    Steak
    Bob K.

    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.

    Wonderful experience! First, the atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Lots of seating but not super crowded, nice dim lighting (but not too dark), and it was busy but it still didn't feel overly loud. The servers were all amazing, one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant here. Very prompt, friendly, and accommodating. I tried a variety of the food items and everything had a great depth of flavor. My favorite was probably the black truffle arancini, which is actually a bar item but you can still ask for it at a table. Definitely a more upscale place to go for a nice dinner date, but would recommend trying it out.

    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.

    Wow, what an experience! Mark made our anniversary very special. The staff was also very accommodating. We checked in and had some time so we ordered a drink and by the time it came out we received them at our seats. Mark then came by and went over the menu with us. Ultimately, decided on ordering the pea and asparagus salad, duck breast, and the honey cake for dessert. The salad was a great starter light and refreshing. Big fan of the egg on top to balance the acidity. Flavor bomb all around. The duck breast was the most tender cut I've ever had from a duck. Fiddle heads were a nice compliment too. The beans were spot on too absorbing that duck ju. Onto dessert, mark helped us decide on the honey ice cream cake. Ice cream was very smooth and the cake was light and moist. Mark even brought out another dessert that had cotton candy for our anniversary. Cotton candy made me feel like a kid again. Overall, Spoon and Stable is a MUST STOP if you're in Minny!

    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!!

    Outstanding meal! Interesting variety of dishes that were well executed. To start with, we had arancini and Bibb lettuce salad. Arancini were delightful- crisp exterior with creamy interior that was not too heavy. The salad was light and refreshing. The halibut with tom yum broth was delicious- the broth was flavorful and the halibut was perfectly cooked. The spaghetti Nero was incredible - the pasta was perfectly al dente and the seafood sauce was delectable. For dessert- we had the lime leaf pavlova- the mango paired perfectly with the ginger ice cream and coconut tapioca- always appreciate desserts that are just a bit different than the usual dessert options at restaurants. At the end, we were given some cookies- such a fun way to end the meal. Our server was excellent- she provided great recommendations. The space was modern and lovely. We didn't have a reservation was able to do a walk-in at the bar area which also had tables for 2.

    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 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.

    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.

The setting that made the experience always so special, before they move to their residency inside the Guthrie Theater under a new name. I cannot wait to see what they do next. Every dish truly hit it out of the park. From the Three Sisters salad with bison and squash to the fried quail and rich, earthy mushroom soup, each plate showcased Indigenous ingredients and traditions in a way that felt both thoughtful and exciting. This is not your typical dining experience and that's exactly what makes it so satisfying. Even the margarita was a standout: beautifully presented and just as delicious as it looked. I will definitely miss this riverfront location, but I am so excited for their next chapter.

The latte came garnished with rose petals and was not too sweet. It was a nice way to start my meal. Then came the sweet potatoes, and oh my God, I think they were the best sweet potatoes I've ever had. They were unbelievably, delectably sweet and cooked perfectly. They had an excellent char while being soft on the inside. And the sweetness was complemented nicely by the maple chili crisp, which had just a bit of a kick. The bison skirt steak tacos were also delicious. The bison was so tender and juicy. Full of flavor and cooked superbly. My server wasn't kidding when she said the tacos were big enough to share between a few people. I ate the tacos by myself, and I was beyond stuffed. Alas, I wasn't a big fan of the spoonbread. The flavor wasn't bad, but I didn't care for the texture, which was a little too coarse for me. The dessert was gluten-free, and I could REALLY tell. It was also too spicy for me. The spoonbread was drenched in hot honey. But the sweet potatoes, tacos, and attentive & friendly service more than made up for it. The restaurant isn't cheap (especially for a solo diner), but I've seen worse prices for worse food. And I'm eager to check out their new location the next time I'm in Minneapolis. Note - if you pay with a credit card, it does come with a 3% fee.

This makes the burger really chewy and you really can't taste the beef anymore like you used to when it was thicker. I would take this as it's not as good as it used to be. It is not as good as the original hype from the beginning. In conclusion, I do not think it's worth the $19. I rather get a cheesesteak for $16 at Tono's which comes with fresh not burnt fries rather than come back here and get a burger here. It's highly unlikely I will be back here. I honestly feel like the burgers have gone way WAY downhill. The fries here have gotten terrible so I stopped getting the fries a long time ago. They are not soft crisp like they used to be. They are too golden brown color, almost like burnt hard fries. I never like to eat down here. I normally would order the Parlour burger upstairs. The basement part which is Parlour has a weird smell like a locker room smell so that's why I don't like to eat down here.

Every course and every pairing was explained in detail, and the staff clearly knew their craft. Service - they absolutely delivered. We chose The W.C. Whitney Menu. I had the Premium Wine Pairing, which was excellent and very well done. My wife chose the Temperance Pairing since she does not drink alcohol. This was one of the few disappointments of the evening. Many of the drinks were designed to mimic the taste of cocktails and wine, while my wife does not care for the taste of alcoholic drinks. When it came to the food, there was a range. Some dishes were truly outstanding and worthy of Demi's reputation. Some were good but not exactly great. And honestly, a few were mediocre. With a tasting menu, you expect some variation, but at this level and at this price, mediocre does not cut it. Here's what it really comes down to. I would rate the experience itself 5-stars. But the cost of the evening did not come close to matching what was delivered. I was not looking for, or expecting value! We spent over $700 for the evening. Demi is very good. The service is exceptional. The ambiance is awesome. Much of the food is outstanding. But in my opinion, the overall experience did not justify the extremely high cost.

Tucked away in its own little corner of North Loop, there is some paid parking directly outside otherwise walking from nearby street parking is possible too! The interior of the space is whimsical and fun with green and pink interior design elements, gold accents, and fun artwork! It truly feels like a special escape from reality when inside...similar to an Alice in Wonderland experience. Our server was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about what to order. I particularly appreciated how our pasta came out in intentional courses from lightest to heaviest. It absolutely elevated the meal to top notch. Known for their handmade pasta, we didn't mess around with any other menu items...we just ordered four different plates of pasta: Doppio, Torteletti, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, and Tajarin! The Doppio was my favorite, with a unique double filled pasta that had a savory sunchoke filling highlighted with a pop of whipped ricotta. The Rigatoni was cozy and warm, serving up perfect comfort food vibes. The Tajarin was the ocean in a bowl and my partner's favorite, but it was a bit too salty for my palate. The food was top notch and the environment was stellar, but I did feel a bit of cognitive dissonance. The food was so grounded, earthy, and cozy yet the interior was whimsical, playful, and ethereal. This disconnect took my out of the experience a bit. Add in that the price points are a bit high, and I could see why some might have different expectations. Overall, I'm glad Dario is taking swings at providing something truly unique to the North Loop! I will absolutely be returning!
