Best Fine Dining Restaurants In Minneapolis Near Me

Nora Hyde: . I ordered Lobster & Crab Cakes, Lobster Mac & Cheese, and the Tenderloin & Lobster entree. Incredible quality of food and service. Highly recommend.

Jackie Kramer: We both just retired so went to the Capital grille for a celebratory dinner and it did not disappoint!!! Angel was our server and he was outstanding! Our food was prepared perfectly and they gave us a lovely cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake with fruit since we were first time customers. Don’t waste your time going elsewhere- this is our new favorite special restaurant. Thank you Angel!!! You made our night even more special!

Nicole Schauer Wagner: Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere. Our friend Mike Lopac in the bar was amazing!

Donald Josephson: Recommended dishes Porcini Rubbed Bone in Ribeye with 15-Year Aged Balsamic

Kevin Biegler: Hadn't been to Oceanaire in many years. Now I cannot remember why and we will be back much much sooner. Stopped in on whim after the Twins opener sat at the bar. The signature Old Fashioned is beyond compare. The raw bar was fresh and their oysters incredibly delicious. We did a series of appetizers and cocktails the bar staff was friendly and efficient and fun! It was still the same great Oceanaire we remembered and we won't be waiting to go back! Thanks for a great evening!

Francis Henry: Always a 5 star experience!!Recommended dishes Seafood …

Jonathan Robinson: Absolutely phenomenal food and experience. Our server Louis was beyond amazing as he took the time to explain the dishes, cocktails, and so much more. Hat's off!Speaking of dishes, the bison tartare was increibly good, but we were blown away by the flavor of the duck ragu in the Torchietti. We had it made gluten-free to accommodate my wife's dietary needs, and the pasta was still delicious! We didn't stop there, adding an order of the pork chop for me and Alaskan halibut for my wife. The flavor profile on the pork chop dish was insanely big, bold, and wonderful. It was such a contrast to the halibut, which was also wonderful but much more delicate. Both were great. We were stuffed. There was no room for dessert, but since we had let it be known we were out celebrating a special event, we were not to leave without a wonderful little celebration treat. It was much appreciated!Our seating was at the Chef's Counter, and it couldn't have been more perfect. It gave us witness to all the incredible work going on in the kitchen as well as all the dishes that were getting prepped. TheDietary restrictions: My wife is gluten-free, and not only do they accommodate this with some of their dishes they go above and beyond to communicate between the waiter and kitchen about the dietary needs. This shows up starting with bread basket modifications, moves into extra tasting bites supplied to us from the head chef, and follows through to all our entrees and special desserts. Phenomenal staff coordination and cooperation.

Raquel Tabor: Recommended dishes Pot Roast

Akshaya Bhagavathula: My recent dinner at Spoon and Stable in Minneapolis was an experience that truly stood out in my culinary adventures. This beautifully restored horse stable turned restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance that set the tone for a remarkable evening.The menu, curated by Chef Gavin Kaysen, is a testament to his expertise and commitment to showcasing the best of Midwest ingredients with a French twist. We started with the foie gras terrine, which was rich and perfectly balanced, and it became an instant favorite at our table. For my main course, I chose the duck breast, which was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a side that complemented the duck without overshadowing it.What really made our meal unforgettable was not just the food but the service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about their work. They recommended excellent wine pairings that elevated our dining experience.The dessert rounded off the evening on a high note, with creative and delightful options that were as beautiful to look at as they were to taste. The ambiance, service, and exquisite cuisine made Spoon and Stable a dining destination that I can't recommend highly enough. Whether for a special occasion or a treat-yourself night out, this restaurant promises an evening that’s both enchanting and satisfying.

Bethany Charlsen: We've dined here many times and every meal is a unique experience. It's an ideal place to come with friends or just your partner to sit back and enjoy the creativity and care of the chefs and staff. I love that the kitchen staff serves the food as you can tell from the passion in their descriptions, they are proud and eager to share it with you.The bar next door is a perfect place for a pre- or post-dinner cocktail which is a huge bonus! In addition, you can bring your own wine and enjoy with the meal for a very reasonable corkage fee.

Alton Gerold: My girlfirend and I went last night 1/10/24 and had their date night special, all courses were excellent, service was great! We will certainly be returning in the future. Good idea to visit both this location and Parlour in the basement if you are making a trip to the cities for either restaurant.Parking: Parking was very easy for us on a Tuesday as a spot was open in the paid parking lot 20 feet from door, on a weekend it may be tougher as this area has more limited parking and is very busy on weekends. Likely valet would be the way to go on the weekend and visit both Borough and Parlour to get full value!

