    Rigatoni Bolognese
    Lisa B.

    This has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Linden Hills. It's a small casual restaurant, but has a great city vibe! We stopped in on a Wednesday night and it wasn't that busy, which was nice as we were hungry and didn't want to wait for a table. We got seated immediately, and our server came over to take our drink order. Apparently they have taken the Mac Day off their menu, but she made me another version of this fabulous drink and it was delicious!! Tonight I tried the grilled zucchini and their shrimp appetizer while my husband had the pork chop. Everything was delicious. We even saved a small bit of room for the chocolate dessert which was reminiscent of a s'mores bar and it was so good!

    We tried this place for Restaurant Week and we were pleasantly impressed with the level of the food. The corn chowder was flat out amazing with a citrus fresh base that I don't know if I could replicate. The pork chop - overcooked at most high end restaurants was spot on here. Cozy ambiance with lots of wood and painted wood along with efficient service make this a place I will go back to.

    Tilia raises the high bar! They brought their A-game delivering great food and drinks with exceptional service, all set in a classy yet laid back environment. The dinner and drink menu offers a mix of different cuisine so you'll be hard-pressed to leave hungry (or thirsty!) I came here for dinner while in town on a business trip and was blown away by the experience. I highly recommend starting with the bread basket, served warm and complemented by a homemade herb butter (amazing!) I also enjoyed a beet salad and the black cod entree. The cod was topped with a buerre blanc sauce that sent the dish into another league. If you like fish, give it a try. If I lived in the area, I'd dine here regularly.

    My friend and I went there for a Saturday brunch and my experience was overall pleasant. Everything was smooth ranging from seating to our server approaching us at a reasonable time to our food served at a good time. The only reason I would give a 4 would be due to food taste. It was good but not spectacular, and some items were better than others, which I will elaborate on very soon. I recommend the Benedict, first of all. The salad was a standard salad with leaves, but the muffins were very tasty! The ham was soft and succulent. The eggs were well-poached so as soon as I broke it, the yoke was starting to cover the muffin. The hollandaise sauce was a bit sweet but it accompanied the savory very well! I also loved the beet salad, as it contained a mixture of yellow beets and red beets, along with pecans, goat cheese, and even orange slices. It wasn't a common combination but it definitely worked! The brown butter vinaigrette accompanied everything very well, too. I will definitely get the beet salad again when I return here at some point. The turkish eggs were good as well because they had the right ingredients: dill, garlic yogurt, and roasted tomato. These ingredients represented some of the most common elements seen in Turkish dishes. I just wasn't sure if it would classify the item as "Turkish eggs" but this one could just be me being ignorant! Regardless, the taste was good and I enjoyed it! However, the Cacio y Pepe was mediocre at best. The parmesan mixture was too soupy and didn't really stick to the pasta, which meant the temperature wasn't hot enough when mixing cheese and water. It also didn't feel like the parmesan was Parmigiano Reggiano as there was some powdered texture, but I could be wrong on that one; adding some Pecorino Romano may help more. I also didn't think rigatoni was the right type of pasta because experiencing a dish like cacio e pepe should be rolling a fork around a stringy type of pasta like linguine or fettuccine. Overall good experience and I would definitely recommend this establishment to those visiting the area! Enjoying some Sebastian Joe's ice cream afterwards and visiting Wild Rumpus, the bookstore, right after brunch would definitely complete the experience even more.

    I visited Tilia for dinner on a weekend. We didn't have a reservation, but our party of 2 was able to be seated immediately at the bar. We had a great experience being served by Matt at the bar! The bartender was attentive but still retained the intimacy of our conversation and dining experience. Now onto the food... we ordered the Cacio E Pepe and the Seared Shrimp. Both were delicious! The portions were filling but small enough that leftovers weren't needed. The cocktail menu was intriguing! We went with the cocktail of the day, which featured hibiscus gin. The glass was served to the brim, despite the photo I included lol. It was strong, and the ingredients complemented each other well. Overall, I would recommend Tilia for a nicer dinner out, and hope to return. Note about tipping and service charges (copied from the receipt): "A 21% Hospitality Fee has been added to your bill. This fee helps to support higher base wages and a revenue share model that gives 17% of all net sales to employees. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute 177.23, Subd. 9, this charge is not a gratuity for direct employee service. Tipping is not expected. If you have questions or concerns about this, please ask your server." {2024 Review No. 1}

    Rigatoni Bolognese
    Anna M.

    This is such a lovely neighborhood spot. I was traveling in Minneapolis, and a local recommended that I dine here. The ambiance is nice, it wasn't too crowded at dinner time, and I recommend sitting in the side patio if you can. The Rigatoni Bolognese had a rich flavor to it, and the basil was not overly cooked, so it still had a noticeable taste. Be aware that there is currently construction in the area, so parking can be a little tricky.

