into a bar after that. The signs posted everywhere basically say “Others are waiting to be seated”. While there wasn’t a line when we were there, I’m sure there is when it’s weekend busy.
Good prices. They could be charging much more based on demand.
Lastly, cash only. There is an ATM on site with a $2 charge if you forget.
Great food served fast and great service. Thanks!”
“In Fargo, service is not great. i had one bite of my meal and told waiter he could take it. He never asked why, if anything was wrong, just grabbed it and walked away. I wasn't expecting anything other than for him to know why my meal was not hardly touched. He never came back to table until he brought us the bill.”
“First time there this weekend. Highly recommend. Great food. The best part was the waiter who serviced our table. It was so refreshing to have a person waiting on our table with patience, a sense of humor and a concern about how we were enjoying our meals. Dominic made the experience 100 percent better than what it may have been. Our group can not thank you enough Dominic to adding to an amazing time.”
“Great experience tonight! It was my first time visiting. Robert was SO great! I’ve been wanting to come here for a while. Robert took great care of us. Food and drink suggestions were perfect and he answered any and all questions we had. Very attentive. The manager also stopped by and greeted us. Food was fresh and delicious! I cannot say enough amazing things about this place 🥰”
“My granddaughter and I went here for a quick bite before we went to the theater. I had the lobster bisque which was delicious I would recommend, my granddaughter had the stuffed salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are from Seattle and hesitate ordering salmon east of the Cascade Mountain range but she was happy with the cook and the seasoning on the salmon.”

“Had a great experience! I was unsure with celiac if I was going to be able to eat anything, but the cook came out and looked through the menu with me and helped me figure out something that would be safe! was very knowledgeable about cross contact with fryer and made me feel 100% comfortable eating there. The food was amazing! super flavorful and the gluten free bun was even good!”
“What a breath of fresh air!! Way to get Uptown going again. So grateful for this innovative and yummy store carrying things from drinks and treats to skin care and toys. All affordable priced and interesting. The tea I had was stellar and just what I needed after a long walk. The staff were super nice and accommodating. I stop in as often as I can.”
“What a positively lovely space and place to get a delicious coffee 😊 Biking over on a sunny Sunday morning in November, my first visit here left a dazzling impression. The baristas were very warmly welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was buzzing! Laughter, conversation. It was on the louder side on a Sunday morning so keep that in mind if you’re looking for someplace more subdued. There was a bit of a line but it moved quick. I got a light roast, black, and it was super savory if you can call it that—very drinkable, smooth, round with a ever-so-slight lean into the sourness of acidity, which I like. I wonder if it was their own brand of bean, which they carry. Overall, energizing vibes with the warm-colored walls, dark green mosaic tile, and vibrant Uptown clientele. I can’t wait to be back to try more of the menu and absorb the vibes here, whether it’s while working, meeting a friend, or just hanging out. I’m so glad to have them here in Uptown. Thank you Mosaic! I’m gonna be biking this way more!”
“I am not a huge fan of Mexican food but this changed my mind. The Raman is one of the best meals I have ever eaten. It is a little odd being inside of a BP station and you order on a kiosk. A fellow came out and explained absolutely everything to the newbies and made recommendations. 100% will be back there and they have spoiled other places for me :) Great job, great food and really a friendly helper.”
“To Alex & Melania,
Both of you did a wonderful job making me feel welcomed as a local at Bar Edera, in the midst of transients & visitors.
I really will always appreciate this place as a safe place & a relaxing, easy-going place. I will be back for sure.
Thanks again to Alex, Melania and the crew at Bar Edera. I will see you all again soon for another good time.
The drinks were solid, wait time was short and the clientele as politely elegant.”
