Three of us met for a meal, and shared a number of dishes. All our food was wonderful! We started with Yellowtail Crudo. It was excellent and tasted very fresh. Next we shared a steak, and a pasta dish. The steak was very flavorful, and tender. The pasta included mushrooms and braised short rib (and more). It had a wonderful depth of flavor, and I would have it again in a heartbeat. We closed with olive oil lemon cake. Again - perfect. Let's talk service. That was a disappointment. Our server was not having a good evening. Some of our food was not as she represented. Also, our food came without serving utensils. Our steak was served as two big hunks, as opposed to being shingled for sharing. After mentioning these things to our server, things got decidedly chilly. Our server only swung by at light speed. She was pretty testy and unpleasant. No thanks for coming in or have a good night. I'd go back, but if I was given the same server I'd ask to change that before proceeding. Go and enjoy the good food!
I got the cabbage and it was really good for a vegan option. I could have easily had 2 of them. My friends were raving about the pizza and homemade pasta too! Service was kind and the ambiance feels cozy yet open.
Visited 3/22/25. First of all, Kyndred Hearth is beautiful. Super spacious and cool with darker lighting and an abundance of tables. Location feels kind of like its own world since it is attached to the Viking Omni hotel and is nearest to the training center in Eagan. Staff was super helpful and friendly from the start. There were lots of different drink options and I got a cider while my mom and sister each got glasses of wine. Then to eat we shared an order of arancini as a starter. It was perfectly cheesy and accompanied with fresh marinara. My mom ordered the mushroom pizza, my sister the vodka pasta, and me the sweet Italian pizza. Everything was delicious but we all agreed we liked the pasta best. It tasted homemade and was perfectly al dente. I liked my sausage pizza too and it heated up in the oven well as leftovers for lunch the next day. Overall while the menu could benefit from a few more vegetarian entree options, it was a solid dinner and a cool layout.
Much like the rest of the Omni, the restaurant experience did not disappoint. I was staying at the hotel with a few girlfriends and we were hungry far earlier than expected. Walked into the hostess and she was incredibly accommodating to fit us in early for our reservation. We started with some cocktails, and each of them were tasty including my personal dry martini order. As there were dozens of items that looked delicious, we split a pizza, two pastas and the chicken. All were absolutely, plate licking good and the portions were generous. I also have to emphasize not to sleep on the chicken, I'm so glad our server recommended! The waitress was very friendly and the space is big and open. It is quite loud and vibrant but there are some pockets you could sit in for a more private experience. Would definitely visit again and also saw many people grab to go orders and enjoy a brew at the bar while they waited so even if you're not looking for a dinner out, could be a great eat in option!
Finally got a chance to head over here for dinner (figured was going to get a gift card for someone, so wanted to be able to tell them about the food). Kyndred Hearth did not disappoint. Everyone had told me how fancy/expensive it was, which, I will say, yes, it is more upscale, but I didn't find it to be pretentious or terribly unreasonable prices. I can't say no to arancini, so when I saw those on the menu, I was thrilled. They were delicious. I was really in a burger mood the day we went, and the Skol burger was great, albeit, too much for me (maybe a single patty instead of double would have been better). Drinks were also good and also couldn't pass up the ice cream with olive oil. Hubs had the Baked Alaska, which was also great. Will definitely come back again!
we had a nice date night at kyndred hearth :) food was tasty, service was friendly, cocktails were well made. the aesthetic was pretty. it has a TV in the bar if you wanted to watch a game. parking was super easy since they have a large lot.
Recommended. Being in MSP for work, we were recommended Kyndered Hearth for a good meal and was not disappointed. It took a bit to get us seated despite arriving at our reservation time. We waited 15-20 to be seated. Party of 5, we elected to share 3 pizzas and apps amongst us. We ordered the Margarita, meat & mushroom pizzas. They were oven baked with a crispy crust.
Stumbled upon this place in 2020 for an anniversary date and had an awesome time. Pasta was amazing and everything felt completely upscale but at reasonable prices, so we were so impressed. Came back in 2024 to celebrate our anniversary again and brought my family in for a birthday this year (2025). Food is still just as amazing and delicious. We tried the Korean short rib this time and if you love sweet ribs, this is the perfect order. Lumache lobster pasta is still as delicious, rigatoni alla vodka for a little kick, and ravioli was so tasty! Tried the scallops and the salmon and would highly highly recommend it as well. Everything was just phenomenal all around. Had some delicious cocktails and two bottles of wine as well and server was very patient in explaining the different taste to us! It was a great experience :)
Woohoo! I finally got the chance to eat at Kyndred Hearth! I came in a Friday night at 5:15PM and was able to easily find a parking spot. Since it is connected to the Omni Viking Lakes Hotel, there are large surface lots available for parking. There is also a valet option. The ambience is bright yet moody and there's a wide range of people there. Kids in pajamas to people dressed in dressy casual attire. There is a large bar, a high top area right by the pizza oven, and other tables and partial booths scattered around the restaurant. Our server was attentive and when I asked about gluten free options, they were quick to explain that many dishes are gluten free or can be made gluten free. They even have gluten free pizza crust. I am usually not used to many options so I had a pretty hard time deciding what to get. I was pleased to see that the drink menu had mocktail options. I ordered the passion berry punch very much. Our table got the antipasti and meatballs for an appetizer. They were thoroughly enjoyed. I finally decided on the hanger steak which was cooked to perfection..although small. I enjoyed splitting the wood oven-roasted beets with my sister. And of course, we had dessert. I've never had a chocolate budino (which is GF) and it was quite delicious. Yum. Cannot wait to be back. *One thing that was a bit annoying....the menus are physically large and it was very difficult to find a place for them since they took up a significant portion of the table. We ordered appetizers before our main meals so our server did not take them when she took our appetizer order although we would have been ready to order everything.
We came here last night on the recommendation of our son and DIL who were here recently and loved it. The restaurant is beautiful and very well laid out. We had cocktails upstairs at Ember & Ice before our dinner reservation. Highly recommend a signature cocktail at this lovely bar. We sat at the bar (after being graciously moved from the slightly wobbly, slightly uncomfortable high top table) and the service was amazing. I had the tavern pizza which was delightful. Hubby had the hot chicken sandwich and that was equally delightful. And as you can see, there were fries for days. Had the vanilla soft serve with caramel and sea salt for dessert. Definitely a little skimpy on the caramel, but still tasty. Beware this restaurant is quite loud. It seems like all restaurants now with high ceilings are very loud so not too surprising.
Beautiful space connecting the Vikings Omni hotel. Can be intimate or casual depending on your intentions. There is an expansive wine list that includes some reallly good details on helping you choose your perfect pair. The menu seemed a bit limited but a decent amount of variety. Nothing stood out to me as something I'd like to come back for however. Service was a bit slower than expected but our host was friendly. The short rib was average and the chicken sandwich was also okay.
Drinks were good, but pretty difficult to find a table. Would recommend getting a reservation in advance unless you have time to wait a while. Drinks also took quite a while to arrive, and were pretty light.
It's been awhile since we've been here and it was a good reminder we should go back more often. This last visit was to celebrate our anniversary. It's menu variety makes it a great place for a special occasion or just a casual gathering. We started with the meatballs. It was a substantial starter and very good. I chose the salmon special for my entree and husband had Binchotan chicken. The sauce and veggie combo with the salmon was an excellent complement of texture and taste. Both meals were very good. We finished with sea salt caramel ice cream. Didn't need it but it was so good. Service was excellent. Parking easy. Great anniversary stop.

