Was in town for work and came across this restaurant. We talked in Saturday for dinner and sat at the bar as they had an hour long wait for walk ins. We had a great time at Spoon and Stable and the bartenders were super friendly and gave us great recs! We enjoyed everything we ordered. Highly recommend this place :) Will come back when I am in Minneapolis!! read more

How on earth is this place still open. The food here is overcooked, tastes like spoiled food, & terrible service all around. Especially their desserts tastes really old. Everytime I've tried something here, I get a stomach ache for couple days, especially their old tasting desserts. 1st time stomach I thought it was just a fluke. Third try & 3 stomach aches later from the same place here & you're out of my books lol. Never again, No clue how this place has any business. I'm so glad more places have opened up in NL. Especially the Bellecour restaurant, the desserts there are 1000x better than the days tasting old crap that is served here at SnS. The interior is gorgeous, however, the entire establishment is a 0/10. I would not recommend this place to anyone. What an embarrassment this place is serving bad food to patrons. I recommend spending money at Porzana, Bar La Grassa, Bellecour... anywhere but here. This place is a joke for food. So embarrassing! read more

Spoon and Stable - Chewy over cooked pork belly bacon (seemed reheated) - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

A little too proud of itself faux-lux restaurant in North Loop Minneapolis. Supposedly a James beard winner, this place has all the pretentiousness of a nice restaurant without the quality. Had the crudo which was probably the best thing we ate. Orecchiette was thick and tough. Had the steak which came way overcooked and had to be refired. Sampled the pork chop and it was tough. Overall we enjoyed it but for $500 they should do better. read more

Spoon and Stable - Steak - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Not to be dramatic but this is one of the best places to eat in the Twin Cities and I will be dreaming of this menu for days, weeks, and probably months to come. Do not dine here if you're into mainstream dishes and lack of seasoning but DO dine here if you like flavor bombs and culinary mastery. Wish I took more photos but will highlight my favorites....starters: beef tartare, pasta: carmelle, main course as pictured: halibut, sides: spinach cheese curds (WOW) and dessert as pictured: chocolate budino. Impeccable service and attention to detail, and an equally delighting atmosphere to round out a perfect dinner. read more

Outstanding!!! The bar menu is a perfect, no reservations needed in this seating area. Some apps I would highly recommend are the Black Truffle Arancini and the Beef and Pork Meatballs. The Talladega Burger was an excellent choice as well. The Cocktails: If you enjoy spirit forward drinks, go with the Oaxacan (a blend of Mezcal and bourbon), and not in the menu an excellent choice is the Huntsman. Celebrations: A nice little offering of Spoon and Stable, if you're celebrating anything, and I mean anything, you'll get a free homemade cotton candy. read more

I came here for a nice dinner with my parents on a Sunday night. I made reservations online a couple days prior but the only available times were 8pm and after. You can make reservation for either the Chef's counter or the main dining room. I had the following: * (8/10) Oysters - Tasted very fresh, one out of the three was way bigger though. Presentation was nice with the horseradish topping and bottles of sauces like red wine vinegar. * (6/10) Venison Terrine - interesting dish but sorta hard to eat. The bread was not cut through and was really tough to pull apart. * (9/10) Capelletti - fantastic! I got the full portion and I loved the filling. The pasta is cooked al dente(?) not super soft, which isn't normally my favorite but it was a very unique taste with the brown butter * (6/10) Mini Beignets, didn't really feel like beignets more like mini donut holes. Also the dried apple slices and pretzel things were very hard. My parent both really liked the entrees, the Atlantic Cod and the Spotted Bass. My dad REALLY liked the bass, and wouldn't stop raving about it. My mom got the Toffee Butter Cake but said it was too sweet for her tastes. My dad also got a coffee, which they refilled for free. The interior was dim but really nice with the open kitchen and floor to ceiling windows cellar. Service was a bit slow to start but in general was very attentive. They were very detail oriented with switching out plates between courses, etc. Their bathroom was sooo nice. They also have paid valet parking. My family just parked on the street over. Seems like they change their dishes around and if I wanted to do another nice dinner, I would definitely go again! In total I spent around $245 for 3 people including tax and tip. read more

