Roasted Beet Salad
Leah T.

My coworker and I went for restaurant week because they were wanting French cuisine. The beet salad was lacking flavor and I got no blood orange flavor. The salmon was delicious as were the carrots and mashed potatoes. The standout was dessert. The brûlée cheesecake was so tasty. Our server was amazing and my companion found her very cute.

Barbette Interior

The food definitely lived up to the hype! We had a group of 4 there for Saturday Brunch. It was too hot to sit on the patio, but the inside with AC was definitely welcome. Our service was great.

Stopped by during happy hour and had a lovely experience! We ordered the mussels, burger, croque madame, and a glass of house white wine -- the mussels were especially delicious, and the wine paired perfectly. The outdoor seating was beautiful and relaxing, and I loved that it was dog-friendly. We finished off with the carrot cake, which definitely lived up to the hype -- so good! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

I visited Barbette in Minneapolis which gives us a touch of Paris nestled in a beautiful section in Uptown Minneapolis. The staff was very friend and provided quick and quality service. I ordered the Croque Vegetariene. It was good in general, however not really what I expected as compared a regular croque; it was more like piece of toast with the a little bechemel and gruyere inside almost like a version of a caprese sandwich. The pomme frites, though, were incredible-- and tasty. I also tried a cappuccino, which was silky, strong, and strong to drink. It all combined to make a good meal, and I'd recommend Barbette as a good spot if you want French-inspired cuisine done that little bit differently. Parking actually was not bad as we visited around the later brunch hours on a Sunday. This place is a must go.

Classic Tartare (Beef)
Cassie R.

Let me start out by saying this place is SO CUTE! I love all the French inspired decor and it has such a cozy bistro feel. The was a bit of a mixed back. The appetizers were wonderful! We got the Classic Beef Tartare and Pan Seared Scallops. Both were 5/5 and I would order again. For entrees we got Lamb Chops, Steak Frites, and Butternut Squash & Mushroom Risotto. They were all just okay. The fries for the Steak Frites were the star - crispy and salty, but arrived just above room temperature. The steak itself I could have gotten from Applebee's and not know the difference. The Lamb Chops were flavorful, but very small portions. The Risotto was very bland. The staff was all very friendly, but service was a bit slow. We were there on a Thursday night and it wasn't busy, so it seemed odd that it took so long to get our entrées. We had wanted to order dessert, but we had an event to get to and were concerned about timing. Overall I was a bit underwhelmed by our experience. I would give the place a second chance, but maybe just for drinks and appetizers or dessert.

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for their happy hour and it was an okay experience. We ordered a dozen oysters and a bottle of bubbly for $42 which is a great deal. We definitely wish they would've told us the west cost oysters were huge and had a much different texture from most oysters. They were a bit hard to eat. We also ordered steak tartare and it was pretty good but nothing memorable. This is a cute restaurant but I don't think it's anything I'd come back for. The service wasn't up to par either. Our waitress was nice but we found ourselves looking around trying to get attention to order and grab our check.

Eggs Benedict Florentine
Amber D.

This was my first time back at Barbette in years, after moving away from Uptown. The food & staff were still amazing! We were sat immediately, which is always a plus. The restaurant itself is cozy with plenty of tables & lots of art on the walls. I have yet to sit at the round table immediately by the door, so that's still on the list! I got a vanilla latte, which was delicious. For food, I got the Wild Rice & Kale Bowl. It was a decent size & very filling; I loved the dukka, which I had never had before. I do wish the bowl were a bit more flavorful, maybe a seasoned sauce or some hot sauce would've helped. Either way though, it was overall delicious. I'll definitely be back to take advantage of their patio in the summer!

Dinner

Always one of our favorite haunts in the uptown area of the city, the cozy decor featuring local artists work and staff have created a fan favorite base and the food is classically French without airs.... Even as a vegetarian and GF I can find options... Not going to lie, a warm baguette is a must if you can indulge! They have a lovely assortment of wine and beverage as well with full bar - choose to sit here if you didn't make reservations if you can find an empty stool! Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, seating is comfortable and well spaced and outdoor seating is a great option in the warmer season! Bon appétit In the foreground is my GF vegetarian option with sweet potato, wild rice, avocado, and egg (can be made vegan as well as adding protein with greens... also cauliflower gratin, and of course steak / frites with mayo (aioli shown here) is the quintessential French option!

Grilled pork tenderloin and roasted mushroom risotto
Kelsey K.

