Best Portuguese Restaurants In Minneapolis Near Me

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.

John & Mary Z: . Least, the bacalau. Service was good but stumbled on spice levels. The place was packed and we were jammed in.

Jeffrey Griffin: A fantastic meal with exceptional service. All of the pastas were fantastic, MEZZALUNA, Radiatore, and Rigatoni were table highlights. The Shrimp Appetizer was also a table hit. The best salad was so fresh and colorfulServer was attentive, funny, personable. This is a great place for a date, family gathering. An intimate space with clean and pleasing décor.Simply a must visit if you are in the Twin Cities.

Cora: Lovely!! Highly recommend.

Katelyn Schramke: Haloumi cheese - the green sauce and bean salad paired nicely with the fried haloumi cheese, I would order this again.

Sai Rohit Chimakurthi: Great service and amazing food. The place certainly lives up to the high ratings everywhere.I didn’t exactly know what to expect from the Southern European cuisine but every dish I ordered was delicious. The desserts were astounding as well.I highly recommend everyone to check this gem out. I’m definitely going back to try more things from the menu.

Jake Dungy: Writing this in the car immediately after our meal. My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate her birthday and were immediately pleased. As we sat down at our table, we were greeted with two complimentary little glasses of sparkling wine, which was a really nice touch. Our server Mark was absolutely fantastic. We asked if he had anything to recommend and he went into great detail on everything he loved on the menu. Now the two of us were both pretty stoned at this point so that may have colored our perspective, but we were both very impressed. Every dish he described to us sounded incredible and his knowledge of the menu was super helpful in making our decisions. Every single dish we had was fantastic. Three courses and we didnt leave a crumb of anything. They even brought bread to finish off the sauce of our entree! This was easily one of the best restaurant experiences i’ve had in a long time and i will be coming back very soon

El Gato: . They made sure we were happy with our orders, helped answer questions about various dishes and items, and were sincere in caring that we were completely satisfied.At the end of our meal we were greeted by the owner of Grill Hall, Elaine, who was extremely nice and very thankful for our patronage. We made sure to let her know what a great establishment she had and the great service being provided by top level restaurant professionals under her leadership.Final thoughts:Grill Hall is a "must go to" for your "steak and meat night" out.It's right off US 169 on 63rd in Southern Maple Grove just north of Plymouth. You won't see it from the highway and unfortunate Bridge work further obstructs the view, but fortunately doesn't interfere with the entrance to a very spacious parking lot out front ofcthe restaurant. It is nested in the middle of a V-shaped mini-strip-mall, across the street from a gas station at the top of the off-ramp on 63rd off of US 169, a mile or so south of I-694/94.This is a #1 recommended location, worthy of a short drive from downtown MPLS, and even worth the drive from as far east as St. Paul.Check out and dine at the Grill House Brazilian Steakhouse in Maple Grove, you will not regret that you did!Rating: 5 Stars +

Andy Ruegemer: Fantastic food and great service. We brought our two young children and they were very accommodating. Also, kids 6 & under eat free. For the price, you really can’t beat it!Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating to us with two young children.

Heidi Draeger: Great place for date night! The food is great, salad bar is perfect and very very neat and tidy. Loved that the hot foods were in a completely separate spot from all the cold. Nice selection but not overwhelming. The meat was pretty perfectly cooked. Not the vast variety of other Brazilian steak house's, but that didn't matter because it was all cooked so well we really didn't miss anything. Really is worth a stop and for me, probably a repeat. I also love that it's a smaller business, and we really need to support the little guys especially when they're doing something great. Go here.

Calista Adeboye: . I probably wouldn’t come back to the North Loop location for those reasons, but I will absolutely order takeout from their other location inside United Noodle in the future.

MFF: We have visited Hawaii close to 10x and Kauai is our favorite island. This is legit Hawaiian food and I am glad we have this in the Twin Cities. We live in the birthplace of Spam - legit Spam musubi like what you would get at the islands.

Maria T: Great food and great Workers. I got to talking with one of them and they are super friendly.Me and my SO love to come here and get the combo plates and have leftovers for lunch the next day since the portions are big for what you pay for. We paid about 15-17 per plate.My favorite is the Katsu and Mac salad.

Derrick J: Only went there once, and had the bbq rib plate. It was better than most Hawaii’n spots I’ve been to. A little pricer than I would like, but the food was good. 9/10

Richard Lichty: Recommended dishes

Luna Moreno: Good food and a good environment. Portions are pretty big for the price so definitely worth it. Was surprised it was like a small food court in there but very well organized. We enjoyed the food but it was a little too greasy in my opinion so I got tired of the taste quickly. I’d come again, but get a plate to share with someone else.Dietary restrictions: Can find lactose free options

T Jordan: Rhett was our server and he was great! Very friendly and attentive. There was never a moment where are glasses were empty he was always there for refills. He answered any questions that we had for him. This was the best service we had during our Minneapolis trip. The food was 10/10 of course very flavorful and came out very quickly. Highly recommend coming in and ask for Rhett to be your server, he was that good!

Nancy Nan: I came to this place by myself for a national conference. The overall experience was awesome! I booked a bar place since I am on my own but they were flexible about siting me at one of the table when the bar was full. The food I ordered were amazing. I ordered spicy shrimp, grilled sprouts, and classic brûlée! They taste amazing. One of the bar tenders are so nice to check on me frequently and make me feel like I am not alone. I like it so much! I will definitely recommend it!

Dave Schmidt: Another great experience at Ruth’s Chris! You continue to live up to expectation.Parking: Plenty of options that are close.

Jay: Was in celebrating my birthday with 5 people and Lynn NEVER skipped a beat. Provided my vegitarian friends with ideas for food and provided excellent service while catering to other more challenging diners. 10+ stars. Thanks Lynn and Ruths Chris team!!

Alyssa Hernandez: Rotisserie chicken plate with green sauce was perfection. Yuca fries were great. Mac and cheese and corn bread were delicious. Personally I’d pass on the plantains and creamed spinach. But this food was soooo good.Food: 5/5 …

Laurisa Donte: I rook a work meeting here and agreed based on the experience of the person who invited me.I'm so glad we did this. The food was so good that it was hard to focus on business. I asked my waiter about every dish I saw coming from the kitchen.I'll be back!Next time, I'm trying the chicken bowl.Enjoyed my fried fish, by the way seasoned to perfection and with spice. The famous green sauce....MORE PLEASE.They didn't have cheese grits, but I had the Mac and Cheese instead. Whew, I just needed a little more cheese on top, but I still could not stop eating it once I started.Closest to Southern style I have experienced up here.I had the Yuca fries and requested them hot PEPPAS!!!Oh, and did I mention the corn in the cornbread 😋... the way I make it at home.GET YOU SOME BRASA. 😀

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!

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!

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!

Hailey Reynolds: This was my first time trying Brazilian cuisine and it was amazing! On top of that, the staff was incredible! I learned so much about the dishes and culture. The server was very personable. This place provides such a comfortable environment. The staff definitely wants to teach others so don’t be afraid if you aren’t familiar with the culture. They are so happy to answer your questions. I will be going back over and over again. Definitely would recommend! Great cocktail drinks and desserts as well. The staff even served people after closing time and didn’t at all even nudge at the fact that it was past closing time. They were just as happy to serve them as if they had just opened for the day. Genuine people and spectacular food!

Wendy “Wendy”: Delicious! Clean & friendly. Hope to go back again
