I discovered this establishment while visiting the Lofton Hotel on the evening of a WNBA Lynx playoff game. I sat at the bar and the staff were incredible - I was just looking for a quick bite and the shiitake croquettes were perfect. Very crispy and filled with mushroomy potatoey goodness. They were toppped with a micro cilantro that was a nice contrast to the fried croquettes. There are lots of other tasty and interesting dishes on the menu. Definitely leaps and bounds above the average hotel bar/restaurant.

Egg white breakfast sandwhich with roasted potatoes  Really good, $11

Our waitress was very fast and super helpful. All food was really good. The OJ was expensive, and I was thinking it would be fresh squeezed to be $8. Other than that, wonderful experience. I had a negative experience with hotel from them not subtracting our breakfast comps for that meal but I won't put that towards this restaurant.

We celebrated my birthday here and it was fantastic! Great service, delicious food, and relaxing atmosphere.

Food was wonderful! Very quiet place, however the service was not great. There was usually 2-3 servers working and the restaurant was never busy. Last night we were the only ones in the entire restaurant and we were left waiting to order drinks for 15 minutes. Everytime we went to get breakfast we had to wait forever for someone to help us. They would help other tables and ignore us. Super weird. Room service was better and always came super fast, I would recommend that over going to the restaurant because they are not attentive.

Beef pho soup - Chef's tasting
Roz B.

The chef's tasting was one of the best food experiences we've ever had. Given we spent six years in San Francisco with amazing restaurants that says a lot. Between Will pairing the most perfect wines with every course, to sous chefs Jeremiah and Laura curating the most flavorful and unique dishes, everything about the night was so wonderful. The chef's tasting is done in the kitchen so you have access to the chef's as they cook. It starts with the chef's talking with you about your likes and dislikes with them. Then they design your menu based on your discussion. We will be doing this at least once a year. Highly recommend if you are looking for a fun and adventurous food experience.

Dinner at Cosmos is an experience. Unlike many hotel restaurants, Cosmos serves up ambiance, excellent food, and great service for an all-around wonderful dinner. They start dinner by providing a delicious amuse-bouche, bring out a tasty juice palate-cleanser "shot" in the middle, and end the evening with a lovely chocolate truffle. And that's on top of what you actually order. The wait staff are very knowledgable and friendly, which adds to the feel of an upscale dining experience. I love how clever the chef gets with the rotating menu options and have never had a dish I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Try the tasting menu, which changes frequently. You won't be disappointed. Cosmos is one of the best fine dining restaurants in the Twin Cities and should not be missed!

Chilean Sea Bass Ceviche, oh my!
Mo M.

Oh my goodness gracious, I never expected this fare upon my first trip to the fine city of Minneapolis. Nothing was spared, exquisite is damn appropriate verbiage, and it can easily compare and surpass any upper crustie hangout in Seattle. We shared a plethora of appetizers to start - ...well, actually I had a Bombay Sapphire with extra lime to start, heh. Ahi Tuna Tartare, Wagyu Beef & Maryland Crab Cakes. The Ahi was foodgasmic, rich and savory, yet the fish was sweet. I'm not fan of crab, but loved the seasoning of these crab cakes. And Wagyu beef prepped like this should be as illegal as street drugs. Dizzying. Then salad: I had the Chilean Sea Bass Ceviche. It tickled my palate, and wasn't as tart as some I have had, so I could still taste the fish in a pleasant way, crisp & delectable. I felt inclined to share - only a little however. We then moved on after a sorbet to cleanse away taste I actually did not want to go away... yes, we ate more.... Angus Tenderloin. Knives can be excused. Buttery Bovine perfection. My friend poked me, as I apparently closed my eyes to let it play a round of pro Canadian curling with my tastebuds. She assumed I was asleep sitting up, with beef in my mouth. Dummy. We then moved onto dessert, and tho I said no as to not pass out, I partook of friend's dishes. Helllooo APPLE. Sinful spoonful of heaven to finish the meal. Both wait staff we had were professional, fun, QUICK and knowledgeable. We requested the chef come out so we could fawn over him, and he complimented us back with a chocolate array. And the poster re: the restrooms is right. The last time I saw organic materials used in interior space so beautifully was at a resort in Bali. Nothing was left untouched for your five senses here. Luckily I had a marshmallow bed to land in 4 floors above me in the Graves601 as I should not have driven after the Cosmos experience.

