    Located in the 50th and France neighborhood, this hidden gem is off one of the courtyards. It's a lovely restaurant. Between the high ceilings and huge windows, it feels incredibly spacious. It's also full of elements that make it feel full of life--plants, yes, but also a fireplace and fun feather light fixtures. It's oh so chic while also being quite soothing. I enjoyed the music: it was low enough to not interfere with conversation, but full of fun choices. Overall, it was very easy to have a conversation here. The lighting is kept fairly dim, so don't forget your reading glasses if you need them! The food is equally charming and features French classics along with fresh new takes on old favorites. I started with the Bibb salad, which was absolutely gorgeous: the leaves were tender and covered in a creamy and tart vinaigrette, and there were whole parsley leaves that added textural and flavor contrast. They also had a wonderful bread service that is served with radish butter, which is a treat for all the senses. I highly recommend it. For my main, I ordered the tagliolini, a pasta dish with truffle butter, Parmesan, and fresh black truffle. Starchy, creamy, and savory, it is comforting without being stodgy. It was a generous portion, so I had enough to eat for lunch today (until I got peckish later in the evening). For dessert, I got the crème brûlée, and it was one of the best I have had. (Careful, the dish is hot!) It was smooth and rich, full of vanilla, and topped with a flawless layer of crunchy caramelized sugar. Don't miss that one, either. Additional shout-out for the excellent zero proof options. They had a lovely NA kir royale that hit the spot. This is more of a slow food/leisurely dining experience, so definitely let your server know if you are headed to a movie or otherwise time-constrained. They're all very knowledgeable and friendly, but it's more of a Euro-inspired style of service--you may need to flag someone down if you need something, as they're not as likely to interrupt your conversation to check in.

    Eggs Benedict with Crab

    We're definitely coming back for dinner! Brunch was already impressive, and you can tell this new spot is quickly finding its rhythm. While they're still smoothing out a few service and timing details, the overall experience makes Therese absolutely worth a visit--especially if you love French cuisine. Portions are generous, and many dishes are perfect for sharing if you're not a big eater. The full bar is a great touch, making it an easy place to enjoy a relaxed meal with friends or family. A wonderful addition to the Edina dining scene--French casual dining done right, with the bonus of being just steps away from covered parking. That convenience is priceless during Minnesota winters!

    A croissant Espresso martini!

    We sat at the bar in Thérèse last Sunday and had a great time. The space is airy, expansive and comfortable, a good example of the Del Prado signature concept. With a predictable brunch menu that will please the Edina patrons, Thérèse does it job well. My highlight was the Espresso martini made with a croissant aquavit. That's right, croissant, and it's served with a miniature croissant floating on top. Eliza was our bartender/server, and she was delightful. A couple of industry people sat down next to us and engaged in conversation. I loved that, so rare in Minneapolis. We will return to Thérèse.

    Gnocchi and Chicken

    Went for 50th and France's restaurant week and had a good time. Loved the vibes inside and service was good. We got the chicken liver, gnocchi, chicken, and crème brûlée. The gnocchi and chicken were great. The crème brûlée's texture and temperature were kinda off.

    Snow Crab Lettuce Cups

    Excellent food and service. Did a wonderful job designing the space to add warmth. Very experienced staff (our waiter was formerly at Martina). Snow crab lettuce cups are one of my favorite appetizers in the city. Look forward to returning to try more of the menu!

We went into the lot and all the restaurant spots were blocked off, after a call they cleared one. Started with bacon wrapped dates, which were good. My husband and I both ordered the filet medium, it came out medium well at best (very little pink). The potato puree was great!

    This place is a hidden gem, but make sure you plan ahead to get there. Their website says that they…read morehave 10 parking spots dedicated for the restaurant, but that isn't completely true. We got to the parking garage, lots of spots left for the restaurant but there was a valet there and said all those spots are actually reserved for the valet. We ended up parking across the street near the lake. Once inside, it's a very nice vibe with beautiful furniture and lots of natural light. They have great happy hour menu - we started with the shrimp appetizer which as flavorful and the shrimp was plump and well cooked. We also got the burger and the Waterbury salad. Burger was good, but the salad was a bit basic; I was expecting more bacon and more blue cheese dressing, it was mostly just basic iceberg lettuce which is not awesome for $13. I also tried the Hugo spritz which was refreshing but a bit sweet for my taste. I will for some come back to try more things!

