Fun night out with friends on a Saturday evening. You definitely need a reservation or you will have a long wait! The food was fresh and flavorful. The space was open and bright, although packed with many tables in a small space at the same time. Our server was friendly and prompt. It's pricier than restaurants in the area but a nice treat. read more

Food is awesome and the service is even better. Never a bad experience. Korean tacos, pulled pork buns and the cauliflower! Never, ever leave without trying the cauliflower!! Scallops are very good, burgers are great, fries are great. Steak sandwich is very good as well. I've become a regular and will continue with that status as its close to home and everyone is so friendly here. Need to try breakfast one of these times and I wish they had soups. Maybe this winter they will. Very creative dishes. But not weird-creative, if you know what I mean. read more

This place is a pretty killer little bar and restaurant. First off, an excellent Bloody Mary... What's more important than that? Nothing! Great ambiance, modern feel, smiling faces and diverse menu. A real chill, swank pad. read more

I've been coming here for years now. The food is ALWAYS delicious, and staff are very friendly. Great ambiance, too!

You serve very tasty food but that all goes out the window when everything is cold. All it would take is to warm the plates, why is that so difficult to do? Doll had the veggie hash and I had the standard two eggs, hash browns, sausage and toast. Again, the only thing of the meal that was hot was the coffee. read more

Had a great experience here! Service was great, food was great, ambiance was great! The steak sandwich was by far the best I have had! The chicken was also delicious. We will definitely be returning! My one piece of advice- Please extend your happy hour! Happy hour should never end before 6:00 p.m.!! read more

Coalition is a a newer restaurant in the 50th and France area. The interior is beautiful with wood, white, and faux plants. I had the chicken sandwich on focaccia with Brie, arugula, and balsamic fig jam. It came with a choice of fries, cole slaw or salad. The salad had a delicious light dressing and slivers of Parmesan on it. Beautiful and delicious! Bonus is parking is easy, they have a huge parking lot. I will definitely be returning here again! read more

Dinner after the Loppet. Everything was great, but the Shrimp bruschetta was especially delicious! It was busy, but the staff was very attentive. We'll be back! read more

Waited significantly past our quoted reservation, the hostess told me she informed her manager we had been waiting beyond our reservation, eventually were seated but ended up sitting there unacknowledged for 10 minutes, walked out without buying anything or being acknowledged by the same hostess. Called the manager to complain, who told us this was the first she was hearing of a delay. At the very least, she was honest in saying "I have no excuse for this, we totally screwed up." read more

This place is right in the heart of the bustling 50th/France area. It's light and bright. Had brunch & drinks. Cardamom donuts were pretty good, not too sweet. I had biscuits and gravy. Their biscuits are very good, nice and buttery. My friends enjoyed their meals too--shakshouka, biscuits Benedict. Definitely will be back to try some of the lunch and dinner options. read more

We just swung by for a bite to eat and were super pleased. It was busy so we sat at the bar. Michelle the bartender was awesome and very fun to talk to. She enlightened us about some new martinis and even gave us a little taste of one, The Corpse Revival. Mm mm good. We'll be back for sure. read more

I found myself at Coalition for a breakfast meeting and was surprised when Yelp informed me that I had been there before once I checked in. Once I walked inside I vaguely remembered dining there before and though I don't remember what I ordered I do know that it was lunch and yummy. For my meal that morning I opted for the Biscuit Benedict and am glad I did. I am a big Benedict fan to begin with and this one did not disappoint. Service was good and it has a small private lot so you don't have to worry about street parking. I will definitely find myself back at Coalition again but next time it won't be by chance. read more

Such a fantastic space. Parking is easy, food is great. Fun wine list and drink menu. It's solid, any day of the week.

My wife and I come to the twin cities a lot from North Dakota for sporting events, etc. We usually stay downtown and out of convenience go to places within walking distance downtown like Capital Grille, Oceanaire, Manny's etc. This trip we drove and stayed in Bloomington so we wanted to try some places we haven't gone yet so I made reservations for Coalition on Friday. We couldn't have made a better decision. When we are out of town we usually order a couple appetizers before our meal and the choices were very tough as everything looked good on their list. We ended up ordering the steak tacos and pork bao buns based on recommendations from the waitress. Both were amazing, but the tacos were so good that I had to be talked out of ordering a second order as my main course. My wife felt the same about both, but she like the bao buns a little bit better. For our meal I was going to do the salmon, but mentioned to the server I might have to be talked out of a second serving of the tacos. She convinced me I had to try the salmon and she was correct. They cook the salmon to order and I usually prefer mine more well done, but am always worried it might get dry. They cooked it perfect and the flavors/sauce were amazing. My wife ordered the tuna appetizer as she was pretty full from the appetizers. She loved that as well. The location is nice and the restaurant has a great feel to it. The servers all were very busy, but kept up well with the rush and were super friendly. I'm thinking you would want a reservation on the weekend as every table was full. You won't be disappointed and I will be back for sure next time we make it to the twin cities area. read more

