    Charcuterie spread
    Tippy P.

    I met up with my aunties for some wine and dinner at this wine bar in uptown. I had to drive down a block to find parking along the street, otherwise there's is a parking ramp a block away. Reservations recommended, this is a small bar. Nice and intimate. The bar is lit up orange, and there's a fire place that also set the mood. We each ordered a flight and shared flat bread and charcuterie spread.

    This place is excellent! We came here on a Saturday evening before dinner and were seated right away. It looks like you can also make a reservation as there were reserved tables. Happy hour everyday! I ordered a flight of Nico's Favorite of the Moment (the GM) and husband got the House Red. All wines were excellent and I was told they rotate a flight every few months or so. The truffle chips were a nice snack. It was a cozy place with a fireplace and informative staff. We look forward to returning!

    Vibes: Sexy. Sultry. Speakeasy. Wine bar. Great music. Intimate seating and fun yet comfy decor. Drinks: Ordered the Nico's Favorite of the Moment Flight $25 Cost: The flight was so reasonably priced ($25) and each glass was 3oz. The Pinsa was also a great size to share for the price ($18) I ended up with leftovers. Experience: Our server was so knowledgeable and friendly. She helped one of my friends decide which wine to try and had great suggestions on both food and wine! We didn't need convincing to come back.

    Beautiful little wine bar with great selections and delicious food. Nico is very knowledgeable and makes great recommendations. Very friendly as well, every time we have been there it's been a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this gem!

    I was in a walk and found this hidden gem. Ambiance was 10/10. Food and wine 10/10. The women leading the evening were pure joy. They let this CA girl ask questions about MN and they gave me further advice on things to do in the area. I want to come here every day and be best friends with the team!!! I'll be back!!

    I went with 2 girl friends for a girls night at the Tasting Room and we had a wonderful experience! The location had a really cozy vibe. They do not seem to have the food menu on their website so I emailed them for a copy of the menu and they responded same day. Nico was our server and he gave us really personalized service. One of my friends is gluten free and they were able to accommodate her dietary restriction. Between the 3 of us, we ordered 2 bottles of wine, olives, beef carpaccio, escargot, a gluten free Flatbread, a cheeseboard, and a creme brulee. All the food all tasted great! The gluten free pizza also turned out really well (he said that was the first time having to serve one). They also provided us with gluten free crackers since my friend couldn't eat the baguette that came with some of the dishes. The Tasting Room is perfect for date night or a girls night out. I hope it sticks around for a long time to come!

    My new favorite wine bar in the twin cities by far. This stylish little spot just off Hennepin in uptown features an amazing selection of wines by the bottle as well as a frequently changing selections by the glass. Available in 2 oz tasting pours or 6 oz glasses the selections the night we visited featured lesser known varietals that are sure to expand your wine knowledge. The proprietor, Doug, is a wealth of information about wines and has curated an amazing selection. There are a number of small plates too from cheeses and meats, nuts greens and more. But whatever you do you MUST order the house made focaccia-a fantastically crispy bread served with a fruity olive oil-heaven! They also will be doing wine classes so be sure to keep an eye on their website. A-one. I've already booked a return visit in a couple of weeks to see what else he's discovered.

The pour-your-own wine concept is honestly so much fun and super convenient. I love that you can choose exactly how much you want from each pour, which makes it perfect for trying a variety of wines instead of committing to a full glass. We shared a charcuterie board that was amazing and loaded with a fun variety of things, perfect for snacking over wine with friends. There really isn't anything else quite like this in the Twin Cities. It somehow feels like you've escaped Minneapolis for the evening, which makes it such a fun spot for a night out. The wine selection is great, and the food is surprisingly really good too. They also offer lunch and brunch options with sandwiches, salads, and of course their charcuterie boards. On top of that the service was fantastic, super friendly and attentive.

The ambiance is classy but cozy and perfect for a date night or a small group dinner, there's a patio as well that I'm excited to spend time at this summer! This place is perfect to also pick up picnic items before heading over to the lake!

