“It was my first time at shake shack Nicole took my order she was very knowledgeable about The menu items and helped me pick out what I would like to eat Nice family fast food restaurant insideParking: Parking lot is small restaurant is isolated away from the mall but worth the visit“
“Had an amazing experience for my fist time here! I had the gnocci with cauliflower and orange, sooo good! They also have a local brewery (thats just down the street) on tap. My bartender Tim was very knowledgeable and had a great personality! The place was pretty busy when I went, but I still enjoyed the atmosphere! Overall, great experience!“
“They squeezed us in despite having a full house. We’ve been twice and both times were incredible. I don’t know what is better- the service or the food. Even the burger is one of the best in the cities. Sit at the chef’s table if you can and make sure you get a dessert.“
“My new favorite restaurant in the cities! Took my mom and dad here for my mother's birthday and we were all wowed by every dish! The mussels were amazing and the grilled bread along with was perfection. The rarebit took our words away- special, unique and craveable- highly recommend. The Caesar was actually something- fresh, perfectly light and savory sharp. The arroz con leche made my parents mumble delighted approval... All the drinks were complex and amazingly balanced (the Verde is my fav and very refreshing).(Petite Leon- PLEASE dont take the rarebit off the menu!)“
“When is a wine bar more than just a wine bar? When it's Milly's and they serve you 2 glasses of wine and you get to guess which one is which. The prize is just bragging rights, but it's so much fun! Their wine list is extensive and amazing, and the servers are amazingly knowledgeable about them. The food is delicious too: mezze, flatbreads, charcuterie. The ambiance is just lovely. This is a must-try!“
“Wow! This is just an easy 10 out of 10 straight across-the-board! One of my new favorites, if not my new favorite! We sat at the bar, such a great atmosphere especially being able to watch the kitchen a little bit. Thomas, who I believe was the manager was fantastic and you can tell it is a really well ran establishment. And everyone that works there actually looked happy! Our bartender/server was amazing and the food was just spectacular! Sooooo good. Thank you thank you!“
“Just tried this place for the first time. Fun atmosphere, great service, great wine selection, and some of the best food I have had at a restaurant in a long while. The baby back ribs and the Five Spice Tofu were particularly good. Loved it!“
“The food was great overall. However, my own dish of lobster gnocchi could have used less of the salt. It's better salty than bland, though. However, the service from the young waiter with long hair was outstanding.We'll be back when my daughters can treat me to another lovely dinner.“
“Great Vibe. Space is relatively small for the amount of people that come in to enjoy. The wait is worth it; food and drink is fantastic. My only recommendation would be to print the menu in bigger font because it’s a dimly lit restaurant so get out your phone to shine a light. Definitely going back to enjoy other items. Service was top notch“
“My husband and I took our daughters out for dinner. Nightingale is a lovely restaurant with a bar in the middle. We started with deviled eggs, mushroom bruschetta and french fries. For entrées, we had the Meyer lemon risotto, hangersteak, scallops, and sunchoke soup. I didn't think the french fries were that good and my husband said the lemon risotto was not that great either but everything else was delicious. Service was excellent.“

“Kruse Market is wonderful! We enjoyed the Rainbow Bowl, What’s Wrong with Basic toast, Masala Chai Tea, and Blueberry Hills coffee. All were fantastic! A friend ordered the G.O.A.T. toast (on gluten-free bread) and let me take a nibble - divine! The retail side had a ton of great merch (those basil olives!!! *chef’s kiss!*) that we also stocked up on. And my family was pleasantly surprised to be the recipients of fresh takeout pastries and some Milkjam ice cream! We had such a fantastic time! There are ample outlets for the remote worker, and enough choices to satisfy all kinds of palates and dietary needs. I can’t wait to go back for dinner!“
“We went to Joan’s with our dining group, Haute Plates, and left there not only fully sated, but euphoric. From the astounding service (Dan) to the overseeing by Joan herself, and all the prep by Jen for our group, we were already blown away. Then the food arrived. Each bite sent us into reverie. Are they magicians??Dietary restrictions: I cannot do butter. They were beyond accommodating!“
“When we discovered The Tasting Room we were looking for somewhere special to celebrate my Husband’s 50th birthday. We came to the Tasting Room and I contacted the owner and head chef, Nico, over email. Nico was very responsive and provided great communication the entire time, making the planning process much less stressful. Nico was able to accommodate all our needs easily.Once we got to the restaurant, we were escorted to a beautiful private room in the establishment's basement. The room was designed to resemble a speakeasy and had a large wine cellar in the back of the room.Once everyone arrived, Nico began to present a wine tasting to us himself. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and was able to present that information entertainingly. The wines he had picked out tasted delicious as well. Along with the wine tasting, Nico and his marvelous staff served a wonderful dinner consisting of Black Caviar, Olive Oil Poached Salmon, a wonderful Wagyu Beef Zabuton, and more wonderful items. Throughout the entire service, the staff was attentive and kind and ensured that we and our guests were taken care of.For the high-quality service, the price was also quite reasonable. We recommend the Tasting Room to anyone, and we will be coming back.“