Outstanding service and the food was excellent. Place was busy when the 4 of us arrived for lunch and we requested a table but lucky for us there were 4 seats together at the bar top. We cancelled our need for a table and were thanked by the staff by a free app! How about that for service. Bartender was very fun and personably and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you team Coalition! We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend the cauliflower app or the Kimchi tacos!!! read more

Out for a ride on the last warm Saturday and lunch at Coalition was a great addition. The service was fantastic and the food was quite good. Definitely a "return" candidate! read more

I keep getting the shakshouka because it's amazing! I've sampled other dishes and they have all been wonderful. The atmosphere is light and cheery and the staff has always been attentive and friendly. Definitely high on our list of dining options! read more

My Blueberry & Beet salad came with a black bug crawling around in it! Server was completely indifferent. Manager made excuses for not addressing the situation immediately because she was busy with the lunch rush. Only after asking to speak with the manager about how the situation was so poorly handled did we get some kind of compensation for the experience. We understand things happen but it was how it this was handled that made it a terrible experience. There's much better places to go to eat in the area that you'll get better service too! read more

I went here recently for the first time and I loved it! I didn't realize it was brunch, but I love brunch so I was pleased (brunch served til 3). I got a chicken sandwich with fries and a margarita. Chicken sandwich was AMAZING. made on ciabatta bread with Brie and jam. And the margarita was stronger than I anticipated. My grandma had a mimosa, which I enjoyed more than the margarita. read more

Had a great lunch today, with a good friend, got good service, great food. Nice ambiance, bit of a buzz but not difficult to talk. Try the "pick two," of which any two items would feed two people, you'll be taking some home with you unless you're sharing. read more

I'm so disappointed to be writing this because I really wanted to add Coalition to our neighborhood short list. We made reservations for brunch on a Sunday with my parents from out of town, we also brought our 9 month old. We arrived about 30 minutes early for our reservation, but I checked in thinking maybe we would get in early. I let the hostess know we had a baby and would need a high chair. The hostess said to come back in 10-15 minutes and we would be seated. We came back within the timeframe - the hostess said that because she didn't know we had a baby, there were only a couple tables available that would accommodate a high chair. Not only had I just spoken with her a few minutes ago, but I did tell her that we had a baby, so she must have been ignoring me at that time. We proceeded to wait 40 minutes past our original reservation, and nearly an hour from when I originally checked in. Multiple people were seated ahead of us, who both did and didn't have reservations. I was embarrassed as I wanted it to be a great experience for my parents, and with our little one we aren't able to go out to dinners when they come to town anymore (as he goes to bed at 6:30 pm!!) The server did acknowledge our wait, but didn't offer any compensation or forgiveness, other than the free donuts they give to all tables. Food is a 3.5. We definitely would have been back if we hadn't had this terrible experience waiting. read more

The coalition burger is fantastic! I got my burger medium with a side of fries. It was the perfect portion size. I would highly recommend!

10/10 recommend to everyone & anyone. The pull pork buns were perfection. And I absolutely LOVED the warm spinach salad (with the addition of salmon). read more

First off the food was excellent. I went there with my girlfriends to celebrate Christmas. Our server was less than enthusiastic and lacking to say the least. We were patient over our very long lunch but it was painfully obvious that this was not the profession for her. She was nice but lacked basic service. If the food wasn't so great I wouldn't have given it a 3 star. All four of us loved our food. I had the mushroom risotto, YUM!!! Great wine selection. This is a wonderful restaurant but if the service is poor, it really dampens the whole thing. read more

The food was okay, I got the classic breakfast. The hash browns and turkey sausage were bland. To be honest the best part was the toast. The part I disliked the most was a waitress was standing in the bar area and yelled at the host "MOVE." He was a young sweet kid and I didn't appreciate seeing that or knowing he has to deal with that. Staff can make or break a restaurant and with that combination, I won't be returning. read more

My wife and I live in the area and tried Coalition for dinner within their first 30 days. The cocktails were good, but the food was a huge disappointment. Two stars is generous. PS - Coalition is in Minneapolis. :-) read more

The food, atmosphere and service is wonderful! We shared the pineapple upside down pancakes, which were amazing. Order the eggs Benedict! They come on scratch-made cheddar biscuits that are to die for. Friends got the enchilada and eggs and the breakfast bowl. Both excellent choices! And you get free doughnuts with brunch! read more

