New American Restaurants near St. Louis Park, MN

“Our experience at the Yard House yesterday was outstanding! We were celebrating my birthday and our server Logan was amazing! He was extremely professional and did a great job answering our questions, especially mine related to gluten free options. I love that the restaurant has a gluten friendly menu also. I ordered drink that I didn't like,and he replaced it no problem without the extra charge. He also brought out a complimentary GF cheesecake for me with Happy Birthday written in chocolate powder. The food was hot and delicious and everyone my group loved it, including my kids. I had the seared ahi tuna sandwich which was delicious. They also have a great kids menu. We didn't feel rushed at all and all of the staff were so kind and accommodating. We also didn't have to wait with our reservation and were able to sit outside. I loved having the awning in case of rain. Our waiter even took our picture afterwards. Our experience here made my birthday so special. I would definitely recommend and will be dining there again!“

“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!!“

“Great people work and hangout at the SLP American Legion. Good food at great prices.“

“A few times a year, I make a detour on the way to work for avocado toast with an egg and the fruit cup. I do not know how they do it, but every time the fruit cup is delicious. It also looks beautiful. Yes, lunch is amazing here, but don't sleep on breakfast. 😅“

“Great service. Great atmosphere. Nice way to start an evening out with friends.“

“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.“

“Great food! Great service! Exceptional kitchen management!“

“Fun experience. My favorite course was the steak tartare. The “main” courses were an adorable play on a summertime bbq spread with the most delicious bbq sauce ever. The wines were well paired with the different courses. Also, I have to say, at $120 per person for the meal and wines ($80 food/$40 wine), Tenant is an excellent value.“

“Went there today for the first time. Great food, chef kissed delicious! Great service, friendly atmosphere. Wish my youngests food came out at the same time as the other 4 of us (his came out 10 minutes later and he’s 2) but portions were so big we had enough of our food to share as he didn’t eat his when it finally came. Otherwise delicious and would definitely recommend“

“Awesome kindness! Such amazing people ❤️“

“Some odd industrial music choices and higher volume when packed didn't impede my enjoyment of our absolutely delicious drinks, gnocchi, halibut, or steak. Service and food were lovely throughout, just be prepared to have to shout a bit to converse~“

“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.“

“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.“

“My friend and I had an incredible time at Owamni. My compliments to the chef. Truly one of a kind experience. The food was outstanding from start to finish ( presentation, flavor profile, texture, all natural and full of character). There’s not a place that’s more unique than Owamni in Minnesota, in my opinion . I highly recommend this establishment, and I wish you prosperity and success.“

“Best place in the twin cities for vegans, vegetarians, and big time carnivores to eat together and be totally satisfied with the many great options available to each of them. Always shocked by how reasonable the check is too!“

“Una experiencia inolvidable! Celebré mi cumpleaños en Fusion Pancake House & Bistro y no puedo estar más agradecida. Claudia la encargada, organizó un espacio para 22 personas con tan solo un día de anticipación, lo cual fue un detalle increíble. Además, tuvieron el gesto de invitarme el desayuno por mi cumpleaños. Desde el servicio hasta la atención al detalle, todo fue impecable. Se nota el compromiso del restaurante por hacer que sus clientes se sientan especiales. Sin duda, regresaré pronto. Gracias por todo!😊💕“

“-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!“

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

“We hosted a small work dinner of 8 people and our group had such a good experience we decided do to a larger event at All Saints. We had a group of 20, the team at All Saints was excellent work with in planning this dinner. Again, our group had an excellent time. The food, drinks and service were incredible. We will be back!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, my server Tommy recommended a breakfast special he created as he also is one of the chef’s, and it was so so so good. An elevated food experience that lives up to the Minneapolis food scene’s reputation. Decor is awesome too. Thanks for the experience and recommendations Tommy, you’re the homie!!“

“We had Crave do another one of our yearly April Gala + Award Shows. This year they did our open bar at Union Depot's Red Cap Room in St. Paul. They were EXCELLENT! The bartenders were personable and professional. They provided a signature cocktail for our event that was great. Having them at our event was exactly what we were looking for and they executed it perfectly. Five Stars.“

