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!!

David Odom: First visit and was very impressed with food and service. Not the typical Italian options. Lots of variety and great desserts and cocktails.

MICHAEL Nelson: The food was great. Great atmosphere, service was good. Parking lot was full but I was able to find one. I recommend this restaurant.Parking: The lot is small and when busy it fills up fast.

Paul Economon: Delightful experience! The wait staff are impeccable. The food is delicious and the building/atmosphere is wonderful.And you might even get lucky with a parking spot.Parking: Limited

David Tetzlaff: The mushroom cappelletti is addicting. Loved the chocolate tort. I’ll definitely go back.Vegetarian options: I had the mushroom cappelletti which is the best thing I ever ate. There were other vegetarian main meal entrees, salads, and sides. I hope to try other entrees if I can ever resist ordering the mushroom cappelletti again.Parking: There’s a big free lot at the restaurant and another right across the street plus free on street parking.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and are very accommodating to kids.

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!

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.

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.

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 …

Mark: Loved the music and atmosphere. I had cheeseburger/pomme frites. Son had sandwich and wife had salad. The waitress was very pleasantDietary restrictions: Gluten free

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!

Abhishek Sood: Service was amazing, food tasted great and highly recommend butternut squash ravioli which seemed like was freshly made. Lots of options for vegetarians which is a huge plus.Vegetarian options: Any pasta or pizza on the menu can be made vegeterian which is a huge plus

amantastic: Five star experience! We adored our server who was very professional and helpful! Delicious cocktails. We loved the blue salad, which kindly was split for us. Incredible selection of wine both by the glass and the bottle. Comfortable seating/ very classy and upscale! Our entrees were beautifully plated and perfectly cooked. The house made gelato was a perfect finish. Thank you to all the amazing staff that made our experience memorable.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Steve Mcguire: Amazing establishment! Felt like I walked into a Vegas restaurant and but this place put them to shame!! The drinks were amazing, all the staff were beyond kind and friendly, the bartenders we're more like artists with fruit, and the food... man... I could write for days but alas I'm not a writer for the star and I have my own job to get back to 🤣🙏💪🙌

Ishmam Ahmed: Fhima’s blends flavorful food options with a unique, glitzy experience. Great place for a birthday, date, or gathering—and right down the street from First Ave. The espresso martini here was sublime, as was the Moroccan mint with cucumber vodka—seriously, the first sips here will knock socks off. The lamb cigars and chicken tagine are definitely great moves here—I highly recommend both. The curtained booths make for a special experience. For a restaurant serving Spanish and Moroccan food, I was expecting warmer colors to be part of the interior design. The green lighting and polished surfaces everywhere were missing a sense of warmth—giving major Slytherin common room vibes the whole time. Coupled with the fact that service was a bit spotty at times, these are minor complaints next to the splendid food and drinks.

Nonya Bidness: This spot was amazing. We went for dinner. The flavor/seasoning of the wagyu steak was perfect and it was cooked perfectly. The finger potatoes were spicy but very very good. Service was spot on and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxing. The creme brûlée was average but I can’t hold that against them. I would absolutely recommend this spot.

Andre Gueziec: I recently dined at Fhima's, where Sean, the sommelier, provided an exceptional experience. His expertise shone as he recommended the perfect wine pairing for the Pulpa dish, enhancing the flavors and making the meal truly memorable. The thoughtful guidance added a delightful touch to the overall dining experience, making Fhima's a must-visit for those seeking a harmonious fusion of exquisite cuisine and expertly curated wine selections.

Jacob Danner: my original 1915 Singapore Sling recipe from Raffles Hotel Long Bar, which he recreated flawlessly giving rise to taste buds stimulation. It was so unique, and a photograph of it is included.I proceeded to have a Moroccan dish “Lamb Meatball Tagine”. It was served to me in the tagine, and, as the server lifted the top of it, and waved it about, the aromatic signature of the dish, with its wonderful blend of Moroccan herbs and spices took me away to exotic lands and musings.Lamb Meatball TagineOnion confit, Ras Al Hanout

Jasmine Yang: My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and they honored it by giving us a free dessert and decorating our table for the occasion! We felt so cared for and our server, Ryan, was such a goofy and helpful server! The prices were high but it reflects the quality of the food! Tip: the bone marrow butter with my steak was not my favorite but if you like sweeter tasting things then go for it! Will definitely try the black truffle butter for next time. It was our first time there, and we will definitely be back. Totally recommend coming here!

Chris White: My wife, a friend, and I had the pleasure to dine at the Chophouse in April 2024 while attending a conference in Minneapolis. I'm not sure I have ever had all my expectations met at any restaurant, which I think is pretty normal. Almost no one ever hits every mark, which is ok and expected. But, this place absolutely did hit every mark.The ambiance was upscale, but perfectly retro, giving it that old school steakhouse vibe. The place was impeccably clean, and the restrooms equally perfect. Our waitress, I am sorry I can't remember her name, was the most knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive waitress I have had the pleasure to meet.The menu could not have been more thoughtfully prepared, with an appropriate level of offerings, each of which were well presented, and the food for all three of us, each ordering different types of steak offerings, was perfectly prepared and wonderful to taste. You may know by now, but my wife and I are black angus beef producers in Tennessee, so steak is something we know a little bit about.Last but not least, the wine list was most impressive I've seen in a very long time with many listed wines that are almost never offered in lesser but otherwise fine dining establishments. The manager checked on us at least twice and was very personable as well. This place was over the top and I felt it needed to be said.Dietary restrictions: I do not have dietary restrictions, but I noticed several vegan and vegetarian options on the menu.Wheelchair accessibility: The construction is ADA compliant throughout.

Annie Baby Tv: I usually do not do this but this was somethe most amazing food/service I have ever had thank a for making my day you all are great ❤️💪🏾

P “Norm De Plume” Greensward: But lobster bites

Heather Hammerstad: We walked in and my first impression wasn’t great. The manager was short and standoffish. But our waiter Aj more than made up for it. He was AMAZING. Funny, knowledgeable, patient and very welcoming. He brought out all the meat and explained what each one was and how they’re prepared. We had the A3 Wagyu ribeye, hashbrowns and scalloped potatoes. It was all great. The hashbrowns were crispy and flavorful. The scalloped potatoes had an amazing breading and cheese. The wagyu was melt in your mouth. This is our new favorite place for getting a ribeye. Thanks Aj for a memorable night.

Dana Carson: and chorizo scallops…they are still ironing out some stuff, but a good experience.Food: 5/5Recommended dishes Seafood …
