“We had yet another fantastic dining experience at The Exchange, and this visit truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was vibrant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. Our server, Angela, was an absolute gem, her enthusiasm for the menu and her attentive service made all the difference.

She went above and beyond, sharing her favorites and suggesting delightful pairings that enhanced our meal. Angela’s warm personality and genuine care made us feel like we were the most important guests in the restaurant.

We decided to try the Cuban sandwich, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The combination of flavors was harmonious, with perfectly grilled bread and succulent fillings that danced on our taste buds.

As we dined, the atmosphere buzzed with laughter and the clinking of glasses, adding to the excitement of the evening. Each bite of food felt like a celebration, and we savored every moment.

Overall, it was an amazing dinner that transcended our expectations, and we can’t wait to return for another culinary adventure at The Exchange!“

“Celebrated my 25th birthday here and it was an amazing experience! Loved the atmosphere and interior design - most importantly the food was amazing!! burgers and fries get more addicting with each bite!! haha

Oh and the bartender knocked the old fashioned out the park 10/10.“

“Milly’s is an absolute gem in Minneapolis! The wine selection is impressive, with a great variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options that catered perfectly to our group. The food, especially the charcuterie boards, was delicious and beautifully presented. Don’t miss out on the French onion soup! Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. A special shoutout to Timothy, the sommelier, who was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect pairings for our meal. And the owner, Brandon, was so welcoming and personable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite“

“Great business that cares about our future, city, and ALL of the people of Minnesota! Viva NightingaleMPLS!“

“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!“

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.“

“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.“

“Great customer service, atmosphere, and cider. Training wheels is my favorite. I’d like to see a Honeycrisp cider.“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

“Lots of fun. Great place to hang out.“

“Cool place! 🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“Fantastic Food, great music and the wildest bunch of neighborhood regulars.“

“Immaculate machines, and great food. Drink prices are pretty reasonable too“

“Patio area on a nice night was phenomenal. Bar tenders were very good. I only ate nuts and chips/dip so I can't rate the food but I had a good time. Would've given it 5 stars if it weren't for that girl working the karaoke. She was extremely rude.“

“This is a great casual place to grab a drink…..or have some really great food.…or take a gab with your friends (or strangers)… they do have a beautiful community table!“

“I threw a large surprise birthday party for my partner here and it was awesome. The atmosphere, food, and drinks were great and it was kid very kid friendly. Our 11 year old boys had a great time with their friends which allowed the adults to also engage. When kids are happy- so are their parents! We can't wait to go back again.“

“Excellent food and service, but they rush your dining enjoyment, pushing your main meal while still enjoying appetizers, suggesting they want higher table turnover over customer satisfaction. We felt rushed, likely won't return.“

“Dusty’s is a NE MPLS treasure. Live music & DJs + cheap drinks!“

“We celebrated with dinner at the Lexington and it was a perfect spot to try! Our waitress, Grace, was phenomenal and so attentive to us. She helped us celebrate with a surprise photo and ice cream sweet:) She went above to help our experience be wonderful! We loved the valet option and enjoyed our first time at the Lexington! 🥰“

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️“

“Love this place!!! everything is delicious! 10/10“

“Classic Nordeast bar…not many left“

“Highly recommend! Excellent. The restaurant is cozy and tropical and you feel like you’re on vacation. But the showstopper is the food. Pricey but worth every penny! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Chill vibe, great drinks, cozy atmosphere“

“The best hole-in-the-wall spot for coney dogs! The food is always delicious, and the old-school atmosphere gives it so much character and charm. It’s the kind of place that feels like a local favorite the moment you walk in. If you’re craving a great coney dog and a nostalgic dining experience, this is the place to go.“

“Service was incredible, and I loved the variety of projects!! Instructions for the crafts were a little confusing however, especially when there were smaller pieces involved. The images and text provided were very small. While this meant the instructions were able to fit on one laminated sheet, it also meant it was so small that some pictures in the steps were almost pointless. A QR code to the steps to pull up on a phone in a presentation-style mode or a large print version would have been helpful.“

“Thank you for keeping the North Star Law Group crew fed! We always have such a great time at Gabe's! 💫“

“Great Live Music @ Mikkel Bee Presents👍🥳🥳“

“Flora Room is a gorgeous cocktail bar located behind and beneath Chef Del Prado's steakhouse Porzana. Fortunately, I arrived at 5:30 PM on a Saturday, which was early enough to avoid a line and a velvet rope. I don't wait in line for anything unless I'm at a pharmacy, bakery, post office, or airport. Lines at restaurants and bars strike me as pretentious or bad management, and I don't tolerate either. However, I'm old, and at my age, nothing is worth waiting for unless it's a necessity.