Solidly ok. Pretty room with high ceilings. We had two appetizers (Antipasto - $24 - ok but expensive for what you get and arrancini - again, ok and $14.) We also two different kinds of pizza. Sweet Italian - $19, Sausage & Pepperoni - $20. The pizza has very thin crust. It was ok. The pizzas were medium size. Baked Alaska was mostly topping. Service was rapid and friendly. read more

The first two visits I came here I would've given a 3.5 star. I am increasing it to 4 stars due to the consistency of the apps and how I think they are all good each time I come. The Korean ribs The snap peas and fingerling potatoes save the day. The first time I went, the fingering potatoes were very memorable as well. Has a great crispy texture flavored with just the right amount of seasoning. Overall, I'll probably be back! read more
Wow, now THIS is pizza! One of the best pies I've had. Extremely well made and high quality ingredients. Fennel sausage is straight money. Extremely large restaurant but you better make resos cause this place is busy! Even the bar was fully packed not long after opening time. 20 or so seats around the bar, lots of TV's. Great ambiance and would definitely return. Wish their hours were a bit better, especially as a guest here. But it's all good. I'll be back for some za. read more
One of my good friends recommended this restaurant to me, she said it was amazing and one of her favorites in the local area. My husband and I came here for a date night. I made reservations the day before on OpenTable - which I highly recommend doing. We were seated immediately upon arrival and found our waitress TJ to be super helpful and friendly. She brought us drinks right away and offered suggestions on the alcohol mixed drinks as well. For our starters we got Meatballs and Broccolini to share. They were both incredibly good!! Hands down would get the broccolini again - I could eat the whole plate myself lol. The red sauce on the meatballs was incredibly tasty - I could tell they make it fresh in-house! For our main meal we were encouraged to get either the pizza or pasta dishes. I chose to get a wood fired pizza that's done in the beautiful copper oven. I added olives to the Hawaiian pizza and my husband added fennel sausage (also made in-house) to his Tavern pizza. TJ shared that due to the thin crust of the pizza at max can only do 4 total toppings on any of the pizzas. So I asked TJ if I could get a side of the mixed mushrooms (because I LOVE) mushrooms and she was kind enough to bring me a generous side portion. Everything was delicious, from the starters to the pizzas, mixed mushrooms side, and alcoholic drinks. I appreciated that TJ let us eat our food too. She wasn't constantly in our faces as we were eating. We'll definitely be back here for more date nights and to try other items on a fabulous menu!!! read more

