    The Lynnhall was a very nice event area. I came to the Lynhall for an event recently and all of the food was from here and delicious!! we had some really nice French inspired pastries and they had a really good variety of vegetarian food. Everything was delicious. I have no complaints!!

    My review for The Lynhall is a bit different. I didn't have anything to eat here. Rather, it was an event location to meet Molly Yeh and have her latest cookbook, Home is Where the Eggs Are, signed by her. When I saw that Molly was doing a cookbook signing in Minneapolis at The Lynhall, I immediately jumped on this opportunity to meet her. This event took place on a Wednesday night at 5 pm. I first stumbled across her show, Girl Meets Farm, on the Food Network in my hotel room during one of many trips to the Twin Cities. I loved that she lives on a farm near the Minnesota-North Dakota border with her hubby and children. I used to do the drive through both states between Winnipeg and Rochester. I love her recipes, from hotdishes that Minnesotans get instinctively, to her black sesame babka, which sealed the deal for me. She infuses her Jewish and Chinese heritage into her recipes with little effort. So awesome and creative! The Lynhall was the perfect venue for this event. There is limited parking in front of the eatery. Instead, I parked on W 26th Street, near Aldrich Avenue South, which was a brief walk over. Parking was free. I entered through the main doors that face W 27th Street. It was an extremely organized event, with one staff member finding my name on the list and handing me a cookbook. I leafed through it as I was figuring out where to go. You could grab a bite or a drink at the bar on the left. I wasn't hungry and lined up. It was a long lineup that snaked through the venue. However, everyone was friendly. To my right, where there was a counter, the eatery had complimentary icy water. I took a glass and had some. It hit the spot as I continued to wait in line to meet Molly. I got to look at the kitchen as I waited. The dough mixers looked impressive. I look forward to dining here for breakfast and trying some baked goods. The kitchen was fairly quiet, but you could get salads and sandwiches. I'm not sure where they were prepared, though. I noticed a kitchen area where live cooking demos can be conducted. It also looked impressive. It was across from where Molly was. It was a thrill to have met her and have her sign my cookbook. It was a memorable evening. Her cookbook has straightforward, creative recipes. The toughest part is figuring out what to make first. I think her hotdish with tater tots on top will be first on my list. Once I snapped out of meeting Molly (she's super nice and awesome), I exited through the side entrance, which faces Aldrich Avenue South. I saw where you could hang your coat if you were dining here. However, I never came across where the washrooms were. So many questions. I'll figure the answers out soon. It's a restaurant during the day. It's a lovely venue for events like this cookbook signing. I'll need to return and check out the eats and drinks other than water! (436)

    Lynhall Standard - Lamb Sausage
    Mark N.

    Beautiful restaurant and with a very rustic feel all around. Very impressed with how chill and relaxed it was. My family and I didn't make any reservations but we were seated immediately after coming in, despite being busy. Also, the servers approached us nicely, taking our orders quickly, and also very attentive with either filling up our water carafe or refilling the coffee. The food was very delicious, ordered the Lynhall Standard with the lamb sausage. Every bite was delicious and seasoned well. Every bite of the lamb sausage was juicy and an explosion of flavor. The bread was toasted well, with the fresh jam. The home fries/potatoes were wonderful and a nice addition. If you like spicy, definitely try their in-house hot sauce, had a hint of sweetness, but the spice kicks in wonderfully (not just overly spicy for spiciness' sake).

    Peach and Burrata tartine
    Sonja M.

    Great atmosphere for a classy lunch! I met a friend on a Thursday, there was no wait and the tables were spotless. We got service right away and I had the peach and Burrata tartine which was delicious, along with some green tea. On our way out, the waitress said they had leftover items in the bakery and gave us some to go! The salted croissant was perfectly baked. Will definitely come again!

    Lynhall is awesome! I came here for brunch some weeks back with friends and ordered a chocolate croissant, pistachio croissant, and a classic eggs Benny. The egg in the eggs Benny was unfortunately a bit overcooked, but the incredible shaved ham, delicious biscuit, and fresh hollandaise sauce more than made up for it. Despite the egg not being runny, this Benedict was awesome! I would love to come back here and get it again, and fingers crossed it would be a perfectly poached egg because then this might be my favorite brunch spot in the cities. The pastries that we had were all delicious, but I do recommend coming earlier in the day because by the time we got here around 12:30, most of the pastries had already sold out! I will be back soon hopefully!