Felix Gill: It is a small kitchen environment. Seats about 25 people max. We got the eleven course Whitney meal. Great presentation.Had a lovely time.Parking: Use the valet.

Vitor Yamaoto: You walk in into a small yet inviting waiting area with a small bar. If you got the pre drink package, you get a small menu of crafted cocktails or you can ask the bartender to make your own. After your introductory drink, they take you to the dining area which is a U shaped are with the kitchen in the center. You get an amazing experience from start to finish with 7 to 11 courses; you won't leave hungry. The wine pairing is carefully selected for a perfect match to each dish. The food is TOP NOTCH. They way the flavors come together in your pallet is really an experience you need to have for yourself.

Bethany Charlsen: We’re hard to impress, fussy and difficult. This place continues to top our list of the best in the Twin Cities and even US/worldwide.Yes, it’s deserving of at least two Michelin stars. The ambience, cuisine, and staff are remarkable.Yes, you might need to save up for a dinner here although the Barrington option offered Wednesday, Thursdays and Sundays is lovely and a steal at $95/pp.Yes, every time you go the experience will be a bit different yet still the same in some ways with those gooey, warm Rice Krispie treats at the end as an example.Yes, the staff is passionate and eager to share their expertise and showcase their knowledge with you and….Yes, you will feel cared about and valued as a guest. Every time.

Anna Torgerson: Hell yeahRecommended dishes Truffles, Wagyu Beef Recommendation for vegetarians Highly recommend …

Linda McLoon: I love to cook, and I love dining out. I love to try new foods and foods cooked in different ways. I find the complex mixtures of ingredients to make a totally new dish fun and exciting. If this is you, you will adore Demi. The food is sublime, the ambience serene, and the service is impeccable and joyful.From the moment we stepped inside, we felt welcomed. We started with a warm broth made from roasted beets. Light and warming. The first course was a triple. The sweet potato tart with pickled kombu, nori, black truffle, and miso was absolutely scrumptious. The other two small bites were lovely, but, oh my, that sweet potato tart! These were followed with a lovely fresh scallop crudo, beautifully plated. I adore foie gras, and the Demi version was slices of a terrine served with prune and preserved lemon. The foie gras was smooth; this was really yummy.The fish course was sturgeon, interestingly served with rutabaga puree and little slices of crispy rutabaga. This really worked.The pasta dish was so delicious, and I mean really, really delicious. This is the type of pasta you think about for days. These were chestnut agnolotti, served with celery root, cognac cream, and pomegranate. I could have eaten a huge bowl of these. A triumph in flavor and texture. Mmmmm!The duck and beef courses were also delicious, cooked perfectly, with perfect accomplishments. I had to laugh at the cheese course, as it was actually a cheese tartlet, with endive marmalade and pine nuts. These were perfect.We had a delicious sorbet palate cleanser, and a very interesting sunchoke bavaroise and ice cream dessert. And you leave with a little box of candies. This is a nice touch.Eating here is an adventure in deliciousness. Every dish is beautifully plated on interesting service ware. Your water glass never goes unfilled. You are served at your own pace. The staff is clearly and justly proud of what they are serving you.I have eaten at some magnificent restaurants in Copenhagen, Barcelona, France, and this absolutely meets the standard of those Michelin starred restaurants - and better than some.It is not cheap. You know what you are getting into when you reserve your table. However, the food is divine.If you like to know what you are going to eat before you get it, this is not the place for you. If sturgeon with rutabaga puree gives you pause, this is not the place for you. If, however, you are willing to put your meal in some very capable hands, and don't bat an eye at eating smoked white fish, broccolini, and caviar, you will fall in love with Demi.

Gabriela Seidel: put it, made me not miss wine.Thank you Demi for taking such good care of us and for giving us a night to remember!

Carolyn Livingston: Just go. It's perfect. Staff was amazingly friendly and made the evening for us.

Jeremy: Weee! That was fun. No idea what the second seating is doing, our reservation was at 5:30, didn't get home till after 9. Go early, it's an adventure. Even the bathroom was meditative and romantic. Not sure what else to say about it. It's a great experience. All the dishes were fantastic but for me the vegetables really shined. I know a full 11 course vegetarian menu would never sell but they could pull it off.

Chris Valenty: A truly memorable dining experience, definitely lives up to the high praise. We had been waiting for a while to visit Demi, we had seen the stellar reviews for a few years now. The dining experience is very immersive with the open kitchen format. Being able to speak to the chefs as they deliver each course, really helped us understand the creativity and depth of flavors in each dish. As a fan of the Netflix Show “Chef’s Table”, this is first dining experience I’ve had in Minneapolis that felt like a world-class fine dining experience like you would see on Chef’s Table.

