Irish spice bag
Chompa V.

We went at opening on sunday and were seated right away. The service was great, the server was attentive and came to check on us often. The drinks were interesting and very well crafted. My favorites were the Gairan gear - a lavender/Ube flavored drink and the Glogi highball - hibiscus and sangria flavorings. For food we ordered the Irish space bag which had fries, curds, tenders, and other bits. The curry sauce was good but overall the fries needed more salt. Another good dish was the bourbon smoked brie. The peaches were caramelized and the cheese was so smoky, would definitely recommend trying.

Another amazing night here at O'Shaughnessy. This place is an awesome hang, I did find my new favorite drink here called Forthright. Kind of like an old fashioned but wayyyyy better, the coffee liqueur smooths out the drink making it a nice sipper. Our waiter Alayna, was outstanding in her service!!

Ambiance: The interiors are gorgeous! The distillery was beautiful. Service: Friendly service. Food: We ordered a handful of appetizers to share amongst the 4 of us. Our favorite was the Irish spice bag. It was so good and very unique! Hadn't seen anything like it here in the states. The scotch egg, and Brussels sprouts were good, too!

Having seen videos online of Irish Spice Bags for so many years, I knew I had to go out to O'Shaughnessy to try it. A new menu addition, they have been advertising it heavily on their social media which was a great move because it worked on me. I hadn't been here in many years but this was enough to rope me in. We came with a big group of 8 on a Friday night at around 8 pm and were able to grab a nice fire pit in their outdoor area. The other guests were kind enough to let us borrow some chairs from their pits to accommodate our large group. Despite sitting outside, a waiter came over and offered us menus and to take our orders which was fantastic. All the staff were super kind and friendly. I know I should've gotten a drink, but whisky isn't my favorite so the only thing I ordered was the spice bag. It was rich, heavy, fried, and came with a big cup of curry. It was the perfect late night drunk meal to satisfy those cravings. It is by no means healthy, and I probably wouldn't get it again, but it was a really fun experience and very tasty.

We made a reservation for 5:15 pm on a Friday. Their reservation system is very easy to navigate and I would encourage a reservation if you can make one ahead of time. The parking lot was half full, but overall easy to park on a night where the restaurant wasn't crazy busy. I could see the parking lot getting full and being a challenge to find a place to park with the neighborhood it's located in during busy times. Drinks: 5/5. I really think the drinks are the star of the show here. Some are on the pricey side (outside of happy hour expect $15-30), but in my opinion worth every penny. We tried 2 of the old fashions and a flight. The flights are micro pours, so don't expect more than a taste of each. Food: Ranges from 2/5 to 5/5. The fries and salad were 5/5. Flavors on point and would go back again for those. The lobster roll and the short ribs were 2/5. The lobster roll tasted like frozen lobster and lacked seasoning and overall flavor was very fishy. A bit disappointing at a $30 price point. The short ribs and mashed potatoes also lacked overall seasoning. Service: 4/5. Originally it took awhile for us to get our drinks, but service beyond that was seamless. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Ambiance: 5/5. This place is absolutely beautiful. A great place just to grab a drink or hangout. Definitely a cozy ambiance inside.

What a cute spot! The decor is really nice. Service was ok. The specialty drinks were really good. I really enjoyed the PAYANELO and Forthright; very nice. It's really close to other restaurants and bars! Nice spot for gatherings

Wild rice burger and fries. Scotch egg.
Ruby W.

I love O'Shaughnessy's. I'm not a huge whiskey person in general, but easy to get behind whiskey that has so much heart and thought put into it. I've been coming to O'Shaughnessy's for a few years, but recently went on a tour of the distillery and have so much more appreciation of whiskey in general and especially O'Shaughnessy whiskey. So impressed with the tour guides for having so much information memorized. I know I forgot more than half of the info by the time the tour was done. Still, so interesting to learn more about the process and how much work goes into each bottle. I love that O'Shaughnessy's is mixing Irish + American distilling processes. Very cool to learn about both, and how O'Shaughnessy's was combining the two. The drinks are so amazing and there's so much variety. My favorite right now is the Payanelo. Their punch is also always a favorite of mine. I also like their slushy drinks on super hot days. I haven't eaten here too much because of the prices, but have enjoyed the times that I have. The fries are to die for. They are so well seasoned and always crispy. Had the wild rice burger last time I went. Wanted more wild rice as I don't think I tasted it at all, but it was still very good. All the toppings worked so well together. The margarita flatbread was good, but nothing to write home about. The ambiance is nice. Very upscale lounge vibes. It can be hard to hear (especially when you're with people who have a harder time hearing). The seating options don't help with that. The tables are wide and most of the seating is around couches, so you aren't very close to the rest of your party. If you are worried about sound, I would recommend the little alcove to the left of the front doors or sitting outside. Service has always been great. Hosts, bartenders, and servers have all been stellar. However, one of the servers, Ellie, is really standout. She always gives the best service and recommendations. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Very fun place to visit. You definitely have to budget for it because prices are high, but makes going there more of a specialty event.

Fun unique cocktails and good appetizers. We also liked the service and felt like it was a great environment for groups.

When I walked into this place. I thought "wow! This space is beautiful. " they have really cute sitting areas with nice comfy chairs and big booths for larger groups. It was just my husband and I so we grabbed a spot at the bar. and I'm happy we did. The mixologist at this spot were so friendly and it was very interesting to watch them whip up the cocktails. They mainly do whiskey drinks and I ordered the beorn old fashioned which was recommended to me by the man at the bar and it was fabulous.im not a big old fashioned girly but it was a the perfect mixture of whiskey and sweetness. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because our tab was $35 for 2 cocktails so it is on the more pricey side. But. All in all We are definitely planning on going back and bringing our whiskey loving friends.

