Amalfi Spritz
Jaime-Lee B.

While in Minneapolis for a conference, on a cold night, I was looking for something steps from my hotel that would be warm and yummy and Breva was it! At Hotel Ivy and on top of Masa & Agave, I was greeted warmly by the host who made me feel welcomed and seated promptly. I love a good roasted beef salad and theirs did not disappoint. From my fellow Yelpers, I knew the rigatoni bolognese would be amazing and it was. While not the most beautiful dish, it was the warm hug I needed! Amazing job to the front and back of the house teams.

I came here twice within a couple days because it was right down the street from my hotel. Really great food, each time. I had the burrata the first time but didn't get a photo. I ate in the portion of the restaurant that is at the entrance of the lobby. Service can be a little slow because the bartender is doing that as well as taking orders. It's a very relaxing setting, very comfortable seating. Would definitely return.

The food here is amazing. I stayed at Ivy Hotel so I went down to the restaurant because of its convenient. The place is beautiful and cozy vibe, would be amazing for date night. Service is top notch, very friendly, polite servers and not constantly checking in on you but gives you your space to have a conversation with your company. I, myself prefer that. I ordered the shrimp linguini and chocolate gelato. The linguini is so fresh with some lemon and garlic and the quality of the shrimp is amazing, not some frozen shrimp you eat at some restaurant. The highlight of it all is the chocolate gelato. I've never eaten a gelato before that is amazing like that. Definitely have to try the gelato. Will go back here again.

Nicely done- full bar. Brandy Old Fashioned is the way to go.

Pea risotto is killer, and so is the Caesar salad! Parking is super easy to find on the street, or two parking ramps adjacent to the building...or just toss your car's keys at the parking valet...and enjoy the convenience of walking in like you own the

*Breakfast Review Only* We did a staycation at Hotel Ivy and needed a quick breakfast before an event. Unfortunately, the service was quite slow, and the food came out just barely warm. The coffee was also harsh and bitter. I felt bad for the one and only server working. She seemed like she was making the best of a bad situation and was very friendly. It's possible this was just an off day - we all have them. I'd be willing to give them a try for dinner.

(This review is from April but it's taken me a while to actually submit it) Our party of 6 dropped by on a Saturday night and they were luckily able to accommodate us for dinner. The service was great - our server was attentive and kind -- and when we asked her about her preferences she was direct and to-the-point. For our appetizer, we opted for the tuna crudo. It was a nice balance of flavors. Not too salty or citrusy, and not too fishy either. The avocado, burned bits, and fish paired well together. For my main, I had the guajillo short ribs on a bed of polenta (I don't think this is on the menu anymore though). This is a RICH and filling dish. The short ribs were well braised, and the sauce was thick. The first few bites were super flavorful and enticing, but after a while it was a bit much for me. I didn't end up eating it all -- but a few of my coworkers finished theirs. I am a big believer in always getting dessert if you're not quite full - and boy was I glad I did. The affogato was delicious (though admittedly a bit too melted for my taste). Seemed like a skimpy scoop of ice cream, but I was okay with that! This restaurant is tucked away, and sort of dim lit but I really enjoyed it. If you're in Minneapolis and not sure where to go, I'd encourage you to give it a try!

The Sundae
Julia S.

