“Love that it’s veggie forward - broccolini, mushrooms, others have us coming back for more! But that pub styler burger with dijon mayo is to die for and such a nice treat. The cake is delicious and outdoor patio in the summer is very niceDietary restrictions: Accommodating“
“Been to several specialty dinners as well as regular nights out. The staff are outstanding and from the water server all the way to the General Manager are friendly and always willing to go to the next level of service for you. Custom meats, hearty cocktails you want it they've got it.“
“Run, don’t walk, to The Briar! Wow this place was so special (and dare I say the date capital of Minneapolis at night?)! This place has great cocktails, delicious food, the best atmosphere, and friendliest staff! It was such a treat to go to this small spot with two great friends and enjoy some sandwiches, chips, and soups. Absolutely loved this spot!“
“Super impressed by our experience with wait staff, this place is absolutely adorable, and the food was very impressive. We loved the drink menu with so many options for N/A drinkers, too. Being able to pop next door and buy items we enjoyed at dinner to take home was a delight.“

“This place is 10/10 and the people are 20/10! I was there last night to celebrate my husband’s birthday and they went above and beyond with helping me pull off the surprise. When some of the balloons I had floated off, they got a ladder to get them for me. I brought a cake with me, and they provided plates and cutlery for us which I did not expect!! Everyone was absolutely incredible and I’m so grateful for all they did. THANK YOU.The drinks are amazing and the atmosphere is beautiful. It’s a wonderful place for a date night, hang out with friends or a place to celebrate your birthday. I highly recommend!“
“Great little find. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the drinks and alcohol they are serving. They even have a selection of spirit free drinks that taste amazing! As a person who does not drink, it is great to find a place that actually makes true cocktails without spirits. Will be back.“
“I hope you’re happy Young Joni. Now I don’t want food at any other restaurant. And to top it off, if it’s not Brandon serving it’s just not going to be worth it.Amazing.The Burrata was the favorite, but like, not by much. It was all just so good!“
“Absolutely loved the Camden Social. The owner was very professional and welcoming. Went there for Saturday brunch and they had a jazz band playing live music. Ordered the French toast, eggs, and sausage. The sausage was so well seasoned and full of flavor. And the French toast omg so good. Probably one of the best French toast I've had. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. Thanks for a great experience.“
“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“
“I had not been to Little T’s since the change in ownership and man was I blown way! We arrived around 7 pm with a large group and got a table right away. Our server, Sara, was super attentive, charming and very helpful. The drinks were delivered fast as was water for everyone. Our drinks were strong and delicious but the food is what really makes this place killer! We tried everything on the starters menu and each plate was flavorful with distinct and unique combinations. The cauliflower was incredible! The smash burger was so good that everyone at the table had to taste it. The atmosphere is delightful as well. I can’t rave enough about our experience at Little Tijuana’s!!!Vegetarian options: There is something for everyone!“
“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.“
“My daughter and I stopped in with no reservation while it was pretty busy and were seated right away. Our waitress was awesome and the service was fast. I got the Pork Belly & Biscuit- very delicious! My daughter got the Chicken Biscuit and she loved it! She isn’t a fan of honey but loved the hot honey that came with her dish ( she had it on the side to make sure she would like it). I was also impressed the coffee drink selection. Such great varieties! I had the Pistachio Cardamom which was so delicious. Also ordered the March special to go which was the Lucky Green Dream Latte- very delicious as well! Definitely stopping again when we are back in the area!“
“Went here for dinner with my wife and brother. We were seated promptly and service was very attentive. The vibe of this place is really interesting, especially the décor.The adult beverage list is extensive and reasonably priced.My brother and I ordered the Wagu Butter Burger - 10/10! Maybe tope 3 burgers I've ever had in my life. It was perfection. The fries were also a cut above.My wife's Mediterranean sampler tasted fine, but she said my burger was better.No complaints at all. I'll be back!“
“The family went for their first Easter Bunny Brunch and Egg Hunt, and the experience was amazing. We had some crepes and other snack bread at the brunch while we waited and the colored on provided Easter sheets and played board games. Then the egg hunt was on!!! Afterwards, the Easter Bunny made an appearance for pictures. In all, it was a blast. Staff was great, especially the host though I didn't catch their name. Food was great. We will definitely be back and if they are considering an egg hunt for next year they can count us in with new custom shirts.Kid-friendliness: Had kid activities planned for a kid central day“
