    Smoked ham and cheese omelette
    Dave J.

    More than I expected. Expectations exceeded. I travel a lot and I know the restaurants in a hotel run pricier than standalones, but not here. Two great breakfasts, generously portioned, for less than $50, with coffee! Friendly service.

    Our company took over the whole restaurant ahead of time so they were prepared for us. I do believe it's harder to serve everybody all at once. That being said I was underwhelmed. Steak skewer in the crabcake appetizer were both cold. My filet mignon came literally by itself on a plate with no sauce. Like much flavor. The mac & cheese and mushrooms were OK. It took a long time for dinner to get served. That being said hats off to the staff who worked their tails off. It wasn't a bad dinner. It just simply wasn't the best steak dinner I've ever had.

    Excellent working lunch. Nice setting inside the Hilton, service was on point with timeliness and attentiveness.

    Top: hush puppies. Bottom: jalapeño cheddar sausage.

    Excellent dinner at Bloomington Chophouse, located in the Hilton hotel. Went in for Restaurant Week and added a couple extra starters. Service was exceptional -- two waiters regularly checked in on us, ensuring our meal was pleasant and had everything we needed. Had a great conversation with both about food and drink recommendations. Here's the meal breakdown (Restaurant Week + more): - NA Red Wine Blend -- flavorful like a rosé. First time trying a non-alcoholic red wine and definitely would recommend. - Buffalo chicken soup -- good flavor, very creamy and rich. - Crab cake -- delicious! Loved it the most with the harissa vinaigrette and a squeeze of lemon. Really enjoyed that it didn't rely on breading to keep it formed which allowed the crab flavor to shine. - Hush puppies & Sausage -- both excellent! Best hush puppies I've had in a restaurant in the twin cities! Great flavor (slightly spicy) and had a nice crunchy coating. The sausage was delicious, juicy, and flavorful. In my opinion, both were excellent on their own and the sauce was not needed. - Brisket -- nice fat cap on top. Pulled apart easily with my fork. Paired nicely with the pickles and mustard. - Ribs -- Delicious spice rub (sweet and smoky) and very tender meat! Stellar! - Baked beans -- If chili and traditional baked beans had a baby, this would be it! Sweet, savory, and smoky with 3 types of beans and bacon. Wowzer! Knocked it out of the park! - Strawberry Shortcake -- where to start? The biscuit was baked to perfection and loved the sugar granules on the top half. The strawberry rhubarb sauce was perfectly balanced -- not too sweet and not too tart. The whipped cream tasted homemade. Fabulous dessert! Overall great dinner! Will definitely come back and recommend to friends!

    Refined venue that blends Classic and Modern Steakhouse vibes (fresh flowers at the table, comfy booths and tables). They have great Happy Hour and other unique specials. We enjoyed the Ribeye (ordered Medium by my dinner guest), Steak and Shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, Oysters, and the best calamari I've had in quite some time. Tasty drink cocktails as well. Chocolate dipped macaroons to finish it off. Jay our server, gave us the VIP treatment. They also have Private Rooms available for special occasions. If you haven't tried this place, I highly suggest you do. The current staff if awesome, and obviously so is the food. I'll be back soon! Uploading the pics has me drooling.

    2008 Menu

    Warning about their 17th anniversary celebration If you received an email from The Bloomington Chophouse in early January 2025 regarding their 17th anniversary event running through February, you should know that they reneged on their pledge to reduce prices to opening day. They now claim that offering a 17% discount is providing greater value than reverting to opening day prices. What a joke. Here are just two examples and there are many others like it. Back in 2008, the prime rib cost $28. Today, it's $45. To get from $45 to $28, you'd have to discount it 38%. The wedge salad was $7 and now costs $13 which requires a discount of 46% to get down to $7. On average, to get back to 2008 prices, the average discount would have to be 38%, yet somehow, their management thinks that a 17% discount is a "greater value". They played the bait and switch game to get me into their restaurant and then changed the game. Not fair! Maybe the way their management treats their customers is why they use Tock instead of OpenTable. You can't leave reviews on Tock but you can on OpenTable. 2008 menu attached.

