great food. Good service. I would eat a daily meal here if they allowed me to reserve a table

Wow! 5 stars on every level! Beautiful restaurant - 5 stars! Smells incredible when you get within 50 feet - 5 stars! Killer service / killer drinks - 5 stars! Unbelievable pork chop!!! - 5 stars x 10!!! Started with an order of all sides for the table. Cheese curds and cauliflower were legit! As mentioned the pork chop was INSANE. Pasta was good. The fish dishes rocked. GET THE PORK CHOP!!! Drinks were great! Beautiful people were an added plus. read more

Spoon and Stable - Right: gin + tonic - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This unique restaurant has delicious food and atmosphere served in a 1907 renovated horse stable. My husband and I made a reservation a day before and we were quickly show to our table as we let the hostess know. The complimentary bread was warm and served with cottage cheese? My husband ordered the roasted monkfish and I got the pork chop. The arugula and 'nduja were really flavorful and complimented well with the monkfish, which had soft lobster bite to it. The pork chop was great with its tamarind glaze and the curry jus. The service was good but it was nothing special. The waitress was friendly but besides from the usual pleasantries, she didn't seem to put effort into making our experience special. We had a great time overall and would recommend to other people to try. read more

We went for our anniversary on a Monday night. First time leaving my newborn with a babysitter. Our experience at spoon and stable didn't start with a bang. We had an 8pm reservation but came early to hopefully get a cocktail at the bar. The corner window table in the bar area was available but the hostess said it was reserved for larger parties. Meanwhile, a party of 2 came in behind us and asked a different hostess about the corner table and she said they can have it. When we confronted the lead hostess, she wasn't friendly or helpful at all and was rather rude to us. She didn't mention anything to the party of 2 that it was for larger parties. I was irritated because the bar is first come, first serve and we clearly got there first. Someone needs to give her a crash course on Customer Service 101. At least a smile could've calmed us down. NOTE: when you see a bar spot, don't ask the hostess, just go and get the table or bar stools because the hostess' rules of table capacity limits don't apply in real life. So we ended up waiting for a bar spot and after 10 minutes of standing, sat at the bar and had a cocktail and conveyed our frustration to the bartender. The bartender let the manager know.... And then the evening took a magical twist. The manager was apologetic and got us a table right away. The manager was the hero in the story. Her name is Laura and her smile warmed up the room. So loving and so caring. She deserves a big raise! Now onto the food! Apps: -scallops crudo - all summer flavors here. It was green and had crunchy flakes on top. Tasted very light and healthy. A perfect accoutrement to a heavy meal. Very good! -oysters. The oysters came with habanero sauce. One squirt is good enough. Anything more and you will feel it in your throat. Pasta: -Ravioli!!!! This is a must!!! It was easily the best thing I tried all night. I wish I got a full order and had this as my main. We also ordered 4 grams of truffle to sprinkle on this. -spaghetti Nero. I was interested because of all the seafood but it was very salty. Black spaghetti atop chopped tomatoes and seafood. The seafood is chopped so small I couldn't tell what I was eating. Mains: - sea Bass. It wasn't as memorable as the ravioli. Lots of different textures here. I liked the black chick peas that were cooked al dente. The eggplant was good too. It was ok but I don't think I need to try that again. -my husband got the steak. It was good too. Side: -Creamed spinach. It was very interesting with cheese curds on top but it was rather salty. Maybe my postpartum taste buds are still very strong. Dessert: -strawberry sorbet. A perfect way to finish the evening. Very light and a perfect amount of sweetness. It came with merengue-like crackers. I loved it! read more

Fantastic service and brunch is absolutely delicious. It is spendy but it worth it for a special occasion!

