New American Restaurants near Minnetonka, MN

“The chicken Parmesan and asada bowl are some my favorite dishes here. The Happy hour Buy 1 Get 1 for $1 is the best in the area. I typically come because bartender Julieta is awesome and fast with drinks.“

“First time here and I highly recommend it. Great food and big portions for your money. Will return!!“

“Blue Birch is a hidden gem! I came on a Friday evening and was pleasantly surprised by the live music, it created the perfect vibe for a relaxing night out. The setting is beautiful, with a charming fountain and a small pond that make the outdoor dining experience feel peaceful and unique. The food was just as impressive fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you’re out for a date night or just want to unwind with good food and atmosphere, Blue Birch is definitely worth a visit!“

“Awesome kindness! Such amazing people ❤️“

“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.“

“Highly recommend! Logan, our sever was attentive and helpful with food recommendations. The food was top notch! I had the Thai pork chop meal... the pork chop was cooked to perfection and the cauliflower fried rice vegetables were delicious. My friend had the salmon and said it was fabulous. For dessert we tried the cheesecake brûlée. An added bonus it is gluten free. My only complaint is that we were seated by the door and every time it opened it got very cold.“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“Amazing food. We shared 4 plates. Each one better than we could have wished for. Possibly the best Paloma I’ve ever had. The manager Natalie took tremendous care of us. Fabulous experience.“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“Great place for small get togethers but not not weddings unless it’s very small“

“Great service. For the most part my food was good, I had a special request about taking out a certain ingredient and it didn't happen. A bit noisy for a conversation. Overall it is a good place to eat. We have been there several times.“

“We recently ate here for the first time. Enjoyed it so much we came back. Food was delicious and wait staff was exceptional. Will definitely be back. Patio seating is great; unfortunately there was a small dog here the second time that was a barker!“

“This is a excellent place to eat and drink!“

“Our first time here. Our server was amazing and the food came out fast and was good. Our only complaint was how rude and condescending one of the hostess was. Sydney was extremely rude multiple times to me and my mom. I was more upset of how she talked to my mom. Her name was Sydney and we were not the only one she was rude to. It was a shame since the rest of our time was a 10/10.“

“This our first time in MN for appointments at Mayo Clinic. The staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. 😋“

“Food was amazing, prompt service, and fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“Food was very good. My mom got the shrimp lemon and chicken pasta which was FANTASTIC 10/10 on that. My dad got the pot roast stroganoff which was also fantastic another 10/10. I got the prime rib French dip which the sandwich was fantastic, however the au jus was very bland which was disappointing. The tater tots were awesome. Would definitely eat here again!!“

“Great experience, such friendly, quick service, food was delicious, steak & mimosas for breakfast were outstanding!“

“Food and service were great! Busy night and was loud enough it was hard to hear conversation. We were in a smaller space in the restaurant, and the other tables were having loud conversation - I hadn't run into this before but was hard to hear.“

“This place is legit top restaurants in msp, why??? Because they have talent and imagination. Any one can buy great ingredients and high end products, but can you make sidewalk grass , spruce pine , lingcod , wildrice and strawberry taste good ?(Not a real dish just something off top of my head) That's talented and worth talking about , the folks here have talent. And if your looking for adventure of the palette look no further.“

“In Fargo, service is not great. i had one bite of my meal and told waiter he could take it. He never asked why, if anything was wrong, just grabbed it and walked away. I wasn't expecting anything other than for him to know why my meal was not hardly touched. He never came back to table until he brought us the bill.“

“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.“

“Love the Harriet! Thru covid, the LH "Big Dig" and many other challenges, this family owned and run restaurant continues to provide warmth, cheer and good food to our Linden Hills neighborhood.“

“I really recommend this place to eat. The food was delicious 🤤“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“Lovely atmosphere and great food!“

“Great atmosphere Great people & Great Food Best Wine Bar in the Cities“

“I ate at Milton's VVB tonight with my husband. The food was amazing, but the service was even better! The waitress was honestly the best waitress I've ever had! So friendly and funny! I was blown away! Shout out to Wafaa for taking good care of us! We hope to be able to visit Milton's again and again!“

“excellent service food tasted great best happy hour out there“

“Part of my job is to coordinate catering for training sessions, C-suite meetings, Board meetings and as soon as I found Cafe Fusion, it became my GO-TO for any and all catered needs. I've ordered everything from chopped salads, wraps, and pizzas to the taco bar (OMG) and pasta bar (OMMMMGGGG) and the hoagies. Everything is always fresh, delicious, portioned perfectly and presented so nicely. The staff is friendly, ON TIME, and extremely helpful. I can't say enough about this place! You cannot go wrong with them.“

