    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.

    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!

    (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!

    The Sundae

    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

    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.

    Breva Burger
    Joan L.

    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!

    Burrata & Blackberries
    David P.

    First of all the best parts of the restaurant week experience was that the atmosphere, vibe, and staff were wonderful. Our server was very attentive and had knowledge of the menu and the restaurant week items. Now found out after that they comp parking. Would have been nice to know as well 21 dollars for parking is ridiculous in my opinion. Now for the food we started out with the tuna tartare and burrata. The tuna was ok but it was on basically guacamole and did blow me away. The burrata was good with the blackberries, however the cabbage was bitter and I would not recommend eating the cabbage with this item as rich, sweet, and very bitter, not a fan. The salmon was a great cut, fresh (not fishy), and I like that let you know how it will be cooked beforehand. The side of potatoes was very small and my wife is not one to complain on size. This even for her was wow they cheaper out. I had the short ribs was good and very tender. Probably the best item of the night. The parents was good and not overly salty as I have had at some places. Was a 4 star dish, would be five but I expected more spice with it and did not really get it. The pear apple cobbler (could honestly tell you it tastes the same as an apple cobbler you could not really taste any pear) was ehh. Definitely a great size and can be shared by two to three. The flavor is just average and I make this dish at home quite a bit. They clearly used more apple than pears as you could not even tell if a pear was used. So disappointing on that aspect. Overall was a good night just nothing really blew me away. As an avid chef I like places that give me a unique experience in food that I'm not often going to make at home. Nothing hear would be that hard to better or replicate making it a good solid 3 star, but lacking the woes to get 4 or 5.

    Guajillo Braised Short Rib
    Leah T.

    Came here for restaurant week and had a reservation for 5. We could not be seated until 5. The food was delicious especially the braised short ribs and truffle fries. It was a cutely decorated restaurant and service was fantastic. The other nice touch was the completely night cap downstairs after dinner.

I recommend spending money at Porzana, Bar La Grassa, Bellecour... anywhere but here. This place is a joke for food. So embarrassing!

The setting that made the experience always so special, before they move to their residency inside the Guthrie Theater under a new name. I cannot wait to see what they do next. Every dish truly hit it out of the park. From the Three Sisters salad with bison and squash to the fried quail and rich, earthy mushroom soup, each plate showcased Indigenous ingredients and traditions in a way that felt both thoughtful and exciting. This is not your typical dining experience and that's exactly what makes it so satisfying. Even the margarita was a standout: beautifully presented and just as delicious as it looked. I will definitely miss this riverfront location, but I am so excited for their next chapter.

    This place totally lived up to the hype, in my opinion!…read more I got the maple pepita latte ($10), sweet potatoes ($18), bison skirt steak tacos ($55), and spoonbread ($15). The latte came garnished with rose petals and was not too sweet. It was a nice way to start my meal. Then came the sweet potatoes, and oh my God, I think they were the best sweet potatoes I've ever had. They were unbelievably, delectably sweet and cooked perfectly. They had an excellent char while being soft on the inside. And the sweetness was complemented nicely by the maple chili crisp, which had just a bit of a kick. The bison skirt steak tacos were also delicious. The bison was so tender and juicy. Full of flavor and cooked superbly. My server wasn't kidding when she said the tacos were big enough to share between a few people. I ate the tacos by myself, and I was beyond stuffed. Alas, I wasn't a big fan of the spoonbread. The flavor wasn't bad, but I didn't care for the texture, which was a little too coarse for me. The dessert was gluten-free, and I could REALLY tell. It was also too spicy for me. The spoonbread was drenched in hot honey. But the sweet potatoes, tacos, and attentive & friendly service more than made up for it. The restaurant isn't cheap (especially for a solo diner), but I've seen worse prices for worse food. And I'm eager to check out their new location the next time I'm in Minneapolis. Note - if you pay with a credit card, it does come with a 3% fee.