    Nightingale always provides a wonderful experience. My spouse and I stopped in on the Friday…read moreevening of Memorial Day weekend, thinking it wouldn't be crowded. Wrong. Nightingale was packed, but fortunately, once two patrons saw my face from the bar, they quickly paid their bill and left. My face often compels people to vacate crowded establishments in Minneapolis, and we often find seats. After grabbing the two seats, we ordered wine and a wonderful Amaro-based cocktail. Jules was our bartender/server, and although he was crazy busy, he found time to be gracious to us. We ordered the meatball appetizer, halibut, and the Nightingale hamburger. My halibut was sublime, cooked perfectly, and it wasn't drowned in sauce. Bravo! The meatballs were tender and delicious, but the hamburger was not memorable. It was good, not great. Despite all the accolades above, when the bill came, I was charged two dollars after requesting a cucumber slice for my Pimms Cup. Perhaps the source of this pettiness came from the kitchen, but it wasn't smart, because the $2.00 charge placed a shroud over my experience. The bill was $125, and because of the petty two-buck charge, I only left a $25 tip. I was going to leave a $30 tip. I will sadly remember those 2 bucks forever. It was a myopic move and a passive-aggressive way to handle my request. In my birthplace home of NYC, a bartender would have said, "Getting a cucumber slice is a pain in the rear, would you mind skipping it?" My response, "Sure, it's not a big deal."

    First time visiting Nightingale and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was fun and…read moreenergetic without feeling too crowded, and the space had a great vibe.

Relatively easy to find, though you do have to hunt a little bit, Flora Room sits behind a nondescript metal door leading down a short hallway to the entrance. Take a long moment to allow your eyes to adjust if you're coming before sunset; this space is DARK. It's also perfect. Once your "night vision" kicks in you're surrounded by a nice bar, numerous bistro-style tables and booths. Candles adorn the tables creating a nice, cozy place to settle in for drinks. Once seated in comfortable chairs at a table, we were quickly greeted and provided with menus. The cocktail selection is relatively "small" but really nicely varied. Prices seemed a tad steep but frankly, given the quality of the drinks I'd say quite worth it. I started out with the Evita, a nice flavorful gin-base cocktail topped with a nice egg white foam. Very tasty. My wife opted for the Tapaculo, with gin, mezcal, pineapple, banana and bitters over ice. Also quite good. There are also bites available from the associated restaurant I can't recall the name of mine but I can say it was delicious. Bread-like bites with a really tasty dipping sauce. To close out the visit I selected Palo, a smoked aged rum cocktail that was really nice and rich. My wife chose the Nahualito with rum, walnut, amontillado and white chocolate. All should be on your radar. Flora Room really fit the bill for a nice, intimate speakeasy-style spot to spend time. Dark and cozy. Savory cocktails and friendly service will stand out and make you want to return. I know we'll seek it out if we return to Minneapolis again. I hope so.

    Wow, this place was cool!…read more The entry is pretty hidden and parking requires a bit of work unless you do valet. We went on a Saturday night, so we had to wait a bit in order to be seated. However, it was worth the wait for us. There is a dark moody vibe and while my group went in for drinks, there are also options for food. The place itself is pretty loud - both with music and talking, so maybe not the best location for a first date. The drinks are expensive, but the experience was worthwhile for us. I enjoyed the meditteránea. I'll very likely be back! What a neat spot.

Martina is an ace with its bold flavored Argentinian cuisine and relaxing atmosphere. We dined on the patio, but whether you are seated inside or out, the ambiance is adorned with green plants, natural wood, and clean lines for a modern aesthetic that pleases today's diner. The food was a pleasure. The secret to the bold flavors is in the sauce. We started with an order of the grilled bread and a dozen oysters. I'll never say no to raw oysters (even on some occasions when I should have), but these were a great experience. The vinegar sauce served with these was a unique version that when paired with a dash of the shredded horseradish and a squeeze of lemon juice, the oysters were a punch of zingy perfection. The salted, vinegar infused butter that came with the bread elevated the dish. I chose the halibut for my entree and it was lovely (halibut is a win in any format). However, I would highly recommend the ribeye. My son got that and I sampled a piece with the accompanying chimichuri sauce and it was heavenly. The oils chosen to create that sauce were very well thought out so it made for not-your-typical ribeye and lent itself to something flavorfully unique. We want to return! Putting this on our list of faves when in Minneapolis/St Paul.

My friends enjoyed those more than their entrees unfortunately. One said the cacio e Pepe ravioli was underwhelming and the other felt the grilled salmon was decent.