“I booked Noa for a group dinner with 17 people needing individual separate checks. Not ideal for a server! Andrew handled it like a champ when we had people arrive throughout dinner due to delayed flights. Excellent service, delicious food, something for everyone. We had a great experience. Thanks again Andrew and Noa. I'll be back in July! :-)“

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

“Amazing food. We shared 4 plates. Each one better than we could have wished for. Possibly the best Paloma I’ve ever had. The manager Natalie took tremendous care of us. Fabulous experience.“

“Food was great!! Jackie was our server and was amazing! Fantastic service and fantastic food! ❤️“

“Love CRAVE. We were at Crave Mall of America, enjoying a quiet reunion (we hadn't seen ea other in 5 yrs). The cocktails were wonderful; I enjoyed Espresso Martinis, my friend had a Cosmo & Lemon Drop Martinis. We opted to split a delicious meal & decided on the Sirloin, med-rare w/Fingerling Potatoes & Broccolini. We also split the Cocoanut Cake for dessert - which was a lovely & tastey treat. The noise level did get a little high & distracting w/other customers-families & crying babies. I don't think that avoidable as Crave is INSIDE a mall. Crave is a higher price point. Crave (in MOA) is easily located on the 3rd floor. Entering thru Macy's (opposite of Crave), it's pretty much a straight forward trek; Crave is right next to the escalator. Our Server was Lucas, who was an absolute Gem!“

“Environment was great for a working lunch. Noise level was low and service was fast and efficient. Food was delicious, salad and French fries are always my go to at lunch and it was simply fantastic. Will definitely be back. They also carry Coke Zero which you can't find many places!“

“I am sure many reviews begin this way, but it’s true here: I rarely write reviews. We visited the Rochester location on 5/18, and we were immediately pleasantly greeted. The entire menu looks so tasty, so I ended up ordering a Wedge Salad, the Five Cheese Macaroni & Cheese to split, and a 60/40 with Truffle Fries. I LOVE Wedge salads, but this one, this one was special - the most delicious wedge salad I’ve ever eaten. The addition of the dill was unexpected but soooo welcome. The macaroni portion, even as split, was so generous and very tasty. The truffle fries were very flavorful, and the burger - I am ashamed to say I can’t attest to it because my eyes were much larger than my stomach & I had to take it to go. The rest of the crew with me all agreed their food was also delicious. If we ever have the fortune to travel back to the area, we agreed we would all come back to Red Cow. Our service was also top notch, I wish I could remember our server’s name. She was very sweet!“

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

“The food was excellent except for the temperature shrimp roll. They change the outside of it and it did not sit well with me. I ate all of the shrimp but could not eat the outside. The rest of the food was excellent except. Our server was awesome and provided excellent service.“

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

“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!“

“Amazing burgers and fries. Best in the Twin Cities. The Parmesan Truffle fries are my go to. This is the place I always bring my out of town friends and family. The service is always great, but expect a wait. They do not take reservations. Good things come to those who wait.“

“This is a excellent place to eat and drink!“

“My Ginger Chilean Sea Bass was excellent. It was seared with a sauce that may have been miso. Was a generous portion. My friend had the New York Strip steak which was very good. My other friend tried to order a wild mushroom dish, but the waitress assumed she wanted the flatbread with mushrooms but she intended to order the truffle mushroom spaghetti. Luckily, she liked the flatbread so didn't complain to our server. My Brandy Manhattan with shaker ice on the side was perfect.“

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

“Great experience, such friendly, quick service, food was delicious, steak & mimosas for breakfast were outstanding!“

“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!“

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

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

“Food is amazing 🔥🔥🔥 the short rib was awesome“

“Wonderful atmosphere, staff, music & cuisine! Highly recommended for a night out.“

“My favorite restaurant! The Oscar walleye is to die for!“

“best place in the twin cities. I remember when there was only beer and wine behind the bar and they sold single cigarettes. Dinner was a baguette and a roasted bulb of garlic and a bottle of wine. theater in the back with story tellers and fringe artists that kept this transplanted nyer here in the twin cities for 30 years.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Loved this place. Great food and service“

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️“
