5 of us experienced this awesome restaurant. We let the waitress pick out everything for a four course meal: it was awesome! Eggs and lobster were one of many favorites

My wife and I have eaten in Italian restaurants in NYC, Boston, Chicago, and San Fran. BLG is one of the best Italian restaurants in the US. The crispy insalat is light and dellcious. The egg and lobster brsucheta is fantastic. We split four of the smaller portion pastas: fusilli with lamb meatballs, bucatini with bolognesse, gnocchi with cauliflower and... More

The week before I went on a business trip to Minneapolis, a colleague visited the city and returned to the office raving about Bar La Grassa. So I was thrilled when I found out our group was booked at the restaurant for the week I was going to be in Minneapolis. She was right-on, Bar La Grassa is a fabulous... More

They offer smaller or larger portions and everything I've had here has been fantastic. It's a bit easier to get a reservation now it's been open a while but if you don't get one, they have a bar area you can sit at and order the full menu.

Great, great food. Ambiance and service also wonderful. 112 Eatery is also top notch because its the same chef so you do the math and pick one or both! It can be spendy for a full meal so be prepared. La Grassa is great for couple and groups as it is a sharing plates type of place...really lets you get... More

As an aspiring foodie, I must say I had an amazing time at Bar La Grassa. My boyfriend and I ate family style and ate a couple starter courses, entrees and had dessert and I think I ate and went to heaven. The service was great and that atmosphere was cozy. If I could only eat one thing again for... More

Bar La Grassa is a great restaurant in the warehouse district of downtown Minneapolis. It has a fun , upscale casual atmosphere. The chef, Isaac Becker was named the best chef - Midwest by the James J Beard Award Foundation and the excellent food, just made for sharing, doesn't disappoint. My husband and I usually go with with friends which... More

We have wanted to eat at Bar La Grassa for quite awhile and I had read about this restaurant and about chef Isaac Becker and his James Beard award. We were coming to the twin cities for a long weekend and we made a reservation a few weeks ahead of our visit and we were not disappointed. We started with... More

I love Bar La Grassa! Any time I want to go out to dinner in Minneapolis, I think, is there some place else that could be as good as Bar La Grassa, or would I rather just go to BLG and have a fabulous meal? The food here is that good. The soft eggs with lobster? Decadent. The egg ravioli?... More

good choices on plate size and amazing selections for food; creative and does not have to be expensive either.
