They did their own spin on the viral burger with melty hot cheese. This burger DID NOT MISS!! As always the burger was so juicy and the shoestring potatoes gave it great texture and the dijon sauce gave a nice acidic touch to balance the richness of the wagyu beef. Paired it with their crispy tower onion rings and truffle aioli. We went on a Tuesday night which was half off a bottle so that was a win. Our server highly recommended the creme brulee and as a creme brulee snob it was one of the best I've had. Being downtown the restaurant was packed but the service stayed consistent. Our food came out hot and the server did a great job of checking in on us. We also stayed past the time they closed talking and laughing and we never felt rushed to hurry up and leave.

Great food, Friendly staff…read more Waygu burger Tender loose juicy patty. There was some almost pulled pork like stuff on it. I think it's from the bacon jam? but it was like pulled pork. I could do with out that part, it was tender though. Truffle Fries Crispy outside, much like McD, but no limpness after 20 mins, truffle flavor was still there after 2 hours. Didn't even need the sauce. Staff were welcoming and friendly.

While staying at the Royal Sonesta hotel for a conference, I dined at the Wood + Paddle Eatery two…read moretimes during my stay. Wood + Paddle is located inside of the Royal, it's their hotel restaurant. On my first night in Minneapolis, I'd arrived to the hotel for check-in around dinner time. Not sure where to go and tired from the flight, I headed down to the lobby and walked over. When I asked if I could get a table for 1, she asked me if I would be comfortable with eating at the bar. It was a Sunday night, so I think she wanted to reserve tables for parties of two or more. I was fine with it, but I noticed there were quite a few empty tables. A few days later, I had lunch with a colleague here. We got seated at a table, and the service was really good. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we kept our lunch within our time requirements so we could get back to the conference without issue. The food was really good. I tried to order or sample local or MN specialties during my trip. Below are the menu items that I tried: - Bison Burger with Fries - State Fair Cheese Curds (w/ house made, smoked ketchup) - Pork Chop (w/ a Norwegian inspired sauce) - Habanero Wings

Food came out fairly quick after ordering, but it wasn't too busy during 5:30-6pm on a weekday…read more You can customize the fries and how well the patty is done. Bison burger patty had a charred taste. The garlic dry rub wings have a good salt and dryness to them. The flourless chocolate torte is a satisfying dessert. Rich, creamy, tangy, and indulgent. I feel like they are missing out on a happy hour menu.

Our server did an excellent job recommending a moderately priced (for a restaurant) bottle of wine, and walking us through the menu, and was attentive throughout. The 10 oz filet and the scallops were top notch befitting their top notch price. Perfect place for a birthday.

Everyting on the menu is explained and recommendations are given easily. Food...fantastic. I'm not a huge steak person, so I got the short rib ragu. It was so rich and decadent. Drinks were also delicious. The one downfall is sides are are a la carte, none come with your meal. But the sides are delicious. I especially loved the elote corn. I was way too full for dessert, but the dessert menu looked promising. If you're looking for a "wow" experience, check out Stock & Bond.

Cute location, great food and fantastic service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.read more

This place was amazing!…read more The dishes are really well thought out and prepared exquisitely. The flavors in each dish were well blended and supremely balanced. We tried the mixed salad, the beet salad, A Pork Chop, the Swordfish, French Fries and roasted vegetables. Service was excellent and the setting reminded me of an eatery you might find in Paris. Highly recommend!!

Love the vibes here. Super romantic and sultry with how dark it is. Perfect for date night…read more It is loud and you are sat real close to other tables but it was still a great time. My friends and I did the girl dinner here and it was so good! We all thought it was the perfect amount of food, we loved that it's a set menu so we didn't have to make any decisions! Pasta, salad, fries and a drink for $20?! In Minneapolis! Great deal! Love that they have sparkling water as an option for no extra charge. We celebrated a birthday here too that night and appreciated the candle from the server. I really hate going to Minneapolis and paying for parking but it was worth it for this night! We just found some street metered parking. Such a fun time! Check it out if you are in the area.

GIRL DINNER IS A 10/10!!!!!…read more $20 for a drink, fries, a salad, and some pasta?? YES PLEASE! Honestly I'd come here every day if I could. I hope they never stop girl dinner. We ended up ordering a couple more drinks and a dessert becuase the vibes were perfect and the deal was so good. Only available after 8 pm!! Service is always great here and the vibes are always perfect. I'm a big Red Rabbit fan!!!

Another one! Giulia with the ladies was a good time…read more I just know we had our server stressed with all the allergies, substitutions, and picky eaters at the table but he handled it well. As for the food? It was good. Every dish was packed with flavor. Had us reaching across the table asking, "Can I taste that?" We had oven fired focaccia, polenta croquettes, fig bruschetta, calamari, and Napoli pizza. Good food, good company, and lots of laughs. P.S. they had plants!

I ordered the chicken parm and it was pretty good. Thought the pasta that came with it was also nice. Got two local cold ones with my meal which complimented the chicken parm well.

​I absolutely love Hen House Eatery! Getting out for brunch is a real treat for my husband and me,…read moreand this is always such a fun outing for us. ​The vibes here are fantastic, but as a gluten-free person, what really makes my tummy happy is that they can make almost anything on their menu GF! For breakfast, I ordered two slices of their cinnamon French toast, served with two eggs and bacon. To drink, I treated myself to a delicious, beautifully layered tiramisu latte. ​Another thing I absolutely love is their grab-and-go bakery case. It is so rare and refreshing to see so many clearly labeled GF treats, like their Lemon Bars and Almond Cheesecake. We couldn't resist taking some goodies to go, so we went home with a lemon bar and one of their GF Fruity Pebbles bars. ​If you're looking for a delicious, incredibly gluten-free friendly brunch spot with a great atmosphere, you have to check this place out!

They also had a delicious iced banana bread latte on their special menu...the banana bread cold fold was so, so good. The second time I stopped in, I was with a coworker and they tried the avocado coffee...which was interested. It was similar to a smoothie consistency, but was definitely not my cup of tea. Overall, great service, quick meal and really delicious food.
