All three entrées were excellent. The petite fillet was wrapped in bacon and had blue cheese with a béarnaise sauce on top and was served with sliced apples, not a potato dish. Nothing else came with the fillet so ordered a wedge salad with it. The pork chop was so thick and juicy, see the picture of that. The halibut was served on a base of risotto that was very tasty and had mushrooms in it. The bread basket had pumpernickel bread garlic bread some toasted slices with seasoning salt on it and some pretzels with a little melted cheese on top.

I would definitely recommend calling ahead, no matter what day because seating is limited. It saved us an hour wait. Parking is so so, we parked around the corner on a side street, up a hill. When we arrived we were greeted and brought to our table right away. Our waiter was very personable and very attentive. The one downfall is it is very loud and hard to hear the people you are with. The onion and bacon dip was amazing. Steak sandwich melts in your mouth. The braised beef was a tad dry but still good. Overall, it was worth the stop.

Good choice for an special event such as my sons 18 birthday. Service is impeccable and very nice. Restaurant is huge but book in advance. Not cheap but great quality, meat in particular. Waiters are so kind, we even got a small birthday cake with candles! Will come back!

Cafe Lurcat offers romantic dining right on Loring park, one of the few options here and they have an outside patio. Parking can be a bit of a pain as the meters surrounding it are few, only allow for 2hr parking, there is a $6 cash paylot up the street and they valet for $12. We had a business meeting on the mezzanine level, which offers some seclusion, a restroom, and some cold air conditioning. We had a set menu and I went for the flank steak which came out medium rare, perfect for me. Family style sides included grilled cauliflower and mashed potatoes. Dinner moved along well and things were great but the dessert course seemed to have been forgotten about as it came up about 30 minutes after our meals had be cleared. I love the charm, location and ambiance of Cafe Lurcat, it's a great addition to a stroll through Loring park or the sculpture garden.

My daughter and family brought me to Young Joni. Had no idea what to expect They rave about the pizza and food. My daughter was insistent that we arrive at 4:30 as seating fills up quickly for dinner. She was right. Shortly thereafter people were waiting to be seated. (I don't believe they take reservations.). Diner, take note of this!We were seated at a portion of a high top table. We started with a cooked, spiced cauliflower appetizer that was fabulous. Then several pizzas to share. These wood fired pizzas were delicious! They do have gluten free options.The wood fired oven is in view of the diners. Fun atmosphere! You DO want to dine here!!! A hidden gem.

The fried cheese curds were delicious. They are served with house make triple berry ketchup (secret: there are 4 different berries in the ketchup but they think triple sounds better). The Cowboy burger with root beer and onion rings is a good reason to return. The service is attentive.

Though I'm an old man and still enjoy a simple red sauce and pepperoni pizza, I do enjoy my visits to Pizzeria Lola. They have some great flavor combinations - interesting without being "precious." The Korean slant adds a fun dimension. Good food - nice place!

If you go to this restaurant from mid July thru early September( yearly dates vary) you can take part in their âgenerous pourâ which is $28 for a tasting of 7 various wines throughout your meal. Such a great deal! We had great service and enjoyed all of the wines. For dinner we had two filets and one sea bass. They were prepared perfectly. We had mushrooms and Brussel sprouts as our shared accompaniments. Always a good meal! Ambiance is classy and professional but still comfortable.

My wife and I had dinner here after a visit to the Minneapolis Institute of Art before heading to a wedding in Northern Wisconsin. We ate in the upstairs dining room. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. My martini was great. I started with an excellent steak tartare followed by an unusual preparation of lobster meat stuffed in a deboned chicken leg. That doesnât sound very good, but it was. My wifeâs octopus and clam bouillabaisse was really outstanding, loaded with shellfish. We also ordered a delicious romanesco broccoli atop creamy, cheesy polenta. The food and service were excellent. Highly recommend.

Happy to have secured a place ( this is a highly booked place), I had high expectations - and I was not disappointed! From the oysters, through the scallops, and to the chocolate dessert, everything was exceptional, including impeccable service. The dessert probably tops my list, with a custard inside a "ring" of chocolate and with blackberries and hazelnut brittle on top, simply amazing!