Spoon and Stable brunch absolutely lives up to the hype. Staples like biscuits & gravy and the omelette were great but the bison tartare was exceptional. Make sure to leave room for pastries (separate menu!) Conveniently located in the North Loop neighborhood for both those walking as well as driving in (valet available next door.) If you arrive early during brunch hours, stop by Bellecour bakery next door for an almond chocolate croissant! read more

First time here and LOVED it! We managed to come without a reservation at 5pm on a Tuesday- they have about 10 seats at the bar and 3 small tables for 2 by the bar for walk ins. We got the duck meatloaf sliders and the picture really doesn't do it justice - it was so flavorful and perfectly charred. They gave us complimentary black truffle arancini which was so rich and creamy. I ordered Spaghetti Nero and I see why it's what they're known for - it was incredibly packed with flavor and the pasta itself was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend loved his steak and enjoyed the paired flavors as well. We were sadly too full for dessert (their menu looked amazing) but we were also given a complimentary assortment of sweet treats!! Couldn't have asked for a better date night in downtown Minneapolis. read more

To drink? Toronto. Strong and remarkably well balanced. Maple syrup makes this drink dangerously smooth and delicious. Old Overholt rye they wash with brown butter and finish with maple syrup and a house made fernet that the barkeep emphasized makes it more floral and less minty than your average fernet. Mushroom soup is a velouté that is thick, earthy, and creamy. A steal for $12! They plate the base of mushrooms and herbs ahead of time and pour the velouté tableside. Seriously classy. Nutty and rich, mushroom is the star here, not cream. The mushrooms melt in your mouth and they even take the time to make their own oyster crackers! Just by virtue of being their guest you get delightful bread and house whipped butter (even if you sit at the bar). The butter is like air in your mouth; you will be tempted to eat it straight once you've eaten your bread! For my main I had the famous Pasta Nero (fra diavolo with seafood and squid ink pasta). Spicy and full of umami, and the half sized portion with an appetizer makes for one hell of a meal. Service was excellent and they even had a bag check service so I didn't have to lug my luggage (suddenly realizing why it's called luggage... ok, I'm back) and that was phenomenal! I'm usually coming from the airport going to a place like this so I was pleasantly surprised not to have to drag my carryon through such a nice place. Spoon and Stable puts on a clinic in the service department. Like I seriously feel like I walked into a movie where the couple just has a perfect meal. I'd take my wife on a date here, but we'd have to fly a thousand miles just to get here. And yet... Spoon and Stable is posh but not stuffy, crisp but not cold. This place is righteous. read more

Unfortunately, were not able to get a reservation on this trip to Minneapolis. However, I try to make this a must Wen in town. We stopped to have some cocktails and went from there. Great selection of handcrafted drinks. read more

Another visit. Another 5-star experience First class service and vibe. Beautiful space and servers that are a joy to have around. Their Old Fashioned is a delicious fruity alternative with dark rum and pineapple. Their Foie Gras was insanely good. The cappelletti was perfectly subtle and nuanced with really bold and rich flavors. And the Honey and Cream Cake was astounding. My wife said it was her favorite dessert ever. Again, you get food done perfectly with rotating seasonal dimensions. This is still the best food we have found in the cities. read more