We came here for the first time during restaurant week. It's a super cute little place right in uptown. There was plenty of metered street parking. For starters: the smoked duck breast was really good! Very tender and the sweet sauce drizzled around it made it better. The scallops were also a good choice for those seafood lovers. The gremolata was a nice added twist, giving the dish a fresh taste. For entrees we tried the mushroom risotto with braised lamb and the pork tenderloin with a blackberry bourbon jam. The risotto: I wish the rice had a little more flavor to it but with the mushrooms and lamb it was pretty tasty. The pork tenderloin was also a decent choice - the jam was a perfectly sweet and savory sauce that paired well with the pork. The pork was a little over cooked and dry. Service was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We liked the unique menu options here.

La American Plate and Breakfast Taco
Ciboney R.

Yum! I went here with a friend for her birthday brunch and it was amazing. I got the Le American and she got the Breakfast Tacos. I appreciated the traditional breakfast options available as well as some unique choices! We shared the Sticky Bun Cinnamon Roll and I have dreams about that dessert. It was SO good and came warm. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. Inside was so warm and inviting, it feels like your friendly neighborhood breakfast spot. Everyone there was super nice as well. I'll be adding this spot to my usual breakfast rotation!

Ham & Gruyere Omelet Plate
Nick W.

First time going to Barbette was yesterday, and we enjoyed our experience there. The ambience and vibe of the space is a unique and fun one. We came for lunch but both noted that it looked like a fun place for casual drinks. The service was good but nothing special. The food was very tasty and it felt like we were eating French food with some fun twists. My burger the royale with cheese was $17.50 and with a $2 upgrade on fries it came out to be $19.50. The ham and gruyere omelet was $16. We thought this was a bit more pricey than a typical sit down place, but definitely worth the value. We'll definitely be back for more

Chocolate Mousse
Nicole C.

Looking for a relaxed and quirky place to eat delicious food and receive amazing service and not break the bank? This place should be one of your next stops. We started with Champagne and Oysters. You can order East and/or West. Also- love that the champagne is served in a wine glass and not a traditional flute...meaning you get more! Woo hoo! Moved onto the main course and I had the root vegetables with poached eggs in an onion broth. All of it was amazing. The eggs were poached perfectly. The veggies were cooked perfectly and the onion broth was so flavorful! Served with a couple pieces of bread so you can sop up every last morsel of it! My mom had the buckwheat crepe with poached eggs and said it was equally as delicious as mine. Flavorful, hearty meal that didn't leave us stuffed. Finished off splitting the chocolate mousse- yum! Service was top notch from the moment we walked in the door. Can't wait to return and try other items on the menu.

Beef Classic Tartare
Jenae C.

We tried Barbette because they were part of the Citytins deal. The interior is romantic and small for a quieter night out. We didn't have a reservation on a Thursday night and it seemed like almost all of the dining room was saved for reservations, so keep that in mind. We tried the beef tartare and pommes frites which were both delicious! The aoili that came with the fries was great. We split the mushroom risotto, which unfortunately was really bad. It came out cold and completely bland with the only flavor being a smoky aftertaste. The server was nice and the restaurant is still worth trying for the atmosphere and appetizers (and a different entree than the risotto). It's a little off of the craziness of Hennepin Ave in uptown so street parking is easier to come by.

We hosted our cocktail style Wedding Reception here in June and felt it was woefully mismanaged…read morefrom start to finish. We booked all three rooms back in Fall of '23 and paid our deposit and were excited to get planning come May this year. We got to a month before the event and hadn't heard anything from the Event Coordinator regarding current menu, bar, timing, anything. Three weeks prior to the event we reached out and heard nothing for a week. Two weeks out we followed up and found out the Event Coordinator had changed from the one we booked with and the new one was out for an indeterminate period of time with a family emergency. We worked as best we could with the Event Captain but ended up with incorrect menus and pricing and were finally told the Event Coordinator would be back the Monday of our event week and it would be handled then. We got finalized menus and pricing 36 hours before our event. This was extremely stressful, however, we empathized with the Event Coordinator and were assured the event itself would be great. On the day, we arrived and the staff setting up was unsure how many chairs we wanted. They didn't know which equipment we had paid for to use that needed to be set up. They didn't know what the event was for. They were all very nice and let us know they had extremely limited information about our event which was very concerning for us. The Event Coordinator was present for about 5 mins to ask us about a backup wine if ours ran out and that was it (it did run out because there was only one bottle). There was no Event Captain, and the Coordinator was not on hand and (according to staff) unreachable during the event. We had agreed upon several things including a finite amount to pay for "open bar" and then switching to card after that point and we found out only AFTER we met our minimum that they were never told/weren't prepared to take cards. At that point, our options were no drinks (N/A or otherwise) for the last 3 hours or so of our event or we could just keep paying. So we ended up paying much more than was quoted/agreed upon due to lack of communication/oversight. We were told that guests could visit the attached Blue Stem bar, but it closed two hours before our event ended. We also had guests with dietary preferences/restrictions and had ordered vegan options and gluten free cake. We had asked if these could be explicitly labeled to avoid confusion and were told "yes" and on the day it did not happen so many of our guests were unaware there was anything they could eat at our reception. We were also told we could take our leftovers home and we only got cake when there was a lot of food left when they took it away. The sternos were out for some period of time and we couldn't find someone to help with that. The bar was left unattended. The bartenders were serving and refilling alcohol table to table (which we did not want or ask for), and did not pass appetizers as agreed upon. We reached out to the owner, twice, following our event to discuss our concerns to no avail. We LOVE French Meadow and are just heartbroken to have had this experience with them. Posting this (very lengthy) review in hopes no one else goes through this expensive disappointment.

