The drinks here are incredible! Made with care and attention to detail. This was my first time checking this place out and it had been on my list. We mostly came for drinks and appetizers but I really have to come back for all the incredible food choices they have on the menu!! They have a cute area to take some photos on a couch. It is a dark place but I really enjoy the atmosphere. Our server was so attentive and helped make our visit a fantastic experience. read more

We were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to try something new. I came across Latitude 44 while looking up places. It was easy to get a reservation and on the day, we were greeted and seated promptly! The service was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. For starters, we had the lobster bisque and steak tartare. I will admit I was a little apprehensive when ordering the bisque but I'm glad I did! It did everything I needed it to. It was perfectly creamy and tasty, as well as comforting! The tartare was pretty good but we weren't fans of the EXTREMELY crisp "bread" pairing. The main dish was the Seafood Perlou which was almost perfect (the mussels felt off). The cocktails were quite good as well! There were some curious pairings and mixtures on there but they worked very well! Overall, this was a good experience. It seems like a good place for a first date, or a business dinner, or even a more casual outing with friends! It was good without trying too hard, if that makes sense. read more

We visited latitude 44 for the first time to celebrate a friends birthday the other night. We were absolutely disappointed our service provided by server Andrew. Andrew was completely rude and had a horrible attitude the whole time. Not only did he appear to be completely bothered to be working, but you could tell something made him upset and he clearly chose to take it out on us this night. It was very unfortunate as it made us very uncomfortable and turned the whole experience into a negative one. I asked a question about an item on the desert menu since it wasn't listed and he responded with "what I mentioned earlier....." and paused as if I was going to magically remember what flavors he had said until he eventually repeated the options to me. My husband caught his tone and immediately was upset after this. Also a fruit fly had flown into my friends drink which is not only gross but not our fault and when asking if he could have at least that dumped out and the same amount poured into it since it was on ice he said well that's basically water now and then said but okay sure whatever and walked away. As someone who has worked in the customer service industry I would have been absolutely mortified to speak to people this way and then to return to the table and show my face again. It was very disappointing. We wanted to speak to a manager but also wanted to get out as fast as we could as well. However we did keep the receipt to make sure we had his name. I hope he is okay because clearly something was making him very sour. Poor guy. I DO NOT recommend. read more

This restaurant is beautiful and appointed with very upscale chandeliers, linens and decor. It's big and full of light from an entire wall of windows despite being partially below ground level. It's totally handicapped accessible. A very important detail given I was in a wheelchair due to a broken left thigh. This is what brought me to Rochester and The Mayo Clinic. The owner came to our aid in the lobby where we weren't sure what floor the restaurant is on. He handled it. Got me onto the elevator, took us to the first floor, and then to a table where he helped me into a dining chair and spirited away my wheelchair. He helped me feel like any other diner. Our waiter, Rudy was right there to take drink orders. Then returned in a suitable time to take our dinner orders. We all 3 ordered the filet mignon. I also ordered a Caesar salad with an added 6 white anchovies from Spain. Nothing like the canned anchovies I'm used to. They were fresh and delicious. Quite a treat. When we were done with the steaks which were perfectly prepared, nicely seasoned, and generous, it had begun raining hard. The owner came to our table and said he'd take us back to our hotel since we'd "walked" there and there was no sign of an imminent rain. Who offers that? Dave does. He got my wheelchair and bundled us and my wheelchair into his Escalade and took us the half mile to our hotel since we'd we couldn't thank him enough. In addition to the restaurant which is in a 2-story historic castle, there is a private room for private parties that Dave's wife handles. I take my hat off to this enterprising couple. They have worked hard to create this unique place. You must go. read more

Stopped for meal and drinks. Sat at the bar, the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable about the beer options, that were brewed onsite. Had the w chicken sandwich was very tasty. Sat at the bar and ordered food. Moved to an empty table, which there were plenty by the bar, were told by the hostess, we would not have a server and would have to get our own drinks at the bar. They were not that busy and her rudeness left a bad taste. read more