    What a spectacular experience! Tilia is a lovely spot in the quiet Linden Hills neighborhood. It has the feel of a neighborhood bar that has been around forever (and been well loved the entire time). Focal points include the bar itself and the open kitchen. Warm wood, lighting with vintage vibes, and what I am pretty sure is the original ceiling, this place feels like history in a very good way. Another high point was the service. Johann was personable, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. The best part, of course, was the food. I ordered the daily shrub, which was lime and yuzu, and it was absolutely a dream. Acid-forward, this shrub was bright and slightly perfume-y, a sit-up-and-take-notice epigraph. We also had the bread plate. This is bread and butter for a foodie. A big stack of tangy and smoky grilled sourdough is served with a glorious quenelle of herby butter that was full of fresh chives and topped with a generous scatter of flakes salt. Each mouthful of buttered bread was warm, tangy, and savory. The prix fixe is an excellent opportunity to try multiple offerings, and I can't recommend it enough. There are satisfying and delicious options for food lovers of all persuasions. I started with the endive salad. It comes with a beautifully emulsified tarragon honey vinaigrette coating each leaf and is scattered with pomegranate arils and perfectly toasted hazelnuts. It was also topped with spiralized radishes. For my main, I ordered the roasted cauliflower, which was absolutely spectacular. Flavored with dukkah and peppadew and served atop a tahini sauce, this dish had a slightly Middle Eastern feel. I loved that they kept the stalks intact, which afforded a variety of textures in each bite. Those beautiful jewel-tone petals you see in the photo are layers of spiced pickled onions, and they are every bit as amazing as they look. For my dessert, I had the peanut butter bombe, and I confess that I wasn't quite sure what to expect. What I got was easily the tastiest peanut butter creation I have ever encountered. There was a gooey dulce de leche center, a smooth and creamy peanut butter mousse, a decadent and smooth coating of dark chocolate, and generous chunks of Virginia peanut brittle. It was rich, satisfying, smooth, and inviting. It is rich enough that you could probably share (but I didn't, and I'm not sorry). This entire meal was an absolute masterclass in the use of ingredients, with influences from many cuisines coming together to make an imaginative and utterly delightful symphony of textures and flavors. Tilia is a gem!

    Went to Tilia for a birthday celebration and was not disappointed! The staff was all very friendly and attentive during dinner, making sure we were enjoying ourselves. The food was awesome, our favorites were the shrimp appetizer and the pasta special, a agnolotti morels dish was so so good. Bread starter for the table was also good, better than the beef tartare. Will come back again!

    Cantaloupe gazpacho- one of the best I have eaten in my life!
    Barbie T.

    Amazing food!! The cantaloupe gazpacho should be a permanent menu item. One of the best gazpacho dishes i have eaten in my life. Service is top notch. Parking may be a bit challenging as it is street parking and lots of other places nearby. Be prepared to walk a block or two. Highly recommended!!

    Pretty low-key spot in Linden Hills. Relatively limited brunch menu, but good range and really enjoyed the benedict. Brioche French toast was good and hash browns were amazing. Crispy and warm. Super casual and helpful staff. Even better if a few more breakfast options.

    This was our new year's day brunch. Fabulous place for a smaller place, we sat at the bar right by the door...brr! Every time someone came in you got a blast of cold air on tour back, it was the only negative to the experience. They need to switch to an air curtain instead of the cloth curtain. Now on to all the positives, as I said we sat at the bar which made getting drinks easy...I had a beer while my wife and her friend had a grapefruit mimosa(super tasty). We started off with winter fruit and lemon poppyseed bread(better than my mother's...don't tell). We followed that with cauliflower custard and bruleed yogurt & blood orange cream filled profiteroles. We chased that with our entrees Tonarelli pasta carbonara for me and the El Greco and bouillabaise with shaved truffles for the ladies and we shared the potato pavé. For me the pavé, the pasta, and the profiteroles were the stars. Definitely check this place out!

    The food was honestly an experience you just wanted to never end. We went in and ordered 3 plates. By how good they were we ended up with 7 orders between the 2 of us. They change their menue every so often based on what is in season and you can tell the effort put in the menu creation. The food doesn't taste as you expect but also as it should have always been... like melon soup...I know how that sounds trust me but it was the most refreshing soup I have ever had. Every sip took your mind on an ocean adventure. Honestly it's food as an experience and it does it excellently. Tricked by with their casual ambiance I never knew what hit me until it was over.

    I went for a brunch here with my super stupid ex-boyfriend and the food was so good I am not mad momentarily that I dated him as reminisce on how delicious each bite was. It's the people that make the place, the people serving the food in this place were awesome. My omelette was awesome, the plate that he had was super tasty (chefs choice - very flavorful), the coffee was great, and we even got a donut for some reason I don't remember ... but I could've easily taken home 12 of them and shove my face like Homer Simpson. I think I'm going to come back without my super stupid ex-boyfriend and I'll enjoy it even more. When dining-in opens up again bring your loved ones and enjoy an awesome brunch in a cute setting.

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.