“Very good, if very pricey, steak and seafood house. Quiet, comfortable, and artistic ambiance, excellent service. Fabulous Manhattans.Only knock is for the disappointing preparation of Chilean Sea. Much wad made of the fingerling potato confit. It was a dreadful. (Try Crave for their Sea Bass!)But lobster bites (again, very pricey) and chicken (somewhat reasonable) were excellent,Had it not been Friday in Lent, two of us would have tried the filet. The beef tray looked very good.We'll return.“
“Everything was absolutely superb! Our waiter, Carlos, took excellent care of us. Our food was exceptional ! From the seafood platter to steaks and all the accompaniments. And of course the best cocktails and wine. The evening was very important to us and Capital Grille and Carlos took the best care of us.“
“So happy I found Troubadour - My new favorite place ❤️ The wine, ambience, and charcuterie are all fantastic, and the owner was lovely and so nice. There was even live music! This place is a hidden gem in Minneapolis. Perfect for a date or just a little indulgence.“
“Tried a new wine bar in the "burbs" Was surprised how busy it was at 8.00pm on a Saturday night- live music was playing and there were only a couple seats left at the bar so we snagged those and were greeted by one of the owners who was super friendly. The service was very good even though it only looked like 3 people were working - they were very busy but did not show it They have an extensive wine list which is nice and decent price range from $12 upwards. The Rosè I had was pretty good and the Cab Sauv my date had was good too! The music was pretty loud - only on weekends I think , but when the crowds dispersed it felt more like an intimate wine bar- so I imagine during the week this would be a great place to meet up with friends and family. Did not get to try any food as we had just come from dinner but they did have some amazing smelling bread boards I would be willing to try! The owners are a husband and wife team who are very down to earth and like they get to know everyone who visits A cute place in Shoreview- when in the area I will stop by“
“In love with the vibe of this place, it is dark and rustic with light wood, velvet upholstered seating, and minimal decor. The feel is a bit pretentious, but not off putting in my opinion. The food is mostly small bites and a couple sandwiches, and the wine and drinks menu is fairly priced and thoughtful.I got the olives and pickled vegetables, and the eggplant red pepper dip with crudités. The picked veg was great- crunchy carrots, cauliflower and other veg pickled to vinegary perfection. The olives were big meaty Castlevetrano olives. For me things went downhill with the dip and vegetables. The dip was sweet and spicy, but the assortment of vegetables was not my cup of tea. I didn’t touch the celery or the green onion (was I supposed to eat that on its own..?) The cooked mushrooms were good and the quality of the vegetables were great, but I should’ve asked what veg was included before ordering. Also, a bit of bread included with this would be a nice addition, without needing to order it separate and pay extra.The apricot old fashioned was okay- a tad sweet up front and bitter on the end. I was happy with it but it is on the sweeter side.Overall I did enjoy Dutch Bar. 2 small plates and 2 drinks were about $50 and they do add a hospitality service fee, but such is the current climate when dining out.I will also mention there was a strong smoky cooking smell in the place. However, I am eager to visit again and try out a few other items!“
“Stopped in Tuesday morning for a few hours to get some school work done and this location had the perfect atmosphere. Although this coffee shop is located within the Daymark apartments on the first floor, the WiFi was a little difficult.Aside from that, the “Maple Cinnamon Latte” was really delicious definitely a 10/10 and there was no extra charge for oat-milk. I also had the egg and cheese croissant which I wasn’t too crazy about, I may just get a donut next timeParking: You could park in the lunds and byerlys in you’re in and out quick.“
“Leah was on the case with water and menus when we sat. Our server Melissa was attentive, fun and professional. I had the bleu smash burger thing. Very tasty. I've not seen their cut of fries before, a kind of shaving technique, really flavorful. The entertainment was the best part. Alex Gelking performed a cool mix of songs and styles. He played 'Fearless' for god's sake. Good evening all around. 5 stars.“
“I've been to AceBridge a couple of times. The first time, my group of 4 did the simple tasting. The owner happened to be there so he did the tasting and we ended up getting so much more. Not only did he end up letting us sample more than expected, he also gave us a great lesson on his company and the evolution of wine in MN.Last weekend, I was back with a group of 11. This time we were there for the limo tour (listed on their website). I highly recommend. We all had such a good time. It was completely worth the cost when we split it up evenly per person.“
