Milly's Wine Bar & Bistro

We have reservations to come here with friends in a couple weeks' time, but as we were in the neighborhood today, we decided to drop by and check it out. It was a sunny Wednesday afternoon and we managed to get parking on the street right outside. They were busy but offered us a place on the outdoor patio. Service was friendly and efficient, with a knowledgeable sommelier too. Food was awesome - lots of small plates to pick from. Wine, as you'd expect from a wine bar, was excellent. In addition to a comprehensive wine list, they have some fun offerings, like the trio of half flutes of sparkling wine I chose: you get a prosecco, a domestic sparkling wine and a champagne, and you have to guess which is which. They do a similar wine pairing too, with 2 half glasses of red or white wine - and again you can try to figure out which wine matches the description you read on the menu. The burrata was very tasty, as was the mini cheese board. Overall, the place has a relaxed vibe and friendly staff, with great food. So glad we already have reservations to return soon - I have a feeling this will become a favorite spot for us!

Good food, and even better wine selection. Ask for Timothy, the sommelier. He knows his stuff.

Would avoid this place like the plague during Viking Sundays. Watch 3 different groups of people walk out after they sat over 45 mins and no food. We were suckers....arrived 2 hrs early, waited 1.5 hrs to get 1/2 of the order, waited an unbelievable amount of time to even get a glass of wine. The food that did arrive was flavorful, not sure I would gush over it the way some have described it.

Wow!!!!! Everything about this place was thoughtful, fun, and so welcoming. Every single member of staff that we talked to was amazing and so knowledgeable, and our server took the time to have actual conversations with us as well as helping us decide on menu items. Not to mention the FOOD! I was also so impressed at the number of N/A drink options. Will be back again and again!

Milly’s Wine Bar in Minneapolis is a gem! The atmosphere is absolutely perfect for a girls’ night out. We enjoyed delicious charcuterie boards and a fantastic selection of wines. The highlight was the unique double wine pairing experience, where we got to taste two wines of a similar profile and guess which was which. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even more memorable. I highly recommend it!

We had a special afternoon at Milly’s! The assortment and quality of food was fantastic, and the drinks were delicious. Our very knowledgeable waiter made some great recommendations, and the 5-year-old Rioja was out-of-this world. It was a very enjoyable occasion.

This place is beautiful! They were able to accommodate our group of 11 with a reservation for my birthday. Everything about the experience was wonderful! Our server was Tanner - very kind and funny. We tried a variety of menu items, Caesar salad, pulled chicken, the flatbreads, the Somm board, as well as the dessert board. I can't describe their wine list, just GO and know there is something perfect for everyone!

I love coming here for wine. The duo comparison glasses are a fun way to learn a bit more about wine! Typically i have gotten charcuterie boards here but i got sliders this time and i they were good too.
