This is such a wonderful spot. Was a nice place to have our last pre shut down restaurant meal.

We had a beautiful time on 11/20/20. Even with the statewide looming restaurant lockdown starting the next day, all of the staff was incredibly friendly and fun and professional and the food was amazing! I highly recommend the Nicollet Island Inn for any day of the week. You won’t regret it!

We had a lovely dinner, the food was excellent ! Our server Rebecca was top notch. Such a romantic setting, we really enjoyed it.

Last day of patio dining on November 7th. Awesome. Thx

Dependably very good food, even through Covid. We dine here at least once a month because we know the kitchen will always deliver high quality, well prepared food. ....wish the drinks were a bit stronger- they always seem to be a little weak. We like to have one good “sipper” when we dine out.

Great for casual dining or family gatherings. Nic burger is fabulous in the bar or in the dining room.

Great place with great food. Quiet and intimate. lol

Went for brunch recently and it is not as I remember. I suspect this is due to covid 19. The menu isn't the same. So, I was disappointed. Although the food we had was good and the service too. I will say the furnishings, flooring could use some updating.

The meal was fantastic and the service impeccable! Definitely my favorite restaurant in Downtown Minneapolis!

Always a favorite - Nicollet Island Inn hit it out of the park again. Had a very enjoyable, leisurely dinner to celebrate my birthday. The Bobby Burns post-dinner cocktail was spectacular and may be my new favorite.

Very nice........

One of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities. You can’t beat the ambiance, it’s on the Mississippi River, has a gorgeous dining area with crystal chandeliers, etc.

The food is always exquisite, our table had sea bass and scallops and both were fantastic. We’ve dined there many times before and always had a great meal. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to have a memorable dining experience.

Gorgeous, historic building. Consistently excellent food. Beautiful views from dining room. Attentive service.

The staff were wonderful! We celebrated a birthday and stayed the night in the hotel! The food was excellent, the staff attentive. Everything was very clean and they took their COVID procedures seriously!

We had Sunday brunch in covid times. We were there at opening 9a. Only one Wait staff-I totally get that. He worked very hard. So a bit of a wait, but we liked that. Coffee (me) & hot chocolate (Better half) were really good. I like good coffee and it was delicious. Eggs were small but yum. Bacon outstanding. Toast/jam good. The hash browns were perfection-buttery, light and crisp around the edges. By 10a the full staff was there. Highly recommend.

Great ambiance. Excellent service. Need an escape from the crazy world ?stop in to the NII. Have loved this place since 1985!

Nic’s burger and fries were phenomenal! Will be going back soon.

An amazing venue. The food was wonderful. You have to try the shrimp cocktail app! Very impressed of the staff through out the hotel, restaurant and bar. So close to home, but we felt like we were worlds away,

The outdoor patio is pleasant and the food is as good as that served indoors before the pandemic.

Very nice atmosphere, not enough vegetarian options.

Awesome food. Great patio and maybe the best hamburger you will eat.

We chose to go here for our first outdoor dining date night since the pandemic began, and we were impressed not only with the food (delicious!!!), the drinks and the ambiance, but the servers made us feel extremely safe while still being friendly and open. We are so thankful for a great meal here! Ps try the seasonal cheese plate - a real winner!

Sat on the patio, great Reuben sandwich and Bloody Mary.

Sat in bar, had the nick burger and it was awesome. The bartender, Brad is great. So friendly and fun to talk with.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent ambiance....Loved the whole experience! Phyllis

Great food! Beautiful patio location. The service was very well done and friendly even with a mask on! This is beautiful and positive place to celebrate any special occasion.

Great service during difficult pandemic times. Good table spacing outdoors. We had the latest reservation time and appreciated being allowed to linger outdoors until almost 10:30. That made for a great family birthday celebration.

We were married there years ago. Return annually for our anniversary. Always splendid service and fantastic food.

Great patio dining and never a bad meal, what more could you ask for?

Received a tequila and tortes invitation and had to try it.
Thought it was going to be bad tequila but it was very good, so,good I had to buy another..

We always attend when you offer a special meal.

Another lovely evening at along time favorite eatery. Creative dishes

We booked a Reservation for our 44th wedding anniversary. The ambiance was good & service outstanding. The sea bass entree was excellent. However, my wife ordered the filet cooked medium. Unfortunately, the steak was partially over done & partially medium rare. Very inconsistent cooking.

The food was really great and the service was superb.

We always enjoy dining at the Nicollet Island Inn! Wonderful food and service!

Celebrated my husband’s birthday. Enjoyed the beautiful setting along the water. Scallops were delicious a great blend of flavors. Shorts ribs and walleye are always exceptional. Miss sitting in their cozy bar for an after dinner drink but next year we will look forward to it.

We were disappointed in the food quality at this visit. It may be that the Inn has so few patrons that they don't keep up with the quality we've seen in the past. The filet mignon ordered was to be medium rare and it was medium to well. The restaurant did offer to redo the steak (my husband declined) and they comped our dessert as a result. That was nice. I would still recommend Nicollet Island Inn for its location, however to have quality that is just 'good' for their prices, I would caution people.

The food, drinks, service and ambience were all excellent!

Very good service from Christian. Enjoyed the brunch menu items especially the eggs Benedict. Nice patio setting. Will be back.

We went to the Nicollet Island Inn on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in August. The temperature and the day were spectacular. Our waitron was inexperienced and we had some delays, but we didn't mind. We were seated on the lovely patio. We split a wedge salad (not exactly a wedge, it was made with romaine lettuce), but the blue cheese dressing was excellent. I had a fillet mignon, with asparagus and potatoes, while my partner had sea bass. My meat was wonderful, but my partner said that the sea bass was "just ok." Drinks were very good. I had a special cabernet blend that was extremely good for $15!) All together a very pleasant weekend meal.

Great food, excellent service. Will certainly visit again.
