Anytime I get a chance to pick up my daughter from the U of M and take her out for a nice meal, JD Hoyt's is our go-to place. We love the ambiance, the service, and the food...especially the pork chops for me! My daughter says the place has the feel of a "Frank Sinatra type of place" and she can't get over how the manager always stops to say hi and make sure everything has gone well. More

We come for the State Dance Tournament annually & only have a few hours between prelim & final competition. Therefore, we LOVE being able to make a reservation at Gluek’s (not all restaurants allow reservations this weekend!) We have both sets of Grandparents w/us, therefore, it’s nice to get in, eat, & get back to the Target Center for final competition! Friendly, quick service & good food @ good prices & EXCELLENT location near Target Center! More

Service was amazing from the yome we walked in the door. Host/manager? Was very engaging, bar service was on point. My wife asked about a wine and the BT gave her a sample. Server was very knowledgeable and offered some great recommendations. My short rib was the best in the city. One caveat, theatre nights are crazy, we had our reservation at 7:30. I would recommend that if you want a nice casual experience. More
OpenTable Diner -
Wonderful place. Went there on restaurant week and was not disappointed. Everything we had was great. Since it’s a limited menu, I ended up getting the chicken which doesn’t usually appeal to me. It was delicious. Very glad I got it. The chocolate/peanut butter ice cream dessert is a must-have. More

We will be back! It is a great alternative to the Guthrie restaurant. More

Tom was an excellent server who was very engaging & had great menu suggestions. Our cocktails were amazing and dessert was a perfect shareable. More

My husband and I had dinner there prior to going to the Guthrie on a Tuesday night. The staff was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. The noise level allowed us to enjoy the music but still talk to each other. I had the shepherd's pie and he had the fish and chips both were excellent. We will definitely consider this as an option next time we are downtown for the evening. More
OpenTable Diner -
Everything was outstanding! We had a group of 7 and the staff was wonderful. We will be back for sure ! More

Server charged me for the wrong wine, which was quite a lot more expensive than the one I ordered. I'm very glad I checked the ticket over before I paid. It brought my bill down by $20.00 after she fixed it. More

Love to go on jazz nights ...its great! The service was exceptional also More
OpenTable Diner -
Overall great service and good food. Restaurant is in a hotel, so the space was not super unique, but it was comfortable. It was reasonably quiet, but it was a slow Monday night, so tough to tell. The prime rib was very good much larger than shown on the menu(maybe 15iz vs 10 oz in the menu), but it was advertised as smoked. Not very smoky but really tasty. The walleye was very fresh, and don’t miss the roasted vegetables. Very well prepared. Drinks are good but expensive. More

We go to the Beacon either before or after Gopher basketball games. It's ideal for that! On this occasion, we had breakfast there with friends before an 11:30 a.m. game. The menu was a well-rounded breakfast menu and service and food were very good. We also like the Beacon because we can make a reservation, which is very handy when you know they will be busy. We'll go again! More

Big birthday followed by 2CELLOS concert. First time at Cosmos, originally chosen because of it’s good ratings, close proximity to Target Center. However, it turned out to be a fabulous choice for Cosmos independent of the concert venue. The four of us really enjoyed the food and the service, the warm ambiance was an enhancement. Looking forward to a return visit. More

OpenTable Diner -
Food was great as well as service. We ordered prime ribs and they were amazing. Sides are seperate and can be shared which was unique. We had the carrot and hashbrowns which were all cooked to perfection. Prices do run high at this restaurant as steaks are prime and sides are not included. Overall, it's good for a date night. More

Good service, good food and quick as we were in a hurry. Would definitely go again and Recommend More

Very hand for Orchestra Hall. Delicious cocktails, though expensive. Some of us thought the food was fine, but those who ordered walleye were disappointed. It didn't seem very fresh. The asparagus is overpriced, WAY overpriced! More

Discover North Loop of Minneapolis
Also known as the traditional warehouse district, Minneapolis' North Loop is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In between getting bites to eat, feel free to explore the three museums within the bounds of the loop, including one that features cuckoo clocks. As with many neighborhoods in Minnesota, you can find delectable Northern European delights mixed together with more well-known continental eats as well as Mexican and Asian fare. There are several places where you can find excellent, dim sum-style light lunches. You can also enjoy new American cuisine at more than half a dozen places sprinkled throughout the loop. If the mood strikes you, make the mile-and-a-half trip to Nicollet Mall and, hat in hand, channel your inner Mary Richards!