Pizza is off the chart here. The toppings are delicious, but I could have just eaten the crust plainly on its own. I had their pepperoni one, the mushroom, basil and the Hawaiian. I have been here twice in the last few months. Yes, I love this place so much I could not wait to return each time. The only downside of it is the location being far from my home..or is that a good thing so I don't spend my whole paycheck here? Haha. I know Ann Kim has several restaurants, but this restaurant just has an easy reservation on Open Table, a large parking lot and very spacious dining area. There is even a spillover bar upstairs but I am not sure if it was part of the Omni hotel or associated with the restaurant. Drinks are superb here and I love love love their pictographic cocktails menu. For entree, the beef short ribs were so good and tender. The meat falls off the bone. It's a must order dish. I also had their lobster pasta and I devoured that dish. I love the fair serving of meat in it. I appreciate that the dish was not drowned in sauce. It was very good, but I still prefer my pasta with a balanced sauce to pasta ratio. Lastly, make sure you get their soft serve ice cream...it is divine. Service was attentive and friendly. Guess what!? I will return in a heartbeat! read more

She did it again! Another great dining spot by Ann Kim. My friend said the Korean chicken sandwich was amazing. I had the Margherita pizza and broccolini. Both superb and worth every penny. The restaurant was GORGEOUS and our server was lovely. Absolutely will be back. read more

We really wanted to like this spot.... But it was mediocre. To begin, it was very unfortunate that we were sat at a table that was absolutely not meant for 5 people. It was also wobbly as all hell and not big enough for our group. We were annoyingly shifting and fussing all night in an attempt to try to get the correct angle so the food wouldn't fall off the table. Likewise, every time we were brought an appetizer they acted like they had never seen us before. Equally annoying, none of the food came out warm. Didn't even feel like it was seemingly under a hot lamp. Given the price, the food was okay. We tried many of the wood fired pizzas, which were good, but again, wishing they were warm. The garlic aïoli that came with the fries was the most memorable thing I had tonight. I think if you want a good burger, fries, beer, and a nice ambiance this would be a slam dunk option. read more

A great choice to celebrate my 40th birthday. Order a lot of different choices and share with friends. Staff is always very attentive and friendly. The ambience is romantic and warm and you can dress up or come casual. Big parking lot that you never have to worry about finding a spot. Reservation a few days before highly recommended. Having been here a few times before the reviews from my dinner parties is that the mushroom pizza ranks as our top voted fire pizza. This top chef is female (YAHOO we love to know it!) and has a base via Netflix. Outstanding food. Thank you. read more

Made reservations for a Thursday evening at 6pm. The restaurant is situated inside Omni Hotel Vikings Lake. There were 10 of us and they placed us in a private back room. Our waiter was super friendly and knowledgeable about all the items on the menu. We ordered several items to share at the table- meatballs, mushroom pizza, cheesy bread. Then we all ordered our own entrees. I ordered the Korean fried chicken. OMG so good and worth every bite. As my side I ordered the broccolini. Im not sure what seasoning was on it but it was perfect. I'm going to have to order that exact meal again! After our meals we were stuffed, but we ordered several desserts to share. I tasted the olive oil ice cream, became why not? It was good but not sure I could eat an entire bowl of it. Really had a great meal with great company. Can't wait to go back! read more

Chef Ann Kim recipes / pizza at the Vikings hotel ?? While I'm not a vikings fan, it was an awesome experience to have such delicious food at such a cool location - including the surrounding parks and the Vikings training center. The classy restaurant itself did not disappoint, it featured a wider range of options including pasta, veggies, and mains on top of a good list of Ann Kim's signature pizzas. Our servers was also very welcoming and attentive to us throughout the night, she was very knowledgeable in the menu and explained everything well. We had 5 people in our party and ordered 2 pizzas, 1 main, 1 appetizer, 1 salad, and 1 dessert to share and that was plenty for our stomachs. The tavern pizza was one of my favorites, the sweetness of the honey and spicy jalapenos were a surprisingly good pairing with the cheesy pepperonis. We had the Korean braised short rib as a main and while the short rib wasn't quite what I was expecting (classic bone in Korean short rib), it was sooo tasty with the sauce and the bok choy and shiitake mushrooms were great with the sauce too. Not pictured are the chicken liver pate and chopped salad that were both delicious. All the servings were generous and perfectly filled everyone's stomach while being able to experience so many flavors in each dish. To top it off, we tried the soft serve ice cream with olive oil and sea salt as featured on Ann Kim's Netflix special Chef's Table: Pizza, and it was truly a unique combination that I'll have to have again! The olive oil was not too much and it did feel weird eating a spoonful of it, but it paired well with the house made vanilla and sprinkle of salt in every other bite. After dinner don't forget to head to the lobby of the Omni hotel and soak in everything Nordic / viking as the lobby is fun to explore and walk around in. 10/10 recommend and will return! read more

Spent the afternoon in the spa and then headed down here for dinner. The Skol burger was incredible!!! The perfect ratio of sauce, cheese, beef, onions, and bun! And I don't normally like burgers with sauce.Also enjoyed the mushroom pizza but would only recommend if you like fontina! Our server was delightful and super attentive. Service was quick and she had us fed and out of there fast--which is what we wanted because we all had kids to get home to after a day away! I loved the vibe of this place! read more