    Almond Morning Bun
    Robyn L.

    This place is a gem. If you are looking for a tasty upscale yet casual brunch spot, you've found it. I say upscale because of the prices and quality of food, but causal because you definitely could wear whatever you wanted here. First impression walking in is the place is beautiful, very aesthetically pleasing and a beautiful mixture of old with new. Feels open and airy with a lot of natural light and also beautiful light fixtures and built ins. Ok onto the food- the coffee was amazing they were brewing intelligencia. Bottomless drip coffee for $4. We split an almond bun and it was delightful. For mains, my husband got the burger and I got the shakshouka. Both were tasty! A few other notes: There is a parking lot and free street parking too. Service was great, not super quick but I think it's because our waitress picked up on the fact that we were having great convo and not in a hurry. Bathrooms were clean and cute. 5-6 individual rooms gender neutral. Extra plus their soap smelled great! This is also used as an event space so we noticed several people coming in to ask questions and take pictures of it for a venue. We walked in at 12pm and were seated right away on a Saturday- might have been good luck though cause it consistently got more busy as we were there. Definitely has a stay a while vibe- how can you not in such a beautiful environment with endless yummy food/drink. Highly recommended!

    Great beautiful location and wonderful service. They open right on time and we got there first. Have cute merchandise by the door when you walk in. The food was tasty and the portions were large.

    I came here for the Mother's Day afternoon tea and it was great. It's such a quaint and cute atmosphere and the food was very good. The desserts were outstanding though. The best desserts I have ever tasted! I do agree with another reviewer that the tea wasn't warm enough though.

    Gremolata Fried Potatoes GF, V
    Katie S.

    We stopped by here for weekday brunch a few weeks ago and it was absolutely incredible. The food was amazing, service was attentive, and the brunch drinks unique and fun. FOOD: I ordered the pastrami spiced salmon scramble and the gremolata fried potatoes and they were both very tasty. The salmon scramble had both salmon pieces inside as well as roe on top. My friend ordered the squash bisque and winter vegetable hash and also said that it was great! We also got brunch drinks - the cold weather mary and faith healer were unique and fun. SERVICE: Our server was attentive and the food and drinks came out quickly. AMBIANCE: The interior had high ceilings and felt open despite there being many tables for seating. Felt very clean and modern. PARKING: Small parking lot, plus ample free street parking.

    Rye Crepes
    Kailee C.

    Awesome brunch spot. The pastries are made in-house and some of the best I've ever had which is saying a lot. The matcha cinnamon bun melts in your mouth. The bottomless drip coffee is a bit spendy at $4.50 but so smooth and I got plenty of refills. We tried the Braised Bison Hash, Rye Crepes, and a daily special of duck omelette. I highly recommend all of them. The crepes are definitely a sweeter option but so good. Plenty of seating space and big windows. There were a few people working on laptops while we were there. There was no wait for us on a Saturday morning around 11am. They do add a 5% service charge to the check that is not gratuity. Not the cheapest place for brunch but it's a fun treat. Can't wait to come back.

    Seasonal Spring Vegetable Hash V

    I've been here twice and while it's a decent spot for brunch, it's nothing special. I know a lot of people who really enjoy coming here for afternoon tea, I just don't think the food is that great. When we arrived, we stood around near the host stand for 10 minutes before anyone came by to sit us. And it wasn't particularly busy when we arrived. We sat outside where the tables are a bit small for a group and felt a little claustrophobic. The staff was nice though. Our group had the season veggie hash, the breakfast gnocchi, and the avocado toast. All solid but again nothing to write home about. A decent spot for fresh breakfast food on the healthier side.

    Matcha Tea Latte
    Austin P.

    Really liked the interior, was a struggle to find parking. Food was overpriced compared to other options in the area. Overall solid breakfast spot, be prepared to spend more than normal.

    Maple French Toast V Mushroom Crepes V Matcha Latte
    Katerina M.

