Chopped. Salad
Lisa N.

Such a cute atmosphere. We walked in off of the street, rather than through the hotel...the hostess table was across the way so we had to walk through the restaurant which provided us a glimpse of what was to come. Everyone's plate looked amazing. The restaurant at 6:30 was about 20% capacity. So no need for a reservation on a Friday night. A+ on atmosphere C on service. We ordered drinks when we sat down. Our drinks didn't come until after our food (and the food took a reasonable amount of time to come out). We ran out of water and had to flag down another waiter to refill out communal water pitcher. I decided to split 2 dishes between myself and friend. We explained to our waitress that we were splitting the chopped salad and the recommended walleye. When the meal came out we had to request plates to split. We were given a teacup plate?!? That would fit an appetizer. B- for food= The walleye had a high price point but was highly recommended. It came out and I wanted to scream "where's the meat?" The filet was about 1" wide and 4" long. It was underwhelming for sure. The chopped salad was Ah-mazing. Overall, food was hit or miss. Service has room for improvement. But you'll be in a cozy atmosphere.

While in Minneapolis for a conference, on a cold night, I was looking for something steps from my hotel that would be warm and yummy and Breva was it! At Hotel Ivy and on top of Masa & Agave, I was greeted warmly by the host who made me feel welcomed and seated promptly. I love a good roasted beef salad and theirs did not disappoint. From my fellow Yelpers, I knew the rigatoni bolognese would be amazing and it was. While not the most beautiful dish, it was the warm hug I needed! Amazing job to the front and back of the house teams.

Nicely done- full bar. Brandy Old Fashioned is the way to go.

Pea risotto is killer, and so is the Caesar salad! Parking is super easy to find on the street, or two parking ramps adjacent to the building...or just toss your car's keys at the parking valet...and enjoy the convenience of walking in like you own the

*Breakfast Review Only* We did a staycation at Hotel Ivy and needed a quick breakfast before an event. Unfortunately, the service was quite slow, and the food came out just barely warm. The coffee was also harsh and bitter. I felt bad for the one and only server working. She seemed like she was making the best of a bad situation and was very friendly. It's possible this was just an off day - we all have them. I'd be willing to give them a try for dinner.

I recently came here to have dinner before seeing a show, and everything was just perfect. I'd been here before for an event, so I already knew that the food here was exceptional. On a Monday night with nothing happening at the nearby venues (my show was over on Hennepin but I didn't mind a little stroll), it was fairly quiet with very prompt and friendly service. This is located inside Hotel Ivy and it matches the modern classy vibe that the whole building is going for. But the main thing I like here is the food. This time I got Rigatoni Bolognese, and there was definitely a flavor twist on it that made it very unique and tasty. I also got a starter portion of roasted red pepper hummus with sourdough toast, and I would eat that every day of my life if I could. Creamy and flavorful, I highly recommend. For dessert I had their outstanding cheesecake, with pistachio nuts and a blueberry compote, absolutely delicious. I can also strongly recommend the Ahi Tuna Crudo, which is one of the most diabolically inventive combinations of flavors I've been fortunate enough to taste. I had it like a year ago and I think about it all the time. Also the smoked walleye dip is amazing, and just every single thing I've had is very thoughtfully crafted. In particular you should consider bringing an out-of-town visitor here because there are some deliberately Minnesotan touches throughout the menu. Come here before a show at Orchestra Hall! Or when you're doing things at the Minneapolis Convention Center! Or, indeed, do what I did and park on the street nearby (free after 6pm) and then walk a few blocks to the State or Orpheum. I feel very very good about my choice to dine at Breva on this occasion.

