Best Restaurants for Groups in South Minneapolis

As usual, friendly staff, and the food was delicious.

My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a day date in celebration of our kids being back in school and due to realities of our evening time constraints. Due to the wonders of Instagram we found ourselves at Stonegarden and it did not disappoint. From reception to presentation, we could not have been happier. The drinks and food were fantastic, as was the service. The menu is thoughtful, without being overwhelming, and yet everything begged to be tried. We can’t wait to come back to try more of the menu.

Wonderful experience and will definitely be back! Started with sticky ribs to share (except me, not GF), I had a wedge salad - both were amazing. Best wedge I’ve had& ribs fell off the bone good. Had filets and salmon with mashed potatoes and broccolini sides. Steaks were best we’ve had (better than Manny’s or Murray’s IMO), salmon was a bit chewy & miso flavor was “interesting” with salmon. Not my daughter’s favorite but still good. Service was great & as many have mentioned it is not quiet. Hard to hear sometimes. Casual dining with great food. Came home smelling like I was at a campfire though.

Amazing bloody mary and mimosa bar, almost a meal in themselves! We were celebrating a birthday, which got us a free photo booth token and dessert to share. I didn't realize how big this place is! We were seated in the quieter dining side, but the live music playing in the other area wasn't too loud. Looks like a nice happy hour, too, so we'll have to return soon for that!

Copper Hen never disappoints! From the beautiful ambiance to fantastic staff to delicious food, it always rates 100% for me! Also, in addition to great cocktails, they have a solid selection of zero proof options. Go here!