We read about this place and couldn't get reservations, but someone said to go early and get bar seating. We came on a Friday evening and only waited like less than 5 minutes for a bar seating. We scored! I started off with a whiskey sour and man, it's one of the best whisky sours I've had, the foam was amazing, and it was the right balance of sweet and sour. Love it. I wish they added a luxardo maraschino cherry tho. For food- I got the bison tartare and my friend got the hamachi crudo. Both were excellent. My bison tartare was the best I've tried. It's really good. The only thing I didn't like was the socca. They had bread service so I just used that bread instead. Their bread was delicious too. Couldn't get enough. For my entree I got the spaghetti Nero. It's a fra diavolo with octopus, mussels, and prawns. A half portion was good enough. I was so full after this dinner. Everything was excellent! They came with some compliment dessert bites at the end. Totally recommend this restaurant! I'll come back whenever I get the chance to come back to Minneapolis. read more

We visited Spoon and Stable for their New Year's Eve tasting menu. This is my 3rd Gavin Kaysen restaurant and as always - he doesn't disappoint. Some of the food we had was the best thing I have ever had - fois gras, pasta, all of it was very good! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating! The atmosphere itself is swanky and hip! I felt very sophisticated. The only downside, and I should have expected this from a tasting menu, I left hungry. Some times I feel you shouldn't leave hungry when paying that much for a meal.... Other than that everything was great! I need to go back and try ordering from the actual menu vs. going there for a tasting menu. read more

We visited on a Sunday morning and were so glad we reserved a table online a few days ahead. By noon it was packed with a long line out the door. Parking can be a little tricky since it's street parking and paid, but it wasn't too hard to find a spot if you don't mind walking a couple of blocks. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the drinks to the brunch dishes. I highly recommend trying the croissant. It's huge, perfect for sharing, and absolutely yum! The steak was cooked beautifully and definitely a good deal for the price. I also loved sitting by the open kitchen and watching the chefs at work. It added a fun energy to the experience. The service was warm and welcoming, while still giving us space. Everyone we interacted with was professional, stylish, and friendly. read more

Spoon and Stable always hits. My favorite dish is the Honey and Cream Cake. The crunch of the meringue is such a treat paired with the fluffy cake and cream. The Strawberry Cornmeal Tart with lemongrass ice cream was delightful too. Each cookie layer was perfectly baked. The strawberry and lemongrass flavors were very subtle. When we got the check they brought out additional lil sweets which was a nice touch. The host and staff at Spoon and Stable are consistently friendly and nice! The bar is gorgeous and the bar seats are comfortable. The bar stools near the front of the restaurant are a little tight and would be better for a lil dessert or apps and drinks. The dining room is comfortable but reservations do book out so plan ahead! read more

Will return for food, ambience, and service. We've - Black truffle arancini - Duck - Halibut All are very good with a wide range of flavors; slightly on the salty side, which I love, except duck. They apply the sweet, tangy sauce on the skin. In Hong Kong, a savory sauce is on the side, which I have never used. In Beijing and China, for that matter, ducks are consumed without it. No need to balance out the gamy taste. Oh, right, this is USA -:) The sourdough bread shaped like a football is warm, chewy, and yummy. However, they blend butter with cream (?) that deludes the butter. Two red wines are delicious. They give a hearty pour for testing. The Rona stems are nice and cubby. I didn't order another one, k it because we're heading to the Twins' game (what a loser am I! They're the second-last team and are playing the last-place team--Chicago White Sox. The stadium is practically empty.) We arrived at 4:40. They only offer bar food until 5 pm for the full menu. Employees outnumber customers. I asked if I could video the kitchen, and they said yes. It looks busy but harmonic. WNK knife. The napkins' design is elegant, but I think they're artificial. If anything could be changed, I'd like them to remove the fake flower above the bar and serve us real butter. Oh the sweets they offered before the bill are great, especially the short cake (?) and macaron which is delicate and fluffy, not overly sweet: it's the best macaron I've thus far. Thank you! read more

My group came here for dessert and drinks. A lovely experience. We were able to walk in and get seats at the bar without waiting (it was earlier in the evening). The alcohol selection is vast. I ordered an espresso martini and it was perfect! I love the open space concept because it is visually stunning. However, I think they could decorate a bit more to break up the noise. read more