“Outstanding in so many ways. The atmosphere transports u to another place. Seating options are all great including at the fancy bar, in the bar at a high top, fancy dining room and my fav: patio on a warm day. Food amazing, drinks amazing, staff amazing. Easy parking. Italian food store attached. Great for special occasions, happy hour, any time really.“
“This was the perfect restaurant find for our friends weekend out. The atmosphere was so fun, eye catching, unique and well decorated! The food was hands down delicious. The bars are beautiful! The staff was very friendly easy to talk to. I was so impressed the whole time were were there! When we are back in the area we will definitely go back here!!!“
“So kind of an off story but stick with me, came here for my first outing 3 weeks postpartum with the fam and newborn…. Absolutely treated so special by the staff. Like superb. The food, as always…. Amazing. the customer service—— beyond exceptional!!! Thanks for making this mamma feel extra special on her day out.“
“First time - and will be back! 5 of us ate and sharing is encouraged with the delicious, creative “foodie” options. Service was outstanding and excellent acoustics for conversation but still with an ambient chatter of other diners. Very good experience here.“
“Although it’s a little tucked away in deluxe plaza, Gray Fox a nice café with good atmosphere for reading or working. I got a black coffee with a cake donut (total $6.65; $3.00 12oz coffee + $2.65 cake donut + $1.00 tax) and both were very good! The coffee was actually better and cheaper than most cafés in Minneapolis. It does have a very open environment, but I think it adds a unique atmosphere. Definitely would recommend for a quick stop before starting your day!“

“Visiting Minneapolis, and found this place close to our Airbnb. Their salty dog was amazing. Dark chocolate, caramel and salt. Not powerfully sweet- think slightly veering to a savory hot cocoa. I usually stick to a vanilla latte as any specialty drink is too sweet, but this was just right. The service was great, and the atmosphere is super peaceful and chill.“
“Absolutely wonderful !!!! Mallards has been my favorite place to dine since my first meal eaten there. The BARRAMUNDI RODRIGO a special feast but the WILD MUSHROOM PAPPARDELLE is certainly on top as well. The first time I saw the price of the LOBSTER ROLL I suffered sticker shock, UNTIL I TRIED ONE. WORTH EVERY PENNY & THEM SOME! Highly recommend!!!“
“Service was top tier, the setting was so romantic. The waitress went above and beyond. They all celebrated me with a complimentary drink and dessert. I was spoiled! And I’ll be back to dine again! The staff, the chef, thank you! Thank you so much, and you all deserved that nice tip and much more!“
“I ain’t lie! Thanks to people’s review so I want to stop by! I already in love with iced Matcha - this is the most best ever than another. Perfect balance and not too much or sweet - taste is perfect. Bacon,cheddar, chives and scrambled- O-M-G! Can’t described. HIGHLY RECOMMEND stop by! I love their artists and I’m solo temping that I want buy one!“
“Decent food and wine. Stopped in on way through for work. Got the spicy ham pizza and a moscatto. I asked for crushed red pepper but man, after a bit with no added peppers, changed my mind. The pizza had plent of balance and heat. Good place, decent prices.“
“I did not expect to write a review for an airport restaurant but I loved this place. I loved it so much I want to come here next time I visit MSP (especially if I need extra flight legs for airline status). The hummus was so good. And a 9oz pour for $11?!? In the airport?!? This place is such a win.“
“The bar tender was very attentive and kind. They had pull tabs, good food that was prepared quickly, large portions and averaged around $15/plate. Had beer and booze. Heck the former mayer of New Brighton, I believe was the city she was Mayer of, was there having a beer. Was a pretty good, oh, I even got the phone number of a nice gal, who initially thought my mother was my date. Can't make this stuff up!! Happy 2024!!“
“Great happy hour starting at 3 pm! Gorgeous interior in the historic Rand Tower!Delicious drinks, both nonalcoholic and (strong) alcoholic drinks. I had the Nymphea, yum! ?The oysters were good! Really good French fries too!! The beef tartar was ok, it’s worth trying.Overall this is a great place that more people should go to!Parking: This is downtown Minneapolis, so there are pay parking ramps all around and pay street parking spots.Kid-friendliness: I don’t know I’d bring my kids here, it’s more of an adult cocktail lounge.“
“Great service and like the new take on the place but who tf wrote this drink menu? Vodka in a mojito? Ginger ale in an old fashion? Assuming new ownership but can you have someone who knows standard recipes write your recipes, even with being "crafted" like tossing blueberries in a mojito without changing the foundational recipe which never includes vodka, please? Christ. At these prices you'd think the foundations you add on would at least be accurate. Also, $12 for drinks that have well liquor is pretty shameful as well, just make them all the $13 drinks with call liquor. Smfh. Great service, though“
“Great food and service, but the highlight of my visit was the best margarita I've ever tasted. I ordered "just a regular margarita" with house tequila and no exotic additions. Perfect balance of flavors; not too sweet or tart; strong enough to still taste good after the ice melted. I thought it was pricey, but it was so good that I could almost consider it two drinks.“