We were married and hosted a reception for twenty two guests in the Nord Room/French Meadow Bakery…read more& Cafe. It was so fabulous and we cannot say enough positive things about our experience! All of French Meadow's staff were so lovely to work with. Briana and the entire catering group were so helpful from Day 1. As most wedding couples do, we had a lot of questions about logistics and planning. They answered every one of our questions in a timely manner and were thorough in coordinating all of the details of our special day. The day of our wedding, everyone there was immensely helpful and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. We truly owe them the world for making our wedding day so special! The room is perfect. We added floral centerpieces, but the room itself was setup exactly how we wanted, the chairs outside were moved once for our ceremony and then again for our first dance. The lighting both inside and out was more than we could have imagined. We were able to play our own music (a friend just had to manage the playlist), which was super easy! The FOOD, OH MY GOSH THE FOOD! So superb, we got so many compliments from our friends and family about how wonderful the food was. We got to choose 4 food options for our guests and only heard wonderful things about each entree. The cake was also super wonderful and delicious. We would recommend the Nord Room to anyone looking for an intimate wedding location. It was such an easy day (seriously, nothing went wrong!) and we couldn't have asked for a better staff or location. We had a beautiful day and we owe much of that to the wonderful folks at French Meadow!

New, shiny and very classy cool place to drink cocktails, have fun and dance…read more It opened a few weeks back and I really wanted to check this place out. Went out with many of my friends together and it may have become our favorite spot. 1. Decor Absolutely love the fact they have such high ceilings, thanks to the old library building, super high back leather chairs and overall classy sophisticated design makes this place really cool. 2. Drinks They serve a few signature cocktails and I liked all of them. They don't serve food here. 3. Dance You could technically dance anywhere. There's no dedicated dance floor. 4. Music They have DJs both inside and outside (patio) and good. 5. Patio It consists of 2 sections. Downstairs where you can hear each other better and large group setting tables or upstairs where you can sit or dance. 6. Hookah lounge Okay, I never did this so I didn't try it. But could see people who like hookah, enjoying it. It's also my first time seeing such thing as hookah lounge inside a bar/lounge. All in all, i think place is the new best dance, get together, lounge, cocktail place in Minneapolis. Highly recommend to check it out if you haven't been there yet.

From first glance, this club has lots of potential to be greater than what they intended. No doubt,…read morethe decoration, architecture, bar and seating areas are classy and elegant. It is probably the best in the Twin Cities. The DJ area was in the middle but kinda tucked away and hidden behind the super XXL sofas and chairs in this place, so you won't see them in the dark lights. I don't know if it's good or bad, but I like watching the DJ in action sometimes when I go out dancing. She was playing some good dance music. Before you head to Mansion, you have to come with an open mind and lots of forgiveness in your heart. Drink a lot or take a chill pill before you come because this place has lots of rules. The night we were here, there were more security guards and "hostess" sweeping the floor than regular customers. I call them hostess, but I don't really know what they do other than stand around looking gorgeous and smiling. They didn't greet us when we came in or take our drink orders throughout the night so I don't really know what they do. I heard there is dress code for the men so make sure you have collared shirt and long pants on. As for the ladies, you don't have to remind us to dress to kill for a night out. The is no cover charge so that's pretty awesome since we are sure to be drinking inside anyway. However, their policies for not allowing jackets laying around doesn't make for a fun time. I have never been to a club where they force you to either wear your darn jacket or pay for coat check service and only if you can find it due to poor signage. Firstly, I was told to remove my jacket from laying it on the arm rest of a couch that was supposedly reserved for an invisible party because no one showed up. Secondly, they tell me I can't put my jacket on the bar stool when we finally found some kind souls to share their limited bar seating area with us!! Really!!!!!!!!!?????? Mansion?????? My last encounter with Mansion's rules (whew this one tops the icing on the cake), I put down my empty champagne glass on a nearby table because we were having so much fun dancing that I didn't want to risk breaking a glass on the dance floor only to be told I have to put my glass at the bar! In short, he is telling me "bus your own empty glass, lady!" I asked him if he could take the glass away for me only to be refused because he is too good to do just that (provide good customer service) because he has a black suit on and an ear piece. I am a paying customer Mansion!!!??? Some advise for Mansion- let loose on your rules! There are not enough tables to put down our darn drinks so we can dance hands free! Instead, you have too many Reserved couches on the nights when your joint was half empty.

