New American Restaurants near Savage, MN

“Had a great meal for 4 adults and 1 child. Food was fresh and good portion. Staff were super kind and great hosts. Drinks were super good as well. Got appetizer, main meals, and dessert and would absolutely recommend and go again.“

“Always friendly and helpful. I came from Wisconsin and would like to see the bakery dept add crullers Delicious. As HyVee moves into WI you will find customers expect to be able to purchase. Also put a lot more apples into your Apple fritters. I stopped buying but I saw two slices sticking out and thought a would try again. Nope. All dough“

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

“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 is hands down one of the best restaurants in Minnesota, all three locations that we regularly visit always have great service friendly staff and the food is excellent to me there are drinks are a little expensive but besides that this is one of our go to is for special occasions as well as date nights.“

“We truly enjoyed the Mother's Day Brunch, at the CRAVE iin the mall of America. Lucas, our server, was OUTSTANDING! The buffet was absolutely wonderful and the attentive staff was continuously evaluating the food appearace and levels. The preparation was excellent, the flavors were spot on, the salmon was cooked perfectly, and the carving station was one of the best I've seen in recent years. The cut fruit was perfectly prepared and had a very appealing presentation. The assortment of pastries and deserts was amazing. This is THE PLACE to take your mother to cellebrate this day.“

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

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

“Enjoyed as usual. Food was good. Service was professional. There was a loud table of several elderly women whose noise level often exceeded our own conversation level. I guess if that's all I have to complain about, life is pretty good!“

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

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

“Just finished dinner at the Better Half to try out the new after dark menu - 100/10 recommend! We had the ahi tuna stack, miso sea bass, and the lobster pasta (can’t remember the name) and everything was INCREDIBLE. We wanted to order pretty much everything, it was so hard to decide! I would officially consider this one of the best menus south of the River - can’t wait to come back and do another round of taste testing until we make our way through the whole menu! Shout out to Michael our server - he always goes above and beyond (I somehow always end up in his section 😂 and he is fantastic!)“

“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!“

“Muy bueno la comida recomendado“

“Recently visited this place on a whim Friday evening with my spouse. We’d never been here previously, but it was a pleasant surprise! It took some time to get sat, the people up front were not very orderly. Started with some dinner, enjoyed the quesabiria. Our server, Iris, immediately acknowledged us, and got everything out so quickly! She was wonderfully conversational but not smothering. As she got our drinks out to us, we asked her if she was able to tell us more about booking parties here. We had asked other staff members about it while we waited to get sat but no one really cared to go into much detail about it, and simply told us “it should be online”. However, our server went into great detail about how to book and what we should expect upon booking, including what we could bring and what fees we’d be expecting. Overall our experience was incredible, besides the puttery being a bit sticky and not well maintained so to speak. The golf ball attendant was not very pippy, and the host seemed a bit undertrained and not very kind. Besides that, we had a blast and ended up going home with great memories and planning to book our next gathering at Puttshack. HUGE shoutout to Iris! She’s a wonderful server and we will certainly be requesting her for our party soon.“

“Wow…this place is our new favorite restaurant and we are foodies… Service by all was excellent! The food is all made in house and fantastic. We tried 9 different items including dessert. The pistachio crème brûlée is a classic. We will be back again and again and again …“

“Great restaurant in the south burbs. The service is good. The menu has a nice variety. The banana ice cream cake is to die for!“

“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.“

“Had a quick dinner tonight with the kid. Service was amazing (Lex) food came out fast and hot. Had the birria grilled cheese with the L13 tots (fabulous btw) and the smashed potato bowl. Will definitely be back!“

“This was our first experience dining at cedar + stone...we will return! Our server, Marcus, was fantastic snd his support team was attentive to our needs. I especially appreciate when the management team steps in to help care for the guests...and that was our experience. The food, the experience, the fun...we look forward to our next visit. Thank you for making our special occasion so special.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our meal was outstanding and our waiter Frank and Manager Aaron at the Edina location were great!!! Was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had! 5 stars rating from us! Thanks again for making our night special.“

“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.“

“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!“

I was there for 25 years and as a top seller I can say it was the best 25 of my life. Yes, it’s a commissioned store but, they really DO see the customer.