Cosmos is located inside the Lowes Hotel(the old Graves Hotel). I liked that they have complimentary valet parking for eating at the restaurant. It's a very nice quiet place to dine. The waiters were really nice, but he could not remember what we all ordered and had to come back to ask us again. And while everyone's dinner was served they made a "mistake" on mine so it came out later then everyone's which meant I ate by myself while everyone had finished their meals. I'm sure they forgot my order!!!! Was not happy about that and I asked for medium and it looked more like medium rare! Regardless, I still are it but I didn't like the mushroom or carrots that they had with the dish. It wasn't good. Overall, the people there were nice, the place is very nice but food was not all that. I wasn't satisfied my first impression there.

One thing to know is that they don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait during busy times. That said, the experience was well worth it. Great service, amazing food, and a fun atmosphere make The Breakfast Club a spot I'll definitely be returning to!

First of all we found this place on Yelp and landed on it because of the high reviews and how close it was to our airbnb. I was a bit worried about a wait as it looked popular but with two people we were able to get in pretty quick (less than 5 min wait) on a Sunday morning. It was packed though, so there might be a wait. Space is at a premium in this building and despite being a bit crammed in it was still a great experience overall. Honestly everything was wonderful. The server: A+, ambiance: great, food: holy hell it was delicious. I had some sort of benedict that came on cornbread and was paired with some incredible hashbrowns. Chef's kiss. I also ordered a specialty mocha for fun and it also did not disappoint. This place is a slam dunk for breakfast. If you live in the twin cities and you haven't eaten here yet what are you doing!?

This time our family tried the 5th Avenue Minneapolis location right across from Twins Stadium. Quick tip, park in the garage facing the restaurant on the left side. It's an easy elevator ride up and the signage makes it simple. Matt was our server and did an outstanding job. Great service always makes a difference. Beverage options were excellent too, stuff for everyone, mimosas, specialty coffee drinks, and really solid drip coffee. The menu has a great balance of savory and sweet, so naturally we tried both. We had the breakfast sandwich with sausage, a BLT on a croissant, biscuits and gravy, pancakes with fruit, and a croissant-waffle fusion with lemon and sweet cream. Honestly, everything was delicious. What I appreciate most is the atmosphere. These restaurants just feel comfortable, welcoming, and easy to enjoy with family or friends. I'm excited they're coming to Maple Grove, but I'll still keep visiting the St. Paul, St. Louis Park, and Minneapolis locations too because I want to see our cities and local businesses thrive.

More cocktail options than menu options, soda in a can. Sheesh.

Unfortunately, our repeated experience has been that the male bartender is oddly hostile - he often comes across as either passive-aggressive or openly rude toward us, depending on the night. We are a fairly unremarkable middle-aged professional couple who stop in only occasionally, so we have no idea what might be behind it. We tip 20 percent. We don't stay long? When we've mentioned the interaction to other neighbors, several have said they've noticed a similar vibe as well. Every other member of the waitstaff and bar staff has been consistently warm, friendly, and welcoming. Lately, however, we've found ourselves wondering whether that bartender is working before deciding to stop in, because we'd rather avoid the extremely uncomfortable experience. It takes a lot for me to write a review when everything else is great, the food, the ambiance, most of the waitstaff, but this has happened so often I'm flummoxed.

I never find it too difficult parking in this neighborhood and managed to find street parking fairly easily.
