   My wife and I had a wonderful time celebrating our Anniversary. We had dinner, which was phenomenal. Then we stayed overnight at the Inn, which was really lovely. Then we had Brunch again the next morning which was amazing as well! Great food, service and accommodations! I highly recommend the Inn and Restaurant!

   We went to an early dinner for our anniversary. Everything was excellent. Our table was lovely, because we were early the dining room wasn’t full so noise level was tolerable. The food was excellent. The Smokey Paloma was delicious. Our server Dan was attentive, funny, efficient. The only problem was we ate too much. All in all it was great and we talked about going back next year.

   The salmon salad is a perfect lunch (good size to share for smaller eaters), and chocolate ice cream for dessert is delicious. Ann makes one feel at home and cared for.

   We arrived  an hour early and we're welcomed and greeted kindly and actually got a table within 10 minutes. It was a wonderful way to spend the day with my mom. We can't wait to come back in the warm weather!

   We went there for a Saturday lunch and it was wonderful. Very quiet with tables of guest all spread out to keep the what little noise there was spread out. Our server was very attentive and happy to give suggestions on favorite foods. When the food came it was plentiful and delicious. Of course the Inn is lovely inside to make it a great place to eat.

    Nicollet Island Inn delivered an absolutely charming and romantic Valentine’s Day experience. From the moment we arrived, the ample parking made things stress-free—a rarity in Minneapolis. The ambiance was intimate, with soft lighting and a cozy, historic feel that set the perfect tone for the evening. The four-course meal was well thought out and executed beautifully: •Bruschetta – A fresh, flavorful start with perfectly toasted bread and vibrant toppings. •French Onion Soup – Rich, savory, and packed with deep caramelized onion flavor. The melted cheese on top was the perfect touch. Just above average •Filet Mignon Medallions & Pan-Seared Halibut – Both entrées were cooked to perfection. The filet was tender and juicy, while the halibut had a gorgeous sear with a delicate, buttery texture. •Chocolate Cake – A decadent and satisfying end to the meal. Rich, moist, and exactly what you want for dessert on Valentine’s Day. Above average The cocktails were also top-notch, well-balanced, and crafted with attention to detail. Service was warm and attentive without feeling rushed, making the evening feel extra special. If you’re looking for a romantic and elevated dining experience in the Twin Cities, Nicollet Island Inn is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back for another special occasion!
