    My drink
    Tippy P.

    We finally made it to this restaurant that's been on our list. Located off highway 55 in a large commercial area with lots of parking. The main door is red, I thought that was supposed to mean something. And yes...the red roses and decorations throughout the restaurant. There's a circle bar when you walk in, dining in bar or otherside. I even saw additional room behind the bookcase. We thought it was a speakeasy, but no..just a party rom for private events. Food was great, they offer a variety. Service was great as well, server was very attentive and talked with us. Reservations recommended for the weekend.

    I just want to add that I would not recommend coming here with kids (unless your kids have adult pallets). They were able to make a butter noodle but charges $11, which is over priced for butter noodle with goopy butter. The Caesar salad was good and fresh. The fries are not for me, double fried so they are very greasy and hard and flavorless. The onion rings have a nice batter but slightly hard to eat because the onion was sliced so thick that the batter was falling off. Still like the place, and I keep trying new things; hopefully they will have an appealing seasonal menu next season.

    This place is always so busy when we drive by. You smell how delicious everything is when you're outside . Finally stopped by and it wasn't busy for lunch. The service is A plus, people are so nice and our drinks were never empty. The decor is so cute! You can keep looking around and theres so much to see. The food was what it smelled like and I can't wait to come back. At least for lunch prices it's worth it. I would say that if you want to get dinner call and make reservations. I overheard the hostess telling someone that they could not fit their large party that night.

    Decided to check out Kitchen and Rail in Golden Valley, and overall, it has a stylish, upscale-casual vibe. They recently opened this second location in February, and we were excited to try some of their new seasonal spring menu items. The creamy asparagus pesto pasta was a standout--absolutely delicious. The bucatini was cooked perfectly and the sauce tasted fresh and flavorful. My only note is that I wish it had been served a bit warmer. We also tried the taco flight, which included hot honey ginger chicken with mango pico, lamb with cucumber verde salsa, and beef barbacoa with rojas and cilantro. Unfortunately, this was underwhelming. The tacos lacked flavor and didn't quite live up to expectations. For dessert, I was really looking forward to the "better than sex" cake, but it missed the mark for me. The cream topping had a strong espresso flavor, and since I'm not a fan of coffee, it wasn't enjoyable. For drinks, I had the "Toes in the Sand" mocktail (aperol, almond orgeat, pineapple, and lime). It was fresh and light, but I wish it had a bit more sweetness. The "Pink Buffalo" (ginger syrup, grenadine, lemon) was better--nicely balanced between tart and sweet. It was pretty busy when we arrived, so we ended up sitting at the bar, which we didn't mind. However, the service was a bit inconsistent. The bartender seemed a little frazzled and wasn't very attentive to us, yet was noticeably more engaged and friendly to the couple seated next to us. It wasn't a huge issue, but more consistency in service would have made the experience better. Overall, a mixed experience--great pasta, but some dishes and service could use improvement.

    Truffle fries
    Nathan R.

    Sat at the bar during opening week Greeted by friendly bartenders especially Luciano who gave excellent service and made some good cocktails The truffle fries were really tasty and the bar has a good selection of drinks The food menu looks pretty good - I'll have to come back and check it out

    We were very pleased to see the old Mort's Deli spot under construction at last. I was not familiar with Kitchen & Rail but did some online sleuthing and found this was a second location for them! High hopes. We stopped in for dinner the other night and overall liked it. It's a nice addition to the neighborhood, and we are just dying for more restaurants. We will definitely be back. Those who were familiar with Mort's may find it a bit disorienting when walking into Kitchen & Rail. They really did a full overhaul of the inside, building a beautiful curved bar, lining the shelves above the bar with about 30 kinds of whisky (yay!). The inside design features dark wood and floral patterns. It's the type of design I've seen at other restaurants (Pink Ivy in Hopkins comes to mind) but it is very classy and well done at Kitchen & Rail. A cool, chill relaxed vibe. It would be a great spot for a happy hour, a date or just a drink and a bite at the bar. We honestly had trouble deciding what to order. We loved that they have a pastrami sandwich called the Mort. I'm big on honoring history so that was a big tick for me. We ordered the grilled asparagus with hollandaise (on the seasonal menu), the cauliflower "burnt ends," I got the chicken picatta and he got the butter chicken. -The asparagus was beautuflly cooked - positively perfect. The hollandaise was good, but it wasn't really hot. It was kind of just gloopy in a ramekin. More the consistency of mayo than a sauce. But tasty. -The burnt ends were good and barbecue-y. -My chicken picatta was pretty tasty. I was kind of surprised that you only got one small piece of chicken and a big bowl of pastsa. But it was lemony and pretty tasty. I did notice that all of the capers in the dish had all like exploded and were mushy and spilling out of their shell or whatever it's called. I guessed that they added them early in the dish preparation and they just popped with all the heat. My only complaint about the dish. -Hubby said the butter chicken was good but he wanted an additional piece of naan. -My cocktail was fine. I was somewhat surprised to see they charged $5 for an arnold palmer, but whatever. Service was ... OK. A little slow and stilted sometimes but overall got the job done fairly proficiently. We'll be back.