I've been looking forward to eating here for the longest time. The appetizers we ordered were good. Especially the wedge salad. I ordered the STEAMED WALLEYE with crawfish étoufée, dirty carolina gold rice, crispy okra, spring onion. I'm sad to report that I did not enjoy my meal. The fish was bland and the étouffée was just ok. The creamy spinach was delicious. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong item so I'm looking forward to my next visit here. read more

Sunday night was a bitterly cold and snowy night in Minneapolis and our visit here made it so worthwhile to make the jaunt into the elements! The 4 of us came in for my sons birthday as this was a place he had requested for our annual event to celebrate him for his 26th Bday. Our server Mark was amazing, he was professional yet personable, he was funny and and knowledgable of the food and the drink. I am personally not a foodie, my son and my girlfriend are adventurous eaters and took full advantage of the S&S menu. My sons stated goal that night was to eat as many different rypes of seafood as possible, and he was ecstatic. My sons girlfriend was super pleased with the GF options! The NA Drink menu was excellent! The Bison TarTare, the Oysters, and the Red Oak Salad started us off wonderfully! The Spotted Bass, Spaghetti Nero, the Cappeletti, Creamy Spinach and Broccolini were fantastic. And they even indugled the food Heathen that I am by allowing me to get the Burger off the bar menu. The finishing touches of dessets and the Bday Cotton Candy for my son was awesome. Once again it was Mark and the rest of the staff that really made the night. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in the city - you can really tell that they are dedicated to the work that they put in their dishes and value quality. The staff were great and our server Allison was so kind and helpful. We started with the Scallop Crudo which had a strong flavor profile of pineapple. It was almost like eating your crudo with a tropical-forward cocktail. It's definitely unlike anything I've tried before, but with the citrus flavors from the kumquat, it was delightful. The Bison Tartare was also very good and the flat chickpea/hummus chip paired so well. It was a whirlwind of flavors that almost leaned towards Mexican flavors. Highly recommend this one. Their heritage grain pastas all sounded so good but we decided to go with the Pappardelle that featured duck chorizo. Everything about this dish was SO good. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the savory sauce was full of flavor. There are two prices on the menu that reflect the size of the dish. The small portion was easily sharable between my partner and I, considering that we got 2 starters, the porkchop and a side of snap peas. I would recommend the large if that will be all that you're having. Our server noted that their Spaghetti Nero is typically always on the menu - this was another pasta we contemplated on getting. We also got the Pork Chop which was incredible - cooked perfectly well and the tamarind glaze was heavenly! We paired it with the Snap Peas which was a great combo. You got the grill taste from the Pork Chop and a nice smokey flavor from the Snap Peas. For dessert, we went with the Vanilla Sweet Pea Creme Brulee which was delightful. It almost reminds me of a subtle pandan-like flavor which I really enjoyed. Overall, always a solid spot for a special dinner! read more

I was super stoked that I got to come here for my birthday. It is truly a joy to enjoy a meal in this gorgeous space. With reliably excellent service (thanks, Elly O!) and creative and delicious options, I know I am in for a treat whatever the season. We arrived a bit early and hung out in the bar before we were seated. I was stoked to see some new options on the mocktail menu and decided to go with the Groundspeed, which was ultra refreshing and not too sweet. It was a lovely exclamation point at the start of the evening. The menu was (as usual) filled with delicious options, and none of us could resist the spring vegetable salad, which was a lovely composed salad featuring tender and colorful vegetables, a bright vinaigrette, and creamy Brie. Blissful and beautiful. For my main, I ordered the vegetarian version of the lamb duo. This is one really cool feature of eating at the Spoon and Stable--there are always vegetarian versions of at least a couple of the entrees. I really dig this flexitarian approach to food--you'll get a really nice-looking plate that is really similar to the non-vegetarian main. The only difference is that the anchor is a vegetable instead of a piece of meat. In this case, it was a cauliflower steak. (I swear, every time I have cauliflower here or at demi, I think it's the best cauliflower I have had in my life.) In this case, it came with green almond romesco, baby carrots, fresh garbanzo beans (treat!), and a blissful sauce that was made of, I think, tamarind and joy. We also had the creamed spinach, which should not be missed. Topped with fried cheese curds, this is a creative and oh-so-Midwestern take of one of everyone's favorite bits of comfort food nostalgia. Finally, it was time for dessert, which was delicious. I just had to try the spring dessert, a vanilla sweet pea crème brûlée, which is just the prettiest dessert I ever did see. (Really--look at the pictures of it!) It was one of the most fun-to-eat desserts I've ever had. The sweet and creamy crème brûlée, topped with a crispy bit of cookie lace, was sweet and mild. The rhubarb was bright (as were the little minty pearls). The sorbet was bright and refreshing. The almonds were salty and crunchy. All in all, it was a delightful exclamation point at the end of the meal. I was also absolutely tickled to get a little birthday treat--a cloud of cotton candy and other some vanilla ice cream. It was really nice and felt like another hug. I love the blend of modern and nostalgic, the creative and comfort, and familiar and exotic that I get when I dine here. It's always fun, and I always do a happy shimmy or two during the evening. read more

