They did their own spin on the viral burger with melty hot cheese. This burger DID NOT MISS!! As always the burger was so juicy and the shoestring potatoes gave it great texture and the dijon sauce gave a nice acidic touch to balance the richness of the wagyu beef. Paired it with their crispy tower onion rings and truffle aioli. We went on a Tuesday night which was half off a bottle so that was a win. Our server highly recommended the creme brulee and as a creme brulee snob it was one of the best I've had. Being downtown the restaurant was packed but the service stayed consistent. Our food came out hot and the server did a great job of checking in on us. We also stayed past the time they closed talking and laughing and we never felt rushed to hurry up and leave.

I could do with out that part, it was tender though. Truffle Fries Crispy outside, much like McD, but no limpness after 20 mins, truffle flavor was still there after 2 hours. Didn't even need the sauce. Staff were welcoming and friendly.

While staying at the Royal Sonesta hotel for a conference, I dined at the Wood + Paddle Eatery two…read moretimes during my stay. 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

Food came out fairly quick after ordering, but it wasn't too busy during 5:30-6pm on a weekday…read more You can customize the fries and how well the patty is done. Bison burger patty had a charred taste. The garlic dry rub wings have a good salt and dryness to them. The flourless chocolate torte is a satisfying dessert. Rich, creamy, tangy, and indulgent. I feel like they are missing out on a happy hour menu.

Everyting on the menu is explained and recommendations are given easily. Food...fantastic. I'm not a huge steak person, so I got the short rib ragu. It was so rich and decadent. Drinks were also delicious. The one downfall is sides are are a la carte, none come with your meal. But the sides are delicious. I especially loved the elote corn. I was way too full for dessert, but the dessert menu looked promising. If you're looking for a "wow" experience, check out Stock & Bond.

I've held off on writing this review because I wanted to make sure that I put the right words to the story Spoon and Stable helped me build for my ten year wedding anniversary. My husband and I like to do quirky celebrations, and for ten years of marriage I wanted to celebrate it and spend time being intentional about the growth and love we've shared for this decade of life together. To say Spoon and Stable hit it out of the park is an understatement. We got a space near the kitchen to watch the chefs make the magic happen, and EACH dish was simply incredible. I have never in my life had an eyes closed "MMMMMM" moment, but I had multiple moments of wow all starting with drinks at the bar and ending with a perfect desert that we took with us. Don't skip the oysters, don't skip the extras, don't skip the witty banter with your service staff, DON'T SKIP OUT ON THIS PLACE. It is absolutely worth every single penny.

GIRL DINNER IS A 10/10!!!!!…read more $20 for a drink, fries, a salad, and some pasta?? YES PLEASE! Honestly I'd come here every day if I could. I hope they never stop girl dinner.

Service is always great here and the vibes are always perfect. I'm a big Red Rabbit fan!!!

We were lucky enough to snag a canceled…read morereservation and were seated immediately upon arrival, despite the restaurant being bustling and busy. I wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor patio as the dining room was a bit loud and dim, but that seems to be part of the restaurant's modern rustic Italian aesthetic. As for the food and service, everything was top-notch. Our order was taken promptly and both our drinks and dishes arrived quickly without feeling rushed. I ordered the spirit-free Lavender Revolution, which leaned a little sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The burrata was outstanding--light, refreshing, and incredible on the toasted bread. The calamari was equally impressive -- perfectly seasoned, crispy, and tender with every bite. For our entrée, we shared the Vodka Rigatoni with added shrimp and it was absolutely delicious--rich, fresh, and comforting without feeling too heavy. Overall Red Rabbit delivered a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. We can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu!

Do yourself a favor and go to Giulia if you find yourself in Downtown Minneapolis!…read moreThey have seasonal menus, which immediately wins my loyalty. The spring menu is full of fresh ingredients in the sauces and pasta fillings. I had the artichoke cheese pasta with a spicy creamy spinach sauce and let me tell you, it was PERFECT! Pasta was Al dente, filling was perfectly portioned and the creamy spinach sauce was light and spicy! For appetizer we had the fried polenta and it took me back to my childhood in my Italian grandma's kitchen. Cause that was a snack grandma would make for us. Chocolate pana cota was a pleasant surprise with a drizzle of olive oil on top, it was an explosion of flavors!

For breakfast, I ordered two slices of their cinnamon French toast, served with two eggs and bacon.

We couldn't resist taking some goodies to go, so we went home with a lemon bar and one of their GF Fruity Pebbles bars. ​If you're looking for a delicious, incredibly gluten-free friendly brunch spot with a great atmosphere, you have to check this place out!

They also had a delicious iced banana bread latte on their special menu...the banana bread cold fold was so, so good.

Overall, great service, quick meal and really delicious food.
