RH Rooftop goes beyond others. By far one of the best dating restaurants in Minnesota. Staff were polite, knowledgeable, quick, and professional. Food was delicious, perfectly portioned, and harmonious with our stay. I recommend arriving a little early to enjoy the beauty of their lobby, stairways, and gallery.

This is a MUST go to. Boketta was above and beyond our expectations - both service and food. We were celebrating a birthday with 5 in our group. We all agreed Boketta was top tier. It started with our server Golf. He was so knowledgeable as well as fun. Answered each question and provided recommendations that were helpful. He went above and beyond making each of us feel at home and welcome. The food…everything we had was exceptionally delicious and the portions were generous. We shared a few appetizers - one being the sticky ribs - and one person in our party ordered them again as an entree. We’ll definitely go back!

Had the pear sandwich for dinner, the queso for the chips was homeade and next level good. My date had the bison tacos, they were delicious. We had the lemon ricotta hot cakes and bison Benedict for breakfast the next morning. The service was excellent, I am going to recommend it to everyone going to Minneapolis and I will definitely go again.

Met a business colleague there for lunch and was impressed. Lots of light made the space feel open and airy. Menu was diverse. I chose the meatloaf which was a daily lunch feature and my friend had the Reuben which he said was excellent and looked amazing. The meatloaf was very good and a large portion. I would come back for happy hour to see who the restaurant draws in the evening.