This is the 3rd or 4th time coming here and there is no moment in time where I questioned the flavors at this place. The service and ambiance are well balanced, which show a finesse for detail and care. As simple as possible, you have to eat and drink here. If you don't then you probably miss out on some of the best food in the Midwest, if not Central US. Don't pass this place up. Minneapolis is packed with great food but this is a staple to say the least. read more

This was the perfect dinner down to the immediate hospitality when we walked in, to the complementary drink for my boyfriend, to the open kitchen view. I cannot remember all of the names of the dishes and I think they change the menu all the time but I'm sure you cannot go wrong with anything. Pasta was so creamy and rich, the butter and bread was on another level and our entrees we both loved. Amazing spot, you've got to try it! read more

We snagged reservations on a weeknight here in the dining area. There's also the chef counter, which is bar-style seating right in front of the open kitchen. Here, you can watch them cook. (I think this is a really cool option). I've heard reservations can be challenging to get but the weekday wasn't an issue. We were seated on a small two person table that was less than a foot away from the other tables on both sides of us. I felt a huge disappointment when I saw these seating arrangements. When you go to a supposedly high-end place like this, you don't picture it to be this close of quarters. It's awkward and I can hear the strangers conversation next to me. If you're going with a group of two just sit at the bar or chefs counter. The ambiance was also so lame and boring! All grey and white walls with dim lighting. Where's the creativeness or uniqueness? On to the food: We started with the venison terrine. It was a fresh, cold, meat spread that would be great for charcuterie. It was served with some small baguettes. Then we proceeded with a small portion of the ricotta gnudi. The pastas come in small or regular portions. The small portion came with four gnudi dumplings. This was a lovely buttery, cheesy but simple snack. Next came the entrees: roasted sturgeon and pheasant breast. The pheasant breast was cooked perfectly but lacked flavor in my opinion. I didn't understand the sausage ball that came with it. I wanted more apple and mushroom flavors with the meat but I just didn't get any of that. I tried my partners sturgeon and it was meh. I got a lot of mushroom flavor that was an odd pairing with a fish. The best part of the meal was the dessert. The chocolate budino was delicious! But also, how can you not like dessert? Everything was plated beautifully but I wasn't very impressed with the flavors. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back here. The prices are high for tiny portions that really didn't give me any wow factor. Maybe I'm missing something? Service was just fine but it was hard to hear her. It is street parking, so it can be challenging but they do offer valet. read more

Great service and all the food we tried was VERY good. I don't like that they use grapeseed oil however. Using good ingredients doesn't matter if you're slathering them with inflammatory oils. The bison tartare was incredible but a very small portion. Beautiful ambiance and we appreciated the anniversary treat. Plenty of open tables considering it's impossible to get reservations and they did not appear short staffed. read more

This was an amazing experience from beginning to end. We ordered oysters to start. The presentation was beautiful. Then had the curry soup, it was phenomenal. It had crab, pumpkin, micro greens - it was perfection! Then we ordered the yellowtail Crudo. The perfect little bite and tasted awesome! I had the cod dish. It had some buttered crab on top and a citrus sauce. It was good. My husband ordered the pork chop it was amazing, but the portion was big. We couldn't finish it. And the layered chocolate dessert (chocolate pudding, caramel toffee layer, crème fresh). Overall it was an amazing experience. The service is all that you would hope for in a place like that! 10 out of 10!! read more

Popped in for some quick pre dinner cocktails at the bar on a Friday night at my favorite spot in the cities. We were able to order from the bar while standing at a high top waiting for a bar spot to open (which took about 10 minutes). The service was quick and we got our drinks right as a bar spot opened up. Going here and not eating was painful given my absolute love for everything on the menu. We ordered the French 75 and old fashioned and my husband to this day says it's his favorite old fashioned.