    This is a solid 4.5 stars...from service to food, we had a wonderful experience. First off, the presentation of every single item was top notch. The crab cakes and creamed spinach were especially delicious. My hubs really enjoyed his Denver wagyu. I had the flatiron, which was not as good but still quality meat. I got the blue cheese crust, but I think the server just accidentally forgot. No biggie...there was a nice butter in the outside. Wrapped up the evening with a new nonalcoholic coffee concoction (on the menu) that was tremendous. They have a nice Saturday date night menu for two with a bottle of wine, app, 2 entrees, and dessert for $100. Purple rain cocktail & classic manhattan Crab cakes Flatiron & Denver and wagyu Creamed spinach After dinner coffees

    I have a local Chophouse on the East Coast, yet have never gone. This one was connected to our hotel and we were SO hungry - didn't want to look elsewhere. GREAT food! Wow have I been missing out! The Chophouse salad was soooooo yummy. Our (very nice) waiter, Kenny, said it was big enough for two people, so we shared it, but wished we hadn't. It wasn't that big (do they eat less here?) and it was so stinking good that we each wanted to enjoy more of it! We both got the crab cakes from the app menu for our meals. AWESOME choice. DELISH! One drink each and a toast to our Pilgrimage to Paisley Park and Minneapolis :)

    Shrimp Cocktail
    Deb O.

    We truly enjoyed our complete dining experience here! Michelle was friendly and attentive. We are working on a low carb food program so this was the perfect choice for that. Michelle noted that and did not bring us bread. We started out with the shrimp cocktail appetizer, which had nice size shrimp. For our meal, we shared the NY Strip MedRare+, which was seasoned and prepared to perfection. So juicy and flavorful. Our sides consisted of the mushrooms and asparagus. The mushrooms are truly the bomb when it comes to sides. Their side offerings are heavy on the potato sides, always wish for more veggie choices. One other wish is to get sides as a single order instead of only family style. I can only eat partial of the large order and my hubby does not eat mushrooms, therefore we always end up leaving so much food on the table because we are always flying out the next morning. Even if we are not staying in the hotel, the Chophouse is worthy of a special stop! The food here is at a different level!

    George & The Dragon is a super cool restaurant that my hubby and I tried for a double date night…read morewith our friends. We came on a Monday night at 6:15pm. This place does get busy so definitely keep that in mind. Luckily I made reservations ahead of time so we had a table waiting for us, otherwise we would have been put on a waiting list since it's a small space. They put us in a corner booth which was nice and spacious enough for 4 people so I'd definitely recommend asking for a booth verse a table if you're planning to come with a larger group. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. I appreciated their attentiveness and sharing what they like best, especially for what's in season based on the time of year. The menu has quite a bit of variety too which is sometimes unexpected when you come to a pub-style location. For appetizers we got Onion Ring and Fried Pickles. They were both really good and served with dipping sauces. Definitely both shareable items so if you're in a group they'd be great options! My entree I chose the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon served with lemon soy marinade, creamy cucumbers, and jasmine rice -- it was SO good!! I loved the creaminess of the cucumbers especially with the rice and than the lemon soy marinade was just a unique touch to the salmon. Toned the flavors down without overpowering acidity. And the salmon was so dreamy, a beautiful pink color that you just knew it wasn't a farm raised salmon. Plus the portion was very generous!! I'd definitely recommend the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon to anyone interested in visiting here. #eatwildsavewild The only negatives (which are more so just knowledge bombs for you): * Restaurant is VERY loud. It's hard to hear because it is one small room that everyone plus the bar is in. I wished I would have took a picture to show what I mean. Just know that if it's an intimate setting you're looking for this is not the place. So be prepared to talk loudly over the loudness and ask "excuse me?" or "repeat that" many times throughout your visit because you're not going to hear everything. * Timed eating. Because this place is a hit with limited seating, once you get a table and complete your meal/payment you'll kindly be asked to leave so that they can clean up and open the table to next in line. Totally get that and am not put off by this at all, but I could see how it could catch some folks off guard especially if you are out for a meal with folks you may not see frequently-- so just keep that in mind. This is not the place to sit and talk post meal. * Parking is limited. Be prepared to walk a few blocks as the road parking in front of the business is pretty limited especially with the other stores and restaurants in the area. Regardless of those few bullets I highly recommend folks visit George & The Dragon. It's a really cool spot and the food was great! Plus theirs a malt shop right next door that looks yummy too, so definitely worth visiting and getting malts after for dessert.

