    Impossible burger w/tater tots ($10). Crappy bun, but for $10, it's hard to complain.
    Kedar D.

    Despite having lived in this neighborhood for collectively nearly 5 years, I somehow never went inside Mortimer's until recently. It's a tough place to rate, so I'm giving it my standard 3 stars (which is NOT a bad review in my book). It's a dive-bar with cement floors, pinball machines, a small patio where people smoke, and lots of drunk and/or quiet old-timers. I like that they have Sociable Ciderwerks Freewheeler on tap, along with a Clown Shoes Mango Kolsch. They also have tater tots ($5) and golden fries ($5) which are tasty. I got an Impossible burger ($10) which is dirt-cheap as it also came with fries. This was a perfectly no-effort implementation of the burger. I'm not sure the bun is vegan, but it wasn't good anyway, so I didn't eat it. Come to Mortimer's for a laid-back time with decent taps, divey atmosphere and tater tots. Get an Impossible burger if you're hungry. Keep your expectations low and you'll be fine.

    I really want to love this place. It's so close to home and has ownership that that clearly knows how good food and service should be done. Just not at this location. This was our second visit and we found the service to be a bit slow and sloppy each time. I would expect a simple BLT to be executed perfectly. I mean, it's just bacon, lettuce and tomato. The bacon could have been flashed in the oven or skillet; it was room temperature. The tomato was just one slice per 1/2 and had not been cored properly. I know not to expect much out of a tomato in May in Minnesota but...there are ways to make it better. Then they ran out of oregano vinaigrette. On a Saturday night. This is a good place for music and a beer. Don't expect much more than that.

    Dry rub chicken wings. Horrible!

    This is hands down the worst bar I'm Minnesota. I'm a bar reviewer and when I say this place should not be in business, I mean it. the drinks are really watered down and they save there bottles to refill. can u say bacteria. the food is always over cooked, sides watered down. the employees are not pleasant at all. the older white laddie is ridiculously rude. they don't smile. they all look angry and mumble under there breath. I'm sitting here now watching this. this is not how you make wings. the grease is definitely old because everything taste the same. anytime the chicken bones fall apart with the chicken that means it's old and freezer burned. Guys please stop giving these people your hard earned money. go to a bar that appreciates your busines.

    Is there a parking lot ? is it difficult to find parking on weekend nights?

    You will be so drunk when you leave you have no business bringing a car. Ha ha. But seriously folks, yes there is some parking in the back, and street parking isn't too bad, you will find a spot and not need to pay for it.

Wood + Paddle is located inside of the Royal, it's their hotel restaurant. On my first night in Minneapolis, I'd arrived to the hotel for check-in around dinner time. Not sure where to go and tired from the flight, I headed down to the lobby and walked over. When I asked if I could get a table for 1, she asked me if I would be comfortable with eating at the bar. It was a Sunday night, so I think she wanted to reserve tables for parties of two or more. I was fine with it, but I noticed there were quite a few empty tables. A few days later, I had lunch with a colleague here. We got seated at a table, and the service was really good. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we kept our lunch within our time requirements so we could get back to the conference without issue. The food was really good. I tried to order or sample local or MN specialties during my trip. Below are the menu items that I tried: - Bison Burger with Fries - State Fair Cheese Curds (w/ house made, smoked ketchup) - Pork Chop (w/ a Norwegian inspired sauce) - Habanero Wings

The ambiance was some of the best I have ever seen at a restaurant, as it was an old bank, there are some spots that are from the original building. It was so open and decorated beautifully. Despite being one open large room, the noise level was fine!! As it was my birthday, they greated me with a birthday card signed by the staff and I got a complimentary dessert. The food was fabulous; we had the chopped salad for an appetizer with their delicious pretzel bread and whipped butter. For dinner we had the mac and cheese, the mushrooms and the porterhouse steak. The steak will live in my dreams it was cooked to perfection wiith a chimichurri sauce to dip it in. The only thing I could maybe call not a re-order would be the mac, I think I wished I got the mashed potatoes but it was delicious nonetheless. Service was great, our wine and water glasses stayed full and they cleared our table off so fast. Definitely will be back!

Overall, I enjoyed the sandwich, but the service could have been a little better.

I ordered a mimosa tower to share and some friends had coffees and a the screw up which were l tasty. The towers are so cute and fun. Some items we ordered and loved were the Florentine omelette (the fontina hash browns were the star), the wood fired pancake (wow one of best I've had), and the piadina which was the perfect amount of spice.