Happened upon this place on my way to a quarantine facility. I figured I may as well indulge in one last hearty meal before surrendering myself to the vestiges of human civilization. So here I am, seated in this pseudo-chic, simulacrum of an "elevated dining" restaurant. Thus far, nothing out of the ordinary. To my left, a haughty Minnetonkan couple salivating over the above-market prices. To my right, two Nordic Instagram-frenzied princesses. The rest of the room is much of the same ilk, a perfect match to the cream-toned walls. Marcus, my gregarious bearded server, introduces himself and proceeds to cover all the bases. It goes without saying--he lets his beard do most of the talking. Pining for warm tropical flavors, I naturally start by ordering a Singapore Sling. Closing my eyes, I prepare to be slung into the revitalizing forests of the sweet and balmy lands of the East. I take my first sip, only to find myself overshot by 180 degrees back into the wrath of Minnesotan winters. The liquor-to-mixer ratio was completely out of wack, analogous to the bitter taste of the subzero temperatures. Marcus returns hungry for feedback. "Yes, everything is great thank you." No one wants to get involved in these bouts with their server. Now, I await my "introduction". Belgian endives quickly creep their way onto my table. I inspect the plate to realize that it's going to take some sleuthing to find any hint of duck prosciutto. Finally, I bust two unassuming pieces fornicating under a bed of endives. I struggle to pull apart the passionate lovers, but in the end I think they understood what's what. I impaled the beau along with an endive onto my fork and let them rest easy in the enzymatic chambers of my mouth. Let me tell you, my bouche was certainly not amused! The prosciutto was stiff, the endives bitter, and the supposed zest of quince lost somewhere in the middle of a Venn diagram that never intersected. Whatever, introductions are always awkward anyway, so I'll let this one slide. Now it's time to get serious. Marcus ushers out the bison tartare and all 100 occupants go silent for a millisecond as the plate touches down on the wooden table. This, I would say, was the most hyperbolic moment of the evening. The presentation was lacking in finesse. The socca came in two jagged slabs and the tartar appeared to be bashfully hidden under a clumsy pile of watermelon radish and cilantro. Just imagine a sumo wrestler cannon balling through the wooden floors of a ballet studio whilst holding an herb garden starter kit, and this is what you will get. The bison was fresh and grassy until it wasn't. Suddenly, my tastebuds were robbed at gunpoint by a wave of harissa aioli. Needless to say, I couldn't make it past two bites. This may not be the best start to a dinner, but I'm not willing to dash just yet. Alright, now I'm ready for the Casoncelli. I knew this was going to be a good choice as I give an affirmative nod to Marcus upon ordering. He arrives shortly with the dish, cheeks rosy with jubilation. This dish was by far the best as far as presentation is concerned, but looks can be deceiving. I was expecting to be taken into Poseidon's royal underwater esplanade with the king crab, but it became very clear to me that I wasn't going anywhere. Yes, the ricotta was soft, comforting even, but boy did the cheese stand alone. Swiss chard was nowhere to be found, but I did manage to summon it with my imagination. As for the preserved lemon, well, what can even be said about that? Despite the uncouth progression of the dinner, Marcus remained steadfast and deliberate in serving the dishes. He now presents the piece de resistance: the bison striploin. I was absolutely smitten by the pavé potatoes: crisp, buttery, and calculated. Now, I cretinously examine the striploin, delighting in its black pepper jus micturate. I take a couple of bites and I can undoubtedly say that it is in fact a steak. Anything beyond that will require deep contemplation and even deeper deception, neither of which I had time for. All feelings of hope are deserted, but now it's time for dessert! Lemon-almond milk cake was the poison of choice, and I guess one could say it was palate cleansing. I was anticipating a moist cake base with lush citrus flavors, but the only thing lush about it was that it tasted like soap! The toasted marshmallow ice cream...now that, I could have taken another scoop of. It's a funny thing about farm to table these days. You know what to expect the majority of the time--understated dishes ignited with hints of verdant vegetation. There's always an endives plate, oysters of unknown ubiquitous origins, and gilded accoutrements that look too good to eat but not good enough to savor. Often, prices determine expectations; but as far as I'm concerned, cooking truly is a dying art at Spoon and Stable. read more

When I discovered this restaurant several years ago, I recommended it to all locals and out of towners. This was the place to be. The Decor, the ambience is sick! The bartenders such as Matthew, Trey and Sofian have all been stellar. The drinks are great as well. This really uplifts the restaurant scene in Minneapolis and now you have so many other high end restaurants opening up in the neighborhood like Flora which the ambience is divine! The one part of this restaurant that I sometimes feels is missing is that the food isn't always a 5. There is obviously a seasonality to certain foods. The food is great, amazing delivery and artwork but the food isn't something you can "go back and crave again". I've had the pork chops and wagyu beef, and again there is a little bit that is always missing. This will always still be my go to restaurant. The staff seem happy so it reflects in our experience. The decor and ambience is solid and it places Minneapolis on the map! read more

