Megan Hollenkamp: excellent lunch menu - from burgers to salmon quinoa salad. our bartender also made a killer pineapple curry concoction.
Eater: Run by brothers Chris and Andrew Ikeda, this new Uptown spot features American food with Asian influences. Think: lobster tostadas and misoyaki salmon. Plus, brunch.
John Blue: Dude. Best water ever. It's like water but most more watery.
Duccio Mondanelli: Amazing deals on the lunch menu. Rolls are delicious.
Quinten MFN Powell: The Wakame Rock Shrimp Tempura is amazing. I'd also recommend the Minneapolis Mule (it has sushi ginger in it!) or the Ginger Pear Cocktail.
Abby: Great late-night HH starting at 9:30 w/ a selection of apps, sushi, specialty rolls and drinks. Highly recommend the Hot & Spicy Girl Roll and the Jeremy Roll. Did I mention they also have a patio?

Alex May: The Hibiscus tea with lime was fantastic, and the Mexican style breakfast was great. The lunch menu looked great, but it was they don't serve it before 11.
Katie Simmons: Awesome brunch, but really great for lunch, too. Go for the oxtail hash or longhorn sandwich.
Heavy Table: Try the Kir Royale ($5), made with currant puree and champagne. If mimosas strike you as too sweet, you'll love this tart, bubbly alternative. Read more.

METRO Magazine: La Loma does a bang-up version of tamales and, drenched in green tomatillo salsa, it's hands down one of our favorite dishes, anywhere.
Ray Olivera: Oaxaca tamales are the best!
City Pages: So you're hungry but have a budget of $3. There's no need to hit up that vending machine or fast-food drive-thru: La Loma serves up something that hits the spot, not the gut. Read more.

Carly Foy: Remind your server that yes, they DO have a lunch menu :/
Brandy Green: Awesome Chicken Curry, Stuffed Mushrooms and Cheesecake Brule. Get the Powers Irish Whiskey instead of the 2 Gingers.
Tim Schaaf: These bartenders/servers bust their butts... please take care of those that take care of you. $$
Chris J: They have a pretty good lunch menu.
Maggie Benson: Burgers are amazing!!! Try the BBQ burger, it's easily the best BBQ burger in town. You dont want the fries though, super thin and therefore get cold REALLY fast.
Chris Duhaime: In the warmer months, sit outside and enjoy the city life.
