(Also! the lack of AC must be such a killer to work there on hot days). Got a beyond burger. Nothing to write home about and I forgot to get cheese on it, so the burger was a little bland but that's on me. I like their portion sizes, good big lunch or chill dinner. Being right on the river is amazing but there is a bunch of stuff stacked between the restaurant and the river right now, so the view is blocked :/ There was a dog wall, which I love (obviously) BUT they didn't take a photo of our dog :( Booty. But love the dog friendly-ness of the place: dog bowls everywhere, dog treats, tables spaced enough apart to not be constantly worried about dogs wondering too close to other people. There was a huge group of ladies playing mahjong, which was such a vibe. Love a place people can come and play games.

The ambiance is lively but also a spot to enjoy and maybe lock in. My group of 3 was sat at this circular table, it didn't really accommodate space and our food, but luckily I was the only one with food. The coffee kind of sucks, lots of milk and not warm enough. It tastes like it should cost what it did, and my parents were upset with it. They didn't finish theirs and they're the kind of people to order multiple, so that speaks for itself. The food was okay but I don't quite understand the vibe of this place yet. It's a mix of a bakery but with food, so I can't tell if I should come hungry or plan on grabbing a bite.

It's supposed to be renovated from the old 925 restaurant but feels like any changes were minor. I have always loved the cozy vibe there and glad that it still feels the same. We shared the Burrata without the pea shoots which we enjoyed . I had the Belle & Grey burger - thought it was a good burger and not opposed to ordering it again - the onion bacon jam added just the right amount of sweetness. 2 friends ordered the Steak of Lion's Mane Mushroom and they said it was pretty good. Another friend had the King Salmon but thought it lacked something, just wasn't tasty enough. I got a Hugo Spritz which was on the sweet side the way I like it. It's a good upscale cozy place for a meal.

Rich, deeply caramelized broth, bubbling Gruyère, and tender short rib turned a classic into something memorable. The Lobster Pot Pie was equally impressive, hiding generous chunks of sweet lobster beneath a perfectly flaky crust with a velvety cream sauce that begged to be savored to the last bite. What stood out most wasn't just the food--it was the consistency. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor without trying too hard. Add in attentive service and a warm, polished atmosphere, and it's easy to see why Belle & Grey has become a favorite in Wayzata. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an exceptional meal, Belle & Grey is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back.

An adorable local fast food place! It's pretty small, but we ate during a slower time so it was…read morecozy. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I also appreciate that their prices are exactly as written--if it says $5, it comes out exactly $5. As an added bonus, the prices are reasonable compared to other similar ice cream/fast food places in the area. The fries were fresh and crispy, and the dream smash burger was incredible (albeit a little hard to eat due to its floppiness). The ice cream was decent; they didn't skip on the portion sizes.

Really good burgers at a decent price!…read more The burgers were incredibly tender. $12 for a basket with fries for a single is a great deal and you add a patty for $3. The meat skirt was great on them. I also added bacon which was also incredibly tender. The cheese was really creamy and gooey too. I thought the patties could have used a touch more seasoning, but a minimal comment. They were meaty and delicious. The fries were battered fries, which I really like. And we're scaldingly hot out of the frier. They were really good. There is extremely limited inside seating...basically just a rail on the window. So in bad weather don't count on a spot inside. Plenty of benches outside and a patio though as long as the weather is good. The ice cream is also very good and competitively priced at $5 for a single scoop. Service is like a fast casual restaurant. They take your order and you pay and give your name and they bring it out to you.

I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not a fan of tex-mex, strip mall style joints. That said,…read moreLa Tapatia was a great experience. The atmosphere was trying to be trendy with the neon signs, rustic-chic, exposed duct aesthetic. The server was amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful with questions that our group had. The food was also way better than I feared it might be. I appreciated the build-your-own option for a lot of the dishes. I got a large salad with grilled shrimp and it was pretty good. The shrimp was flavorful and the salad bright. I used some of the cilantro salsa that came with the chips as dressing and it was great. It happened to be my birthday and they brought out some churros as a treat, which was really nice. The churros, however, were pretty bad. Super dense and chewy. The service definitely added an extra star and that waiter (I didn't get her name) should get some recognition. I would put this in the "group pleasing", "work happy hour" bucket of restaurants. I would never suggest but definitely wouldn't be upset if the group chose here.