I wish we had this restaurant in WA! I've visited few times while in town. First time I had monkfish chop, and was not particularly a fan, as it seemed a bit over salted for my liking. The oysters are really good though! But the desert... oh SO SO good! I got peaches and cream! That was delicious! It's worth to fly back just for the desert. Chocolate pavlova was also good. read more

Have been here three times since they opened, but this is my first review. First time was for a dinner, second drinks and snacks, most recently for a private event. Cannot emphasize how great this restaurant is. Attention to detail, kindness of staff, overall design and cleanliness of the restaurant, seasonal menu choices, and an expansive drinks menu for all ages. They know what they are doing, and they do it WELL. Very well. From pastries, to appetizers (get the truffle arancini and Swedish meatballs), and even the burger, this place just shines. Never had a bad bite at Spoon and Stable. It is no wonder the owner and executive chef has more dining establishments in the Minneapolis area. Chef Kaysen well deserved his 2018 James Beard award for best Midwest Chef. Must also give props to the private events team. If you want to host a flawless event, this is the spot. read more

Was visiting from out of town - Google & Yelp said it was excellent so we gave it a try. Definitely not wrong! Was a bit surprised that my meatloaf was duck, not a fan. The other two dishes in out party were fabulous and my mom had an awesome birthday dessert. Would definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area in the future. read more

I have come to Spoon and Stable now twice in the last month and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites in the cities. The workers are very nice and friendly and seated us right when we walked in. Make sure you have reservations! I made mine about two weeks in advance. Okay the food....dinner was great! I got the seafood pasta dish and my boyfriend got the pork chop. Both tasted amazing and were perfect. We got the creamer spinach as a side, also amazing. The dessert was great too, we got some chocolate mouse thing, and it was heaven. The second time we came it was for brunch...wow. First let me say that the crepe cake is my favorite thing right now. It was very delicious! The other pastries were great too. Don't skip these! For the actual meal I got the kale and mushroom crepe and my boyfriend got the duck egg omelet. Both had great flavors! Would get them again. One of the best brunches I have had in the cities. Overall the service is great, restaurant is clean, and the food is tasty. If you haven't been here yet you are missing out! read more

My girlfriend & I were in on Tuesday ,2/22 We sat at the bar & ate dinner. The bartender was not aware of his surroundings. Nothing what I'm going to bitch about is life ending or sad! However! When a 21% gratuity is auto . You better be spot on! I had to let him know. We were ready to order. I had to ask him to top off my soda water. ( I do not drink alcohol) . Also. Our silverware was taken after our apps. Normal of course. However. We did not get new set ups . & had to flag him for new. Because our entrees were now in front of us. My pot roast had 2 nasty knuckles I had to rid of politely in my napkin. We eat out almost every night . Tuesdays . My gal treats at new places for us. For what you charge. & tip yourselves. I will share our experience at Spoon. Good luck read more

What once was a horse stable back in the day is now a bustling and elegant restaurant boasting an open kitchen, beautiful dining room with white table tops, a full bar, and stunning wine cellar encased in glass. I loved how the exposed beams and brick walls add a rustic and relaxed vibe into the upscale environs. Was I really in the Midwest? Our 8:45PM reservation which we luckily snagged during our short stay got us hungry and almost carried away with the ordering. To no surprise, the warm bread basket was a welcome sight that we happily devoured while imbibing on our whimsical cocktails. Our BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP ($11) came shortly after, hearty and very apt for fall - that trace of lime was such a pleasant surprise. Since we were sharing everything family style, the mains and sides arrived simultaneously. Let me start with the SPAGHETTI NERO ($23) which had every squid ink strand of pasta cooked firm and showing off fresh morsels of seafood like they just came from the ocean. The giant prawns were sweet and succulent, definitely the highlight there. I thought the PORK CHOP ($29), glazed in tamarind, was comparable to SF's NOPA, as it was cooked to a perfect pink, tender to the bite, and tasty to the bone. As for the ALASKAN HALIBUT ($29), it was simply delicate and melted like butter in my mouth. That chorizo sabayon almost had me licking the plate. Our sides were not just sides. Infused with bagna cauda, the BRUSSELS SPROUTS ($8) were oozing in garlic flavor with a touch of texture from the breadcrumbs. They're not messing around here. Their version of a CREAMY SPINACH is topped with cheese curds. Yep, insane, right?! For dessert, petit fours were served on the house and an airy cotton candy for our birthday celebrant. How's that for ending on a sweet note? To my delight, Minneapolis proved to hold its own when it comes to dishing out an unforgettable culinary experience. With Chef Gavin Kaysen (owner/Exec Chef) who helped Cafe Boulud in NYC earn a Michelin star, well, I didn't expect anything less. Every plate that came out from the kitchen had soul. All polished, rich, and familiar. The service was top-notch, thanks to Adam who made sure we were treated well. Visiting or a local, Spoon and Stable is not to be missed. read more

