Amazing food, service AND ambiance... the trifecta!…read more A perfect venue for date night or a girls night out! The patio was so beautiful but we opted for indoor seating due to extremely hot temperatures. Service was top notch; our server was both helpful and friendly. Cocktails (5/5) The Almafi Spritz cocktail was refreshing and delicious. Its non-alcoholic sister, Arancia Spritz was equally yummy. Golden Beets Salad (5/5) I don't typically rave about salads, but this thing was so delicious. It paired so well with the creamy burrata and the citrus from the vinaigrette. Hamachi Crudo (5/5) it was fresh and delicately delicious. NY Strip Steak (5/5) the steak was only 4/5, but the crispy and garlicky fingerling potatoes stole the show! Seared Salmon (4/5) was one of the daily specials and was perfectly cooked with a crispy seared side and a tender and moist center. If you only have room for one dessert, get the Sweet Corn Pot de Creme (5/5). It reminded me of an elevated elote. The Chocolate Cake (3/5) seemed so sad because it got outshone by literally everything else we ate. But it was still a perfectly acceptable chocolate cake.

Their menu is veggie forward but still have meat options to appease everyone's preferences. I absolutely loved the menu and all of the vegetarian options. Even the meat eaters at our table enjoyed each dish! A lot of their items are shareable which is nice so we split some smaller dishes and then each of us also had a plate of our own which we found worked well. The halloumi was absolutely spectacular. The vinaigrette on it in combination in contrast with the hazelnuts was great. I definitely recommend as this was a big crowd pleaser. The salt and pepper mushrooms were also really tasty. The pepper comes through really strong. I really loved my kansui fettuccini. It was a bit spicy and such a unique flavor profile. The pasta was fresh and the dish was really filling. Finally, my Amalfi spritz was incredible! The best spritz I've ever had. Light, refreshing, tasty. Don't miss this incredible spot!

I love the pink and green, and the place settings are gorgeous. Bonus: the team is super fast with clearing and bringing replacements so you always have a clean plate. Add in huge windows that brings in tons of light, and you have one of the most photogenic eateries in town. Dario's beverage menu is wonderful, and I especially want to draw attention to their extensive selection of non-alcoholic options. In addition to house-made sodas and creative cocktails, they have a wonderful list of dealcoholized wines--awesome news for anyone who is looking for a zero proof drink. As for the food, Dario knocks it out of the park with a menu that offers options for all tastes. The menu is designed to share, and the variety ensures that there will be something for everyone. The first two dishes that ai sampled were the Gem Lettuces, which our server described as "a Caesar salad on steroids" and the Morel Mushrooms. The Gem Lettuces were delicious--the zippy vinaigrette was better than any Caesar I have had before, the cheese was a fluffy, savory, and salty delight, and the puffed farro was a pleasing alternative to the usual croutons. Bonus: it's fish-free! I'd say that it's less a Caesar salad on steroids and more what happens when the Caesar salad next door goes off to college and has a glow-up. The morels were served on polenta and complemented with Madeira and tarragon. They came with a confit egg yolk. The presentation was strikingly beautiful, and the flavors pure and harmonious. The morels were cooked perfectly and went beautifully with the wine and tarragon--it was a great dish for spring, and everyone enjoyed the layers of texture and flavor. For our pasta choices, we had the English Pea Triangoli that Lu recommended (thanks Lu!) and the doppio. It's easy to see why Dario is known for its pasta--these dishes were amazing. The English Pea Triangoli was otherworldly: sweet peas, snap peas, onions, mint, and pea sprouts come together with butter to make a nostalgic little bite of heaven. It tastes like spring. Sicilian pistachios add crunch and another layer of sweet and salt, and the lightly steamed vegetables and fresh pea shoots and mint also added layers of texture and freshness. Positively superlative. The Doppio was also gorgeous: one side is filled with ricotta and the other sunchoke. Honey adds sweetness and the hazelnuts toastiness reminiscent of browned butter. The rosemary complemented it all. For my dessert, I had the Earl Gray tea cake. It had a very pleasing crumb and subtle sweetness, and the lemon whipped cream was the perfect accompaniment. The sprinkle of toffee cookie added a lovely caramelized crunch, and the bright acidity of the rhubarb was preserved, making for a juicy and refreshing burst of flavor in every bite. Splendid! Thanks to Dario for a wonderful evening!