    Amazing food! The mushroom crepes were very good, flavorful but not too rich or salty. The French toast was a fun surprise! I didn't remember reading on the menus that there were blueberries on top, but it came with blueberries they were very good! Sweet but definitely not overly sweet. The furniture is cute too. Service was ok. Very friendly but not the most attentive. Originally got seated at a table that was just cleaned and was still wet so we asked to move to a different open table. We had to wait for the original table to be cleaned off...but there was that open table available the whole time so not sure why we didn't get sat there in the first place. Food is great though, very unique, love the halloumi sandwich on the menu!

They did mess up my order ( I ordered House Mix with Medium spice but got Garlic Butter with Mild spice), but it didn't change the fact I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. Also, their corn was great. I'm usually a fan of seafood boils that have a thicker sauce consistency (like King Cajun), so if you're the same, you might want to skip. Their sauce is a bit on the more liquid side. I would say if you're gonna eat here, place your order online and pick up your food and head out. It will hit the spot, but you don't want your car parked around outside cause it's honestly a bit scary.

Girlfriend had the shrimp etouffee with grits. It was nicely blackened and on a big bed of grits. Also spicy. Friend had the original lobster roll. He was surprised it came on Texas toast and not a roll. But he really enjoyed it. The dessert was a sinlme but delicious Cookit with ice cream. I recommend for restaurant week. And if you like seafood in the form of things like the lobster roll or shrimp etouffee that you don't get other places. I thought the jambalaya was fine but unremarkable.

Nightingale was packed, but fortunately, once two patrons saw my face from the bar, they quickly paid their bill and left. My face often compels people to vacate crowded establishments in Minneapolis, and we often find seats. After grabbing the two seats, we ordered wine and a wonderful Amaro-based cocktail. Jules was our bartender/server, and although he was crazy busy, he found time to be gracious to us. We ordered the meatball appetizer, halibut, and the Nightingale hamburger. My halibut was sublime, cooked perfectly, and it wasn't drowned in sauce. Bravo! The meatballs were tender and delicious, but the hamburger was not memorable. It was good, not great. Despite all the accolades above, when the bill came, I was charged two dollars after requesting a cucumber slice for my Pimms Cup. Perhaps the source of this pettiness came from the kitchen, but it wasn't smart, because the $2.00 charge placed a shroud over my experience. The bill was $125, and because of the petty two-buck charge, I only left a $25 tip. I was going to leave a $30 tip. I will sadly remember those 2 bucks forever. It was a myopic move and a passive-aggressive way to handle my request. In my birthplace home of NYC, a bartender would have said, "Getting a cucumber slice is a pain in the rear, would you mind skipping it?" My response, "Sure, it's not a big deal."

The mushroom bruschetta similarly underwhelmed - it felt like it was missing something to make it stand out. The bright spot? The drinks were solid and well-crafted. I wanted to rate this higher based on the atmosphere and service alone, but at the end of the day, the food has to deliver. With so many great options in Minneapolis, Nightingale needs to step up its culinary game to match its lovely setting. I'd consider returning for drinks, but probably not for dinner.

    Had a really nice birthday dinner here when we were staying downtown…read more The building is beautiful it's an old bank - great ambiance Our server was very scripted with the menu starting out but towards the end he loosened up a bit The food was very good , the steaks were cooked perfectly and we enjoyed the family style sides we shared such as tr Brussels sprouts and whipped potatoes Drinks were good and the free dessert as a birthday treat was also good Definitely a special occasion restaurant Since this place is downtown I would valet or you can park in the garages and walk on over

    Had time for a cocktail before dinner- decided to drop in. We took two seats at the bar. Service…read morewas a little slow but that's ok. We perused the menu. I didn't see anything I wanted on the cocktail menu. I asked for a Gold Rush- the bartender didn't know it. So I showed him a recipe on my phone and he made it! Woohoo! I was surprised that they did not have agave or honey syrup. He asked a bar back to go to the kitchen and get the cooking honey! Now THIS is service. My only qualm is they took my cocktail away before it was finished. I went to the restroom which is inside the hotel and they cleared our glasses. My husband had finished his but I had two sips left :( Bathrooms are clean. There is an interesting vault on the way there with some old bottles. The food menu looks good. Lots of people were eating at tables behind us. They have a bar menu as well. The place is dark and a bit noisy. They had a couple TVs so we were able to watch the game. I would come back here for dinner.