“We hosted our company holiday party at Steady Pour and it was the PERFECT spot for food, drinks and socializing. The space is both charming and intimate. The food was delicious with great coordination of amount and crowd pleasing bites. The staff was super easy to work with in planning as well as hospitable and friendly throughout the evening of the event. I heard nothing but rave reviews from coworkers about Steady Pour and many exclaimed “I’m for sure coming back here!” I would strongly recommend Steady Pour to anybody looking for both an event space and/or an evening out.“
“This place is AMAZING! It’s where my husband and I go to celebrate almost anything. The food is delicious and this combined with how fun hot pot can be makes eating at this wonderful restaurant quite the robust experience. The experience is special also because of the amazing customer service and careful attendance to your needs. The team at this restaurant is smiley, kind , and makes sure to meet your need in a timely manner.I have had two of their various cocktails (the strawberry mojito and the white wine and pineapple sangria) and even their drinks standout in my memory when compared to other places. The hot pot is the best hot pot I have had, ever, anywhere. The broth holds much flavor and there is a lot of careful consideration to how it’s dished; with specific removal of certain numbing citruses before it even gets to your table. Also, all of the small sides come together for a very specialized meal; tailored to each individual’s preference.Like I said; this place is amazing! I’d highly suggest it and am already considering my next visit.“
“I love that the menu is made up of both tapas-style options and full entree dishes from the Caribbean + also New Orleans- some of my favorite flavors! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful. Both the cocktails and NA drinks are fantastic, and the ambiance is a welcome addition to North Loop + the Twin Cities-- festive, fun, relaxing, good vibes.“
“Ok, I'm visiting Minneapolis to see my kids and grandkids, and my two sons and I decided to come to a new dinner and drinks spot. We were quite impressed by the food! OMG! I had the goat cheese toast and it was superb. I know what you're thinking...goat cheese toast??? Yes! It has the creamiest goat cheese with candied walnuts, thyme, figs, honey, pesto, and a balsamic reduction on a toasted ciabatta. Wow! All those flavors in my mouth made me want to sing!! Hahaha We also got the lemon Caesar salad, and the BBQ Brisket Melt. So good! BBQ flavor was rich and delicious, with a juicy and tender brisket. We also ordered ALL the desserts. LOL The pistachio cheese was, hands down, the best cheesecake I have ever had. What a surprisingly delectable taste combination. The pistachio with the creamy cheesecake, think graham cracker crust and the whipped cream and ice cream was so delicious, I made a scene. Haha! The pineapple Bundt cake was soft, moist , pineapply and so damn good. The chocolate torte was good, delicious but nothing super surprising. The strawberry shortcake was the dessert I was most excited about, but it was disappointing. We did not like it. The shortcake had a really strong bitter flavor. Weird and not pleasant at all. We sent it back, it was that disappointing. But...the rest of the food and beverages were absolutely a do-over! We will be back!!!!“
“Just had a staff happy hour ( that lasted about two hours!) that was so much fun! Great service, great apps and beverages and just a wonderful place! Haven't been in for a while due to Covid and it was GREAT to be back! A true gem in the neighborhood! Thanks, Sonder Team!“
“I brought my boss who was visiting Minneapolis for the first time to this place. The pizzas were absolutely delicious. Though for some reason we only ordered four items and ended up spending $150. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, because he paid for the meal. So I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you for making corporate spend money on me. The staff were great and again, the food was incredibly delicious.“
“Came to Char Bar for the first time for happy hour on Saturday with Kim T. Char Bar is a speakeasy on the inside of Butcher & Boar (through the glass doors). We arrived around 4:45 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too crazy busy, we were one of a handful of tables. The hour menu was pretty good! A good amount of food and drink items ranging between $6-10. I had the Chicken Sammy ($10), Kim had an Arby's style 3 Way Beef & Cheese sando ($17), and we split the Curly Fries ($6). I also ordered two of the non happy hour burgers to go ($8/each). I really liked my sandwich a lot, chicken was perfectly crispy, the slaw was savory and sweet, Polynesian vibes. I would absolutely get it again! Kim liked her sandwich but she said the sauce was too much and soaked the bottom of the bun, the curly fries were fine. I had a dragon tattoo cocktail, serenity pineapple rum cocktail, and a frozen rum & cherry coke slushy. Drinks were boozy but pricey! Loved the menu showing the drinks very cute and visibly pleasing. Update: Butcher Burger ($8) was sensational! It's no Parlour Bar burger but it's sooo good, tasted gourmet and traveled well. Fun fact: the restaurant group over Parlour Bar also owns Char Bar! I liked the pickled onions and the chipotle mayo cheese sauce, good solid burger for a good price!“
“Unfortunately wasn't able to enter. We heard great things about the late night cocktails available here. There was an extremely aggressive man screaming at the bouncer to "Do Something!!!" . While the bouncer did his best to deter to the aggressor, we still never felt comfortable approaching the entrance.“