I found a seat at the beautiful and expansive bar and looked around at the Del Prado design. The colors might be different, but Flora was reminiscent of Minari and Noma. All three add to the Twin Cities' cachet. However, I was taken aback by the attire I saw around me. People were dressed in shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers. It's friggen Saturday night Minneapolis. Have some class!

Flora Room was a lovely cocktail lounge, perfect for wooing, but don't expect to strike up a conversation with any of the bartenders. At these Del Prado joints, the staff must be trained not to engage. I'm out alone and enjoy talking. Bartenders used to be part of a lounge's attraction when I grew up in NYC. They learned your name, knew what you did, and gave you a hearty welcome. That, I guess, is not part of the culture in Minneapolis. Well, at least not at the Del Prado restaurants and bars. Chef Del Prado is from Argentina, and certainly, Argentina is one of the warmest and friendliest countries in the world, so I don't get it. I now live up the block from the Flora Room. I'm a neighbor and would like to be treated like one. Neighborly and the Flora Room are distant concepts.“

“Crispy wings, pizza and Bar burgers so no medium well but comes out hot so not bad at all! Smaller place but has a pool table. We like this place because its quieter. To eat and have a couple beers is maybe 50$ FOR 2. The bartenders are observant and take good care of you!“

“Small Hours was on my list and although we had little time we could make it for a glass of wine. I loved the atmosphere and how cozy it was. Since I am from Spain I checked both their wine and food menu and I was very pleased with their selection. They closed after we left and Bobby from Phoebe Bridgers started playing - It was just magical to hear it from the very dark street. A 10/10.“

“A great area for dogs of all sizes to run outdoors, attentive staff to manage any pup issues, a great menu, and great drinks! It's a fantastic place to spend an evening with friends and your dogs without worrying about keeping your dog on your heels. There is also an indoor area for rainy or snowy days.“

“This is one of the BEST food spots I have been to in the St. Paul area, I highly suggest eating here. The food is amazing, hot and the flavor is great. Came here for all you can eat breakfast every Sunday for only $20 per person!! Please check it out :)“

“I have tried just about everything on the menu at Bina's. The Bina Burger (Smashburger) is a two patty wagon burger....SOOOOO YUMNY. The Tendiemelt is enough for two people to share. And the Grilled Cheese has 5 chesses/spreads and pairs perfectly with the tomato soup. stop in and give your opinion.“

“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.“

“Great food. big beers. sports. what's not to love. they even got the ring on a string in the back!“

“they have great burger's. the staff is great. it's reasonably priced“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“three music venues, food, drinks. Great old time unpretentious atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing food, drinks & service!“

“Stopped in for the first time. The space was small but set up really well. Many selections of self-pour drinks including wine and mixed drinks. We also ordered 2 of the hot hoagies and an appetizer. I thought the food was a great value. We will definitely be back!“

“Up-Down was a fun little barcade. Games aren't free, but they're generous with the tokens. By the end of the night there was a chain of 3 or 4 groups just paying it forward, passing on unused tokens to others because we had an excess.

The selection of games is good, but not amazing. Quite a few, though, are in varying states of repair. Pinball not connected to the loyalty system, cracked screens, loose joysticks, broken coin slots, out of order cabinets.

Overall we had a great time. Played through the entire Simpsins arcade game and a few other classics, while sipping on some reasonably priced beverages. Definitely a nice night out.“

“Dive bar atmosphere country environment“

“I cannot speak on the food but I can speak on the people who work for the company and own the business. They are amazing, I saw them on Joshlilj’s Facebook page and they gave him 20 elotes for free to hand out to the homeless and that right there tells me their business deserves a 5 star rating.“

“I’m a local to the area and decided to go to the reveal rooftop to have some birthday drinks, and it was the best decision. The night was great, the atmosphere was great, the drinks and the food were great too. Brian helped to take care of us and he did a fabulous job!“

“small town bar atmosphere. great drinks, nice people.“