“This is one of the best gluten free and healthy restaurants in the five state area. The food tastes homemade and the dining area has a lot of natural light with big windows and a view of Bde Maka Ska (Lake Calhoun).
My personal favorites are their egg sandwiches on delicious focaccia bread. All the bowls are great too. Their business continues to grow and I’m looking forward to their new Edina store.
The manager, Kyle, is very personal, professional, and greets me by my name. I’m a regular. I come weekly. As a celiac, it’s the safest restaurant around.“

“When asking the question - What should we do for dinner? Many times the answer is Red Roosters! Always great!!“

“I love the interior design, service, and food here. I also appreciate the interesting menu selections, which offer more variety than other spots in St Louis Park. This is a great place for a date, a girls' brunch, or even a corporate meeting. My mom use to order the duck sandwich, which unfortunately is not on the menu anymore. She tried the Kimchi bowl instead and enjoyed it. My favorite is the chicken Mediterranean wrap—the chicken is such great quality, and they're really generous with the portion size! I also recommend the ratatouille, chicken wings, chicken apple sandwich, fresh espresso martini, and hummus platter.“

“Muy bueno la comida recomendado“

“Honestly our experience couldn't have been better. We arrived early and were offered complimentary Prosecco while we waited. A small thing, but a nice touch. Old fashioned was a 10. Food was inventive, aesthetic and cooked to perfection. Server was attentive and informed. Really nice job to all involved!“

“The Old Minneapolis cocktail is a nice, sweet version of an old fashioned.
Cheese curds are lightly battered and lightly fried. Perfectly melted cheese inside. Very nicely done.
Walleye had good flavor with a nice butter sauce.
Waitress Ashley took great care of me.“

“We had a dinner party for 33 people in this wonderful place on Saturday night celebrating the marriage of my son and his new bride. The manager Stephanie was so wonderful to work with knowing we would be taking up almost half the restaurant. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great staff and food. Very fresh has a fun golf club machine“

“I could spend all day in here. Everything is beautiful and shiny! The staff couldn't be any nicer. They are very knowledgeable, polite and approachable. The inventory is fantastic. Great place to buy a gift. For yourself and a loved one.“

“Love the coconut cake.and the strawberry Angel food cupcake.“

“Last night, we held a real estate client party at Rush Creek and the entire event was perfectly executed. From the initial meeting a few weeks earlier to the final guest walking out, it was a wonderful evening. Great food, craft cocktails and dedicated servers who were outstanding. Loved how management checked in to ensure everything was flowing well and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Rush Creek for any event you and your organization/wedding/biz are planning. Thank you Rush Creek for creating wonderful memories for us and our valued clients.“

“Great cocktails and brunch in a fun, comfortable atmosphere. Our bartender was friendly and they have a nice, dog friendly patio. Will definitely go back!“

“Great people work and hangout at the SLP American Legion. Good food at great prices.“

“We were welcomed with open arms yesterday! The food was simply amazing! We recommend the Urban Cowboy Burger and the Tacos!!! We will be back again, thanks again Ben!“

“Fantastic food - every bite was amazing!“

“We had Old Southern Bbq cater for our wedding and it was absolutely an amazingly positive experience! The director of catering, Amy, was so helpful and on top of everything. The catering team was absolutely wonderful! All of our guests ranted and raved about the food all night, especially the potato salad and the cornbread muffin tops. Would definitely recommend!“

“Great service. Great atmosphere. Nice way to start an evening out with friends.“

“Our work group had a team outing here and we enjoyed the excellent service, tasty food (chicken flatbread and bacon tater tots!), huge bar selection with grest tequilas and mezcal, and of course the fun golf obstacles.

I can't stress enough how much I appreciated the excellent service from the friendly and prompt staff. I would really enjoy coming back here sometime.“

“Well, let's see. I thought it was going to be like a sit-down, relax restaurant. Take your time. Might take a little while for your food to come out. Our server, Ashley, was nice. Quick to come take our order, quick to offer a refill when the beverage ran out. Our meals came out so quickly, though. It felt like not even 20 minutes went by after we placed the order and BAM meals arrive. They must've read my order incorrectly. I said no bleu cheese and it came out with bleu cheese. They brought it back and then like 20 minutes later, brought me a new plate. It looked like they just scraped the side dishes from the original plate to the new plate. They were cold where the extra butter I ordered didn't even melt. The waffle fries on my wife's plate, in my opinion, were cold or old. Wife said they were fine. Service was great! Ashley provided a little discount since they messed up my order. Food on the other hand, felt more like a quick service restaurant versus a sit-down, relax restaurant. No offers for dessert. I didn't even see a dessert menu or on the main menu. This really wasn't the best experience, but not the worst experience. I only recommend Clive's because Ashley was so quick and friendly. For the rest, no I would NOT recommend Clive's.“