I have gone here multiple times and have always been blown away by the service and food! The ambiance in the restaurant is great all the staff members are great and so is the food. They have so many options and options available for kids as well which is always a plus. The drinks are amazing and this is a great place to celebrate or even just go to for dinner. I have never had a bad experience here! Highly recommend read more

I came in to Latitude 44 on a Saturday night and can't tell this ether of people enough how much I enjoyed this experience with my mother. The host was the owner and immediately we were greeted with a warm smile that made us feel welcomed. Thenn, we were lucky enough to have his younger brother, Joe as our waiter. Everything he recommended looked so good that we had a hard time deciding. For entrees we had the mushroom risotto and the halibut (which Joe said if he could have picked anything would be his choice) andddd yup that was the one for me. So good. I don't always usually finish my plate but I wanted to lick it clean. My moms mushroom risotto was so good, large mushrooms that were incredible, although selfishly I wanted her to try to the short rib bc I wanted to try it. Alas, Twas fine because I did love the mushroom risotto. We started the meal off with the mango burrata and I'll tell yall what, it was delicious...I'd explain it but it's something you have to try if you see it on the menu. I had a mocktail bc I have to fly tomorrow early morning and that was also incredible (got drunk off how good it was, ya know)...I will now explain dessert. The dessert is an expresso creme brûlée, my mom and I fought over whether to get that or the chocolate mousse and I won. Joe said the espresso martini would be good with that and tbh I wish I had done it bc based on the fact that he told me about the halibut and everything else I'd follow him blindly till the depths of the earths core. Anyways. Go here. You won't regret it. Xoxo read more

We went her for dinner to celebrate getting through two days at the Mayo Clinic. Our server was Malcom, who was delightful. He gave great recommendations and told us about the history of the restaurant. Really appreciated his friendly and upbeat personality. I had the seafood perlou, which Malcom explained was like jambalaya with a kick. I loved it. Tons of seafood and great sausage. We also had the walleye which was perfectly cooked. The best dessert was the root beer float but the chocolate mousse was good too. Fun modern atmosphere. Highly recommend. Not inexpensive but worth the money. read more

The food was bland. No flavor in the French Onion Soup. The Shrimp Cocktail had 5 shrimp. The first 2 were good, but the last 3 were chewy and tough. The burger was dry. It would've been better with tomato, lettuce, something! The waiter was great in the beginning, but then he disappeared. Sub-par. Won't be back. read more

The star of the night was the Rib Eye. It was cooked and seasoned incredibly well and for what you're paying for you get a good quantity of food. I'd highly recommend this is you're coming to Latitude 44. The scallops were cooked perfectly and tasted great, however you'll probably leave hungry if you select this as a main course. The service was fantastic and the ambiance is great as well. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try read more

Love this place. Great happy hour, awesome atmosphere and food is great. Service is always exceptional. It's the best hidden gem near downtown. I also appreciate that you can have conversation with table mates without having to strain. So many places in town are so loud. Latitude is awesome. And their bar upstairs is super fun too. AND, you can easily converse there too!! :-) read more

Best Halibut fish dish that I've ever had. In Rochester, MN?? I know. But trust me. And order the espresso crème brûlée. You will be happy that you did. Excellent service as well. read more

Great ambience. Service was excellent. The grilled cheese was amazing! Creative cocktails. A little gem tucked into a castle. A great escape. read more

Wow, thoroughly impressed with Latitude 44! The crab cakes, scallops, filet, lamb, and deserts were all incredible (we had a big group)! Only thing better was the service, gf consideration for my fiancé, and the owner Dave for making us feel so welcome and taken care of! Really unique, historic building too! Definitely my new favorite spot! read more

Our son gave us dinners here for a special occasion. The food was different but excellent. Service was excellent by Maddie and other staff. It's a good-sized space but the layout made it seem cozy. Not too noisy, This is a gourmet restaurant and that's reflected in the prices. I recommend for special occasions read more

