Good food
Terrific service
Noisy dining room and loud music often seems to suit the employees not the customers. I only go during off hours when it’s not so noisy. If I were cynical I’d think it’s purposefully noisy to keep guests moving.

I hosted my baby shower in the Trapeze room at Barbette and got so many compliments on how cute the venue was! The staff was so easy to work with and Danni, our server for the event, was the best! She was so helpful and sweet. Can’t wait to go back!

Another place I regret not going sooner. Marianela (I think—EDIT:definitely her name is Marianela—ask for her) was our server and was amazing. Really, the service was spectacular, even just for a weekday visit. All the food, beer and cocktails were great but we especially loved the pate, fries, and Croque Madame.

Truly #1 Best Perfect Delectable Diner meals I have ever had at a diner.
The hashbrowns were absolutely delicious .
The pancake absolute perfection, light & fluffy but with a lovely light vanilla sweet taste.
The BLT extra applewood bacon on pumpernickel rye was the most perfect Cooked tasty bacon lettuce and tomato I have ever had.

The eggs over medium were cooked perfectly!
Along with all the sides.
Coffee is worthy and endless refills.
Everything a diner should be and more
Super clean, Classic diner atmosphere. Absolutely delectable delicious food.
Our server, I forget his name. He was an absolute joy, Informative, kind, and extremely efficient.. He made us feel welcome the moment we walked in. He said there was a new owner. I hope the new owner gives him a raise as he is a very valuable employee.. I wish I lived in the Twin Cities, but when I come back to visit some relatives I will for sure make this my first and last stop. Thank you kindly For all ~

My son and I had an amazing late lunch on a chilly Sunday afternoon. We were warmly welcomed into the cozy restaurant by our lovely server, Jeri. We started our lunch by sharing a Bloody Mary -- which was perfectly spiced -- and a plate of pommes frites with aioli. I usually opt for ketchup, but the aioli was the best that I have ever had! Next, we had herbed goat cheese and French bread. I'm kind of picky about bread, but this bread was the perfect texture and SO tasty! For our main meal, my son had the Croque Monsieur and I had the Croque Vegetarienne with a garden salad. AMAZING!!! Finally, we shared the carrot cake which was the best that I have ever had! And anyone that knows me, knows that I am a connoisseur of dessert:)!
I highly recommend Barbette for the amazing service (Jeri was very professional and kind), the atmosphere (cozy and beautiful), and the food (SO GOOD)!!!
We are already making plans to bring the rest of the family to Barbette. And now that Hennepin Ave. has reopened, it's so easy to get there!

Love the menu of options!

Yet the flavors and execution were lacking: muscles had a few with sand in them, frites were overcooked and barely warm, the short rib entree was gorgeous but meat was bland, the asparagus and kale were overcooked.

Our server brought us the check without asking if we wanted dessert…which we did. She assumed this “because we left food on the table”

So it’s that kind of place. Not bad, but not great either. Maybe just an off night.

Barbette/Trapeze was such a great spot to host a panelist dinner! We had 12 guests and the space was set up with one large table that we could all sit, talk, and share a meal together. The food was wonderful, and Bailey took such good care of us!

I’ve been going to Barbette for the past few years and love it. The food and ambience are amazing! I’m a huge fan of their chicken and shrimp entrees, their creme brûlée, and their wine and cocktails.