Spoon and Stable's bar is a wonderful spot to dine and imbibe, especially on a Sunday night. With a bar menu accompanying the regular menu, you have an array of choices to choose from. That includes amazing sliders, fabulous pasta, and all the other morsels from one of Minnesota's finest kitchens. Stephanie was our bartender/server, and she was infinitely patient with my tipsy ramblings. The room is stylish, the clientele eclectic, nad the food sublime. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Trust me. Spoon and Stable is the quintissential five-star experience. read more

We have been here many times. Several dinners in the dining room and a few times in the bar area. Food is consistently delicious. We've had several entrees, apps, and all are good here! Service is always friendly, prompt, and easygoing. The ambience is what really earns those points! It's a gorgeous indoor space. High ceilings, modern, vibey. Not too loud. Great for dates and small groups. Bar area is chill and drinks are made really well. Always a favorite. read more

We got the pressed rabbit terrine, grilled carrots, mediterranean bream, dry aged duck breast, and honey and cream cake. The pressed rabbit terrine and grilled carrots were both ok (3/5) but quite expensive for how much food they were. The bream and duck were both great (4.5/5) and so was the honey and cream cake (4.5/5), although they also were relatively small portions. The entrees were definitely the best value but still a little pricey. The service was phenomenal (5/5)! Our waitress was super knowledgeable about the menu and clearly answered questions about various dishes. The staff were very attentive; whenever I'd take a sip of water, someone would come refill it. When I went to the bathroom, someone came by and folded up my napkin and put it on the table. The service justifies the premium prices. The interior of the restaurant is well decorated. It is pretty dark inside but is definitely a good date/special occasion spot. Overall, it was a good but expensive experience. I am excited to go again and try some of their seasonal items such as the pheasant, but I will definitely pass on appetizers next time and likely snack a bit before coming. read more

Really cool restaurant downtown by Top Chef alum Gavin Kaysen. Started with prosciutto with buffala mozzarella and it was good, but not anything too special IMO. The strip steak was perfectly cooked and had really great beefy flavor. It appears to have been sous vided first and then sliced and you get 2 pieces per order with a nice sauce and foam. The creamed spinach with cheese curds was fantastic, both the spinach, but especially the cheese curds! The chocolate budino was fantastic. Super rich and decadent, you'll struggle to finish it. A really great light whipped cream covering some toffee bits with the pudding underneath. Really lovely. Service was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful restaurant and clearly very popular by the crowd that was there at 9PM on a Monday night. read more

Charming Spot for a Special Night Out Great ambiance--perfect for a date night or celebrating a special occasion. The service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing.

Took several years for me to finally try the venerable Spoon & Stable. They don't offer multi-course fixed menu anymore so we literally tried 75% of the menu. Beautiful modern "farmhouse" style interior with lofty ceilings with natural lighting. However, it was kinda hot and muggy (sitting too close to the open kitchen wood fire grill?). Overall the presentation and service for the experience was great BUT no single dish stood out for me. The flavors were subtle. If I had to choose my favorite it would be the strip steak very tender. Desserts were meh. read more

The atmosphere is elegant and upscale, creating a lovely dining experience, though the seating arrangement is quite tight, with small tables placed close together. Service started off a bit rocky--our waiter didn't check in until we were halfway through our meal. However, he became much more attentive afterward, promptly addressing our requests, which was appreciated. This initial lack of attention is the main reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. The food was excellent across the board, with beautifully prepared dishes that tasted as good as they looked. Do note that the portions are on the smaller side, so ordering a side dish along with your main entrée is a good idea. The complimentary treats at the end were a delightful touch that added to the experience. read more