A group of friends and I went here for our friend's birthday, only to have two women end up…read moreseriously ill by the time we left. The two friends each only had one drink from the bar and were left retching, struggling to stay upright. They were completely knocked out by one drink, which was bizarre, concerning, and entirely out of character. Both woke up this morning with no hangover and a complete memory of everything that happened. One friend was discussing with a coworker whose daughter and friends had a similar experience a couple weeks ago. That woman also knows of another group of young women who have experienced this. This is not normal. There had to have been something dangerous and suspicious going on for multiple women to have the same terrifying experience. I do not recommend any woman visiting here and I will not be returning ever.

Disclaimer: THIS IS A REVIEW ABOUT THE RESTAURANT PORTION, NOT THE NIGHTCLUB PORTION. I hate to do…read morethis, but I need to get this out while it's fresh in my head. I finished eating here about 90 minutes ago and am quite disappointed. My friend and I were out hoping to get some burgers from Fremont on their $1.00 Burger Mondays, but they were closed due to a holiday party... so we saw this place and were familiar with the one downtown. We like the one downtown, so this one would be cool right? Wrong. I've also never eaten food from a Pourhouse either, only had drinks. I can see why. So we checked their menu and saw they offered a wing special on Mondays and were nearby so why not stop in, despite it having an average score of 2.5 stars on Yelp?! Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: This place looks SO NICE! Both the inside and out look so modern, well-decorated, clean, neat and like a place that would be fun to hangout in. They did a great job with that. This place is so huge and serves great as a nightclub on a busy weekend or college night. Restaurant seating is right in the middle of what seems to double as a huge dance floor that is right up against the bar. The ceiling stretches so high and you can see right up to the 2nd floor from all over. This place looks awesome and seems like it has MASSIVE potential for the night scene. Service: This is where things started to take a dive. Ezra was our lovely server, but that was kind of it. She looked nice, showed up, took our orders, smiled and that was really it. She didn't refill my water, didn't ask my friend if he wanted another drink, didn't check on us after our food showed up, NOTHING. Granted, she was the only one running the bar and the bar floor, but still... we needed things. No excuses as we are paying customers. She wasn't there. I had complaints, but I couldn't even tell her... because I don't think she cared. Moving on... Food: I'm a big guy with a huge palate and there isn't much food that I don't finish, but SURPRISE! Lol. I ordered 2 "buckets" of their wings. One good thing is that you can get 2 flavors per bucket. (It's actually not a bucket at all, but a nicely presented plate with celery, sauce and neatly organized wings, 10 of them to be precise. They were so overcooked. They weren't good. At all, but I was starving, so I ate. I tried their Peanut Sauce, Grand Mariner, P.H. Rub and Dry Ranch. They all were such a light flavor that I could hardly taste the difference between them, though the Grand Mariner was my favorite of the 4. I just wish, WISH the wings weren't cooked so freaking long! By the time I got to the last few I couldn't even eat them. They were so tough... like jerky, but hey... guess who wasn't around for me to let them know how I felt? You got it! Lol. Nah, it ain't that serious, I'm just being a jerk, but yeah... the wings weren't good. I don't ever plan on coming back here for the wings... though if they weren't cooked long enough I'm sure they'd be fine. Value: $5.00 for 10 wings. That's a freaking DEAL man! I was all over it! I'm just sad I didn't like what I experienced. Oh well, I shall lose no sleep over it, but I needed to get this out. Oh, let us not forget that this place charges 2.9% extra if you're using a card. Like, for real man? It's 2018! Lol. You don't find out about this until you get your bill and it says it WWAAYY at the bottom of the receipt. Lol. I mean, I guess. So you can either pay the 2.9% extra for using your card, use cash or get bent over by the ATM and its fees at the front door. You choose! In conclusion, I'll come here to party, possibly... not to eat. That's what this place is good for and it's made clear.
