Although I would recommend Corner Table to a friend, it simply would do no good because the restaurant permanently closed it's doors on July 31, 2019. Such a shame that Minneapolis couldn't support the artistic creations and delicious food this restaurant had to offer. Food was unique but not in the, "how do I even eat this," type of way. There is something for everyone and its all brought together so perfectly. I would love an opportunity to go back if they're ever able to reopen. We were just visiting from across the country and stumbled into this restaurant on their next-to-last night. What a treat.

Love this place. So sad that it's closing its doors. :( Took my 13 yo son for our last visit and he said how he wished I'd taken him there sooner (I usually went there when he was away at camp.)

Sadly they are closing at the end of July. A truly unique experience.

Loved the ambiance & food. Sad they're closing! The service was a bit slow but when our server was at our table, she was very knowledgeable and patient. Probably why service was slow!

Had to come and say "bye" to this gem of a restaurant. The food tonight was great! I even got to have the biscuits and doughnuts which were delicious. The service tonight was a little slow but they were super busy. Can't wait to see what's next for Corner Table.

Love, love, love this place. Sadly I learned that it is closing at the end of the month. ??? It is one if the best restaurants in the Cities. Best charcuterie plate ever. I'm so sad to hear it's closing. Food is amazing, service is great; I've never had a bad experience here. I will sorely miss it.

Went for the Restaurant Week special and it was exceptional. We both had the Cucumber and homemade ricotta starter with heirloom miniature tomatoes followed by the halibut special which was perfectly cooked and attractively presented. My companion had the sweet potato donuts for dessert and I had the chocolate mousse which I could happily have eaten two of! Service was attentive although we had an extended wait for dessert. So sad this restaurant is closing; it was a real treat to eat there.

Corner Table has, under the leadership of Chef Karyn Tomlinson, consistently been the best dining experience I've had in the cities (or anywhere else). I first came to Corner Table about 2 years ago, because several culinary friends and I (we were all Revival employees at the time) were doing research for a 5 course charity dinner we were planning. We ordered the Feed The Sh*t Out Of Me And Make It Nice for five of us - with wine pairings - and spent the next four hours being completely blown away by the outrageousely excellent quality of the food and the casual professionalism of the FOH staff. We saw then what we see now: a shinign example of farm-to-table, casual fine-dinng brilliance. I took my significant other there for our first date about 8 months later, (we then came back a further three times) my family after that, and most recently, my S/O and my parents - to celebrate her new title of Miss Minnesota, and so we could all catch up over a great meal in a joyful atmosphere. I've also encouraged several other groups to experience it for themselves, and the feedback has alwaays been overwhelmingly positive. Speaking for all involved, we have been consistently impressed, enthralled, and occasionally, uncomfortably stuffed; but always overjoyed with our experience. I have on two separate occasions had a tear or two in my eye after taking a particularly succulent bite. THAT is how good Corner Table is. We will miss this place and the people that made it such a wonderful and welcoming experience. Chef Karyn and her team leave us a legacy of outstanding quality, professionalism and warmth. - Luke

I feel bad being the debbie downer but this place is overrated. Some of the food is subpar but there were a couple of winners in the fixed tasting menu. With the prices they charge, the expectations are high and the food is not as good as their competitors in the Mpls. dining scene. Winners: The popovers were spectacular and they are complimentary. Some of them were burnt but most of them were great. The duck dumplings and duck entree were recommended and good. The Black radish salad was decent too. My dinner companions mentioned that some of the dishes were way too salty. Their fried fish entree was also not something that should be served at a fine dining place since it resembles frozen fried fish fingers someone can buy at the store then bake at home. The waiter gave us free dessert to compensate us for our sub par dining experience which was another win. The desserts were definitely decent. The ambiance is nice so we stayed for a few hours since there were six of us catching up. Come for the ambiance and to try something new if you're curious but lower your expectations regarding the food.

We had not been here for a few months and we asked ourselves, "why not?". the bite was excellent all the way to the last. Everything was excellent. We have some allergy issues and they asked about them even before we mentioned them and then we were told what items were fine to eat. Beyond that there was not a single issue. The duck was excellent by the way. The black radish was so light and such a great starter and the paparedelle was great. Thank you
I've eaten here four times. I've never had a bite of food that wasn't “hold it in your mouth and roll your eyes “ good. The pork belly, dumplings and duck form the trifecta of the 3-course prix fixe menu. The waiters are attentive and knowledgeable without hovering. So many other places to try, but I keep coming back to Corner Table and never regret my decision.

We had enjoyed the corner table in the past but had not been there for a couple years so decided to go there for a recent birthday celebration. We had the prix fixe menu and we were wowed once again! Why, oh, why, have we not been coming here regularly?!!!! Started with the duck confit dumpling, then the pork belly and last course was the duck with foie gras. We were impressed with the sauces -- really took the dishes to the highest level. Service was excellent as our server was very knowledgeable about all the menu items and described the wine choices well. Mmmmmmm, om, nom, nom!

Everything from the service to the food was amazing. Staff was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is cozy and energy was great without being so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. A spectacular evening of food and wine. Can't wait to go back!

Corner Table is one of our two go-to restaurants, when we want to treat ourselves to a special meal, or guests (along with Spoon). A small restaurant, with personal interaction with all the staff - this is our favorite type to explore. We know most of the staff now, after several visits. On our last visit, we had a prix fixe menu featuring morel mushrooms, and it was sublime. The kind of meal where you savor each bite with your eyes closed. Our favorite was the morels with pine nuts and spruce tips. I am only a basic cook - I wish I could describe it more expertly. Karyn, the head chef, is innovative, but not over-the-top. Her background at Fäviken Magasinet in Sweden comes through in many of her dishes, such as the swedish meatball, and duck confit dumpling, and it all works together. The bone-in pork belly (one of her prize-winners at last year's National Cochon contest for heritage pork), is amazing! Our highest recommendation.

The energy and food here are something you'd expect at a coastal place with a star from a certain organization. Our server Katie was kind and engaging, with a very clear love of food and the guest experience. This is on my Minneapolis must visit list. You will not be disappointed. Splurge for the chef's tasting, totes worth it.