    The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the aesthetic of the place is a total 10/10. I could sit in this bar forever feeling like it's the cutest place on earth. Their dish ware is adorable and none of it matches and the vibe is so chic. I had the burger and the grease level was on point. Definitely a filling portion meal. Think smash burger vibes but a thicker waygu double patty on a fresh bun. It was delicious! My husband had the chicken sliders and the spice level was too much for me but right up his alley. I love that you can order multiple sliders to taste different ones and get a variety. We shared the fried pickles which were very good and crispy. I always hesitate ordering fried pickles at places bc nothing compares to the state fair IFYKYK but these were worth it. Aperol spritz - healthy pour Espresso martini - surprisingly good, so different from any I've tried so I was a little hesitant but it was very good and I'll definitely have it again. We went right around 11 for lunch on a Friday and as we were leaving it was starting to fill up pretty fast. Hoping this place performs well, it's a perfect date night for us, close by with good vibes. Only complaints are the prices, example: $10 for a draft Kona is a little steep IMO.

    The Joe Mac Burger w/ fries
    Andre H.

    I've been here twice and both times were great. The service was great and food came out pretty quick. The first time I ordered the Vietnamese pork belly which was a 8.5/10. My most recent visit, I ordered the Joe Mac burger and it was a 8/10. The burger was juicy and tender and the fries were great. The bison chili was just ok. Definitely a spot to add to the rotation of restaurants that I live by.

    The mort- smoky and FILLED with meat!
    Nicole N.

    The hype on this place has been really awesome and I knew I needed to give them a try! So for date night I made reservations. I would highly recommend making the reservation! This is not an overly large establishment. There is plenty of free parking! Walk right up to the red door and be transported into a beautiful and unique decor set! The hostess was so lovely! We were seated right away and the waitress came fairly quickly with waters to start. My boyfriend got a beer on tap and I got a cosmo. Light, refreshing and the perfect way to start! We then got the truffle fries! Holy moly, these are some of the best ones in the twin cities for sure!! For dinner I got the famous filet mignon sandwich. I ordered it medium and it was mostly medium with some parts being well done. With that being said, it was tender. I would love to have had a little more flavor from the meat. My boyfriend got the Mort and it was stacked high with Smokey meat! He was a big fan!! We couldn't settle on just one dessert so we got the better than sex cake and the cherry kissed chocolate decadence. Both of them were phenomenal! I also got the espresso martini, which was very vodka forward. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark for me and I would not order it again. Overall this place was absolutely amazing and I would recommend it!

    Chips and dip
    Lily S.

    Checked out Kitchen and Rail for happy hour and it was a solid choice. The prices were actually really good for the quality of food you get. The lemon and dill in the chip dip was so good, and the sliders were actually juicy and not dry at all. My favorite was definitely that olive oil cheese dip thing, I'm not sure what it's called but it was amazing. Fried pickles were also pretty good. The vibe inside is cool and our server Lily was very sweet and made the experience even better. Definitely recommend.

    What a great addition to Golden Valley Stopped by the bar on opening week, was mid busy, the bar has a great view of the kitchen and the cooks preparing food I was excited to try their espresso martini as I've heard it's pretty good but unfortunately they ran out of cold foam and tried to substitute it with heavy cream- which was not good at all but the bartender was awesome and switched the drink out for a really tasty Cosmopolitan The truffle fries were 10/10 they come with a bernaise sauce perfect appetizer The happy hour menu looks great- all the staff we encountered were super friendly and I can't wait to come back and try more items As it was opening week they had run out of a few menu items but I'm sure in a month things will run better ! The service here was great and that's why I'll be back

    Sliders
    Chelly G.

    Staff was friendly and the decor was cute. The fried pickles were good. The pork sliders had plenty of meat but lacked flavor. The wings were huge and tasty. The Aperol spritz was just okay, but the margarita was good. The tacos in the taco flight were generously sized, though overall just average.

They have great happy hour menu - we started with the shrimp appetizer which as flavorful and the shrimp was plump and well cooked. We also got the burger and the Waterbury salad. Burger was good, but the salad was a bit basic; I was expecting more bacon and more blue cheese dressing, it was mostly just basic iceberg lettuce which is not awesome for $13. I also tried the Hugo spritz which was refreshing but a bit sweet for my taste. I will for some come back to try more things!

Relatively easy to find, though you do have to hunt a little bit, Flora Room sits behind a nondescript metal door leading down a short hallway to the entrance. Take a long moment to allow your eyes to adjust if you're coming before sunset; this space is DARK. It's also perfect. Once your "night vision" kicks in you're surrounded by a nice bar, numerous bistro-style tables and booths. Candles adorn the tables creating a nice, cozy place to settle in for drinks. Once seated in comfortable chairs at a table, we were quickly greeted and provided with menus. The cocktail selection is relatively "small" but really nicely varied. Prices seemed a tad steep but frankly, given the quality of the drinks I'd say quite worth it. I started out with the Evita, a nice flavorful gin-base cocktail topped with a nice egg white foam. Very tasty. My wife opted for the Tapaculo, with gin, mezcal, pineapple, banana and bitters over ice. Also quite good. There are also bites available from the associated restaurant I can't recall the name of mine but I can say it was delicious. Bread-like bites with a really tasty dipping sauce. To close out the visit I selected Palo, a smoked aged rum cocktail that was really nice and rich. My wife chose the Nahualito with rum, walnut, amontillado and white chocolate. All should be on your radar. Flora Room really fit the bill for a nice, intimate speakeasy-style spot to spend time. Dark and cozy. Savory cocktails and friendly service will stand out and make you want to return. I know we'll seek it out if we return to Minneapolis again. I hope so.

The place itself is pretty loud - both with music and talking, so maybe not the best location for a first date. The drinks are expensive, but the experience was worthwhile for us. I enjoyed the meditteránea. I'll very likely be back! What a neat spot.