This is a Chinese-style marinated pork tenderloin, which is grilled and served over jasmine rice with broccolini and Asian ponzu slaw. It looked an tasted great. My wife had the large K&R Chopped Salad ($18), which had green onion, bacon, tomato, dried cherries, caramelized pecan pieces and was dressed with blue cheese vinaigrette. She loved it. She also had a glass of the Meritage wine, which had a wonderful oaky and mellow flavor. Perfect. Normally it's $10 a glass, but Happy Hour dropped the price to $7, which was a bargain.

I went with the burger, that did and up being very tasty. However, $18.50 is a lot for a basic cheeseburger that doesn't come with fries (they are $5 extra). The service was pretty slow and they forgot to put in part of our order, they did apologize for the mistake, but it still took 35+ to get some fries. Cute spot if you are in the mood for a burger and have time to wait.

Nightingale always provides a wonderful experience. My spouse and I stopped in on the Friday…read moreevening of Memorial Day weekend, thinking it wouldn't be crowded. Wrong. Nightingale was packed, but fortunately, once two patrons saw my face from the bar, they quickly paid their bill and left. My face often compels people to vacate crowded establishments in Minneapolis, and we often find seats. After grabbing the two seats, we ordered wine and a wonderful Amaro-based cocktail. Jules was our bartender/server, and although he was crazy busy, he found time to be gracious to us. We ordered the meatball appetizer, halibut, and the Nightingale hamburger. My halibut was sublime, cooked perfectly, and it wasn't drowned in sauce. Bravo! The meatballs were tender and delicious, but the hamburger was not memorable. It was good, not great. Despite all the accolades above, when the bill came, I was charged two dollars after requesting a cucumber slice for my Pimms Cup. Perhaps the source of this pettiness came from the kitchen, but it wasn't smart, because the $2.00 charge placed a shroud over my experience. The bill was $125, and because of the petty two-buck charge, I only left a $25 tip. I was going to leave a $30 tip. I will sadly remember those 2 bucks forever. It was a myopic move and a passive-aggressive way to handle my request. In my birthplace home of NYC, a bartender would have said, "Getting a cucumber slice is a pain in the rear, would you mind skipping it?" My response, "Sure, it's not a big deal."

Five stars. We're so grateful to have Aubergine in the neighborhood…read more We came for a special date night and it absolutely delivered. The patio on a Wednesday evening was picturesque, relaxed, and distinctly European-feeling -- which fits so naturally with this stretch of Selby. Between the historic buildings, brick lanes, walkability, and other thoughtful neighborhood spots nearby, Aubergine feels like it belongs here. The croquettes were excellent and an easy recommendation. The duck was cooked perfectly; its accompaniments had an unexpectedly bold and intense dressing, but clearly very intentional. The grilled walleye was more straightforward, but beautifully cooked, and we appreciated the MN Indigenous sourcing. Marissa was fantastic -- knowledgeable, attentive, engaging, and genuinely fun. She made the evening feel personal. Great wine selection, fun cocktails, and the whole experience felt worth the price, particularly knowing the restaurant builds an 18% living-wage/service charge into its model. Excited to come back, dine indoors, and see how the seasonally responsive menu evolves. Aubergine feels like a refined, thoughtful addition to Cathedral Hill and exactly the kind of neighborhood business we're excited to support.

Restaurant Aubergine isn't the fanciest restaurant ever, but it wasn't really the super chill space that we were looking for. :D We sat on the patio, it was a nice summer evening, and our waitress was very pleasant - so the night was off to a good start. We each had two cocktails, two appetizers to share, and we split a main entrée - Total came to about $200. I'm really glad we ended up splitting an entrée, because if we each had our own, it just would've been a waste of food. The drinks were strong, which is how I prefer them, so no complaints from me. Grilled Zucchini: This was fine. I loved the crispiness of the onion rings, and wish I could have a separate order of just those, but the batter left me wanting a little bit more seasoning and zest. I also wanted more crème fraîche, and decided I wanted less of the actual zucchini. This isn't something I would likely order again in the future. Sabodet Croquettes: These were good, and my husband claims they were the best croquettes he's ever had. The meat inside was a welcome surprise. I would order them again. Grilled Pork Chop: This is probably the best pork chop I've ever had in my whole entire life, and I don't say that lightly. It was so juicy and delicious, I couldn't get enough. I wanted to pour the sauce charcutière into my mouth, and the cabbage was absolutely divine. I cannot wait to have this pork chop again!