A bit on the steeper size price wise,…read morehowever it stands up with their "normal" prices for the most part (I think if they included chips or something it would feel like better value overall). We got takeout on this occasion which was slick, albeit a bit tricky due to parking in the linden hills area by this restaurant. I got the turkey in the hills sandwich and the tomato soup. Both of these were hits and were a good amount of food too. My mom got the same sandwich with the chicken wild rice soup which wasn't as much of a hit as the tomato but was still decent and then my sister got a veg sandwich with the tomato soup. Overall I like the lunch special and think it could be perfect with a sandwich and salad on a summer day

SPACE There are a few 4-tops on the patio in front, a handful of bar seats inside with a small, cozy indoor table footprint, and a handful of 2-3 tops on the back alley. SERVICE The bartender told us to go find a spot on the back alley, so we did - but not sure we did things right, as our server walked past us a few times without acknowledging us. Service was friendly but limited. DRINKS They had a nice cocktail menu, but I opted for an Aperol Spritz. My husband chose off their limited NA menu a lavender honey lemonade, and it was a bit too sweet for him. I'd love to see some mocktail options here! FOOD We just got a few shareables since we were heading to dinner after, but their sandwiches were making my husband's mouth water! We got: Pickle Brined Wings - amazing flavor, salty and dilly, but I would have liked quite a bit more char on them: they were pretty pale. Minnesota Sushi - my husband loved this! Served with Ritz crackers, and it's the perfect little shareable dip.

    As a homemade pasta lover, Broaders' Pasta Bar is it!…read more We visited on a Saturday night so we knew knew there would be a wait. Note, they do NOT take reservations so it's first come, first serve. Our original wait time was around 1 hour but it ended up only being 35 minutes. Parking is quite limited but due to eating later in the evening, we were able to get a parking spot in their lot. Broaders' has both patio and indoor seating. Being the middle of winter, we sat inside. It's not an overly large restaurant so be prepared to wait during busier meal times (like dinner on the weekends). Our waitress was very nice, answered our questions, and helped us select the perfect wine. Shortly after ordering our wine, they brought out a complimentary bread basket which was delicious! We asked for butter and more of the foccaccia because it was SO good. For our mains, we got the Greek Salad, Ravioli Di Zucca, and Spaghetti Con Polpette. WOW! I don't have a single complaint. The greek salad was flavorful with all the mixed vegetables and dressed perfectly. The Ravioli Di Zucca was buttery and delicious and the Spaghetti Con Polpette was probably the best spaghetti and meatballs we've ever had. Somehow we had room for dessert and opted for the Tiramisu. It was good, not great. I didn't love that it was cut in the shape of a pie vs. a square -- Something about that threw me off. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend going to Broaders' Pasta Bar! You won't regret it!

My favorite side is the cheese/deli side. I enjoy Surdyk's, but they seem to have cut back on their product offerings, so I have been coming down here to France 44. They have a wonderfully curated selection of cheese of all varieties. You want soft cheese. If you are unsure of a cheese you might be interested in, the cheesemongers will certainly provide you with a description, and even allow you to sample before you buy. To complement your cheese, there is a nice array of cured meats, crackers, olives, etc to add to the cheese-eating experience. One thing I would add is that this establishment is not unlike shopping at Target. You enter to pick up one or two items, and you leave with much more than you intended.

The ambiance is relaxed, low light as soon as you walk in and the place is buzzing with energy. The food and drinks here are amazing.

I started with the carrot squash soup which was so fall in a bowl. Comforting and creamy. The accompanied crispy bread piece was great too. I also for the buckwheat savory crepe that was filled with mushroom and spinach and it was filling. The buckwheat makes the crepe a little thicker I think. Plate comes with poached eggs and the yolkiness helps bind everything together. The side house salad was also very refreshing too. Overall, a really cute spot that I'd recommend! I heard their dinner is quite good too.