“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.“
“A beautiful venue with unique drinks, but our experience was exceptional thanks to our server Hailey J. She was so professional, recommended drinks specific to our likes, and took the time to get to know us. We will definitely be back because of this!“
“It's a bar with a restaurant. Kitchen seriously needed some ventilation. Very smoky in the restaurant, not burnt smoke, or cigarette smoke, but just good ole fashioned kitchen smoke. Be warned when they're serving their brunch menu in the morning they do not offer their a full menu.“
“Great food hall in the North Loop. It can be crazy busy, especially on Twins game days, but our recent stop was on a Thursday afternoon with no immediate events nearby. Plenty of spaces to sit. They indoor and outdoor seating, with gas firepits outside on a patio, as well as a rooftop deck. Choose foods from the (currently) 5 food vendors, 1 coffee shop, 1 ice cream shop, 1 bar, and then choose a spot to sit. Staff in each of the spots are really friendly and helpful. The guys at Two Mixed Up happily explained their menu options and offered suggestions. The bartender at Libabtion Lounge was also great, and told me I could bring my drink back up for something else if i didn't like it. (Sangria. I DID like it!). Husband and I ordered at Two Mixed Up. We both had Just a Burger and it was delicious! Also ordered one chocolate chip cookie, which was massive and totally shareable! It's just a great place to hang out and enjoy some friend time.“
“Shige-san was fantastic! It was such an amazing experience. Each dish was nicely explained, what it was, consisted of and where it came from. Little facts that we didn't even know. It was such a joy to converse and learn about Shige-san and his passion. The atmosphere was phenomenal and felt so traditional. The Blue-fin Tuna was exceptional along with the Wagyu. Sitting at the Chefs table is a must-do experience that everyone has to try. Getting to know these chefs and their passion is something you'll never forget! Thank you for making my husband's birthday one he will remember! We will be back!“
“First impressions weren’t great. It’s a very “cozy” restaurant and the Daiquiri my wife ordered was rough. With all that being said, the food was incredible! Very nice little spot with some impeccable food but overpriced and underwhelming cocktails. I would highly recommend trying oysters!“
“This local "dive bar",checks all the boxes. A nice mix of standard beers, craft beer, and beer from a bygone era (Old Style on tap). Short menu (small grill next to the bar) but the sausage patty burgers are the best. And don't forget the potato salad. I am always amazed with the bartenders who can serve drinks to a full house and grill food in-between pours.This place is the epitomy of NEMPLS“
“okay so overall the food was delicious. i got the burrito and it was solid. no real complaints there. the yuca fries also delicious and not too greasy, perfectly crispy. the guac was so fresh and so were the salsas. my only complaint was the guava margarita. mind you i’ve been craving a guava margarita for MONTHS now so my hopes were high. but this one really missed the mark for me. it wasn’t guava-y enough and generally just tasted kinda watered down. (though you can note in my photo that i did drink all of it so it wasn’t unbearable—but truly who can say no to a margarita) it just needed something to take it up a notch.overall a great choice and they were super accommodating for our large group and the service was so speedy.“
“Great late night eatery. My husband and I stopped here after a comedy show to get something in our bellies, and we were not disappointed. Drinks were refreshing, I had the baby cita mocktail. We shared the chips & signature salsas and queso. Loved the crispiness of the chips. He had the sandwich cubano while I had the chicken tamal (delicious!!!) and the grilled steak taco. Wasn't a fan of how the taco was presented, it looked very sloppy, but tasted great. All the food was flavorful and tasty! Would recommend. :)“
“My daughter and I were very impressed with the desserts! It was so hard to choose from the menu and dessert case! We ended up trying four different desserts which were all so incredibly delicious. Next time we are in town we will make sure to stop again!“
“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!!!“
“They got me! Didn’t look closely before going and didn’t realize they were a vegetarian place, I was upset at first but decided to just give it a try. And WOW! The food is amazing, no idea what the patty is made of and honestly don’t care, will definitely be back!“
“MY FAVORITE CHINESE PLACE! THE VEGETABLE LO MEIN IS FANTASTIC WITH BABY BOK CHOY, ASPARAGUS, CARROTS, BROCCOLI, ETC.! AND THE SESAME BALLS ARE SO YUMMY!!! I GET THIS EVERY SUNDAY! They do not have a side of white rice so I make my own at home…but giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars for that reason - always have rice on hand!“
“Cheerful and professional service from Sydney. Great artichoke dip and nice smooth lattes. The hibiscus orange tart has great flavor, but a little odd in texture for me. A wonderful option within walking distance of the XCel and Science Museum.“