Completely unimpressive Place. Dropped in for Friday night dinner. We were seated right away. Nice interior. But our waiter, who maybe was also a bartender? was awful. It was impossible to get his attention. My order was wrong but I didn't say anything because it took so long to get service. Didn't care for the cocktail but again didn't say anything. Honestly I can barely remember the food. We had a buratta starter that was good. The rest were diner quality salads with grilled meats added. We paid but then noticed it was raining so decided to ask for more service. Place had few people there at this point. Never stopped by the table but eventually brought another round so I asked to please have wine instead and that too was pretty unimpressive. Won't be back. Too many other great places nearby. read more

One great feature of the location was on-site parking. This is important in this busy part of town. The dining room was comfortable and well lit for dinner. I wasn't sure what to expect since many of the reports were about lunch and brunch. A friend had made a few recommendations, so we tried a couple recommendations and other items desired. We aren't big eaters, so ordering several items to share worked great for us. We shared the Steak Sandwich, the root hash, the grilled cauliflower, and an appetizer. The steak was great. It was tender and had enjoyable flavoring. The root hash was okay (it had been recommended). There wasn't any memorable flavor to the dish, although it was well made. The cauliflower was great. The sweet and spicy chili sauce provided awesome flavoring to the cauliflower. I would love the recipe for the sauce. We found the staff friendly and attentive. We would recommend the location and return based on this visit. read more

The drinks were good but the food wasn't all too exciting. We got the sausage and cheese board. The cheese was subpar quality but the bacon and apple toppings were good. We shared cauliflower and the scallops for dinner. The cauliflower was fried well but the sauce wasn't very good. The scallops were slightly undercooked and the sauce on the soba noodles wasn't very impressive. It wasn't very busy when we visited and the staff was all congregated talking so it was distracting during our meal. We likely won't be coming back. read more

My wife and I love this place. It has become our go to place for breakfast on the weekends and if we are able dinner as well. The food is great and Mickey Murphy is the best! We ask for her whenever we arrive and if she is here it makes the experience that much better. We highly recommend the restaurant but especially Mickey as the server- you will have a lot of fun!! read more

Nice early dinner time energy. Walked in early evening weekday... only availability was at bar. Staff was working hard and borderline overwhelmed. Ordered two Walleye entrees. Flavorful preparatio but not sure it was Walleye.... was not as tender or light as I would expect.... Server took it back offered alternative and did credit my bill. read more

After having breakfast here yesterday (for the first time), I'm surprised that we did not have to wait in line to get into this place! Terrific cheddar biscuit breakfast sandwich with bacon. Great coffee...a welcome relief from the Starbucks I am required to drink daily. Attentive and friendly service. I'd eat breakfast here every day if I didn't live in Seattle. read more

Enjoyed the Bloody Mary, cardamom mini donuts, and their version of eggs Benedict today. Portion size was big--the English muffin was perfectly toasted, just crisp enough so it wasn't soggy, shaved ham stacked high, and then a medium poached egg just as I requested. I could only eat 1/2 of the dish. Portion size was bigger than I was expecting for some reason. It was delicious! Great location. I'll definitely go back! read more

I had lunch here with a girlfriend for the first time. The service was horrible - and the food selection quite limited and VERY OVERPRICED. I guess they think they can get $22 for a salad + a COVID charge on top of it because they are at 50th and France in Edina. I'm sad cause I probably won't go there again. The food was fine but not worth the price. read more

When you cook a steak at home and it doesn't quite turn out, you don't send it back to the kitchen. That's how I felt about the ribeye. It was tough and over cooked. I didn't send it back to the kitchen because of Anthony Bourdain. As for the Minnetonka mule and everything else it was awesome. Had the watermelon salad, fried goat cheese, pork buns and the smoked salmon. All very good. Just don't order the steak. Lastly it is a loud restaurant, so a place that isn't very conducive to conversation--unless you want to hear everyone else's conversations. So if it weren't for the steak, this place would be a four star. read more

Kate made our experience. She was friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered the root vegetables hash with pulled pork and cabbage, as she recommended. It was delicious. We also ordered the biscuits and gravy, chicken salad and the smoked fish plate. Everything was great, including the bloody mary (lots of horseradish). read more

Went here for happy hour with 2 girlfriends. We ordered and shared a bunch of appetizers from both the main menu and happy hour menu. Our favorites were the cheese curds (the breading was light and the jam was delicious), the cauliflower, tostada, and sausage. There was nothing we did not enjoy. However, the night ended with one of us having to go and ask our server for the check. She was at the bar drinking a glass of wine and ignoring us. read more

Went to this for Saturday morning breakfast, servers were knowledgeable about the food and beverages. Very patient while waiting for us to order. We ordered the cheddar biscuit sandwich and pulled pots enchiladas. It was fresh and good with good flavor. Will come again read more
