    Lime leaf and mango and ginger ice cream pavlova
    Irene C.

    Outstanding meal! Interesting variety of dishes that were well executed. To start with, we had arancini and Bibb lettuce salad. Arancini were delightful- crisp exterior with creamy interior that was not too heavy. The salad was light and refreshing. The halibut with tom yum broth was delicious- the broth was flavorful and the halibut was perfectly cooked. The spaghetti Nero was incredible - the pasta was perfectly al dente and the seafood sauce was delectable. For dessert- we had the lime leaf pavlova- the mango paired perfectly with the ginger ice cream and coconut tapioca- always appreciate desserts that are just a bit different than the usual dessert options at restaurants. At the end, we were given some cookies- such a fun way to end the meal. Our server was excellent- she provided great recommendations. The space was modern and lovely. We didn't have a reservation was able to do a walk-in at the bar area which also had tables for 2.

    Not to be dramatic but this is one of the best places to eat in the Twin Cities and I will be dreaming of this menu for days, weeks, and probably months to come. Do not dine here if you're into mainstream dishes and lack of seasoning but DO dine here if you like flavor bombs and culinary mastery. Wish I took more photos but will highlight my favorites....starters: beef tartare, pasta: carmelle, main course as pictured: halibut, sides: spinach cheese curds (WOW) and dessert as pictured: chocolate budino. Impeccable service and attention to detail, and an equally delighting atmosphere to round out a perfect dinner.

    Outstanding!!! The bar menu is a perfect, no reservations needed in this seating area. Some apps I would highly recommend are the Black Truffle Arancini and the Beef and Pork Meatballs. The Talladega Burger was an excellent choice as well. The Cocktails: If you enjoy spirit forward drinks, go with the Oaxacan (a blend of Mezcal and bourbon), and not in the menu an excellent choice is the Huntsman. Celebrations: A nice little offering of Spoon and Stable, if you're celebrating anything, and I mean anything, you'll get a free homemade cotton candy.

    I came here for a nice dinner with my parents on a Sunday night. I made reservations online a couple days prior but the only available times were 8pm and after. You can make reservation for either the Chef's counter or the main dining room. I had the following: * (8/10) Oysters - Tasted very fresh, one out of the three was way bigger though. Presentation was nice with the horseradish topping and bottles of sauces like red wine vinegar. * (6/10) Venison Terrine - interesting dish but sorta hard to eat. The bread was not cut through and was really tough to pull apart. * (9/10) Capelletti - fantastic! I got the full portion and I loved the filling. The pasta is cooked al dente(?) not super soft, which isn't normally my favorite but it was a very unique taste with the brown butter * (6/10) Mini Beignets, didn't really feel like beignets more like mini donut holes. Also the dried apple slices and pretzel things were very hard. My parent both really liked the entrees, the Atlantic Cod and the Spotted Bass. My dad REALLY liked the bass, and wouldn't stop raving about it. My mom got the Toffee Butter Cake but said it was too sweet for her tastes. My dad also got a coffee, which they refilled for free. The interior was dim but really nice with the open kitchen and floor to ceiling windows cellar. Service was a bit slow to start but in general was very attentive. They were very detail oriented with switching out plates between courses, etc. Their bathroom was sooo nice. They also have paid valet parking. My family just parked on the street over. Seems like they change their dishes around and if I wanted to do another nice dinner, I would definitely go again! In total I spent around $245 for 3 people including tax and tip.

    We read about this place and couldn't get reservations, but someone said to go early and get bar seating. We came on a Friday evening and only waited like less than 5 minutes for a bar seating. We scored! I started off with a whiskey sour and man, it's one of the best whisky sours I've had, the foam was amazing, and it was the right balance of sweet and sour. Love it. I wish they added a luxardo maraschino cherry tho. For food- I got the bison tartare and my friend got the hamachi crudo. Both were excellent. My bison tartare was the best I've tried. It's really good. The only thing I didn't like was the socca. They had bread service so I just used that bread instead. Their bread was delicious too. Couldn't get enough. For my entree I got the spaghetti Nero. It's a fra diavolo with octopus, mussels, and prawns. A half portion was good enough. I was so full after this dinner. Everything was excellent! They came with some compliment dessert bites at the end. Totally recommend this restaurant! I'll come back whenever I get the chance to come back to Minneapolis.

    We visited Spoon and Stable for their New Year's Eve tasting menu. This is my 3rd Gavin Kaysen restaurant and as always - he doesn't disappoint. Some of the food we had was the best thing I have ever had - fois gras, pasta, all of it was very good! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating! The atmosphere itself is swanky and hip! I felt very sophisticated. The only downside, and I should have expected this from a tasting menu, I left hungry. Some times I feel you shouldn't leave hungry when paying that much for a meal.... Other than that everything was great! I need to go back and try ordering from the actual menu vs. going there for a tasting menu.

