“This is my third time coming here and it is great! The “gin parade” is great, so many options. I highly recommend the new blood orange housemade tonic. Food is pretty good too. The most outstanding food is the pizza! Honestly some of the best pizza in mpls. They gave me a special dietary restrictions menu which I always appreciate so I added that here as well.Dietary restrictions: Ask for the dietary restrictions menu!!“
“AMAZING SERVICE, WONDERFUL atmosphere, well priced, FANTASTIC FLAVORS, serving portions as expected for tapas. Two of us ordered about 8 dishes and shared gor dinner, we were stuffed - could have had only 6 but wanted to try so many bcuz they were so tempting by descriptions, and they met all expectations!! They accommodated our dietary restrictions without hassle. If we lived here, we'd be regulars!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!!!!“
“I want to preface this by saying it was delicious, the service was incredible, and the atmosphere on a Friday night is lively and fun.I just can't give it 5 stars in confidence because the lychee cocktail made me incredibly, acutely ill. I was keeling over in stomach pain and retching bile within an hour of drinking it.This sucks because it was absolutely delectable and I would drink it again, lol.“
“I love how Aloft hotel has this trendy, fun bar attached to it! They offer a wide variety of cocktails, and their menu of cocktails based on music eras was super cool. The bar is super cool and has changing lights on it, while the whole room it's based in has a chill, cool ambiance. It's also nice to be able to grab a Heggie's pizza while you sip.“
“We planned on a different brunch place but the wait was too busy so we called wise acre and the wait was only 20 minutes on a Sunday morning.We didnt know what to expect with this farm to table restaurant but we were excitingly impressed! There’s just one seating area with long tables, so you’ll sit by a stranger but there’s enough space. They have a system in place to make things more efficient when ordering.The menu was great, with many options that aren’t overwhelming. Our group got a few biscuit sandwiches, the bowl, and French toast. The sandwich was exotic- definitely upgrade to bacon than sausage because it was thick bacon. The flavors of the sandwich were amazing together, and when we tried each ingredient separately it tasted different! It blew our minds how the flavors melted together. The biscuits were going to take extra time to cook, so they offered me a different vehicle of bread- I chose the croissant.Looking around the restaurant, the favorite dish was the bowl with toast and greens. It’s honestly not as expensive as I expected given the quality of food.There’s also a little pantry in the corner with home grown items. They have a freezer section with fresh meat ranging from steaks to meat stick. YUM!The place also has an outdoor heated patio on the side in addition to the tables in the front outside. Great place!!!Parking: They have a small parking lot so expect to search for free spots on the street when busy.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kids on the restaurant and kid friendly options.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs“
“Amazing atmospheric place in the heart of Minneapolis Downtown!Assorted skewers (lamb, chicken and beef) served over Basmati rice with salad and garlic toast served by Mike Kist was scrumptious!Friendly environment, swift and caring service, pleasant light music and that beautiful glass dome made the experience memorable.Will definitely come back with my friends!“
“We were visiting from VT for the World Cup and we so psyched to find this restaurant walking distance from where we were staying. It was so good that we came back the next night and got takeout for our last!! Best fish tacos I have ever had! Ecuadoran vegetable plate was delicious and the cauliflower soup was fabulous. We never had room for dessert but got the panne cotta to go and it was amazing!“
“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.“
“There so real creative genius going on here. The concept is funny to go along with food. Whole venue is toned properly, it’s warm and inviting. We tried about 6 different dishes and nothing fell short at all. Over delivery imo. The classic broth left me wanting more even after the indulgence. Took on a sake flight with surprise poor’s from our host. Can’t remember the gentleman’s name but his recs and knowledge of the drink list and menu helped to highlight how they do the work so well here. I’m town for a few days only, so happy to have found this gem. Recommend to all.“
“1/2 sandwich was really a whole sandwich, a little runny. Soup and salad were good. We split a slice of cheesecake. It was good-sized. Brought home a slice for my husband, which wasn't much bigger than the 1/2 slice. I don't know if I got the correct kind. I ordered a turtle and it was really different from the usual.“
“I spent the evening celebrating my birthday here and had a wonderful time! Ron and John, the bartenders for the evening were spot on. My friend and I were introduced to a new Rum and I am so hooked. Needless to say, it was a great way to end my birthday! If you're worried about it being cold, the heat lamps they have will keep you plenty warm. They do have a DJ the does the job well. When you start at the AC hotel by Marriott stop up on the 6th floor.“