(This review is from April but it's taken me a while to actually submit it) Our party of 6 dropped by on a Saturday night and they were luckily able to accommodate us for dinner. The service was great - our server was attentive and kind -- and when we asked her about her preferences she was direct and to-the-point. For our appetizer, we opted for the tuna crudo. It was a nice balance of flavors. Not too salty or citrusy, and not too fishy either. The avocado, burned bits, and fish paired well together. For my main, I had the guajillo short ribs on a bed of polenta (I don't think this is on the menu anymore though). This is a RICH and filling dish. The short ribs were well braised, and the sauce was thick. The first few bites were super flavorful and enticing, but after a while it was a bit much for me. I didn't end up eating it all -- but a few of my coworkers finished theirs. I am a big believer in always getting dessert if you're not quite full - and boy was I glad I did. The affogato was delicious (though admittedly a bit too melted for my taste). Seemed like a skimpy scoop of ice cream, but I was okay with that! This restaurant is tucked away, and sort of dim lit but I really enjoyed it. If you're in Minneapolis and not sure where to go, I'd encourage you to give it a try!

Went to Minneapolis to see a Vikings vs Bengals game and of course we had to check out the cuisine Minneapolis had to offer. We came in super late but Breva was open and still serving some food! The place looks nice and clean and I really enjoyed the ambiance. It has a nice boujee feeling so I would recommend dressing up just a little bit but nothing crazy. The food was pretty good but I wouldn't say it was outstanding! I will say though that the walleye dip was one of the best ones that did kind of make my eyebrows raise. The food hit the spot and it was pretty satisfying. Rey was our waitress and she was such a delight to have and she was patient and kind to us. We had a great experience!

The Sundae
Julia S.

It's a beautiful spring evening, perfect for an excellent meal in a beautiful setting. Breva fit the bill perfectly. Located in the Hotel Ivy, this restaurant is bright and inviting. With neutral colors and a lot of natural materials, the space is calm and contemporary. Think casual elegance. Big windows and mirrors let in lots of light, and the gorgeous bar makes for a lovely focal point. It's a really pretty space. It would be fabulous for a pre-show meal, date night, or special family dinner. My dining companions raves about the smoked walleye dip, and I thoroughly enjoyed my tomato basil bisque. It had a pleasing acidity and silky-smooth texture that was set off by Parmesan crisps and butter croutons. It was also topped with fresh herbs including--bliss--fresh dill. What a lovely treat! For the mains, my companions chose the short ribs and brick chicken, both of which they loved. They also shared the Brussels sprouts, which also earned rave reviews. As for me, I ordered the roasted cauliflower. It was absolutely gorgeous thanks to the multicolored cauliflower and the beautifully golden romesco sauce. Crispy and chewy oyster mushrooms added umami. Crushed red pepper flakes provided a pleasing heat that built slowly. More fresh herbs (including the joy that is dill)? Yes please, and thank you kindly. This main was truly a delight for all of the senses. For a side, I had the sautéed greens, which were Swiss chard. They were seasoned with garlic, chili, and lemon and cooked to perfection. For dessert, my companions had the cobbler--rhubarb and strawberry. It came topped with a generous scoop of ice cream. I enjoyed the ice cream sundae. Giant scoops of gelato came nestled among artfully arranged chantilly and brownies, all topped with hazelnuts and amareno cherries. It was so good. I did my best, but I only managed to get through about three quarters of it. I would also be remiss to not point out the fun drink options. In addition to a respectable wine and cocktails menu, they have some great zero proof options. I had their non-alcoholic margarita, which was perfect for the warm weather--tart and refreshing. I then had their NA mule, which I liked even more. A little bit spicy in addition to the tart and sweet, it was just what I wanted. Delicious! Add in excellent service from Connor, and you have a great experience overall. We found that we could easily carry on a conversation, but we did come in right as the restaurant opened. It might get noisy later on.

Truffle French Fries
Erin V.