It's a beautiful spring evening, perfect for an excellent meal in a beautiful setting. Breva fit the bill perfectly. Located in the Hotel Ivy, this restaurant is bright and inviting. With neutral colors and a lot of natural materials, the space is calm and contemporary. Think casual elegance. Big windows and mirrors let in lots of light, and the gorgeous bar makes for a lovely focal point. It's a really pretty space. It would be fabulous for a pre-show meal, date night, or special family dinner. My dining companions raves about the smoked walleye dip, and I thoroughly enjoyed my tomato basil bisque. It had a pleasing acidity and silky-smooth texture that was set off by Parmesan crisps and butter croutons. It was also topped with fresh herbs including--bliss--fresh dill. What a lovely treat! For the mains, my companions chose the short ribs and brick chicken, both of which they loved. They also shared the Brussels sprouts, which also earned rave reviews. As for me, I ordered the roasted cauliflower. It was absolutely gorgeous thanks to the multicolored cauliflower and the beautifully golden romesco sauce. Crispy and chewy oyster mushrooms added umami. Crushed red pepper flakes provided a pleasing heat that built slowly. More fresh herbs (including the joy that is dill)? Yes please, and thank you kindly. This main was truly a delight for all of the senses. For a side, I had the sautéed greens, which were Swiss chard. They were seasoned with garlic, chili, and lemon and cooked to perfection. For dessert, my companions had the cobbler--rhubarb and strawberry. It came topped with a generous scoop of ice cream. I enjoyed the ice cream sundae. Giant scoops of gelato came nestled among artfully arranged chantilly and brownies, all topped with hazelnuts and amareno cherries. It was so good. I did my best, but I only managed to get through about three quarters of it. I would also be remiss to not point out the fun drink options. In addition to a respectable wine and cocktails menu, they have some great zero proof options. I had their non-alcoholic margarita, which was perfect for the warm weather--tart and refreshing. I then had their NA mule, which I liked even more. A little bit spicy in addition to the tart and sweet, it was just what I wanted. Delicious! Add in excellent service from Connor, and you have a great experience overall. We found that we could easily carry on a conversation, but we did come in right as the restaurant opened. It might get noisy later on.

Truffle French Fries
Erin V.

I've now been lucky enough to eat here a couple times and it's in the top 5 places that will be on my repeat! Along side the Hotel Ivy and with an added twist of Masa&Agave below here is the witty Breva with a fantastic dinning room full of light and just great vibe! My kick off and what i want to have almost everyday is the Ahi Tuna Crudo. I know I could never recreate it Ahi Tuna, Citrus, Radishes, Rhubarb, Avocado and with Maple Tamari... This time i was hankering for a burger and fries... i got that and sssooo much more! The seasoning on the truffle fries can i have that on everything??? They are the it of truffle fries for me and mini me cause well shes a snob for truffle fries plus she killed hers and mine! The Breva Burger- cooked perfectly with the pairing of bacon-onion jam and ellsworth aged cheddar. Made my hubs jealous that i got to have it for Mom Daughter Date Night! Mini did the Skirt Steak & Frites with chimichuri and she chose truffle fries...she was the winner of the clean plate club which is huge cause girl has chicken tender tastebuds! We brought home our cheesecake (frcxen sooo good) hands down the best - ever had a blueberry compote and pistachios cheesecake... ya me either.. a combo you wanna try! I wont get into all the other things cause id hate to ruin the surprise but this a spot to try over and over again!

Lukewarm and not great

Review for breakfast only!! Stayed at hotel Ivy and they have breakfast not in the actual restaurant but in the bar section of the hotel- very expensive for lukewarm food and very slow service - I felt sorry for the poor lone server Coffee was bitter and not great- would have preferred going out to eat at a different place for breakfast but was in a rush to get somewhere else I'd be interested in trying their dinner and new wine menu as that looks pretty decent

I visited Breva during restaurant week & they did not disappoint. We arrived before our scheduled reservation so they seated us at the bar to grab a beverage during happy hour. We ordered the Tamarindo Margarita & it was very good. The restaurant is setup beautifully & is a perfect spot for date night or to meet up with friends. If you are going to order an appetizer you MUST get the smoke walleye dip. It's DELICIOUS! I got the Guajillo Braised Short Rib with creamy polenta and pickled radish & would order it again! 10/10 service & food! There is plenty of paid parking near the restaurant but it's pretty spendy. I'd recommend driving around to try and find paid street parking before paying $16 plus paid ramp parking.

Amalfi Spritz
Molly B.