Joan L: was in front of our order, so she offered us a side dish to accompany our main meals and we added the sweet potatoes.🐓 The main entrées were well done — chicken was beautifully carved and presented. The skin was tasty. The black rice and sauce were nice compliments to the meat.🐖 The pork chop was a beautiful, thick cut of meat. We ordered it medium and it may have been ever so slightly cooked a little under medium. Seasoning was perfect and had a nice, tart flavor coming through with the sauerkraut.🍠 🌟 WOW! 🤩 The sweet potatoes were the star of the evening! Sweet, savory, bright and fresh with lemon, crispy skins… just wow! Order the sweet potatoes!!🍰 For dessert, we ordered the chocolate panna cotta and olive oil cake. Both were absolutely stunning and would fit right in at any patisserie! Excellent flavors, textures, and presentation! Faultless!I’ll definitely be coming back!

Nicole Gislason: We had the most wonderful experience for my sister's 30th birthday dinner. It was a curated menu where the plates just came out in courses. You let the server know what dietary needs you had at the beginning... We started out with some great cocktails and then a wonderful recommended wine. We loved every single part of this meal and experience. Do not miss this!

Emily Fowler: Brandi and Cc did a wonderful job with our large group of 35 people. They were on top of water refills, taking dishes, and making sure we always had our drinks filled!Parking: There are plenty of options available to park.

Brandyn Rubeck: Cool staff killer food.They have a little bit of everything.The Halibut is fire, and so is the octopus.

Annslie Rustad: So if you're wondering is this place as good as their reviews, yes absolutely. Not only is the atmosphere intimate and cozy, the staff is knowledgeable and fantastic, but the food is even better. We went for our 1st year wedding anniversary and my only regret is not visiting sooner. The food is top notch. That's the review. Couldn't be better. Everything you eat will be cooked to perfection and satisfying.

N. Dendinger: , was fantastic and attentive. The staff were professional and pleasant and we felt quite at ease. My only critique is that the restaurant was a bit cold and awkwardly spread.The food was absolutely delicious. We loved the burrata toast, 112 tartare, the dumpling, and desserts. We also greatly enjoyed the NA drinks. But wow, the lamb entree was to die for. It reminded me of my grandmother's delicious slow cooked lamb dishes and made me joyful. The menu was unfussy and well priced.My husband and I have had poor restaurant experiences for a couple years now and lamented that eating out was just not worth the cost anymore. 112 Eatery completely changed our minds. We are thrilled to find our new favorite spot in Minneapolis- We will be back for more!

Hannah Wetterlin: . There were a few salad options and a vegan pasta. I had the pasta and it was AMAZING. So were the cauliflower florets

Michael Shay: This is a great place to eat, the food is phenomenal and so are the people working. This place is for more mature kids and and adultsKid-friendliness: It os for more mature kids and adults

Grace Berg: Located in the W Hotel and first floor of the Foshay Tower, liked the location. The room is one big room with tables everywhere almost shoved together so it gets really loud, lots of business and big group dinners.Steak lacked flavor overall, I would return but because of the steaks but the apps and sides. Great service, attentive, more than helpful and went above and beyond for us.Great sides, loaded hash browns are monstrosities and had enough to feed everyone and then some. Also fair selection of desserts that were also sharing size - everything is jumbo it seems. Full bar menu and tons of options.

Kinkel Kinkel: Lamb chops were large and melt in your mouth amazing. Highly recommend the truffle fries and asparagus for sides.Easily some of the best cheesecake I've had.

Ops Doctor: The experience is pure top line steakhouse. The atmosphere is perfect. The staff are fabulous. Portions are giant. The key lime pie was big enough for 3. Potatoes were delish. Pie among the best I've had. The Manny's Manhattan was very good. The disappointment was the steak. It was not on par with a premier steakhouse. Not as favorable or juicy as it should have been. Plus, it had a lot of gristle. This is a 200 a plate or more place.

Anna Mikell: . I enjoyed my meal too quickly to take photos, but I did snap a pic of the "Death by Chocolate" dessert. It was made with love and delicious!

Sue: Perfect for a birthday celebration! Husband and I each had the large filets, son had double porterhouse and they were all perfectly done. Service was friendly and excellent. Sides of loaded mashed potatoes and mushrooms were good for 3 people and we had a little extra.Decadent Bailey’s cake available for son’s birthday, which was perhaps the best dessert ever. Staff made the occasion seem festive and special without drawing attention of other guests, which we really appreciated.Parking: Valet available for a fee, plus several ramps available within 1-2 blocks.

