C ReyJune 15, 2016Quaint little restaurant with excellent beer, wines, and cocktails. Food menu is very delish. The fish taco torta was one of the best fish sandwiches I've ever had! Make sure to thank the cooks.
City PagesAugust 5, 2014There's a well-curated row of craft beers on tap to try while you decide what to order from the American bistro-style menu. The foods are familiar, but with refinement, and none costs more than $20. Read more
- Shelly ZordichNovember 4, 2014Came here for the first time last night and had such amazing food! The scallops were spectacular and the dry cured duck was probably my favorite! I also love the old fashioned lamps.
Heavy TableSeptember 9, 2015Grab a house-made beef dog, as fat as the fattest Wisconsin bratwurst, with just the right snap in the casing and the absolutely indescribable essence of good old American hot dog through and through. Read more
Rick MonsApril 6, 2013When there's a lengthy wait for a table - and it's only two - sitting at the counter is relatively faster and watching the meals being prepared and plated is educational and entertaining!
One of our favorite restaurants in Minneapolis! Cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Do whatever you can to sit at the kitchen bar and strike up a conversation with the chefs!
Jessie WApril 25, 2013Had a starter of prosciutto and Mozz bread.. Delightful.. And pork belly.. Amazing texture and flavor! Ordered the slow-cooked pork rib served with red cabbage and mashed parsnips. I ate every bite!- Off the "In Between" menu, I highly recommend the Fish Taco Torta. It can be a bit messy to eat, but oh man is it good. If you're there for dinner, try and sit at the kitchen bar.
The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014Roast chicken thighs are described on the menu as "sorta jerk style," and the haystack shoestring fries with pepper aioli are the frites of your dreams. Read more- City PagesMarch 4, 2013Kids menus arrive like little paper-folded fortunes, & kids' meals are only $3 for little kids or $6 for big kids. The menu is full of safe options like tomato soup, shrimp, or grilled chicken.
- Sally NadeauMarch 12, 2012Perfect. Date. Restaurant. Prepare to share! Sit at the kitchen bar for the best view of the action and be sure to get the homemade ginger ale and whatever else the waitress recommends.
Cameron Lazaroff-PuckJuly 21, 2013Jerk chicken, potted meat, brussels sprouts, whatever the ravioli type pasta dish is when you go in. Only downside is the coffee. Fantastic beer selection as well.
I have tried the entire menu and its all good. Ask the staff to help pair the wine as they know their stuff or will ask another staff member who does.
Sarah HaleyApril 10, 2012Pot de Crème: small package, huge flavor of silky butterscotch balanced with the slight bitterness of crème fraîche. $5. Pair it with a Fulton Sweet Child of Vine or any other IPA.
Travel ChannelJanuary 23, 2012One of Andrew Zimmern's favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities. His favorite dish is the shrimp with spring peas, spicy scampi sauce and grilled scallion.- City PagesNovember 26, 2012Voted top 15 places to eat with kids! Kids menus arrive like little paper-folded fortunes, and kids' meals are only $3 for little kids or $6 for big kids.
Sarah LeeMarch 23, 2011Among three we tried the escargot, smoked potato bacon soup, duck, cheeseburger and cavatapi, the kale and gem salad. Everything was amazing, but the burger, the duck and the snails were the best.
Order Brussels sprouts to share and an entree. If you're a beer lover, they have some of the best IPA selections, and more!
Alex SzetoAugust 9, 2016One of the best Frites in town. Burger is fantastic when the kitchen is on top of their game
Peter SDecember 22, 2016Super friendly service, creative dishes, and a fantastic chef's counter. Will be back
Trevor SpriggsJuly 27, 2013Excellent atmosphere, fantastic food! Check out the turkey burger, and definitely take advantage of the late hours!
Metromix ManagerOctober 28, 2011The BLT Kobe Dogs aren’t your average pig-in-a-blanket…and are so delicious! Splurge on some craft beer and the German chocolate cupcakes. Read more
Reed EngerMarch 15, 2015The reverse Bloody Mary is a must. Super concentrated bloody shot, chased with a PBR tallboy.
METRO magazineMay 23, 2012Order the soft-boiled eggs with buttermilk biscuits blanketed in sawmill sausage gravy. This will keep you going all day. Read more
Potted meat, spicy meatballs and spinach salad. Don't bring your vegetarian friends.
Sharifa SimonAugust 6, 2014Great date or special occasion place. Interior is neat, menu great to share!
Sandra HongApril 7, 2012Long wait but delicious! Esp the fish tortas and the potted meat. Also great beer- try grand chu abbey. YUM
EaterApril 23, 2013We really love Tilia for late-night dining and weekend brunch. The restaurant serves its "In-Between Menu" from 10 pm to close every day, so you can always get that fish taco torta. [Eater 18 Member]

- Try the scallops as your appetizer. They are absolutely delicious. You wouldn't want to share ;)
- Alex SzetoSeptember 14, 2012Best fries in the TC, make sure you go after the dinner rush for a table.
Jay SivasailamSeptember 13, 2014Great beer selection and they have cute little dessert treats made for sharing.
Angi DausMay 14, 2011You can literally get anything on the menu! Get a couple plates per person and share! Must get dessert!!!
Jen J.August 18, 2011The beet salad is a must-try - my new #1 all-time favorite (previous #1 was Travail's).
- Jen J.August 12, 2011Beet salad is absolutely amazing - German Chocolate cupcake also highly recommended!!! Great dinner!!!

- Dustin CaseboltJuly 10, 2011The cod is a must!!!! Also the chicken thighs for an appetizer but you must like spicy!
John DaenzerAugust 25, 2011Good food... Cool local place. Wasn't awesome, tho. I'd recommend the fish taco sandwich. Mmmmmm...
