About this restaurant

Innovative
Neighborhood gem
Healthy

Like Tangletown Gardens' farming philosophy, we make our food as it was made long ago - when everyone ate organic or sustainably, free range, locally grown food that wasn’t fussy or high-end. It was just good food from scratch, every day. We strive to bring our guests back to this old standard of cooking using the season’s best from our farm. Almost always, the offerings are produced in house.

We've eaten at Wise Acre several times, always a satisfying experience in every way. The noise level was quite manageable because we ate early....

I absolutely love this place! The menu is fabulous. Farm to table, from their very own farm in MN. We had a delicious appetizer of beet hummus with fresh, vibrant root vegetables. I loved the watermelon radish. Our dinners were delicious too. I would recommend this amazing, conscious & fabulous restaurant!

Love the fact that this restaurant is so connected to its farm. Eating locally and seasonally is important to me and Wise Acre Eatery shares this focus. Loved the squash dish that was the vegetable of the day.

I have been here for breakfast and return again for that. Dinner was disappointing- the pork chop had a lot of grizzle that was unbeatable. The pastrami was so fatty I couldn’t cut it to eat. The best hummus was bland. Our wait person, when asked what she recommended, chose the most expensive food in each category. The ice cream was very good. It’s a cute place and I like supporting local farmers and growers, but have already shared with others I would not return past breakfast.

Wise Acre was one of the original farm to table restaurants in the twin cities. The menu is different and delightful every time we visit. The converted 1950’s gas station amuses. The house-made frozen custard is a treat even in winter, especially with a shot of espresso. In the summer the outside seating is in an overgrown garden. Keeps us coming back for more.

Delicious food!! Loved the Valentine’s Day menu. Service was great for courses. Our initial wine order took over 20 minutes to come. But loved the wine too.

One of our party is allergic to onions. I called the restaurant ahead of time to make sure there would be food he could eat and they said there would be a note for the server to that effect. We confirmed with the server that there had to be no onion in or on his food. Nevertheless, she put onions on his plate as a garnish. Wine is too high priced. Food was very tasty.