    I have hesitated to write this review. But in the end - I had to be honest about my overall…read moreexperience. Demi had been on my list for a long time, and we finally decided to experience it. There is a lot to say about this restaurant, and most of it is very good. The ambiance had perfect energy. It felt lively, but never loud or overwhelming. It struck a really nice balance for a special night out. You could comfortably enjoy the experience and conversation. The service was exceptional. Not just friendly, but incredibly knowledgeable. Every course and every pairing was explained in detail, and the staff clearly knew their craft. Service - they absolutely delivered. We chose The W.C. Whitney Menu. I had the Premium Wine Pairing, which was excellent and very well done. My wife chose the Temperance Pairing since she does not drink alcohol. This was one of the few disappointments of the evening. Many of the drinks were designed to mimic the taste of cocktails and wine, while my wife does not care for the taste of alcoholic drinks. When it came to the food, there was a range. Some dishes were truly outstanding and worthy of Demi's reputation. Some were good but not exactly great. And honestly, a few were mediocre. With a tasting menu, you expect some variation, but at this level and at this price, mediocre does not cut it. Here's what it really comes down to. I would rate the experience itself 5-stars. But the cost of the evening did not come close to matching what was delivered. I was not looking for, or expecting value! We spent over $700 for the evening. Demi is very good. The service is exceptional. The ambiance is awesome. Much of the food is outstanding. But in my opinion, the overall experience did not justify the extremely high cost.

    We had such a great experience at Demi tonight! After a not so great experience at Spoon and Stable…read more(same chef), I had low expectations. I am so happy I thought wrong. We were greeted at the entrance, jackets were taken, and drinks offered while we waited. The waiting space was small and a little awkward but it was fun to get serve right away with a friendly bartender. Seating is around the small, intimate bar where you observe the chefs preparing every dish for the night. The servers are shared so you don't get just one person for the night. We are not wine people, but I'd still recommend doing the wine pairings ,which is an extra add on. It was really fun to learn about the different wines and how they tasted with the plates. There is some down time in-between courses but nothing ever felt too long. It seemed like a perfect time to converse and enjoy watching the chefs do their thing. It took about 2.5hrs to finish our nine course meal. The courses were so tasty! I was a little nervous because of previous reviews but we really felt like every dish was put together nicely. We were so impressed with how intricate each dish was and how many ingredients came together. A favorite was the wagyu ribeye. Just so delicious. Yes, I wanted more, but it was about trying small plates and things you've never thought you'd try before. I was full and buzzed by the end of it. I also really appreciated getting the menu at the end of dinner. The whole time I was like what the heck did I just eat? Now, I can reflect on it even more. You are seated next to people but there was plenty of space where I didn't feel like my privacy was invaded. Everything about this experience felt intimate and well put together. Such amazing talent and delicious meals put together right in front of us.

    My wife and I spent a weekend at Alma's Inn and had dinner there on a Saturday night in late March…read moreand it was simply fabulous from the minute we arrived to our departure on Sunday. Our dinner on Saturday was superb -- we opted for wine pairings with each course and they were spot on. I don't think you can go wrong with any of selections on the menu, but our highlights were the celery root soup, the toasted rye & buttermilk crepe and the roasted duck breast & confit. As good as our dinner was, the service was every bit as good -- the staff at Alma was a highlight of our dinner and of our stay.

    Wow! Restaurant Alma(not the cafe)…read moreCan't believe it's taken me years to visit here, I had an amazing 3 course dinner here with the wine pairings All the dishes were fantastic and my friend and I shared all of our dishes so we could experience most of the menu The service here was truly excellent from coat check to our server Miles who was super friendly and knowledgeable Everyone we encountered was so passionate about the food it made me feel good especially as the quality was so high! There wasn't anything I didn't like except dessert was not included in our meal so for extra $ we did split one and was delicious They did send me home with some mini coconut macaroons which was a nice touch Ambiance - was lovely sitting at the counter, restaurant was full but not crazy loud for a Saturday night! The menu changes seasonally so I'll be back in the fall to try that Parking- free street parking If your looking for a high quality tasting menu book here