On a trip to town my friends suggested we check this spot out. We met for an early dinner and I was super impressed with the vibes this newer distillery presented. The industrial vibes, and darker interior was complimented by the high tops and bar. The bar back was hidden behind doors which was a really cool way to keep a clean/crisp front to the entire bar. We each grabbed a cocktail and most of us got the lobster roll along with some fries...and it was FANTASTIC. It might actually have been better than the drink. Or I may have been really hungry. But I'd like to go back and find out which. Either way, I think I'd be very happy.

This is always such a nice place. Unfortunately for this visit it was quite nice enough to stay outside so we moved inside but staff was accommodating with our move. I love that you can get most of their cocktails as NA even though they are still quite pricey. I also got steak bites and fries. I've had the steak bites before but they must have changed them as these were quite salty, even for me as someone who loves salt. The fries are delicious and my friends were fans of the truffle aioli.

Beautiful interior; great drink options! Nice food selection; did not see GF items identified but also did not inquire re GF menu. Knowledgeable, friendly wait staff. Had to track down someone in the bar area to help us in the gift shop. Nice-sized parking lot.

I've been here a couple times. I just went over the past weekend again to check out the space in the eyes of a place to host a rehearsal dinner. Love the looks and the darker lighting the space has. We had a brand new server, who did a great job and made sure we were set. While we were there we grabbed some food! Beer bites, scotch egg, fries, and burger. All were so yummy and I would definitely go back for the burger again and the scotch egg. Yum!

Wow, this place was cool!…read more The entry is pretty hidden and parking requires a bit of work unless you do valet. We went on a Saturday night, so we had to wait a bit in order to be seated. However, it was worth the wait for us. There is a dark moody vibe and while my group went in for drinks, there are also options for food. 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.

Fortunately, I arrived at 5:30 PM on a Saturday, which was early enough to avoid a line and a velvet rope. I don't wait in line for anything unless I'm at a pharmacy, bakery, post office, or airport. Lines at restaurants and bars strike me as pretentious or bad management, and I don't tolerate either. However, I'm old, and at my age, nothing is worth waiting for unless it's a necessity. I found a seat at the beautiful and expansive bar and looked around at the Del Prado design. The colors might be different, but Flora was reminiscent of Minari and Noma. All three add to the Twin Cities' cachet. However, I was taken aback by the attire I saw around me. People were dressed in shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers. It's friggen Saturday night Minneapolis. Have some class! Flora Room was a lovely cocktail lounge, perfect for wooing, but don't expect to strike up a conversation with any of the bartenders. At these Del Prado joints, the staff must be trained not to engage. I'm out alone and enjoy talking. Bartenders used to be part of a lounge's attraction when I grew up in NYC. They learned your name, knew what you did, and gave you a hearty welcome. That, I guess, is not part of the culture in Minneapolis. Well, at least not at the Del Prado restaurants and bars. Chef Del Prado is from Argentina, and certainly, Argentina is one of the warmest and friendliest countries in the world, so I don't get it. I now live up the block from the Flora Room. I'm a neighbor and would like to be treated like one. Neighborly and the Flora Room are distant concepts.

It's a really cozy moody interior, with *no big lights* aka great low lighting and comfy seating options. When we went, there were just a few other parties there so pretty quiet. I liked that we had a whole corner to ourselves with a sectional couch of sorts and some chairs. They close at 10pm on a Friday night, which felt absurdly early for a cocktail bar. But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.

For beverages, they have cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer, THC drinks, milkshakes, pop, lemonade, and more! There are so many options which is great! The fries are crispy! One of my friends went with the ranch fries which were good, but in my opinion it was not worth the $2 upcharge for the amount of seasoning that comes on them. I would recommend sticking with the regular fries and ordering a side of ranch as a dipping sauce instead! This is the only place that I'm aware of where you can get a vegan juicy lucy! It is very cheesy, and it's fun that there's a meatless version of a MN classic! It was messy to eat though so make sure to have a napkin nearby! I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and would go back!

Great little local spot in Saint Paul…read more There's a lot to like about Estelle so I'll try to keep it to what stands out: 1. The menu is wonderful, and the food comforting. The peri peri chicken was surprisingly spicy. I like spicy foods and it was teetering on a bit too hot for me, but I enjoyed the flavors and the dishes as a whole that we sampled. 2. The cocktails are divine. I had two old fashioneds and they were amongst some of the best I've had. 3. The service is impeccable. Friendly, well paced, and professional. 4. The ambiance is really comfortable. I liked that we weren't rushed, and had a really well paced meal in a nice environment. Overall I'd love to return someday. If you go be sure to make a reservation!

Visited 7/15/26. Okay first the good parts- food was all great as per usual. A few of us came on…read morerestaurant week and got to choose a starter, a main, and a dessert based on this (only choice was to order off restaurant week menu which is very understandable). We were seated right away based on our reservation and our waitress was a gem for bearing the heat of the patio with us. I got the grilled asparagus, the piri piri chicken, and the ginger cake. Piri piri chicken has a bit of a kick to it but it pairs perfectly with the rice and I really enjoyed it. For me, the $55 three course meal was worth the value since I got a few of the pricier items, but for the other two members of my party, the prices were listed on the restaurant week menu and the items they chose when added up totaled as less than $55. They still were charged $55, which did feel a bit odd and we all agreed we would prefer just coming for a normal dinner instead of during restaurant week in the future. Better balance of food that way also. I didn't necessarily need all three full courses and would've been more content sharing apps and desserts. Regardless though-they never miss on the flavors at Estelle!