Jack Miller: This place is great, my wife and I were in from our of town to celebrate our anniversary and from the moment you enter the front door to the moment you exit, the customer service is absolutely phenomenal. I've been to the oceanaire for seafood, I've been to Murrays for steaks. Here I got the lobster tail and the dry aged ribeye, in my opinion both courses beat the oceanaire and Murrays. Yes, you're going to have to open your wallet up for this experience, but I promise it's worth it. The lobster tail was fantastic and the steak was excellent.. overall this place is a 9.5/10. The only thing that held it back for me is the bone marrow, I wasn't upset at the price of anything except for that item, for what you pay you get very little. The apple wood smoked bacon is fantastic, I highly recommend that for an appetizer. The cocktails are great, yes expensive, but they're loaded. The customer service? Phenomenal, best experience I've had anywhere. The waiter was knowledgeable, excited, and friendly. I've never seen steak sold before, this place does it and it's one of the best parts of the experience. Overall fantastic place for a special occasion. We will be back!

James Conley: Visited Mannys after a Vikings game. Best Steakhouse I’ve ever dined at. Bout all I can say… the best!

Christine Hubert: Such a great experience! I made reservations for my husband’s birthday on a Friday night. They sat us immediately and told us they saved us a booth. Then they made us a complimentary birthday drink. The food was delicious and drinks were good. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will put this on our “restaurants list” for future fine dining options!

JANN BERGLUND: Drove 4 hours for my bday and can't wait until my next! In love with the octopus! Fun vibe, great service and unique drinks.Vegetarian options: Very fresh and creative options.

Tanner Samson: Nice location, upscale restaurant with a good atmosphere and amazing food

Kathleen Heinlen: Romantic bar with wonderful pre-play drinks and food next to the Guthrie Theater!🍷🍸🎭

Luke Erickson: Great food!

Kimberly doherty: Excellent service and great food! Great location to eat before a show at the Guthrie!

Lalo Quillo: Nice place and great food

Hey You Yeah You: I enjoyed everything about this place.

Devin Fisher: Some of the best seafood I’ve had and I’m surprised I found it in Minneapolis. Make sure you try the grilled octopus. You won’t be sorry. Ok, maybe you will but only because you can’t have it every night.

Jordan Schmidt: Phenomenal menu and service

David Haines: Sat at the bar. Great food, attentive service. 10/10 will be back

Adeola Adekunle: Веселая атмосфера! Напитки перед ужином Grabber. Не могу дождаться, чтобы попробовать полноценный обед.

Tom Fischer: Unbelievable breakfastRecommended dishes …

Eli Amouzou: A fabulous restaurant with good service.

Greg Aulwes: Had a fantastic birthday dinner there with my wife and friends. Our server did a great job with recommendations, as we took all of his except for swapping one plate for another. The drinks were also on point.Dietary restrictions: Kitchen is entirely gluten free.

Elizabeth Mo: Had a wonderful dinner date here on a Wednesday night. It was still a very busy night for the resturant, meaning there were some tables that were spaced inches apart in the main area and making it loud enough that conversation was occasionally difficult to hear.The food though, was wonderful. We started with a couple of cocktails, the Mamakuna and La Clandestina, both of them were tasty, being fruity and light, in their respective ways. The first food we got was the masa & guacamole along with the corn elote, which go together in a fun mix-n-match way. For mains, we got chicken tinga tostadas and the seared scallops. The chicken tinga was a lot of savory deliciousness without being to heavy and the seared scallops were full of vibrant flavors, and surprisingly spicy with the salsa macha. And of course, we got the churros for dessert. They were fun and tasty, with the dulce de leche and sweetend cream, I definetly favored the cream, but I'm less of a sugar person.I would love to go again, but I think I will wait until the patio is open to get some more elbow room and bring down the noise level.Parking: The parking lot is very small, fewer than a dozen spots. There is plenty of street parking, but it's a busy area.Wheelchair accessibility: There is no curb on entry. The entranceway is pretty tight, it's got a straight hall to the left inside the front door, straight to the front desk. To get into the seating area is a right turn from facing the desk.In the seating area, there is very little room between tables, to the point where some of the tables are literally inches apart.There is a wide through path to the back of the building, where kitchen and restrooms are located. The restrooms are roomy but have low toilets.

