I split the vodka…read moresauce pasta and lemon pesto burrata pasta with a friend and they were kind enough to pre-portion the vodka sauce on separate plates for us which felt like above and beyond service. They weren't able to do that with the burrata pasta due to the burrata ball on top which was completely fine! Both pasta dishes were tasty but the lemon pesto burrata blew me away. Every bite was absolutely incredible and it's such a unique dish that's hard to find somewhere else or replicate at home. I completely recommend giving it a try. The focaccia bread appetizer was also amazing! We added & paid for a few extra pieces to accommodate the size of our group and everyone absolutely loved it. The drinks were also really well done & strong without being overly stiff. They were really well mixed and tasty. Our server was so sweet and helped make the experience so special for us. I cannot wait to come back!

Service was very friendly! There were several vegetarian options and gluten-free options. They label their menu clearly! We ordered mocktails (blood orange fizz and citrus spritz). They were both refreshing with the fruity flavor coming through. The nonalcoholic rosé flavor was also noticeable in the citrus spritz! The penne alla vodka was good and I would get it again! It was fairly creamy and cheesy with a very very slight kick (my preference is for spicier, so I added some red pepper flakes). I ordered it with burrata, and you can't really go wrong with burrata, but I've had creamier ones! The margherita pizza was very sauce heavy, which was different than what we imagined. We would've liked to see more mozzarella. It wasn't bad but it was probably wouldn't get it again! Overall, I would come back for the ambiance and pasta!

Dined here with a couple of colleagues and ordered a variety of appetizers and mains. Standouts for me were the dahi vada and chicken tikka, thought the latter was a bit unusual in that it was a little saucier that I'm used to and came with random bits of vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc). A couple things I wouldn't reorder were the lamb rogan josh, which was too creamy for my taste, and the makki ki roti, which was smeared with a little too much ghee. The menu is extensive, and I'd be happy to return to try some of the other items.

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

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!
