Fun experience. My favorite course was the steak tartare. The “main” courses were an adorable play on a summertime bbq spread with the most delicious bbq sauce ever. The wines were well paired with the different courses. Also, I have to say, at $120 per person for the meal and wines ($80 food/$40 wine), Tenant is an excellent value.

This place can't be improved on. I doubt I'd have ever gone there because of the cost were it not for a generous gift card, but now that I have gone I can see going back on my own dime for a really special occasion. So good. The food was $80 per, but $120 per with the wine pairing.

This restaurant is an absolute must try. We have been back numerous times and they never disappoint. You can see the passion these chefs have for food and for the dining experience. The environment is cozy, intimate, and welcoming. The food tastes out of this world and I always leave so full and satisfied. Drinks are crafted wonderfully and taste phenomenal. The price is very reasonable for a tasting menu and for the experience you get there. This restaurant deserves to have a Michelin star.

I went to Tenant a few months ago as a guest of a couple of friends from Minneapolis when I visited for business. We had the wine pairing and the tasting menu. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was incredibly friendly, cocktails were also top notch.
One of the best prefix menus in Mpls. Interesting, yummy, and not pretentious

For years, I considered Tenant one of the most compelling dining experiences in Minneapolis. The tasting menu format, the thoughtful pacing, and the clean, intimate atmosphere made it easy to recommend. When it’s good, it’s truly excellent. The food is balanced, creative, and technically impressive. One of the best pre fixe menus in the cities.
But the reality behind the scenes has made it impossible for me to continue sending people here in good faith.
There have been repeated instances of the chef-owner behaving aggressively toward guests during service, including yelling and confrontational behavior. More troubling is that these outbursts appear to be tied to substance use. When the chef is sober and present, the experience can still live up to its former promise. But when he’s not, the environment becomes unpredictable and uncomfortable, and no amount of culinary talent can make up for that. I have hesitated to post this review at all, but since several more stories of similar outbursts have been shared over the last few months with me, I feel compelled to say something.
I say this not out of spite, but out of concern for the guests, for the staff, and for the chef himself. I sincerely hope he is getting the help he needs and finds a path forward. Tenant is a restaurant with heart, vision, and potential. But until that potential is paired with consistency, professionalism, and a safe environment for everyone involved, I can’t recommend it.

My husband and I always have an amazing experience at Tenant. The staff are just as memorable as the cuisine and we have never experienced anything other than a 5 star evening.