Kate Nelson: This is my second year celebrating my birthday at Colita, and I couldn’t be happier. Our server, Theo, was wonderful and brought us free samples of the very tasty house-made Curado de Peranja. I wouldn’t have ordered it on my own but I’m so glad I got to try it, I ended up buying a round for my friends because we enjoyed it so much. So light and fruity. We then started with the masa & guacamole, which was so tasty. All of our dishes were wonderful and rich. Don’t forget to save room for dessert- the churros are to die for! I wish they still had the brownie and the tres leches though. They had them last year and they were both very good. However, the churros were the best so I’m glad they kept them. The Octopus al Pastor was pretty good, but the tacos and tostadas are where colita really shines. Can’t wait for next year!Dietary restrictions: Entirely gluten free!

Alan Bates: It is hard to put into words the amazing experience that we had here at Kaiseki Furukawa in Minneapolis. This was the single best meal we have ever had in our lives. It was an honor to dine with Shigeyuki Furukawa and his team. Our minds were blown by the quality of ingredients and the thought and care that went into the design of each item on the 10+ course menu. We also had a sake pairing that added another element throughout. This restaurant is truly a world class gem and we are lucky to have it here here in Twin Cities.

Blake Schmidt: and specially printed menus. We have been doing Kado downstairs, but came upstairs for this. Very, very good.5th Edit: Another Valentine’s Day!

Alisha: My first kaiseki I’ve ever done and I was blown away. The quality of the service and ingredients are top notch. Very worth it.

Blake Nhul: .I've been to some nice places around here but this was truly a different experience that I don't think I could get anywhere around here. Chef Furukawa, thank you for the meal and I look forward to taking my Grandma here one day 🙂.

Robert Wohlfeil: Such an amazing experience, both with the chefs and service, as well as with our fellow diners. I couldn't have asked for a more intimate yet communal dining adventure.

Tari Jung: Been to kaiseki multiple times and it's always been an utmost pleasure. It's a wholesome experience you will find nowhere else.

Quyen Tang: A delicious experience with amazing drink pairings.Dine in: Yes …

Pak Hoi Tung: Great experience, great service, great chef, great meal.Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: No Takeout: No Delivery: No Curbside pickup: No …

Mayna Xiong: . Food was delicious and well plated. I didn't think I was going to be full from a tasting menu but by the end of it, I was surprisingly full and satisfied. The menu changes monthly as the chef uses ingredients that is in season. Expensive but well worth it. Will definitely be returning.

Jeffrey Wright: A very nice representation of what a Kaiseki dinner should look like. Not all dishes exceeded great heights - but overall Furukawa san and his team are bringing proper Japanese food to Minneapolis.The February meal is very very nice and highly recommended.They are working on some very interesting no-alcohol pairings which really hit the mark. Sounds like a work in progress but so for some pretty great offerings.I am eager to see how the team can further push themselves in 2021 and beyond. I will return again soon.Highly recommended.

Ann McGuire: This is a wonderful experience! The food, the service, the owner - all very special.

Laurel Marsh: After falling in love with kaiseki cuisine on my trips to Japan, I was overjoyed when I learned of a restaurant opening up in Minneapolis. The food is elegantly presented and the seasonal ingredients are delicious. I am fondly remembering the Hassun course for the traditional Osechi New Years foods eaten in Japan for good luck in the upcoming year. Many people might be confused by this food and the way it is presented but the way the Japanese prepare and present food is very different from Americans. Yes, it is pricey compared to most other restaurants but that is entirely due to the fact that 80% of this menu had to be imported from Japan. Authentic Japanese food is so hard to find in the Midwest and this rare gem is so appreciated. I encourage everyone to give it a try if they can and to keep an open mind. You may not love everything but I promise you will find something that will surprise and delight you!ありがとうございました、ふるかわ様。おいしいかった。ごちそうさまでした。

Vicki Tam-Anderson: Our evening at Kaiser Furukawa was perfect. Everyone on staff -- incredible, friendly, and knowledgable. The food -- thoughtful, surprising, and delicious. So much attention was given to the little details. I highly recommend having dinner here!

Amelia Strite: Absolutely suburb. I love this place.

Jordan Hermann: If you've never been? Go. Nothing ever changes. It's a time warp. I'm surprised you can't still smoke at Jax. Classic supper club. Ya get yer shrimp cocktail, yer ceasar salad, and a huge slab of prime rib and wash it all down with a Gibson. All served to you by a waitress that's most likely worked there for 30 years and has an old timey name like "Dolores". Or you can always catch your own trout out of the stream on their garden patio, that's always fun.
