IMO one of the best places to eat at MOA. Service is always very good. Food is very good. I don't have a go-to food, because we have something different every time and I can't think of any disappointments. Also like several of the craft cocktails.

Came here with a friend who recommended it; and I was glad she did. The space was clean, in good repair, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially around special diets. Even with multiple food allergies, I was able to get a nice meal that was hot and fresh. I would absolutely go back.

Normally quite good, but this time was disappointing. Ordered the baby back ribs, and they really looked great (see photo), but they were super-dry and heavily overcooked, to the point of being inedible. I had them returned and got the cheeseburger, which was quite good (especially the salt $ vinegar fries). So, I will give this place rest for some time...

Cedar + Stone, Urban Table

Experience exquisite dining at the Cedar + Stone, Urban Table. Located inside the JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America, our restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Reviewed By YBtravel

Lovely atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Able to make reservations. Staff attentive with management helping the wait staff at all tables. The food was prepared quickly. Very good accompaniments of mashed potatoes and cheese grits. The crispy Brussels sprouts with pancetta were delicious. The short ribs were also very good. Appreciated having better options on the children’s menu such as steak and salmon. The pricing was reasonable. If you sit outside along the wall your meal can be interrupted with smokers on the other side of the wall. The spell of smoke was present when smokers were there. Sitting in the middle of the patio or closer to the building would diminish this unpleasantness.This restaurant is within the JW Marriott. Easy access from your room. Able to charge the meal to your room. Easy access from the Mall of America as well.

This a breakfast we’ll be talking about for a long time! Had to wait a bit for a table, but there’s a nice hallway and toys for kids to play with. Breakfast was worth the wait! Everything we had (chicken fried steak, eggs, bacon, sausage, Swedish pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, potatoes) was delicious. And there were numerous other things on the menu we would love to try. Service was excellent! Highly recommend!Thank you very much for your compliments and kind words! I'm glad you mentioned our fantastic breakfast food, it's definitely hard to beat!! We take pride in our service and our delicious meals and we absolutely love hearing your feedback. Thank you again!

Hazelwood Food and Drink

Hazelwood Food + Drink, a full-service restaurant and bar debuted in Bloomington on August 16, 2016 on 8150 26th Avenue South, just across the street from the Mall of America. Hazelwood features several favorite menu items, along with many new selections.

First time at Hazelwood for our first visit to Minnesota. We arrived at 8:45 on a Sunday night (open until midnight) and it was over half full. We were seated and greeted quickly. Sadly, they were out of the mussels, which my wife really wanted. She reordered to a Rotisserie Chicken, which came with Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Sautéed Green Beans, while I got the Juicy Linus, a spin-off of Minnesota’s famous Juicy Lucy. I upgraded to Tater Tots as a side, plus we got an Iced Tea plus a glass of wine. It all came to $50.22 plus tip. Our server, after the embarrassment of the shortage, did an excellent job taking care of us. The food itself was great: the chicken was savory and tender, with good sides. The burger, served with only a bun, was also very good. I added mayo (there were no condiments nor veggies on the burger, just meat and cheese) and it, along with the inside and outside cheese, was good. The bun was exceptional. The order of Tots came with six small ones, but they were clearly hand made. Thank you for the great review and compliments. We are so sorry that we were out of mussels but happy to read that your wife enjoyed the rotisserie chicken. The Juicy linus is just cheese. Yes the tater tots are handmade. :)We look forward to seeing you again!

Original Pancake House

Reviewed By RMrena

Enjoyed OPH Omelette and changed option to Goat Cheese. Also shared GF pancakes with my wife who has a Gluten Allergy. Always tasty and fast. Get there early or for brunch or call ahead to put your name on the list which will save you time when you get there. Interior of restaurant is dated but that’s part of why it’s the OPH. Servers are fast and courteous.

Ciao Bella

Reviewed By Lilian M

The dinner started off nice with endless bread from an enthusiastic waiter (shout-out Brian). While we were waiting for the food took a trip to the bathroom... SO NICE. Full length mirror, good sanitation and a pleasing aroma. When our dinner arrived I was very pleased by my meal, however the portions are very small. One of my friends that ordered the fettachini Alfredo said that hers tasted very lemony. Other than this minor setback I would totally recommend this place for anyone looking for a fancy restaurant. Whether it’s to impress a date, flex that you are well off, or for an anniversary dinner, Ciao Bella is the place to be!
