    Loved the Not-A-Colata.
    Erin W.

    Wow! We went a little out of the way to come here but it was totally worth it. We both got the breakfast Nordic waffles that came stuffed with egg, cheddar, and turkey bacon. The food is homemade so it takes a little longer but worth the wait. They were so delicious; like I'm probably going to dream about them. I also had a latte that was infused with their homemade lavender flavoring, which was fabulous. My bf had the Not-A-Colada, which I wanted to steal from him because it was so fresh and tasty. Also, I can't say enough about the friendly service. Such a neat spot, too, because the place is huge with several cozy nooks. Prices were great. Loved everything about it. Can't rave enough. Side note: it did look kind of dark as we drove by, so we were afraid it wasn't open...don't let that fool you!

    Such a thing of beauty!

    The Nordic Waffles are amazing! I've tried both the Nutella & 7 layer bar - can you say taste of paradise!?! Love this locally owned place that has a kid's play area, comfy couches & friendly staff.

    Umm coolest place ever!? Tons of awesome drinks, nummy baked goodies, salads, food, little homemade items for sale,... oh and a kids play area with a castle, slide, and other play things! Board games for the big kids (and adults) too! Super nice welcoming staff too!!!

    Pastry selection (late morning, the first Saturday they were open)

    I've been seeing neighbors comment on this new coffee shop in the Nextdoor app since it opened a few days ago, and all of the reviews were very positive, so I had to check it out! I got a cold brew for my husband and a ginger chai for myself (both iced). The prices were very reasonable, and we're both very happy with our drinks! I didn't stay, but there were numerous tables and chairs near the ordering area and then a separate area with couches and chairs beyond the bathrooms. The space was very clean and bright! I didn't take a picture of the beverage menu, but it seemed like standard coffeehouse fare (with a few specialties, like the ginger chai). Based on the tea selection, I think they get it from Tea Source, which is a favorite of mine! I did take pictures of the pastries and food menu, which I will post shortly... I'm excited to try some of the sandwiches :-)

    Coffee and conversation!

    We've become regulars at Crooners. It's a fantastic venue that combines the ambiance, good food,…read moreand warm service of a Wisconsin supper club with world-class music. I'll still take in the sounds at Dakota Jazz on Nicollet Mall and BERLIN in the North Loop, but when I consider pricing, the kitchen, and the intimate space, Crooners is number 1. I love them all, and Minneapolis is fortunate to have one of the best music scenes in the country. Crooners makes its patrons feel like family. Mary T, the philanthropic owner and an ambassador for Minnesota empathy and 10,000 Lake ethics, is there almost every night, checking that everything is going smoothly. The artists all seem to love the place, and their performances are organic, a throwback to when audiences felt part of the show. I love Crooners and will return as often as I can.

    Here for the first time last night. We saw an MJ tribute outside in the Belvedere tent. The weather…read morewas absolutely gorgeous which made being outside in the patio tent even better. Food was wonderful. Our waiter was new and overwhelmed a bit but he did well. Music was outstanding. We had such a great time, I will definitely be back. Just a few logistical things that I didn't understand before I went. They have three different musical stages so pay attention to which venue you are booking if you care about being outside or inside. Our show started at 6pm, we arrived at 5:30pm and didn't get our food until after the show started. I'm not sure what time they start seating. You order off a full menu, it's not like a dinner/show package where you only have a few options. Lastly, there was a long line inside to be seated around 5:45pm. Seemed like they kept people waiting inline instead of seating them when they arrived.

    My wife and I had never been to--or even heard of--Baldamar, so when our friends invited us to…read moreRestaurant Week there, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. From the hostess who graciously held the doors open for us in the 95° heat to our incredible server, David, everything was outstanding. We started with cocktails. I had what may have been the best bourbon Old Fashioned I've ever tasted, and my wife enjoyed a wonderfully refreshing cocktail (whose name I, unfortunately, can't remember). We began our meal with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Normally, I'm not much of a Brussels sprouts fan, but I happily cleaned the plate. My wife and I shared the 12-ounce filet mignon, cooked medium rare, and it was absolute perfection. Chef's kiss. David recommended a bottle of wine to pair with our steak. It wasn't inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. But wait... there's more. As incredible as that wine was with the filet, it somehow paired even better (yes, I know that sounds impossible) with the slice of heaven they call chocolate cake. I'm sure it has a much fancier name on the menu, but "slice of heaven" seems more accurate. If you've read my other reviews, you know I have a tendency toward hyperbole. If there were ever a time to lean into it, this is it. THIS MEAL WAS FANTASTIC. THE AMBIANCE WAS PERFECT. THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AND THE COMPANY WAS DIVINE. We will absolutely be back--and when we do, we'll be asking for a table in David's section. (He works Tuesday through Friday.)

I started with the tequila and mezcal Old Fashioned, and it was fantastic. It was well-balanced, beautifully presented, and garnished perfectly. The food was equally impressive. The wings were delicious--crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My only small note would be that the celery was a little limp. The Caesar salad has officially been added to my regular rotation. The jammy egg was cooked perfectly with a rich, yolky center that was still easy to slice. The Parmesan crisps were thoughtfully sized, adding great texture without being so large they scraped the roof of your mouth. The salad was evenly dressed, making every bite flavorful. Overall, excellent food, outstanding cocktails, and warm, attentive service. I'll definitely be back.
