Tami Cabrera: French fries with Bearnaise, Hanger Steak, and Mini-Donuts....these are my favorite things here! And the live music. Tell them they need Muddy Paws Cheesecake on the menu though :)
Michael Clarke: The Key Lime Cheesecake Creme Brulee is out of this world! Split one with two friends and we had to order a second!
Meg Knodl: apple, manchego, chive salad = must

Doug Adelmann: We had the fried chicken, pimento Mac n cheese and hush puppies. The biscuits were the highlight with honey butter of course. Everything was great!
Noel: Great fried chicken! Service was great, oysters and clams remind me of the caribbean; delicious! It was a great experience!
Allison Niksich: Great seafood and cocktails! Oysters, smoked fish salad, tuna tar tar, salmon - get it all! Definitely check out the roof deck on a nice day :)
City Pages: Voted Best Brunch by City Pages in 2011! They have creme brulee french toast, mini eggs benedict, and even strip steak! Definitely a place for indulgence!
William Larson: The Nicollet Island Inn is a great place for special occasions. We got engaged here!
City Pages: For river watching at it's most elegant. Renowned for both its accommodations and its menu, the Nicollet Island Inn also has a scenic patio and free parking. Read more.

Abby Anderson Jones: Love the Bloody Marys here! Great brunch menu, including brunch sandwiches.
Heavy Table: The trio of cured salmon is fresh, silky, and served with a kick-ass dill, rye, and anchovy marinade. Be sure to order the bourbon caramel sundae to top things off. Read more.
Andrea Kopfmann: Have a blushing belle for a late night sweet treat. Leave your lips luscious for those good night kisses.

Bobby Kennedy: Generous amount of local beers on tap plus a great happy hour. Loved the BELT sandwich with egg and bacon from a MN farm.
John Alspach: Check out the art by local artist John Alspach
City Pages: A splendidly sophisticated spin on tired mozzarella sticks, ricotta fritters are breaded & fried.Truffle honey gets drizzled over them before serving which compliments the salty layer. Read more.

Diana Daniels: Excellent homemade guac!!
City Pages: Brush up on your high school Spanish skills while conversing with bartender Eddie over his signature "Everyday Eddie" drink. This fruity Avión Tequila cocktail will have you shouting "¡delicioso!"
Liz Giel: If you like great food & drinks with incredibly bad service, this is the place for you! Used to love Barrio, but the past few times I've gone have been awful. Hit up Masa instead.