“We enjoyed every part of our dining experience at Momento last night. The employees are welcoming, knowledgeable and oozing with pride and excitement. We thoroughly enjoyed trying foods we've never had before and felt well informed by our server Kevin. We ordered three shareable plates: Meze, Brussels sprouts and peas & toast. We even left with a recommendation for breakfast in the morning. The colorful decor, including many plants and fresh herbs complimented the experience perfectly. We tried to tell everyone we met that night to come try it out as we might not make the 5 hour trip back for some time.“
“Volstead's is a fun place with great drinks, great music, and delicious food. However, the entree portions are very small for the price. The market fish entree for $22 included maybe 4oz of fish and maybe a quarter cup of rice pilaf. The cornbread for $14 was about 7 inches in diameter. The server was slow to refill waters and run food. Go for drinks and the music, but eat dinner first.“
“Stopped by for an early dinner, there was no wait, which was nice. Had the crab cake as a starter, and that was delicious. Our waitress was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. She had excellent timing - knew when to pop in for refills on drinks and waters and overall had a very positive attitude and vibe. We had the Burgers and fries for dinner, and they were amazing! The French Fries are addictive. The only bummer was the limited menu. Everything we had was great. We would have loved more food offerings. We will be back, we had an excellent experience.Parking: Street parking only, read the street signs so you don't get towed.“
“Nicole was an absolute gem and was so thoughtful throughout our stay. We just moved to the area (and told her this) she made sure to make our service top tier. She poured our martinis in front of us and poured a lowball for the boys at our table. Such a blast!! Happy to come back“
“Sushi Chef Baaska has redefined sushi in Minneapolis & reupholstered Cobble to a whole new level!Great service, sexy atmosphere, and hands down the BEST sushi in the twin cities.If you haven’t had the chance to come here yet, you’re truly missing out.“
“The cocktails will blow your mind - some are innovative and like nothing you’ve tried before, others are unique twists on the classics, all are high quality, creative, and delicious. The food is equally fantastic, a small but perfect menu. The staff are genuinely enjoyable and the energy is lighthearted and weird. Fantastic place to gather together with friends or family, the Nomu Room is simply delightful.“
“During a recent visit to the Wood and Paddle, I was wowed by Willie's service and attention to conversation and kindness. Nick met Willie's high standard in food and beverage recommendations. Thank you for the kindness and meal - I look forward to my next visit.“
“I've had the burger 3 times and it has never been good, always over salted and over cooked. Their fried chicken sandwich however is very well made.Servers have been friendly and prompt every time. The ambience is great, the lights are dim, and it feels cozy.The music however is way too loud. At the bar, it registers on my Apple Watch at around 78-80dB.The cocktails are easily the highlight. I've had a few of the house cocktails and they've all been top tier. They also make the IBA classics extremely well. They're brave enough to offer to put an egg white in the whisky sour and it definitely pays off.“
“Affordable upscale in downtown Minneapolis. It's nice to find a place where sit down entrées range from $20-30 and it provides a good setting for a business meeting. I had a steak, which had a bit of an Asian theme to it but was delicious.“
“Went in thinking of a typical late night bar menu.If bars had a separate class rating for the late night menus and creativity- this would be the place.Exceeded expectations completely, well done. The cheese curds and steak bites both had a really unique (and delicious) touch. The bloody Mary mix is also next level.They also have a variety of top shelf whiskeys, nothing like a Suntory Hibiki, but they have a good selection.“
“Great spot with options for full sit-down meal, bar meal and apps and cozier seating next to bar. Now that they serve breakfast, the menu has something for everyone for every mealtime. (eggs, pancakes, veggies, chicken wings, salads, burgers). Local and standard beers on tap. Good happy hour. And always, if you you are dipping, get the red pepper sauce. Yummy all around food, drinks and people!“
“I don't know where to start. I stopped at Oliver's because it seemed to be less busy than the other restaurants around and I was looking for a quiet place to eat. Walking in, you see an open kitchen and are greeted by a smiling hostess. The menu has great options ranging from burgers to wagyu steak. All of which smell delicious. The atmosphere is really chill and cozy. And the service was excellent. I did appreciate the few tvs they had along the bar, but not having them as a giant distraction. Overall just a great vibe and experience. I look forward to returning again and again!“

“My Son took me there for a late lunch on yesterday Friday Jan 20th, and I was so impressed by the food and service ...The food was fresh! and large portions too, so delicious! and the waiter/ server was so nice and pleasant, and so was the atmosphere and music. I will be returning. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating.“
“We stopped in for a drink and chicken nachos after a long day. Lots of room in the parking lot.Our waiter was outstanding. Very fast and knowledgeable.They were happy to leave the onions off our dish, Much easier than having to pick them off to placate my sensitive innards.“