My husband and I were in Rochester for the weekend and looking for a nice place for a dinner date. Latitude 44 did not disappoint! The vibes are modern and chic and I particularly enjoyed the open kitchen concept where we could watch the chefs in action. Our server was very personable, attentive, and honestly a hoot! I can't remember his name but he is the guy with no social media accounts. He shared insights into ingredient sourcing and preparation. His genuine enthusiasm elevated our experience. The food was excellent. For the app, we ordered the ratatouille because I have NEVER seen ratatouille as an app. Crisply fried, bite-sized pieces paired with a sun-dried tomato parmesan sauce was a unique twist on a classic dish! For the main, I ordered the scallops. They were perfectly cooked (not rubbery) and plated on a cajun veggie and bacon mix. The corn was freshly shaved off the cob and was delicious. My husband ordered the Ribeye with asparagus as the side and oyster mushroom add-on. The oyster mushrooms were butter-sauteed and the asparagus tasted baked. There was a peppercorn dry-rub on the steak and it was slightly on the saltier side, but did not take away from the flavor. Overall, a really solid steak with little to complain about. For dessert we got the Espresso Crème Brûlée. 1000/10 wow. I would come back for just this alone. It's a must-try. For cocktails we went all out and got the HOLLA AT CHAMOY!, SUMAC THAT!!, BUTTERFLY EFFECT and LA PALOMA PICANTE! While the presentation and names were playful and inviting, the taste, though good, fell slightly short of our expectations. As a self-proclaimed harsh critic, I felt they lacked a certain depth or complexity that matched their names. Overall I would definitely come back for our next trip to Rochester and would recommend it to others! read more

This was my first time at this wonderful establishment! It was awesome! The food was delicious, the service was great and the experience was memorable! I had one of the best Old fashions I had ever had! Highly recommend! The scallops were so tasty and couldn't have been prepared better. And because I could not choose on ONE dessert, I ordered both the crème brûlée and the mousse. Our server brought me plenty of spoons on a lovely serving platter so I could share the treats with my friends! BOTH sweets were excellent choices and highly recommended! Oh, I almost forgot the shrimp as the appetizer! Wow! colossal! We had to fight over the last remaining shrimp! I snapped a picture before it was gone! So, you can see that there were NO complaints with this fantastic meal! Give it a try! I hope you have an equally enjoyable time like we did! read more

A beautiful setting, well decorated for the season, combined with attentive, knowledgeable and friendly service. The food was well prepared, although the French Onion Soup was not as intense as I remember it and my main course was served a little cool. The table really enjoyed their first visit to the restaurant. read more

We had outstanding service in this really cool place with a chic industrial vibe. Our food was pretty average, especially for the price point, but the sautéed mushrooms were pretty good. I'm giving an overall 4 star rating based on the 5 star service picking up the overall food experience. read more

In town for business and this restaurant had great reviews so I went for dinner. I ordered the filet, ceasar salad and creme brûlée. Steak was undercooked and needed salt. Definitely did not taste like a $40+ steak. Had better steak at Dennys. The grilled carrots that came with it was great. The salad was good but I was charged $5 for 4 pieces of anchovies. Crème Brulee was amazing. The expresso flavor was unique and tasty. My waiter was outstanding. Great service. Overall, overrated and over priced. Don't believe the hype. Or find out for yourself and make your own opinion. read more

A while back, a good foodie friend of mine and her husband moved to Rochester and she told me about how diverse and unique some of the restaurants are. It makes sense when you are such a major hub of healthcare with professionals from all over the globe coming to treat and work with patients. Recently my dad completed a round of chemo/radiation treatments, and on my way home from the cities I was able to stop and see him. While doing so I made sure to reach out to a friend for restaurant recommendations and she suggested Latitude 44. We ended up meeting there for a quick bite and after my weekend of over indulgence, this Buddha bowl packed with veggies and healthy ingredients hit the spot. It is the perfect example of how just because something is healthy doesn't mean it has to lack flavor. Also, how cool was this specialty martini with squid ink?? I couldn't resist... I had to try it. I can't say that I will order it again, but it was a great experience. read more

There were some nice things I could say about the food, decor, and service. If only they hadn't ruined it all by adding a bogus charge for "employee wellness". I've seen some ridiculous games like this played in Denver, but that city is known for nonsense like this. I had a higher opinion of the restaurant community in Rochester - until now. I won't return to this place. read more