    We visited on a Sunday morning and were so glad we reserved a table online a few days ahead. By noon it was packed with a long line out the door. Parking can be a little tricky since it's street parking and paid, but it wasn't too hard to find a spot if you don't mind walking a couple of blocks. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the drinks to the brunch dishes. I highly recommend trying the croissant. It's huge, perfect for sharing, and absolutely yum! The steak was cooked beautifully and definitely a good deal for the price. I also loved sitting by the open kitchen and watching the chefs at work. It added a fun energy to the experience. The service was warm and welcoming, while still giving us space. Everyone we interacted with was professional, stylish, and friendly.

    Honey and Cream Cake

    Spoon and Stable always hits. My favorite dish is the Honey and Cream Cake. The crunch of the meringue is such a treat paired with the fluffy cake and cream. The Strawberry Cornmeal Tart with lemongrass ice cream was delightful too. Each cookie layer was perfectly baked. The strawberry and lemongrass flavors were very subtle. When we got the check they brought out additional lil sweets which was a nice touch. The host and staff at Spoon and Stable are consistently friendly and nice! The bar is gorgeous and the bar seats are comfortable. The bar stools near the front of the restaurant are a little tight and would be better for a lil dessert or apps and drinks. The dining room is comfortable but reservations do book out so plan ahead!

    My group came here for dessert and drinks. A lovely experience. We were able to walk in and get seats at the bar without waiting (it was earlier in the evening). The alcohol selection is vast. I ordered an espresso martini and it was perfect! I love the open space concept because it is visually stunning. However, I think they could decorate a bit more to break up the noise.

    I've been looking forward to eating here for the longest time. The appetizers we ordered were good. Especially the wedge salad. I ordered the STEAMED WALLEYE with crawfish étoufée, dirty carolina gold rice, crispy okra, spring onion. I'm sad to report that I did not enjoy my meal. The fish was bland and the étouffée was just ok. The creamy spinach was delicious. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong item so I'm looking forward to my next visit here.

    Sunday night was a bitterly cold and snowy night in Minneapolis and our visit here made it so worthwhile to make the jaunt into the elements! The 4 of us came in for my sons birthday as this was a place he had requested for our annual event to celebrate him for his 26th Bday. Our server Mark was amazing, he was professional yet personable, he was funny and and knowledgable of the food and the drink. I am personally not a foodie, my son and my girlfriend are adventurous eaters and took full advantage of the S&S menu. My sons stated goal that night was to eat as many different rypes of seafood as possible, and he was ecstatic. My sons girlfriend was super pleased with the GF options! The NA Drink menu was excellent! The Bison TarTare, the Oysters, and the Red Oak Salad started us off wonderfully! The Spotted Bass, Spaghetti Nero, the Cappeletti, Creamy Spinach and Broccolini were fantastic. And they even indugled the food Heathen that I am by allowing me to get the Burger off the bar menu. The finishing touches of dessets and the Bday Cotton Candy for my son was awesome. Once again it was Mark and the rest of the staff that really made the night.

    Scallop Crudo - Summer 2025
    Linda Y.

    This is one of my favorite spots in the city - you can really tell that they are dedicated to the work that they put in their dishes and value quality. The staff were great and our server Allison was so kind and helpful. We started with the Scallop Crudo which had a strong flavor profile of pineapple. It was almost like eating your crudo with a tropical-forward cocktail. It's definitely unlike anything I've tried before, but with the citrus flavors from the kumquat, it was delightful. The Bison Tartare was also very good and the flat chickpea/hummus chip paired so well. It was a whirlwind of flavors that almost leaned towards Mexican flavors. Highly recommend this one. Their heritage grain pastas all sounded so good but we decided to go with the Pappardelle that featured duck chorizo. Everything about this dish was SO good. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the savory sauce was full of flavor. There are two prices on the menu that reflect the size of the dish. The small portion was easily sharable between my partner and I, considering that we got 2 starters, the porkchop and a side of snap peas. I would recommend the large if that will be all that you're having. Our server noted that their Spaghetti Nero is typically always on the menu - this was another pasta we contemplated on getting. We also got the Pork Chop which was incredible - cooked perfectly well and the tamarind glaze was heavenly! We paired it with the Snap Peas which was a great combo. You got the grill taste from the Pork Chop and a nice smokey flavor from the Snap Peas. For dessert, we went with the Vanilla Sweet Pea Creme Brulee which was delightful. It almost reminds me of a subtle pandan-like flavor which I really enjoyed. Overall, always a solid spot for a special dinner!

    This is the 3rd or 4th time coming here and there is no moment in time where I questioned the flavors at this place. The service and ambiance are well balanced, which show a finesse for detail and care. As simple as possible, you have to eat and drink here. If you don't then you probably miss out on some of the best food in the Midwest, if not Central US. Don't pass this place up. Minneapolis is packed with great food but this is a staple to say the least.

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.

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.

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.
