They had some nice lunch specials but none of them caught my eye so I had the chicken taco pizza. It tasted fresh and that's exactly what I needed. It was served with sour cream and salsa and topped with lettuce, tomato and olives. The other 2 in my group got the lunch walleye sandwich with chips and the avocado chicken sandwich (she normally always gets a burger). They both said it was ok. I was the happiest with mine. We also shared onion rings and they were decent.

Every time I leave Crooked Pint, I just end up feeling... unsatisfied. It's not bad, but the food always seems to be missing that extra kick of flavor. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Mad Pepper Juicy Lucy, expecting something spicy but instead, it was completely mild and kind of bland. To make matters worse, the service was pretty slow and our server didn't seem very attentive. If you're just looking to grab a drink and maybe an appetizer during happy hour, it's fine for that. But if you're after a meal that really hits the spot, I'd say there are better options nearby.

We had 2 elote bowl boxes (pretty full) that we returned for, but were told they were gone. This was a birthday dinner, so that's a bit tough- but I guess ill just have to expect that from now on.

Was able to get seated quickly. I ordered Shrimp Kisses for an appetizer, The Voyage(Mixed Greens & Cider Glazed pork chop) paired with a glass of Reisling for the dinner. The appetizer and greens were on the table quickly and were perfectly prepared and garnished. They really were beautifully made. Black sesame smear on the dish and greens came onion for garnish, great presentation! The shrimp was full-flavored and the sweet chili glaze had just enough heat to make you appreciated, but it was not overwhelming. 7/10 would love to know how to make this for outdoor barbecues My main plate came with a bone in chop bedded on mashed potatoes, and blistered brussels sprouts (which had a wonderfully nutty flavor) presented with a smear of butternut squash. Pairing the chop with the Riesling elevated the dish that much more. I enjoyed every bite, and didn't feel bad picking up the bone and eating the little bit of meat left on it. I asked if I wanted dessert and I wasn't really keen on doing it until I saw the apple pie offering with some type of amazing ice cream. That dish was the perfect ending for the meal. The pie crust was literally one of the best I've ever had where it just melts in your mouth with a buttery finish. So delicious ! My server Ashley was on-point the whole dinner, very friendly to accommodate seating request and made me feel welcome to come and have a great dinner. Great job Ashley!

I had heard good things from coworkers so it seemed like a nice place to try! It was nearly empty in the restaurant when we got there so it was surprising that it took quite some time to get drinks and our orders put in. I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was so acidic I couldn't even finish it. We would've ordered more drinks but our server didn't come back until we were about done with our food. When the food came out it all looked amazing but the size difference between the halibut on each plate was a bit surprising. It didn't seem like it was actually pistachios crusted either. Two dishes had a side of broccolini on them and it was just steamed, no seasoning or anything. I ordered the steak and shrimp which the steak was amazing and cooked perfectly but the Cajun sauce was quite bland. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience but I'm not sure I'd be back just based off how slow the service was.

We arrived straight from the airport with our carry-on luggage, and the staff kindly took our suitcases and stored them at the coat check while we ate. It was a thoughtful touch that made the experience much more comfortable. The restaurant has a classic steakhouse vibe that's upscale without feeling stuffy or pretentious. It struck a nice balance between polished and comfortable. We were seated promptly, and our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can't remember her name, but she did an excellent job throughout the meal. At her recommendation, we started with the Summer Heirloom Tomato Salad ($16.95), made with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, goat cheese, pesto, and balsamic vinaigrette. It was fresh, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. For my entrée, I asked for another recommendation and ordered the Blackened New York Strip Steak Sandwich ($28.95), served with arugula, tomatoes, white cheddar, ancho mayo, and a side of fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and the fries were crisp and delicious. It was exactly what I was in the mood for after a day of travel. My colleague ordered one of the fish entrées and thoroughly enjoyed it as well, so we both left impressed with our meals. The prices were fair for the quality of the food, portions, and service. From the attentive staff to the excellent meal, everything exceeded expectations. It was a great first dinner in Minneapolis, and I'd happily return the next time I'm in the area. 5 stars

Don't get me wrong, all the sides are tasty but their creamed spinach is my favorite. The char on the lamb chops was perfect, crusty and packed with so much flavor the mint chimichurri was unnecessary. I ended up bringing one chop and two bones home because I do not gnaw bones in public! :D The chops were cooked to a nice mid-rare and they were very juicy; definitely made me mumble OMG at my first bite. For dessert qRC was brought a birthday brownie slice with whipped cream and a candle. I had the Door County Cherry pie and the house-made pie crust finished with sugar crystals was so satisfying. Not too sweet and a nicely tart cherry filling made it delectable. Our server was excellent, never intrusive but always checking in and filling water or clearing plates. I'm mad I don't recall his name!
