    The close up.
    Sheri S.

    This used to be the Uptown Apple Store location. Then after a bunch of businesses left the area, I noticed this location for the Uptown Diner open up. Breakfast food is my favorite and the Uptown Diner definitely did the job. It was a brisk morning after I got my nails done and I strolled in here for a fix. The cornedbeef hash was HUGE. The Traditional corned beef was served with our famous house made hash browns and two farm fresh scrambeled eggs with cheddar cheese, along with bakery fresh toast. I was in shock at the portion size but was also so grategul. I can always appreciate generous portions. The booths are great and cozy, it created a great sense of coziness and privacy.

    One of the best breakfasts I've had in the Twin Cities. It's a hike to get to with all the construction on West Lake Street.But it's worth the hike! I walked in around 7:30 AM and I was the first customer of the day.I was greeted with a smile by MAI my server. I asked her what her favorite breakfast meal was at The New Uptown Cafe' and was encouraged to go with the Spicy Cajun Benedict. This was a good referral,said" my belly".The house made andouille sausage was perfect.The hashbrowns were also made in house and the best hash browns I've had besides my own homemade browns.As you can see, there was also a lot of food.I was filled up for the day. The poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce blended together and made harmony in my mouth.The freshly squeezed orange juice was the cherry on top of the entire meal.The bar seating was cozy and the restaurant was clean.I liked the booth area.At the front of the restaurant is window seating,however construction out on the streets makes it not interesting! I will definitely be back to try more of the menu items as soon as construction dies down. Thank you MAI for the good service. I'll be back!

    Corned Beef Hash with hash browns and eggs slightly runny.

    Warmly greeted on arrival and very attentive staff. Enjoyed the Corned Beef Hash. I really liked how they fold the hash browns into the corned beef instead of having it on the side. A side of sourdough toast and coffee. Will be here once a month when I have to stay in the neighborhood all day. I thought there might be a wait when I arrived, but I was seated immediately and had my choice of tables or booths.

    Great addition to the area! Food and service are great. Loved my eggs Benedict! The only negative is that they are pricey. Two breakfasts, one with OJ and the other with coffee; with tip was $50

    Nice interior. Clean and modern. Large variety of options. Food is good quality and well prepared. It's a bit pricey but understandable since Minneapolis isn't known for its cafes. Employees are friendly. I would happily and without second thoughts bring guests here. Definitely an above average and safe option. Would recommend.

    George & The Dragon is a super cool restaurant that my hubby and I tried for a double date night…read morewith our friends. We came on a Monday night at 6:15pm. This place does get busy so definitely keep that in mind. Luckily I made reservations ahead of time so we had a table waiting for us, otherwise we would have been put on a waiting list since it's a small space. They put us in a corner booth which was nice and spacious enough for 4 people so I'd definitely recommend asking for a booth verse a table if you're planning to come with a larger group. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. I appreciated their attentiveness and sharing what they like best, especially for what's in season based on the time of year. The menu has quite a bit of variety too which is sometimes unexpected when you come to a pub-style location. For appetizers we got Onion Ring and Fried Pickles. They were both really good and served with dipping sauces. Definitely both shareable items so if you're in a group they'd be great options! My entree I chose the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon served with lemon soy marinade, creamy cucumbers, and jasmine rice -- it was SO good!! I loved the creaminess of the cucumbers especially with the rice and than the lemon soy marinade was just a unique touch to the salmon. Toned the flavors down without overpowering acidity. And the salmon was so dreamy, a beautiful pink color that you just knew it wasn't a farm raised salmon. Plus the portion was very generous!! I'd definitely recommend the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon to anyone interested in visiting here. #eatwildsavewild The only negatives (which are more so just knowledge bombs for you): * Restaurant is VERY loud. It's hard to hear because it is one small room that everyone plus the bar is in. I wished I would have took a picture to show what I mean. Just know that if it's an intimate setting you're looking for this is not the place. So be prepared to talk loudly over the loudness and ask "excuse me?" or "repeat that" many times throughout your visit because you're not going to hear everything. * Timed eating. Because this place is a hit with limited seating, once you get a table and complete your meal/payment you'll kindly be asked to leave so that they can clean up and open the table to next in line. Totally get that and am not put off by this at all, but I could see how it could catch some folks off guard especially if you are out for a meal with folks you may not see frequently-- so just keep that in mind. This is not the place to sit and talk post meal. * Parking is limited. Be prepared to walk a few blocks as the road parking in front of the business is pretty limited especially with the other stores and restaurants in the area. Regardless of those few bullets I highly recommend folks visit George & The Dragon. It's a really cool spot and the food was great! Plus theirs a malt shop right next door that looks yummy too, so definitely worth visiting and getting malts after for dessert.

(Bonus points for their flexibility--we had a surprise out of town guest who could join as well!) The menu has something to please every palate, from the vegans to the obligate carnivores. Ditto on the drink menu--they have a wonderful selection of beer and wine, and they have fun N/A options as well. The portions are generous (one person in our party ordered two appetizers and still had something to take home) and beautifully plated. I started with a green salad and loved the balance of tastes and textures. The greens were tender and crisp, the nuts crunchy, the chèvre yogurt creamy, and the dressing exactly right. (It was almost but not quite too pretty to eat.) For my main, I ordered the tofu hash, one of the vegan offerings. Flavored with a tasty chili sauce and fermented black beans, this was an intriguing and delicious entree. The sautéed vegetables were tender and beautifully complemented the crisp tofu and yucca, and the arugula salad added a refreshing element. There was a ton--I had leftovers for a truly delicious lunch. I also have to compliment their N/A selection. I ordered the Aplós Ume Spritz, and it was a very delightful way to start my meal. Light, sweet, and a pretty shade of pinkish-purple, it tasted just like a summer party. This would be a great place to grab dinner with friends, family, or that special someone. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and sometimes, they have live music, too! Also, pro tip: don't miss out on a side of bread and butter--it's really tasty here!

I wasn't overly impressed but it was enjoyable and I appreciated what appeared to be an intentionally crafted meal. I didn't try the fries or soft serve so that's next time! I appreciated the salad on the menu and had that too! SERVICE: cool concept-- order at counter, then you get seated. It was efficient but far better than just a "fast food pickup" or traditional counter service restaurant. I also have to say-- efficiency was great. The line was long but was helped quick! PARKING: always hard in Linden Hill. Street parking in neighborhood nearby is the best. Plan for a 5 min walk. AMBIANCE: far better than a typical counter service restaurant but not quite a dine in restaurant feel. Still, I'd bring friends even if I wanted a dine in restaurant because they've done a good job at this concept.

SPACE There are a few 4-tops on the patio in front, a handful of bar seats inside with a small, cozy indoor table footprint, and a handful of 2-3 tops on the back alley. SERVICE The bartender told us to go find a spot on the back alley, so we did - but not sure we did things right, as our server walked past us a few times without acknowledging us. Service was friendly but limited. DRINKS They had a nice cocktail menu, but I opted for an Aperol Spritz. My husband chose off their limited NA menu a lavender honey lemonade, and it was a bit too sweet for him. I'd love to see some mocktail options here! FOOD We just got a few shareables since we were heading to dinner after, but their sandwiches were making my husband's mouth water! We got: Pickle Brined Wings - amazing flavor, salty and dilly, but I would have liked quite a bit more char on them: they were pretty pale. Minnesota Sushi - my husband loved this! Served with Ritz crackers, and it's the perfect little shareable dip.