This was amazing! We started with the banana bread which was so soft and moist but still had the perfect crusty top. We also got the creamed spinach with cheese curds which was an interesting but amazing mix. For my main course I got the duck. I was hesitant because I had never had duck before but I wanted to try it. I am so glad I did because it was unbelievable. Then to finish it off we had to try the crepe cake. I have to say it's worth the hype and has a very rich vanilla flavor. I will need to be back here for dinner! read more

I would have given this place a 5 stars +. The food is outstanding, one of the best dining experience in a while but did not appreciate the 21% hospitality fee included in the bill (plus we're taxed on it) and the extra line to leave a tip for the staff. Have the waiter explain to us the breakdown and mention the extra tip line to get us to tip even more, no thank you! Pay your staff... Disappointing because everything else is top notch. UPDATE: went to another restaurant, they explained the 21% but did not have the tip line and are not sending a mixed message. No need to add an extra tip there read more

Ahh. ..the elusive 5 star restaurant. These are harder to find than a balanced state budget in Springfield. We sat at the bar because I didn't make a reservation in advance. It was 5pm and they were fully booked until 10:45pm. That's usually a indication of one of two things, an outstanding dining experience or a potential let down due to hype. We kicked the meal off with Duck Meatloaf Sliders, Smoked Pork Tacos and Bison Tartare. Wow, wow and wow! This was my first encounter with duck meatloaf and now I'm hooked. I think I'll try my hand at duplicating this one at home. The rich seared duck was served atop buttery mini slices of toast. A tamarind reduction glaze imparted a complimenting level of sweetness. The Hay-Smoked Lamb was impeccable. Perfect in every way imaginable. The Spaghetti Nero and Potato Crusted Halibut were so fresh, I'd believe them if they said they caught the seafood AFTER I placed my order. Lol. The Honey & Cream Cake reminded me of an elevated Très Leches. I can't wait to find a reason to visit Prince-town again. Rarely do I come across restaurants worthy of a special trip. Spoon and Stable warrants a short road trip if you live within a few hours! It was that good. read more

I am visiting from Hawaii for work and I wanted to experience the food at Spoon and Stable. About 8 of us dined here and we were amazed. We all shared a bite to experience the flavors on our palates. It was perfect. Food and service was exceptional. The lamb and rib eye were so tender and cooked to perfection. The pasta was fresh and the sauce was just right!

This place was just about perfect. Amazing decor and friendly staff. The menu is creative and unique. The Bison tar tar and black truffle arancini were stand out items.

One thing I struggle with is always having questions. She went through most of the menu so thoroughly that I had NO questions. My group and I tried many pastries, and not a single one was a let down! I had the breakfast burger which I didn't finish because I was so full of of everything else we had! The hash browns, to DIE for. The bacon steak was impeccable!!! From the moment you step in the door, it was a beautiful experience! The restaurant give fancy vibes, but is very cozy and wonderful. 20/10 will recommend!!!! read more
