Asters Cafe - Minneapolis

We stopped for dinner drinks because a friend, Jay Roberts, was playing on stage that evening (great show! . Lovely for a date, the atmosphere was lamplit, a bit rustic/eclectic, and cozy. (I 've heard great things about the patio in the summer, butthat ship has sailed for this year. I ordered the winter pear salad, which was fresh and quite enjoyable--lots of good flavorsand textures...a moderate but satisfying portion. My date 's basil flatbread (a round, thin-crust cheese pizza, lol wasalright but basic. Vegetarians, you 'll likely be able to find something suitable and very palatable, albeit peripheral, on themenu. Unless you want a hummus plate, I fear my plant-based friends may be out of luck. I was happy with my meal and wouldprobably visit again, but the signature dishes were meat-based, a surprising missed opportunity for a contemporary menu. Ifyou 're going to order a drink, the chartreuse swizzle the cucumber cutie were excellent.

We stopped in around 5 on a Saturday an we easily got a seat outside. This place has great ambiance to go along with a nice menu for both food and drinks. The bahn mi was decent and so was the cauliflower. Our waiter was great and the service wasquick. We loved the experience and plan to stop back soon.

Great atmosphere with good food and drinks. I enjoyed the sound of the waterfall while eating. However, there were a lot of ants on the patio when I was eating?be sure you aren?t seated at a table near an ant mound!

The atmosphere and the ambiente are special. it feels like a caffe in europa. you have live music and great food. they can't beat the view of the river. for the first time to the brunch, small menus, but the lox was delicious; I would order it again. indoors are best for small groups. their outdoor terrace is large, but does not take any reservations, so it is a short waiting time to business time and beautiful days. we have two drinks and a brunch denomination for about $56 (including control, tipp and $5 cover fee per person for the swing band)

We enjoyed a nice brunch on a Saturday. the hollandaise on the iron benedict was extra creamy and the fennel sausage mixed seasoned and aromen good. the classic turkey sandwich came with a tasty mayo and great brot. the outside seats are quiet and cozy. the service was impeccable.
