If you are looking for a classic steakhouse vibe with great food to match look no further. This place was amazing, our server, Sam was wonderful, and the food was great. We got three different cuts of steak and had them cut up for us so our table could try them all. The filet mignon was so buttery and tender, the new York was delicious, but the show stopper was the Manny's cut. Apparently, they don't always have that cut available and recommend you call in advance if you want that particular cut of meat and I highly recommend you do. We got lucky and they had one available and got it on Sam's recommendation and I can say it was the best steak I've ever had! More

A great meal once again at Hoyt's! The grilled lobster tail is now my eternal favorite thing to order. That is a not to be missed entree. Didn't care as much for the crab cakes, as they were covered in a bernaise sauce that wasn't my favorite. I would order that sauce on the side next time. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities. More

Zen Box food and drink menus have changed significantly from perhaps 6 months ago. Although quality and service are still good, the variety is more limited. Unfortunately not a welcome change. More

We celebrated our 30th anniversary at Tullibee, which they remembered with a complimentary Prosecco toast. The squash soup was sublime and everything afterward was excellent. Our server Philip was attentive without being a pest. In all, a wonderful evening. More

The service was fantastic - everyone was attentive from the moment we walked in the door. Our group was from out of town and our server was engaging and helpful not only with our meal but with tips about the area. The food was excellent! More

Excellent food. The tuna and the halibut were outstanding in particular. More

Great gem of a restaurant hidden amongst the sea of options in the downtown area. A group of guys went to Mercury before a show at First Ave and we all had a great time. The Brussel sprouts were amazing along with these 'adult' chicken fingers appetizers. The beef stroganoff was amazing and it was nice that it wasn't a thick creamy heavy sauce and instead it had an incredible beef sauce with goat cheese for the creaminess. Lots a great beers ontap including several of their own beers. Definitely a place to return to again. Lastly,,,,, very reasonably priced for a downtown venue. More

We were at the final four I. Minneapolis and had to get out quickly to make it to the game. We were served very efficiently and cordially. Btw, the food was awesome! More
OpenTable Diner -
Definitely an iconic place to visit. Food was a little more refined/better than the classic/delish diner style food. It was by no means fancy or overwhelming. The Weekender Bloody Mary is great! Large, strong and filling. Really fun place for a laid back group. More
OpenTable Diner -
Somehow, restaurants like this need to survive and be supported. There are many good restaurants downtown despite what some media/restaurant critics who live in the 'burbs thnk. The food at Fhima is great, the space is magnificent. More

Hells Kitchen is our go-to place for birthdays, as well as when we just want an awesome meal (can’t beat the Huevos). Our latest visit was for my wife and I celebrating our birthdays. Food was very good as always and we were fortunate to be able to be there when there was live music (the wonderful Cornbread Harris). Our family loves Hell’s Kitchen!! More

Spring has arrived and Esker Grove is a wonderful place to take in the sunshine with their giant windows facing the garden. They have also made some menu changes for the new season and they were outstanding. We stopped in and ate at the bar and enjoyed the roasted asparagus with crayfish and little lemon sections. It was delicious as was the eggplant side. Can't ever go wrong with the fennel and blue cheese salad. Sweet and salty and crunchy! We had such a good meal that I returned the next day for brunch. First time with the brunch menu and it didn't disappoint. We sampled veggie hash with poached egg and the avocado toast with crab. Both were spectacular and hearty in size and substance. Gem in the city! More

Pre-play dinner. Seated quickly, had a reservation but was seated between kitchen and bar so a little busy but probably not any noisier. Somehow I feel when you make a reservation you should get preferential treatment but obviously not. Having said that, service was good. My friend’s order was wrong, server and manager quickly realized it, apologized and took it off our bill. They were both gracious and wanted to make it right. I ordered appetizer tacos and they were very filling and quite adequate for a light meal. Good experience overall and will definitely go back. More

Gets to be very crowded on event nights. Great food More

Really fast service! Our food was great—especially liked the butternut squash ravioli. The cocktails were pricey—and prices were not listed on the drink menu. It was quite easy to visit, even though tables are quite close. Overall very positive experience. Can’t wait to go back when we can eat outside. More

One suggestion, the red beans and rice dish was not cooked completely. As a southerner, beans should be soft, but firm, beans were hard. Also, you may want to study how this dish is prepared in New Orleans, beans are in a bowl, a scup of rice on the center on top. Wings were great, and 99.9% of the time, I enjoy your food. Respectfully and best regards. More

Really great food! Comparable pricing to other downtown restaurants. Comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere as well. I definitely recommend, and definitely want to go back to try other dishes. More

The service was not very quick, over half hour for food to arrive. We gave ourselves plenty of time and everything was delicious, but if you are seeing a show I’d give lots of time. We were there a little before 5 for a 7:00 show. More

This place has something for everyone. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and she's a big fan of meat & potatoes. The well-seasoned and expertly carved meats were right up her alley, as were the tasty mashed potatoes. I'm a gluten-free vegetarian who found lots of fresh and tasty options on the Market Table salad bar. And the service is always friendly and attentive. Everyone was happy! More

An awesome experience! I originally went there to re-create a Mary Tyler Moore moment, but it was much more than that! The host and our waitress were extremely attentive and our food was fantastic! We even got extra complimentary dessert (which was also great) because we came around closing time. The interior design was modern and beautiful. And of course we got to sit at the MTM table! Would highly recommend this place if you're ever in the downtown Minneapolis area! 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

We would appreciate NOT having to listen to whatever awful music comes from the adjacent huge space. It would be so nice to be able to actually hear one's dinner partners without having to strain. Also, the servers work hard, but there aren't enough of them! 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!
