    Had an enjoyable experience here this evening. Loved the food and enjoyed the ambiance of sitting outside. We had a nice table in the quoter of their outdoor patio. It was definitely worth the short wait to get it compared to eating inside. Although the overall experience was still good, there were definitely some things that could have been better. When our food was brought out we didn't receive any silverware or napkins and had to flag someone down, we also were not offered any water refills throughout the duration of our meal. Getting the bill and paying the bill was also a lengthy process. With that being said I could still definitely see myself back here!

    Highly recommend this restaurant for its food. They use quality ingredients and have a health menu of choices from Asian, Italian, to American. The service was prompt and helped contribute to the atmosphere of fun. I recommend sharing this location to others and will definitely be back to taste more of the menu.

    I like this place. Good prices, nice design (except the lights at the bar hang too low obstructing your vision to the TV's) Not wise for a sports bar. Burger, fries and especially the cole slaw were awesome! Customer service was also great! This place was opened by Lou Nanne former North Stars player. Check it out!

    Tavern 23 is conveniently located in the Centennial Lakes area. While there was ample parking when we arrived at 5:00 on Saturday, the lot was pretty full by the time we left shortly after six. We were given our pick of seating--indoor, outdoor, or in the lounge area. The space is large and has an interesting feel. There was definitely a modern lakeside vibe, but there were also plenty of things that would be at home in a sports bar. It seemed to attract lots of kinds of groups, from ladies having a night out to families to groups of friends to dates. It did get a little bit loud as the evening progressed, but we were still able to have a conversation. The service was absolutely great--a friendly host, a friendly server (thanks, Jose!) who was eager to answer our questions about the menu and make sure we were happy with our selections--all in all, exactly right! I was stoked to see that they had some good NA options, including Bauhaus Nah, which is a reliably good NA beer. They also had some NA cocktail and wine options, but were all on the sweet side--not super my jam. (Drinkers will be happy to see a pretty extensive list of options in all categories: beer, wine, cocktails, and spirits.) The menu was eclectic, including American comfort food, Latin dishes, sushi, health-conscious picks, flatbreads, and Asian-inspired items. While there was some crossover (avocado spring rolls and Mexican sushi rolls come to mind), I wouldn't call it fusion--it's more that the menu reflected several different types of cuisine. We had the guacamole to start, and it was a favorite for everyone. The portion was very generous, and I loved how well the various textures and flavors came through, from the minced red onion and hot peppers to the bright cilantro and avocado chunks. It was topped with cotijo and served with light and crispy tortilla chips. SO yummy. We also shared the Caprese salad, which was exactly what it sounds like. Considering how many cuisines that the menu drew from, I was surprised that there weren't many vegetarian options for entrees. Even some of the dishes that I'd normally expect to be veggie-friendly, like Mac and cheese, had meat in them. Luckily, I was able to get one of the non-vegetarian entrees (the Kung Pao linguine) made without the meat. The Sichuan chili sauce was tasty--hot, savory, and salty--and the veggies and noodles were fine, too. Overall, I'd say the food was okay--it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. I would probably most likely return if I was looking for a place to grab some appetizers with friends. This would probably also be a good choice if you and your companions were all in the mood for something different. I don't think there are too many other places where you can get sushi, flatbread, meatloaf, queso, and Mongolian beef from the same menu.

    Still a good place for a quick bite while watching a game! Good meatloaf. And a full bar! Service can be spotty at times especially when they are full but it's a great place for a casual get together. Free parking outside.

    We had an appointment in the area one evening so we decided to grab a bite and beverage at Tavern 23. The place was busy with a diverse crowd of people and the vibe was full of energy. We grabbed a couple seats at the bar and reviewed the menu - so many good options! Ultimately we decided to take advantage of the fantastic happy hour special and ordered several appetizers to share. They were delicious! We ordered the cheese curds, sliders, a flatbread, and a sushi roll. The portions were substantial (lunch the following day!). We will be back soon!

    Kung Pao Linguine
    Josh D.

    Let me start by saying I really like this place. Maybe I'm a hockey homer and the Lou Nanne vibe suckered me in - but the restaurant and bar vibe is classy. Great ambiance - which is what you expect from most sit down places in Edina. Now - the menu is interesting. Like someone smashed an American, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, and sushi place together. I was excited by the unique combinations, specifically drawn in by the kung pao linguine. It's been on my list and I finally had the chance to try it. So... It wasn't my favorite. In fact - I wouldn't get it again or recommend it. I should've maybe stuck to the more traditional pastas on the menu, but that's just not my style. Now the dish - the flavor was decent and the spice level was pretty good. It just felt like somebody tossed leftover noodles and Chinese food together in a stir-fry. There was a lot of zucchini and breaded chicken on the plate. Honestly, I think it was the flavor and breaded chicken that threw me off. I'm used to kung pao chicken as it's own menu item - toss it in with noodles and I just didn't know what to expect! Swing and a miss for me - but still worth the adventure. I bet there are other gems amidst this menu! Basil pesto linguine? Yeah - I'd dabble.

    Tavern 24 is beautiful inside and out. Walking up to the front door from the parking lot, I actually took note of how well kept the landscaping was and good it looked, you could just sit there and relax. Walking in, it was beautiful and relaxing and the aroma of the wood burning wraps itself around you and pulls you in. The service was welcoming, engaging and friendly and I would come back any day. I've learned to take the recommendations of those who've visited at places I haven't, so I took the spicy Italian flatbread pizza. This was pizza done right! I have an Italian friend, whose family hails from New York. Based on what he's told me about pizza, he would be proud. I loved every bite, and it wasn't heavy, it wasn't carb-y, it was straight good ol' deliciousness! I would recommend coming here to meet with friends or for a date night with.

    We are visiting from N.C. and found this on Yelp. Had a great menu with a variety of choices. It was very busy and we waited for a bit for our server but the food was fast after she took our order. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. Flavors were great. Nice atmosphere. Looks like a great place to watch sporting events with TVs all around. Would visit again.

    Was invited by my bankers to join them on this gem of a lunch. It's only a few blocks south of my office. I have walked by it dozens of times but never stopped in. Shame because it was a wonderful experience. Great menu. The food tasted really good. We sat on the porch in 72 degree weather overlooking the Centennial Lake pond. Would highly recommend it.

The restaurant is quite large and super cute. We were greeted and seated right away. The walls have fun little things written in chalk and it is very bright and cheery inside. We received the menu and waited a bit before our order was taken. We did not need to wait long for our food to arrive. My daughter and I ordered the same thing with slight variations--Two Eggs, Potatoes, and Toast. I chose the Hen Potatoes which were amazing! Tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside--not greasy at all. My daughter had the hash browns, which were just as good--not greasy, but perfectly crisp and flavorful. The seven grain toast and jam were great and our scrambled eggs were cooked just how we like. My daughter also ordered a fruit cup, which was filled with a bigger variety of fruit than she expected and she loved it. I ordered a side of bacon and it was delicious. While the food wowed us, our service was just okay. She was polite enough, but did not check on us until we were well into our meal. Thankfully, we didn't need anything. Our check and my payment were dealt with promptly, which we appreciated. We also ordered a caramel roll to go and were very glad we did. Super tasty and not overly sweet. If you are in the area, stop in. You will not regret it. The prices are higher, but it is worth every penny. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area.
