New American Restaurants near Saint Louis Park, MN

“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.“

“food was amazing, I reccomend the prime rib dip. drink were perfectly proportionate. bartenders jackson and jake went above and beyond, drink never went empty and my food came before my girl does.“

“A+. Polished service. Genuine. Crazy value in a time when everything is so expensive. Not cheap — don’t get me wrong — but you know what you’re getting yourself into, don’t have to make any choices, and the food delivers. Will be back soon.“

“Awesome kindness! Such amazing people ❤️“

“this was the most wonderful dining experience i've had in a long time. my server was fantastic and the food was incredible. i will be thinking about the burrata toast for a long long time. highly recommend. it was packed and busy on a wednesday night and i'm glad i had a reservation. i might suggest that if you are visiting. highly highly recommend!“

“If you haven’t already been, you need to! Minute chicken, wood fire pizzas, banana cream pie!!! So good 🤤“

“We had a fabulous dinner with another couple. Food was great, table was great, service was very good. Disappointed that no staff told us that 26% charges were automatically included. My fault for not inspecting the itemized bill closer i would have expected staff to share that a 21% gratuity was already included (not to mention an additional “administrative “ fee was also included) before I added an additional 20% gratuity.“

“We hired Brasa Catering for our wedding and couldn't happier with the food and service they provided. We received multiple comments that it was "one of the best wedding meals they've had" from a few guests. Not only was the food delicious, but the crew was extremely kind and went above and beyond for us. Thank you again for everything, we'll keep you in mind for future events!“

“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.“

“Liv was our server and she was AMAZING! She took great care of us and made great recommendations. We shared the smoked walleye dip which was delicious. I had the Skirt Steak & Frites. Very flavorful! We shared the sundae which was so good. The best ice cream we’ve ever had. The manager stopped by to say hello before we left. Great experience. Will definitely come back!“

“Went to Yard House with a big group and it's basically the perfect spot for that — huge menu, huge beer list, something for everyone. I tried one of the local drafts I'd never seen before, and my friend got the giant nachos during happy hour which were loaded and honestly a great deal. We also split a pizza and some street tacos, both solid. It's loud and lively, more sports bar energy than intimate dinner, so heads up if you want a quiet conversation. Service kept up well even with our big table. Great choice for a casual group hangout with drinks.“

“Restaurant is amazing! Steady Eddie every time. Creative, well crafted, beautifully curated pre fixe tastings. Highly recommend!“

“It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place you think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... 🍹: Xochitl In Love 🍸: La Clandestina 🐟: Tuna Tostada 🌮: Chicken Tinga Tostada 🦪: Seared Scallops 🫓: Tlayuda 🥃: Colita Old Fashioned 🥩: Lamb Barbacoa Tacos 🫔: Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!“

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

“-Vinai MN- My friend and I wanted to try Chef Yia's restaurant due to being homesick and wanting hmong food. We were met with such great service and sat where we could see the work area. Chef Yia was so kind and started us off with a complimentary appetizer, rice Curry balls. We ordered and the food came so fast. As soon as I took a bite, my eyes started to get teary because it tasted like food from home. I started fanning myself to not cry which Chef Yia saw and asked if the food was too spicy. We then started to explain that we were not from MN and were feeling a bit homesick and how the food reminded us of home. Chef Yia then said, here let's do this. He returned with a pot of beef soup that consisted of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, beef and green onion and white rice and shared that this dish was one of those dishes that we would eat at gathering and events. We we so shocked and so at loss with his kindness and compassion. We both took a bite and immediately lighted up. It tasted like my mom's cooking 💓. As we were nearing the end of our meal, Chef Yia told us not to stuff ourselves too full and surprised us with a complimentary dessert which further awed us. We were so lost at words for Chef Yia's kindness, generosity and comfort. We chose the Lava Cake and it was soooo good! I normally don't like sweets but we devoured this 😋. 1000/10 would recommend.“

“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!“

“Food was great very reasonable price. Gave 4 stars total and on service because I had to use the bathroom and wasn't told there was a code to enter. When I tried to flag down the waitress she was assisting the table nezt to us and did not return for 10 minutes. Otherwise very friendly and did not interrupt our dinner at all.“

“I have only eaten one thing repeatedly and it is excellent, their burger. I can’t speak to anything else on the menu. Service is fine, but sometimes laid back to the point of indifference. Atmosphere might be a little too trendy and hip for some people, but the space is attractive and well situated especially when going to see a show at Latte Da.“

“Best food in Mpls! Great staff/service. Chef is AMAZING!“

“Very expensive for us but it was a fun experience. The food was good and my son who's in a mission to order French fries at every fine dining restaurant was very pleased with his $15 fries! I wasn't blown away by the drink I got, for the price I was hoping for something that went down a little smoother.“

“Great atmosphere! So many people having a great time. Ordered the Dragon's Milk Braised Beef Ribs with snap peas and mash. So good! So tender and flavorful! Gravy was chef's kiss!“

“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“

“Borough is fantastic. Great food and service and the atmosphere is wonderful.“

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️“

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

“We really love this new location great atmosphere wonderful food“

“Ive worked in multiple kitchens over the course of 8+ years and the short rib here was easily one of the best meals I have ever eaten! Wish I had taken a pic but it was quickly, and throughly, devoured! My husband had the pesto pasta which was also divine, light and lemony, perfect springy pasta dish. Our server Hannah was a delight! I dont often leave reviews but was compelled after having such a lovely dinner. I will be raving about that soy honey glazed short rib for months and hopefully will be back for more soon.“

“Our server Austin was a breath of fresh air after a hectic day of shopping. His food and drink suggestions were solid at a time I had no desire to think about what to eat. Our apps, drinks and entrees were delicious. I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“We had the best experience ever at the Red Cow. It started with the hostess telling us she would take care of us even though we didn't have a reservation. Making eye contact with a genuine smile. Rare. Delicious food, excellent, attentive wait staff and the chef even made an appearance in the dining room. Did a quick walk through smiling at his customers as he went through. Special treatment must be Red Cows game plan. Love it!❤️“

“Visiting Pittsburgh and this was a great stop with a friendly staff (Kudos Tyrone) and great drinks! Fun time with the putt putt (beat my husband). If in Pittsburgh area this is a must stop!“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“I had such a great experience at Puttshack thanks to Ashleigh and Angel! They were both so sweet, kind, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Their positive attitudes and excellent customer service made our visit even more enjoyable. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, and it really showed. Puttshack is lucky to have such wonderful employees. Thank you, Ashleigh and Angel, for making our experience so memorable!“

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

“Excellent service! Abbi W was our server and she made the dinner so much better! Good food doesn’t matter without good service. We will definitely be back and ask for Abbi!“

“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!!“

“Can’t wait to go back for great food and service“

“Lovely place and owners. Had a Bauru, an outstanding steak sandwich, named after my hometown in Brazil. The brigadeiro cake was delicious, perfectly balanced with a scoop of raspberry sorbet. Thank you, Kalinka and team. It was a beautiful taste of home.“

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

“Amazing food, good service, lovely patio“

“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.“

“I popped into Brim Cafe & Coffee yesterday and had a great experience. The cafe was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and the food and coffee tasted fresh and high quality. Good local spot near W 66th Street with a relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely go back again and recommend to others.“

“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!“

“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!“
