    This is truly one of my favorite spots to eat in the Twin Cities. The food is absolutely phenomenal! I adore how all the food is served to be shared with the table and all the portions are appropriately sized to order a variety of dishes. The atmosphere always adds to the overall dining experience. It is always buzzing inside and the dining room is just so beautiful. The staff members are also incredibly knowledgeable and polite. Young Joni is without a doubt a 5-star experience!

    The Beacon Public House has a new menu as of a week or so ago. My wife and I tried the Pork Belly Bowl and Carne Asada Tacos, both were very good and could be easily a meal unto themselves. In addition, I had the Pappardelle Bolognese. It was good and a lighter pasta option, but I would have liked a bit more flavors included to provide a more gastronomic experience. As always, the service was outstanding, not only with our server, but with those around the restaurant including the bar tender and hostess. An overall very enjoyable experience!

    Food was delicious. Decor was interesting. Service staff was very nice, though slow to grab our order initially. Definitely a unique and fulfilling menu with the environment to match.
