SWEET POTATOES FRIES
Madison M.

Great vibes and even better food. Went for the love island premiere and they had great drink specials. Our server was attentive even with a packed house!

Dry Rub wings
Jeremy S.

The loop is just so so for cocktails. Steak tips, not great either. The wings were just ok. Now, my buddy got the burger and said it was outstanding, so there's one saving grace here.

Double pepperoni flatbread, and fettuccine Alfredo with sausage.

The food is fantastic and a shout out to our server/bartender Rocky! The booths are large and roomy. With plenty of TVs and music.

Cheese curds
Déjà J.

I adventured over to the Loop with a group of friends after a Twins baseball game one day. During the day it's a standard sports bar. They have a decent menu. We ordered drinks and a couple pizzas to share for the table. The pizza was okay same with the drinks. Our server was super cool & friendly. A while after my first experience we tried to go back at night when it turns into a more club vibe but the line was so long and hardly moved after waiting 15-20min so we decided to go somewhere else. I recall the inside being kind of small with a big bar in the middle. So I'm sure it was crowded inside and that's not my vibe anymore. It was also a ton of college aged people & I felt a bit too old.

Someone mentioned in a casual conversation that this is their favorite place to eat. I've enjoyed their St. Louis Park location and I work nearby, so I made a point to duck in for a late lunch. It was oddly empty, even though there was some bustle at a competing restaurant across the street. I had super friendly service and a really delicious sandwich, a new tri-tip sandwich with a great pepper sauce. Loved that. It looks like they're really going for the sporty crowd, so I suspect this is a very lively spot when there are games to get excited about. They have a brunch menu with some items that I'd be keen to try, so I'll be back here for sure. They appear to have some vegetarian and vegan-friendly options they're proud of as well.

French dip
Michaela S.

Pretty empty, for a Friday night, but I know it gets busy later at night when they clear the tables for the dance floor. If you're looking to grab a bite, it's a decent place. Maybe the night life is better. I ordered the French Dip with a side salad. The bread was soft, and not what I have had with previous French dips, so it wasn't what I was expecting. We had a side of garlic fries and they were pretty yummy. Decent food, not too bad prices, but definitely bar food.

Preview- I am an Iowa Alumni here for football gameday! I love this bar for gameday! Gathers a large, energized crowd. They have specials for Iowa games and wolves games on beer. I will be returning for game days,, something very unique to the Minneapolis area! Can't wait!

#10 flatbread - just ok
Stacy A.

Most of the food we tried was good; the standouts are their chicken (both chicken strips and on a sandwich) and the bang bang shrimp. I love that the shrimp is a good size and it is coated in just the right amount of sweet, tangy and spicy. I also like the cabbage it's served on. My kids got the chicken strips with fries and ranch and their dish was probably my favorite! Flavorful crispy fries and the perfect ranch! I also enjoyed how many flatbread options there are, and to make things better the flatbreads are 50% off on Wed nights! I picked the #10 flatbread and it was just ok; I love the caramelized onions and mushrooms but paired with the goat cheese it was all a bit sour, it could use some sweetness, maybe honey. My husband got the Juicy Loopy burger and it was very "blah"; a little too thick, no actual juiciness and lacked flavor.

Mac n cheese pizza
Karen L.

The 3 stars is pretty accurate here. It's standard bar food if you're rating it from a restaurant perspective although the one interesting twist I liked was the pizza with actual mac and cheese on top. Who would've thought of this but when you're having drinks, this is the type of food you'd go after. Not bad but more like a place you come to hang with some apps versus having a meal experience.

Seasonal pear salad and gin cocktail. Sweet potato fries (not pictured is burger with regular fries). Salmon bowl.
Lindsey J.

Like an upscale Applebees... Excellent service- clean environment- good food. Went with a friend on a Thursday evening. I had the salmon bowl and he had a burger. Delicious with lots of flavor. Prices were spot on for the service and quality of their food. Nice cocktails too.

Buffalo Chicken Wrap
Ellie B.

Solid spot for drinks and/or bar food! Went here for dinner on a Friday and I had the buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. The wrap and fries were solid. I also had the wikid sparkling THC drink which was the best tasting THC drink I have had. Waitress was super nice and ambiance was great!

Cheese Curds
Nicole C.

Average. Not bad, but only average. Went for lunch during a Vikings game and no issue finding a table. Service was the best part of the experience. Had to wait a few minutes to get served but after that very attentive. Inside is nice and bathrooms were clean. A bit stark with plenty of easily viewable TVs for sports viewing which was great. Great tunes played during commercial's. Food was fine. Cheese curds were good. Husband had pepperoni flatbread. It wasn't overly flavorful but nothing wrong with it. Kind of liked the cracker like crust. I had the Cobb salad. Filled with lots of goodies and plentiful on bacon and blue cheese. Would eat there again but won't be in a hurry to get back. Street parking which can be a challenge in the North Loop. Curious to know how the burgers are and if we go back would be what we try.

The setting that made the experience always so special, before they move to their residency inside the Guthrie Theater under a new name. I cannot wait to see what they do next. Every dish truly hit it out of the park. From the Three Sisters salad with bison and squash to the fried quail and rich, earthy mushroom soup, each plate showcased Indigenous ingredients and traditions in a way that felt both thoughtful and exciting. This is not your typical dining experience and that's exactly what makes it so satisfying. Even the margarita was a standout: beautifully presented and just as delicious as it looked. I will definitely miss this riverfront location, but I am so excited for their next chapter.

This place totally lived up to the hype, in my opinion!…read more I got the maple pepita latte ($10), sweet potatoes ($18), bison skirt steak tacos ($55), and spoonbread ($15). 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.

The service was appropriately lowkey and prompt. Their food might seem a bit expensive, but their portions are generous. The fries were reminiscent of McDonald's fries in the best way, just fresher and crispier! We tried the Parlour burger and the chicken sandwich, both of which were simple but delicious.

The Parlour burger used to be thicker double patties but have gotten way thinner over time. Each…read morebeef patty is much thinner now than it used to be so the outter edge crisp is somewhat all throughout the patty being that thin. This makes the burger really chewy and you really can't taste the beef anymore like you used to when it was thicker. I would take this as it's not as good as it used to be. It is not as good as the original hype from the beginning. In conclusion, I do not think it's worth the $19. I rather get a cheesesteak for $16 at Tono's which comes with fresh not burnt fries rather than come back here and get a burger here. It's highly unlikely I will be back here. I honestly feel like the burgers have gone way WAY downhill. The fries here have gotten terrible so I stopped getting the fries a long time ago. They are not soft crisp like they used to be. They are too golden brown color, almost like burnt hard fries. I never like to eat down here. I normally would order the Parlour burger upstairs. The basement part which is Parlour has a weird smell like a locker room smell so that's why I don't like to eat down here.

Each course was better than the previous course and every course was INCREDIBLE with outstanding flavors that were explained in great detail each time! It was such a memorable experience from the first course to the last course that you never wanted it to end. You also get the entire menu including the wine pairing in a nice note before you leave.

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. The service is exceptional. The ambiance is awesome. Much of the food is outstanding. But in my opinion, the overall experience did not justify the extremely high cost.