Three of us enjoyed dinner here on a Thursday evening. Upon entering, one is stuck by the stylishness of the interior. Cocktails were classic and strong (Negroni, sidecar, sazerac, etc). The jackfruit "crab cakes" really did have the texture of the real thing and were delicious. The Cajun remoulade was flavorful and fragrant, but the plate could have used more of it. My entree, goat cheese stuffed chicken, was an elegant version of chicken Kiev. This was complemented by lemon accented roasted asparagus. The service level here is high end. These people are doing it right! read more

We were treated to a generous meal here by the parents of one of our private students. Truly, it was a lovely meal and very satisfying. The service was very good and the ambiance was nice. We shared most items for the fun of sampling. With a larger group, doing that could be even more fun! We're looking forward to our next visit and recommend this restaurant. read more

Our first visit was great. Nice holiday touch, great lighting, spacing between tables was perfect. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. Server Dan was excellent. Great advice on apps, main courses and a great Cab to go w my ribeye. The walleye w bur blanc sauce had a delicate outer crust w capers and so moist and flaky. Wife said it was the best she has EVER had! Highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Booked 3 months ahead and greeted my wife with Happy Birthday. Great environment in the Castle building for meal or drinks. The Seafood Perlou was a fantastic meal especially if you like seafood. The Benton Ham and rice together have a savory flavor that counters the seafood and is unbelievable! Not a big rice eater, but I would eat just that every day, Cocktails were very good. Tried the Porkerhouse chop - nice size of meat but either I got a bad cut of meat or ?? It was very dry, tough and had a freezer burned taste. Our waiter was tied up with a big party after bringing the main course and after I tried a cut from different spots on the chop, a different waiter came up and asked if everything was OK. I rarely have to say anything and am cautious that it might be my taste, but he was very nice and appreciated that I was not being fussy or rude. He recognized that something was wrong from half way across the restaurant. Great great service!! Replaced quickly with a walleye fillet and was excellent especially with their sea salt. Had the beef broth soup and the cornbread croutons made a non-soup person eat the entire bowl. Jackfruit crab cakes are a must, even for people that don't like seafood. Dragon fruit sorbet (wow) and triple chocolate cheesecake are hits. Oh nice job on grilled asparagus - perfect! Great place for a night with friends - has a speak-easy feel. read more

Latitude 44 - Cocktails. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

First timer. We have visited many of the best spots including Marrow, Paladar, blue duck and now L44. The decor is sparse but I'm not eating for the decorations. The waiter James was spot on. In point. Attentive. But not smothering. Water was filled always. A small Caesar salad was tasty and quite large. The beet salad was very tasty. Entrees included Lucious gnocchi in a cream sauce and lamb pappardelle with tomatoes. Both were very very good. Suggestions. James should carry a cloth and wipe up the cream spills on the table and also offer Parmesan on the pasta dish. Might have been fun to have some olive oil on the table also. Over all. I still rank Marrow #1 with paladar and L44 sharing second with bleu duck continuing to disappoint on all facets and a distant 4th. Well Done L44. A casual and well crafted dinner that more than surpassed expectations. I will be back As a chicago foodie, I can't give you 5 stars but for Rochester, it would earn 5 stars. read more

Too expensive. Too upscale for me. Service was excellent. Food was cooked well; but small portions

We loved this place. Fantastic service! The drinks were fantastic and the food was very creative. Especially the seafood dish. It had a smoky flavor throughout and the crème brûlée top notch! Also, try the scallop appetizer! Delicious! read more

Very attractive place with diverse menu and great service. A little pricey and the food is good but not great. One comment is that the presentation could use a little step up. Not that it matters but the food presentation is very bland in contrast to the rest of the place which is really quite nice. read more

Had salmon , a wonderful potato side , beet salad and cheese cake. Quality tasting food that was interesting but not some absurd combination of ingredients concocted in a frantic attempt to be hip , as is being done elsewhere . A very nice Cabernet by the glass . Enough chatter , noise , lighting and vibe to make you feel like you aren't eating in your home or a church basement . Good place. Recommend it read more