I've now been lucky enough to eat here a couple times and it's in the top 5 places that will be on my repeat! Along side the Hotel Ivy and with an added twist of Masa&Agave below here is the witty Breva with a fantastic dinning room full of light and just great vibe! My kick off and what i want to have almost everyday is the Ahi Tuna Crudo. I know I could never recreate it Ahi Tuna, Citrus, Radishes, Rhubarb, Avocado and with Maple Tamari... This time i was hankering for a burger and fries... i got that and sssooo much more! The seasoning on the truffle fries can i have that on everything??? They are the it of truffle fries for me and mini me cause well shes a snob for truffle fries plus she killed hers and mine! The Breva Burger- cooked perfectly with the pairing of bacon-onion jam and ellsworth aged cheddar. Made my hubs jealous that i got to have it for Mom Daughter Date Night! Mini did the Skirt Steak & Frites with chimichuri and she chose truffle fries...she was the winner of the clean plate club which is huge cause girl has chicken tender tastebuds! We brought home our cheesecake (frcxen sooo good) hands down the best - ever had a blueberry compote and pistachios cheesecake... ya me either.. a combo you wanna try! I wont get into all the other things cause id hate to ruin the surprise but this a spot to try over and over again!

I visited Breva during restaurant week & they did not disappoint. We arrived before our scheduled reservation so they seated us at the bar to grab a beverage during happy hour. We ordered the Tamarindo Margarita & it was very good. The restaurant is setup beautifully & is a perfect spot for date night or to meet up with friends. If you are going to order an appetizer you MUST get the smoke walleye dip. It's DELICIOUS! I got the Guajillo Braised Short Rib with creamy polenta and pickled radish & would order it again! 10/10 service & food! There is plenty of paid parking near the restaurant but it's pretty spendy. I'd recommend driving around to try and find paid street parking before paying $16 plus paid ramp parking.

Lukewarm and not great

Review for breakfast only!! Stayed at hotel Ivy and they have breakfast not in the actual restaurant but in the bar section of the hotel- very expensive for lukewarm food and very slow service - I felt sorry for the poor lone server Coffee was bitter and not great- would have preferred going out to eat at a different place for breakfast but was in a rush to get somewhere else I'd be interested in trying their dinner and new wine menu as that looks pretty decent

Amalfi Spritz
Molly B.

Had a great date night at Breva! The food was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. The burger is one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, great beef blend and accompaniments. It was cooked perfectly to my expectations. Husband had the short rib and it was super tender with a great smoky sauce. Also enjoyed the burrata as a starter - it had roasted pepitas on top instead of being served with bread, and it was a delicious change. The pepitas had a nice nutty flavor that paired well with the burrata and blackberries. Split some gelato to finish off the meal and dear lord it was some of the best chocolate gelato I've ever tasted. The restaurant itself has a cozy cafe/bistro vibe and a nice bar area. Perfect place to grab a drink before catching a show at the Minnesota Orchestra. My husband enjoyed the wild rice negroni (nice nod to Minnesota) and the woodsman, which came smoked at the table. I loved my Amalfi Spritz - it was light, citrusy, and effervescent. Good service, everyone was friendly and attentive. Water was refilled at a good pace throughout the meal and our server made some wonderful recommendations. Per her excellent advice, do not miss out on the truffle aioli with the truffle fries. It was to die for!! You can see the bits of black truffle throughout the aioli and it had such a great flavor. There's a few options for parking - if you spend $75 or more at Breva they will provide complimentary valet parking. There's a parking ramp across the street and limited street parking on the block Hotel Ivy is on. Protip: there is more street parking along 12th st between Marquette & 2nd Ave S and the meters are free after 6pm - only half block away from the restaurant.

Excellent dinner at Breva during restaurant week! Went in planning to order 2, 3-course meals but ended up ordering 3! Our waitress was amazing and knew the menu inside and out to make recommendations. Appetizers: honey chicken wings, walleye dip, and beet salad. Star appetizer was the walleye dip! Smoky, creamy, delicious! The accompanying chips are like extra thick tortilla chips. The chicken wings were falling off the bone tender -- must be stewed and fried -- Yum! Mains: chicken, pork chop, and burger. The chicken was fried well, it was a nice, thin cutlet. Overall, the dish had a bit too much salt where I couldn't finish the rice. The pork chop was cooked a beautiful medium. The chop came cut off the bone and was a nice compliment to the beans. The first bite totally had me deceived that it was something other than a pork chop! The burger was nice and greasy like a diner burger. The bacon-onion jam was excellent and would take a jar of that home! The only improvement I could recommend is to cut the onion pieces smaller to make a more smooth jam. Desserts: cheesecake, sundae, and affogato. Cheesecake was tall and fluffy with a nice layer of vanilla bean whipped cream and well-balanced thickness of graham cracker crust! Could've had a bit more blueberry sauce -- that was delicious and I wanted more! The sundae was well-balanced with flavors and textures -- gelato, whipped cream, cherries, brownie pieces. The star dessert was the affogato. That coffee was superb! Simplicity done well! I'll be coming back for more!

