    Minerva's is always a good choice for any occasion. We happened to dine out for my husband's birthday. I suggest adding their Market bar to your entree' for the greatest value. For just an extra 12 dollar cost their Market bar is a meal in itself. By the time you get your entree' you are too full to even eat your entree' so you have a meal to take home. I also suggest making reservations and telling the host or server if you are celebrating a special occasion. Our server came out with a delicious lemon cake with raspberry compote at no extra cost for my husband's birthday. Always a good experience and great value even at an upscale restaurant.

    I don’t like having to write this but I have to be honest. Minerva’s has lost its way. I’m sure it’s by design but there is just too many irregularities to make me want to keep going back. There was a time where there was really no question what the best overall restaurant in Sioux Falls was and Minerva’s was it. Unfortunately after the change in ownership and management those days are over for now. I have no problem if you want to reinvent the place, but then completely do that. I feel like they are trying to maintain the old while introducing the new. In my opinion they should have never tried to change the foundation it was built on. I have hope that they will find their way again, whatever that might be, but for now, I’m taking a break.

    We lunch there and almost always get the Market Salad Bar. It's delicious, and the soup is amazing!

    We are consistent visitors to Minerva’s here in Sioux Falls and this was the first time in my memory that the service was sub par. Waiter was simply inattentive and seemed like he had better places to be. Was completely out of touch and didn’t even acknowledge my wife’s birthday. It will be a while before we return.

    Waiter was attentive and helpful. Homemade blue cheese dressing was kind of runny but had real blue cheese chunks in it.

    Minerva"s has never disappointed. Our server, Mike, was great. He was very attentive but not hovering. Anxious for a return visit.

    We had a great experience. Our waiter Noah was kind and attentive. He suggested the coconut shrimp as an appetizer and it was a great choice. We had a variety of entrees and they were all phenomenal.

    So the filet was tough. Surprisingly. Duck was amazing. Also—sad story for member of the party w allergies. No communication from chef before totally unacceptable meal was presented. I expected more given the normal Minerva’s vibe.

    The restaurant was disorganized with several tables not set or uncleared. One table adjacent to us appeared to have drawing supplies and pictures piled on it. The ambiance was thus questionable. Host staff advised us our table was not ready despite being on time--evidently because of the lack of organization in the main dining room. Service, once we were seated, was fine, but the wait staff appeared stretched. We dine here often, and this is the first mediocre experience we have had.
