    Chocolate Budino, Honey & Cream Cake, Lime Leaf Pavolva
    Emily C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Honey and Cream Cake
    Alicia M.

    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!

    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.

    STEAMED WALLEYE* crawfish étoufée, dirty carolina gold rice, crispy okra, spring onion
    Andre H.

    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.

    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.

    Scallop Crudo - Summer 2025
    Linda Y.

    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!

    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.

    Sourdough bread and butter
    Nicole H.

    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!

    If you brought kids here, how was it? Do they have high-chairs? Did you just have them eat off your plate (thinking a 3 year old)?

    Is it ok to bring kids here?

    Yes

    Is anyone looking for reservations on 12/20, 12/21, 12/22, or 12/23?

    Yes, 12/22 please, at 5:30 pm if possible for 2.

    Dress code? Is a jacket recommend?

    I disagree that jeans are inappropriate. A jacket is not required. The place is updated casual and I have seen people dining there in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt and jeans. If you can afford to eat there, then dress in a way that makes you feel… Read more

Located inside the Foshay Tower, there's street and valet parking available! We entered through the W hotel lobby and took the elevator up to the 27th floor! We were met by a fun, retro-inspired lounge with many couches and tables available in a 360-degree set up. It has Prohibition-themed decor, but I wouldn't quite call it a speakeasy, as there wasn't any guise to entering or accessing the space. My only critique is that the space is quite dated, but not in a cool way. It could really use an update to the paint and interior to maintain itself as a "destination" versus just another hotel bar with a view. The bartenders were quite friendly and helpful during our visit. We had an Old Fashioned and a Paper Plane during our visit! Both cocktails were absolutely delicious and perfectly made. Now, at around $26 each, I would expect that level. Overall, a cool, historical spot to grab a drink!

    I come to MSP often for work, and it's always a challenge to find a decent, healthy meal late in…read morethe evening downtown. Fortunately, the Earth Bowl at Star fits the bill and will probably be a go-to on future trips. It's a nicely seasoned, balanced, and clean-tasting assortment of greens, other vegetables, grains, and optional protein (shrimp was a good choice). And the generous pour of cab sauv complemented it well. Food aside, the space is very inviting and calming (and geometrically interesting, being circular in design), perfect for catching up on some reading during my meal. Service was also pleasant. The only thing is that there wasn't much else on the menu that appealed to me personally, so I'm hoping the bowl isn't something temporary or seasonal. In any case, I look forward to my next visit.

Lots of accoutrements, super tasty. The sidecar was great and so was the Benedictine Manhattan cocktail. Strong but well balanced. We were greeted with a warm and thoughtful welcome, esp considering what's happening in our city rn. Staff were friendly and service was prompt. Nice, upscale ambiance and decor. It makes for a great after work happy hour downtown or a great spot for a more formal date night. Located inside the Indigo hotel. Plenty of on street metered parking on surrounding blocks.

    Went on Thursday night at 12. Not super a lot of people there. The dance floor was pretty empty…read more Seemed like most people were out on the patio. There were a bunch of different rooms, which all had different music playing. Didn't explore that much. Mostly just out on the patio and on the dance floor, but I saw pool and other bar games. There was also a photo booth, which we used. Overpriced, but I guess you have to expect that from photo booths. Drinks were so cheap ($4)! And good dance music from the DJ. Biggest complaint is that there is only one stall in the bathroom (the rest are urinals). So it was always busy because obviously there are a lot of people who are trying to use the stall. Had to plan your pees.

    Had my first experience at The Saloon for Twin Cities Leather Weekend early November!…read more The thing that struck me most is the impressive square footage of the place. It essentially has four-ish connected but separate "chambers." You come in on the corner into the first one which has a typical bar set-up with lots of bar stools to sit at. Further back there's more table-and-chair style seating because it's nearby their kitchen where they serve hot food; there's also a pool table and darts throwing in this section. Deeper in there's a couple more bars in smaller segmented dual rooms, which is nearby the main restroom (there are several, at least three restroom locations inside). Quite a lot of urinals in this establishment, but a lack of stalls to sit and do your business, which was a little frustrating for someone like me whose equipment requires sitting to pee. No gender segregation though, which I'd expect in this day and age of a queer bar, but still nice to see. The final room is by far the largest, as it has a bar but also a large open area like a dance hall and stage. For this particular weekend it was utilized for hosting the contest, but also a puppy mosh (iykyk). Even as big as it was, it was PACKED during the contest portion of the weekend, making it difficult to see or hear the contest. (I think they could use a more up to date sound system.) We got food while we were there, and it was great. I got a BLT for just $9 and it was piled high with bacon- they did not skimp. Eating it all was a challenge for li'l ol' me. Meals come with ruffled chips that are very salty, but you can upgrade to other side options like french fries, onion rings (which my husband did), etc. for $2. The food was honestly affordable, especially for the amount they give you; I think they do this to discourage you from leaving the bar to go somewhere else for food, which is a solid strategy, haha. Parking around here is... tough, as you might expect in downtown. There is a nearby garage though just across the street behind the bar that I think is just $5 for evenings? I'm sure I'll be back for future events. I myself am not a casual bar-goer, so I don't really go out to these types of establishments unless they're hosting something fun. Always nice when a place is a community gathering space in addition to their regular business. I appreciate this place exists and serves the queer/kink community in that way.