We had heard about Prohibition before, and given its historical significance in the Foshay Tower,…read morewe had to check it out! Located inside the Foshay Tower, there's street and valet parking available! We entered through the W hotel lobby and took the elevator up to the 27th floor! We were met by a fun, retro-inspired lounge with many couches and tables available in a 360-degree set up. It has Prohibition-themed decor, but I wouldn't quite call it a speakeasy, as there wasn't any guise to entering or accessing the space. My only critique is that the space is quite dated, but not in a cool way. It could really use an update to the paint and interior to maintain itself as a "destination" versus just another hotel bar with a view. The bartenders were quite friendly and helpful during our visit. We had an Old Fashioned and a Paper Plane during our visit! Both cocktails were absolutely delicious and perfectly made. Now, at around $26 each, I would expect that level. Overall, a cool, historical spot to grab a drink!

Their drinks are well-made and aren't shy on the spirits. Take the elevator to the 27th floor. It's up to you how you figure out how to get to that floor (suggest asking the front desk.) The elevators open up right into the bar. It's very cool.

I come to MSP often for work, and it's always a challenge to find a decent, healthy meal late in…read morethe evening downtown. Fortunately, the Earth Bowl at Star fits the bill and will probably be a go-to on future trips. It's a nicely seasoned, balanced, and clean-tasting assortment of greens, other vegetables, grains, and optional protein (shrimp was a good choice). And the generous pour of cab sauv complemented it well. Food aside, the space is very inviting and calming (and geometrically interesting, being circular in design), perfect for catching up on some reading during my meal. Service was also pleasant. The only thing is that there wasn't much else on the menu that appealed to me personally, so I'm hoping the bowl isn't something temporary or seasonal. In any case, I look forward to my next visit.

I've been wanting to hit up Star Bar since it opened. I had a good feeling about the happy hour…read moremenu. It didn't disappoint. The food was great and the drinks were too. They even have hh in Friday. There's a lot to choose from on the hh menu. My friend and I shared wings, crab cakes, Brussels sprouts, and the whipped feta toast. All were delicious and portions are generous. Wings had a nice crisp and were substantial, not tiny. The whipped feta toast is a sleeper though, and prob the one I enjoyed most. Lots of accoutrements, super tasty. The sidecar was great and so was the Benedictine Manhattan cocktail. Strong but well balanced. We were greeted with a warm and thoughtful welcome, esp considering what's happening in our city rn. Staff were friendly and service was prompt. Nice, upscale ambiance and decor. It makes for a great after work happy hour downtown or a great spot for a more formal date night. Located inside the Indigo hotel. Plenty of on street metered parking on surrounding blocks. Will be back.

Upon entry, there's no host stand or sign telling guests to seat themselves. Our group of 3 sat down at a dirty table and waited 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us or clearing it off. I finally went to the bar to ask if we had a server, and the bartender pointed to a staff member on their phone behind the bar. Our waitress eventually came over to take our drink order, but she didn't bother to clear the table or introduce herself. After bringing our drinks, she then informed us dinner service had ended 30 minutes earlier. This information would've been nice to know upfront! The Rooftop Bar is so cute, great views, and has SO much potential because the space itself is great. I just hope management sees this as an opportunity to improve the guest experience because the service was honestly shocking, and not in a good way!