I was stuffed so early on trying all the meats. They do a great job cooking and seasoning.

The restaurant is clean and spacious, and the servers are all so nice and attentive. It can be a little slow at times during busy hours (like during restaurant week) to get the meat, but the salad bar exists for a reason and is filled with all the classics you would expect from a Brazilian steakhouse. Bullvino also differentiates itself from the rest by having a few unique selections at the salad bar, such as the hmong sauce and sushi rolls. The sushi rolls aren't amazing but they hit the spot if you have that craving. The cheese bread and caramelized bananas are perfect inbetween bites; the polenta fries and mashed potatoes are just okay and serve too much as filler food in my opinion. When I come with a larger group for an occasion, the servers will also bring out a complimentary steak on a salt block, which was very tasty and a showpiece! The meats are all great, but some of my favorites include the picanha, bacon wrapped beef, spicy picanha, and garlic beef. The best thing in the whole restaurant is the glazed pineapple, and it's the perfect way to end the meal, and also helps with digestion!

On both occasions the food was outstanding. We were treated by a combination of fresh ingredients, a chefs eye towards delicious flavor profiles, great execution, and fair prices. Certainly keen to come back. I'd recommend the ceviche for an appetizer and if you're feeling spicy ask for the house hot sauce. It's a roasted habanero and it's awesome.

Lastly, every desert we've had has been tasty as well.

    Cahill Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities, and for good reason! The food,…read morethe service, and the ambience are five stars across the board. Owned and operated by three brothers, this family-owned restaurant serves incredible Ecuadorian and Mexican-inspired dishes. If you visit, you'll most likely be greeted and served by one of the owners, who treat you like family--wholesome and genuinely high-quality hospitality without doing too much. The service provided and the love poured into the food are comparable to none. I've frequented this restaurant several times, throughout several years, and I've never had a bad experience or a bad meal. Some of my favorite dishes here include: - Empanadas de Carne or Vegetariana: Beef or vegetable empanadas. These empanadas are pan-fried corn dough, stuffed with your choice of tender, juicy, perfectly cooked braised beef or fresh vegetables. The empanadas are served on a bed of roasted tomato salsa and crema casera. The crispiness and warmth of the empanadas, combined with the tanginess of the sauces, make this dish my absolute favorite. If you're undecided in the appetizer section, this would be the one thing I would absolutely make sure you order. - The guacamole is made with fresh avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, roasted tomato, salsa, and served with crispy corn chips. It is one of their top-selling items as it is made fresh to order, and absolutely delicious as such. - The shrimp ceviche is another favorite! Made with a blend of tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and citrus juice, this ceviche is both juicy and packed with tons of flavor. It's the perfect light and refreshing appetizer. - The Tostones and fried yucca, each crispy and crunchy, are also excellent options for sharing or nibbling solo before your main dish. - The Carne Asada is one of my go-to lunches when I visit. Overnight, marinated steak is grilled to perfection and served with achiote (yellow, seasoned) rice, black bean purée, French fries, and a small house salad. It's good comfort food cooked with love and an incredible amount of - The Lomo saltado dish is sautéed beef tips that are very tender, rich, and flavorful. The combination with the red onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes is sensational. Paired with an achiote (yellow, seasoned) rice that waters your mouth, as well as a side house salad served with a tangy lime vinaigrette that will blow you away. - The Mexican Tres leches is my absolute favorite version! I've tried several, not all, across the Twin Cities, and this is always easily my favorite. A homemade cake soaked with a blend of three milks, whipped cream, caramel chocolate, and topped with crispy coconut flakes. This dessert is decadent as it is delicious. In addition to these dishes, Cahill Bistro offers happy hour Sunday-Thursday from 3:00-5:30pm with specials on appetizers and drinks. They also have daily soup specials and brunch on Saturdays. Cahill Bistro has consistently won multiple awards for best Latin American food in the Twin Cities, and for me, there is no debate about that. Cahill Bistro is my #1!
