“Great food!! The crab cake was Amazing… don’t forget to get an Amazing margarita 🍹“

“Incredible experience. My boyfriend and I came in fairly late after a concert on a Saturday night, and we were greeted politely by staff and seated immediately. Jake was our server and he was awesome. Despite having a long and busy night, he was very friendly, on top of things, and gave us some good laughs. He went above and beyond! The food came out quick and was fresh and hot. We are very pleased with our experience. Great food and even better service.“

“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!“

“Invite your family and friends and they won’t be disappointed.“

“Delicious entrees and desserts! The service was wonderful as well!“

“Gia is a fantastic place to impress a date or host a business meeting. The food was excellent, the service genuinely friendly, and the beverage selection strong (they have a full bar).

Reservations are recommended, but solo diners can comfortably sit at the bar—perfect for a relaxed conversation with the bartender.

The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable, and the acoustics are surprisingly good, making it easy to actually talk without shouting.

I’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“incredible food, wonderful dining experience the staff is incredible and knowledgeable. Love the family owned vibe. I also love the open kitchen concept it makes everything feel so cozy and involved. I can't wait to come back as it is a true staple to the elevated dining scene“

“I was so impressed with the food and service! My friend and I had a lovely time. I don’t recall the name of our waitress but the receipt said AJ K. She was phenomenal - she was so positive, friendly and guided us on all our choices perfectly. She made a fun friend outing especially fun and special. 😍“

“Primo Plates & Pours stands out as one of my favorite spots in Long Lake. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is great, and the staff is friendly. It feels like a hidden gem in the town. I strongly suggest giving it a try if you haven't yet.“

“BEST fried chicken I’ve ever had!! 🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗“

“This was my second visit to Buca in Maple Grove. It was amazing. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Special Thank You to Cheyenne, he was amazing his drinks were fabulous, ask him for some of his specials, he did an amazing alcohol free apple drink, that had all 8 of us at the table very happy. He also took time to take us on a tour of the entire facility. This is a beautiful place, it has so much character. We will be back again.“

“The servers were running around like their heads were cut off we weren't even sure when we left who our main server was supposed to have been things were brought by different people orders were taken and updated by different people it just was chaos“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“My wife and I had a late lunch on Tuesday at the Maple Grove Olive Garden. Our waiter’s name was Shine. I talked to Derrick, the general manager regarding how well cooked the chicken was on my meal. It was cooked properly and was still very tender and juicy. The manager was very nice to talk too and explained how their cooks are trained well and use a temperature probe to always assure that the chicken is cooked to the correct temp. My wife and I had a great lunch, in fact brought food home for dinner too. Great general manager and Shine is a great waiter. Overall experience was fantastic, well done Olive Garden!“

“Had a very crispy and super delicious slice today, like outstanding pizza. 🍕“

“Went last night for Restaurant Week and had the date night special. Two salads, two entrees, unlimited wine/beer/soft drinks for $50. Fantastic meal, great service, only reason I do not give a perfect score is the protestors outside were annoying, but that isn't D'Amico's fault, so changing my review to all 5 stars! Thank you.“

“Excellent Lunch. Had the half @ half salads. Fresh Mozzarella & Veggie and Broccoli Sunflower salads. Very nice and fresh.
Enjoyed the Hot Italian sandwich. Yum!
Nice deli, fresh items w/ a pizza oven!
Great friendly service.“

“Had the House Special today and it was WONDERFUL! My old boss use to order from the Mendota one & it was great...this at Edina was just as good as I remembered the one's my boss brought into work... yes, I'll be back!“

“Curbside is awesome! Pizza Lucé - St. Louis Park
A couple weeks ago, my wife and I stopped in and split a Margherita pizza with extra pepperoni—because that’s our style. Fresh basil, good cheese pull, and that unmistakable Pizza Lucé flavor profile. It hit just right.
Fast-forward to today and we decided to splurge a bit differently: gluten-free Margherita, add pepperoni and extra mozzarella. No compromises here. The crust came out crisp, the flavors came through clean, and everything stayed balanced—no soggy center, no muted toppings.
I’m a sucker for a good Margherita: basil, cheese, sauce in harmony. Add Pizza Lucé’s beer-friendly vibe and suddenly it’s comfort food done right. More importantly—it made my wife happy.
And you know how that goes: happy house, happy spouse.
Well done, Pizza Lucé. 👏“

“Best pizza place in town, and owned by a genuinely nice dude!“

“I had a fantastic time enjoying my pizza while staying at a nearby hotel—it was a delightful treat for a Friday night! The flavor was amazing, and I loved that I could order a vegan option since it's been a while since I visited Pizza Luce. The staff was incredibly friendly when I came in to pick up my order.“

“Best pizza in MN by far. Friendly and fast service!!!“

“Stopped to grab a gift card and ended up ordering a pizza too. It has been a minute since I had Punch. Tonight was amazing! Piping hot pizza with loads of sausage and mushrooms. I ate a couple slices while heading home. The pizza really hit the spot, and the service was great as well. 😊“

“Good food. Can’t go wrong with pizza. Service in the bar area not the fastest, but wasn’t in a huge hurry.“

“We ordered a large pepperoni with black and green olives last night. Gotta say, it was one of the best pizzas we've had in a very long time! The pizza was delivered quickly for a Friday night and still piping hot! Thanks for the great service and great pizza!! We'll be ordering from you again!“

“Took a chance on a small mall coffee shop-what a surprise. Best coffee I’ve had around the Twin cities. Whatever coffee they’re using, it’s fantastic. Wish they had as many locations as the other chain stores (or at least one out in Eagan 😆)“