    We had a perfect meal here during a business dinner with 4 of us. We sat outside, which was really…read morenice - although inside seemed to be just as good. The ambiance is high energy and quieter outside. It never got too hot outside, plenty of shade and a breeze between the buildings. The food is spectacular. We had amazing appetizers, especially the salmon and tuna. Our steaks were perfect, order a variety at your table and share. The sides were well made, especially the fingerling potatoes and broccoli. Listen to your waitstaff, they know what they are talking about and talked us out of a couple dishes and into better ones. Overall, it wasn't inexpensive but it was well worth it for those who appreciate unique and flavorful meals. We would definitely eat here again.

    TLDR; Porzana is amazing, go ready to eat. Food and service are spectacular! You MUST get the…read moreAsparagus, sweet corn agnolotto, and the entrana. Skip the olive oil cake and vanilla sorbet. Porzana was an absolutely AMAZING experience! The food was delicious and the service was incredible as well. More than that, the vibes were great! This spot is truly the whole package. The restaurant was much bigger than I expected which was also nice. It was too hot when we were there, but they also had a cute patio on the side of the restaurant. We got a TON of dishes as we were treating ourselves and here is what we thought of each... Empanadas - Perfect size, crispy dough, and FULL of meat. The sauce, mango salsa, and the aoli on the side were the perfect editions. Sweet Corn Agnolotto - Literally NO notes. There is a reason why this is all over theirs and visitors social media. It is fresh and bright, yet has an amazing depth of flavor. Asparagus - These were perfectly charred and bright. They didn't feel heavy at all which was awesome. Entrana - The main event and so dang good. Perfectly cooked, tender, and the flavor was excellent. We love steak and honestly do a pretty good job cooking it ourselves, but this is somewhere we would go for a good steak. This was my top meat choice. The chimichurri and Lla Jua sauces were a perfect pairing with this as well. Ribeye - This ribeye was also delicious! It was tender and juicy, and had good flavor. My fiance preffered this to the Entrana though we both loved them both. Papas Aplastadas - These were fried potatoes with bacon, cheese, and beurre blanc. They were good, but not great. Honestly, I think we just loved the other dishes so much that these didn't even get a fair chance. Though these had the most ingredients, I would say they were the least flavorful to me. Olive Oil Cake - Moist, but still dense and didn't really impress us much. I wished instead of the marscapone there was something lighter on top as it all felt heavy after a big meal. Sorbet - skip the vanilla. The honey lavendar was an absolute show stopper. Cocktails were also top teir and they had mocktail options as well!

    I come to MSP often for work, and it's always a challenge to find a decent, healthy meal late in…read morethe evening downtown. Fortunately, the Earth Bowl at Star fits the bill and will probably be a go-to on future trips. It's a nicely seasoned, balanced, and clean-tasting assortment of greens, other vegetables, grains, and optional protein (shrimp was a good choice). And the generous pour of cab sauv complemented it well. Food aside, the space is very inviting and calming (and geometrically interesting, being circular in design), perfect for catching up on some reading during my meal. Service was also pleasant. The only thing is that there wasn't much else on the menu that appealed to me personally, so I'm hoping the bowl isn't something temporary or seasonal. In any case, I look forward to my next visit.

    I've been wanting to hit up Star Bar since it opened. I had a good feeling about the happy hour…read moremenu. It didn't disappoint. The food was great and the drinks were too. They even have hh in Friday. There's a lot to choose from on the hh menu. My friend and I shared wings, crab cakes, Brussels sprouts, and the whipped feta toast. All were delicious and portions are generous. Wings had a nice crisp and were substantial, not tiny. The whipped feta toast is a sleeper though, and prob the one I enjoyed most. Lots of accoutrements, super tasty. The sidecar was great and so was the Benedictine Manhattan cocktail. Strong but well balanced. We were greeted with a warm and thoughtful welcome, esp considering what's happening in our city rn. Staff were friendly and service was prompt. Nice, upscale ambiance and decor. It makes for a great after work happy hour downtown or a great spot for a more formal date night. Located inside the Indigo hotel. Plenty of on street metered parking on surrounding blocks. Will be back.