The food was amazing, hospitality was cozy, atmosphere was relaxing to be in. Their menu has much more we will need to return to try. They have an additional location in Minneapolis and a spot at the MN State Fair every year! I'm most eager to get back here to try breakfast soon! Brunch / breakfast is my love language. This place was perfect for the dinner atmosphere we needed on a cold MN evening. It would also be a great pick for date night. The things we tried and you should too: Chicken Wild Rice Soup (10/10) Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich (with the Maple Chipotle Glaze) Almond Encrusted Walleye Redemption Burger their fries were also a bit hit at our table Basically we loved this place and can't wait to try more items from them For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

Great creative delicious sandwich shop in south Minneapolis. Service was ok not much interaction…read more You order on a kiosk. The place has no indoor seating and a few tables on the sidewalk. Seems like a really busy takeout spot. Order: the North Star deluxe. Delicious. Their take on a Reuben without the kraut. All the meats were delicious and distinctive in flavor. The creole mayo added that nice creaminess. The homemade pickles on the side added that little vinegar punch to cut thru the richness of the sandwich. Smoked salmon BLT. Huge potion of perfectly smoked salmon. The smoke and crunch of the bacon was a perfect pairing. This is an amazing creative surf and turf. Overall: This is a must try on your Minnesota food tour.

Start around 15. I got the "half" muffuletta. They only have a cold option on the menu for it. Thing was massive. Good proportion of bread to meat. 80's hockey vibe. I should have asked if they could do the muffuletta hot. Might be five stars if they would.

Looooooved my visit to Vivir! I spent half a day here and honestly I could've stayed longer. The…read moreenergy of this space is just that good! First off, plenty of private on-site parking, which is always a win in the city. Inside, the space is stunning. Large windows line most of the walls, flooding the café with warm, natural light. There's an impressive variety of seating depending on your vibe--couches, high-top tables, standard tables, bar-style seating facing the gorgeous large windows, and even solo setups if you're craving true alone time. Thoughtful and inviting in every way. The service was equally lovely. Monroe, the barista who helped me, made a spectacular Iced Brown Sugar Honey Latte--so good I ordered a second after I finished my first one. He was happy to answer all of my questions about the bakery items, breakfast offerings, and the horchata lattes that caught my eye. I ultimately went with the Chicken Chilaquiles, and wow... that was absolutely the right move. The dish featured warm, juicy chunks of chicken breast over crispy fried tortilla chips, topped with fried eggs, sliced avocado, beets, cotija cheese, and tomatillo sauce. The sauce wasn't spicy, but had just enough gentle heat to balance the tanginess of the green tomato beautifully. I also appreciated that the chips weren't overly drenched, allowing each ingredient to shine. Crunchy, flavorful, satisfying, and filling--everything you want in a breakfast. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the apple empanada. It may have been a one-off, but mine didn't quite hit the mark. Flavor-wise, it was good and accurately described as a slice of fried apple pie. Where it fell short for me was the filling-to-dough ratio. The filling was very minimal and almost paste-like, likely due to being reheated rather than baked fresh that day. I would've loved a filling with chunks of apples or simply more filling overall. Overall, the morning/afternoon I spent here brought me so much joy. I loved that there was no time limit--I was able to get a ton of work done while sipping delicious coffee, enjoying a slow, satisfying breakfast, and soaking in the sunshine. Vivir is a space that truly works for so many occasions: solo time, catching up with friends, family visits, or settling in for a few hours. I'll happily be returning whenever I'm in NE Minneapolis.
