Whittier Restaurants

The Icehouse Minneapolis is the go to restaurant for great music and outstanding food and service. I have never had a bad experience here and I have been going since it opened. 

Always good experience - you can count on it! Dined twice in past week at Christo s, and wait staff both times have been so kind! Warmly greeted upon entering and leaving. Reasonably priced and parking is a much appreciated. So glad you are still on Nicollet!

I was surprised to need a reservation, as the restaurant was completely empty when we got there. The cashier and person behind the counter were friendly, but there were a few items that were "out" (which surprised me, since the restaurant was empty). Also, there was no water, and they had to go next door. (The dispenser was empty.) The food was fine. I was looking for Jerk Chicken, and this chicken wasn't fully seasoned. It was a little smokey, but not what I was hoping for. It tasted a bit bland and was more like pulled pork. It wasn't the "fire-grilled jerk chicken" that was advertised. (Maybe they gave me the pork by mistake...) I am sure the sauces are intended to supplement, but I wanted it to be better (and the sauces were more like bottled bbq sauce than Jerk sauce.) The curry vegetables and coconut rice/beans were delicious. It wasn't cheap. My entree was $18+. I just wanted it to have more flavor. The staff was sweet.

Always an amazing meal, service, bar selections! We are always surprised at the value for what we are getting! (So much fresh and perfect food!) Make a reservation! (especially on the weekends!)

A great way to start the new year! Love the sausage bread with the small batch house-made peanut butter. And the lemon ricotta pancakes are a favorite. Lovely guitar vocalist played during our visit. Happy New Year!