Had a great date night at Breva! The food was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. The burger is one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, great beef blend and accompaniments. It was cooked perfectly to my expectations. Husband had the short rib and it was super tender with a great smoky sauce. Also enjoyed the burrata as a starter - it had roasted pepitas on top instead of being served with bread, and it was a delicious change. The pepitas had a nice nutty flavor that paired well with the burrata and blackberries. Split some gelato to finish off the meal and dear lord it was some of the best chocolate gelato I've ever tasted. The restaurant itself has a cozy cafe/bistro vibe and a nice bar area. Perfect place to grab a drink before catching a show at the Minnesota Orchestra. My husband enjoyed the wild rice negroni (nice nod to Minnesota) and the woodsman, which came smoked at the table. I loved my Amalfi Spritz - it was light, citrusy, and effervescent. Good service, everyone was friendly and attentive. Water was refilled at a good pace throughout the meal and our server made some wonderful recommendations. Per her excellent advice, do not miss out on the truffle aioli with the truffle fries. It was to die for!! You can see the bits of black truffle throughout the aioli and it had such a great flavor. There's a few options for parking - if you spend $75 or more at Breva they will provide complimentary valet parking. There's a parking ramp across the street and limited street parking on the block Hotel Ivy is on. Protip: there is more street parking along 12th st between Marquette & 2nd Ave S and the meters are free after 6pm - only half block away from the restaurant.

I recently came here to have dinner before seeing a show, and everything was just perfect. I'd been here before for an event, so I already knew that the food here was exceptional. On a Monday night with nothing happening at the nearby venues (my show was over on Hennepin but I didn't mind a little stroll), it was fairly quiet with very prompt and friendly service. This is located inside Hotel Ivy and it matches the modern classy vibe that the whole building is going for. But the main thing I like here is the food. This time I got Rigatoni Bolognese, and there was definitely a flavor twist on it that made it very unique and tasty. I also got a starter portion of roasted red pepper hummus with sourdough toast, and I would eat that every day of my life if I could. Creamy and flavorful, I highly recommend. For dessert I had their outstanding cheesecake, with pistachio nuts and a blueberry compote, absolutely delicious. I can also strongly recommend the Ahi Tuna Crudo, which is one of the most diabolically inventive combinations of flavors I've been fortunate enough to taste. I had it like a year ago and I think about it all the time. Also the smoked walleye dip is amazing, and just every single thing I've had is very thoughtfully crafted. In particular you should consider bringing an out-of-town visitor here because there are some deliberately Minnesotan touches throughout the menu. Come here before a show at Orchestra Hall! Or when you're doing things at the Minneapolis Convention Center! Or, indeed, do what I did and park on the street nearby (free after 6pm) and then walk a few blocks to the State or Orpheum. I feel very very good about my choice to dine at Breva on this occasion.

Went to Minneapolis to see a Vikings vs Bengals game and of course we had to check out the cuisine Minneapolis had to offer. We came in super late but Breva was open and still serving some food! The place looks nice and clean and I really enjoyed the ambiance. It has a nice boujee feeling so I would recommend dressing up just a little bit but nothing crazy. The food was pretty good but I wouldn't say it was outstanding! I will say though that the walleye dip was one of the best ones that did kind of make my eyebrows raise. The food hit the spot and it was pretty satisfying. Rey was our waitress and she was such a delight to have and she was patient and kind to us. We had a great experience!

Service is friendly and quick, they work as a team so requests get taken care of quickly. Now for the food, for brunch you get a complimentary bowl of mini donuts. We started with the cheese curds to share and they were so good. Delicate batter, with a side of a sweet jam/ketchup and ranch. These were eaten up fast. We also shared the buffalo cauliflower which was nicely battered, firm cauliflower, and a good amount of buffalo sauce. I ordered the chicken wraps. These were nice and refreshing. Comes with 3 skewers of chicken, a peanut dressing, fresh Bibb lettuce, basil, mint, cucumber, and sliced radish. My husband had the huevos rancheros which he liked as well.

I used to come here frequently as they had the best turkey burger in the city. They've since adjusted their menu to the point where everything tastes like it's been drenched in salt. Expect to be paying upwards of 20 dollars for a mid-at-best burger and even more if you dare to get cheese curds or sweet potato fries. Very sad change for a place I once went to weekly. The service is overall great, never had a bad experience interacting with staff. The redesign also looks very nice with a shaded seating area outside. I just wish the food quality matched the rest of the experience.
