Reviews for Barbette in Minneapolis, MN
The food is wonderful. The variety of entrees is very accommodating! I’m mainly pescatarian while my partner is not, so the... options were wonderful. They also have patio dinning currently but the ambiance inside is also very calming and enjoyable. Iordered the steamed mussels while my partner ordered Steak Frites. The mussels were great but the steak wasn’t medium rarelike we asked. Here’s the best apart, when I told KAT (the staff taking our orders) about the error, she was so extremelyaccommodating. Despite being super busy, she took time to listen to my complaints as well as relate to my situation. Then sheoffered to ask the kitchen remake the entree and we got another steak entree in the way I wanted. The food was so good and thehospitality was even better. Of course Kat was the best part of it all (: Advice: if you need something, ask nicely andpolitely. You’ll be accommodated. Read more
Had lunch here for Restaurant Week 2022 and couldn’t be less disappointed in both service and food quality. I have been to... France and Switzerland and have had real Croque Monsieur: for a French restaurant that calls the menu item by the originalFrench name, I was expecting more than a dry ham sandwich (see picture). The mixed greens on the side were warm and notrefreshing whatsoever. The server never checked on us after bringing the food even though the place wasn’t that busy. Withthese menu prices, there are FANTASTIC restaurants in the twin cities area to try. Will never be back here again. Read more
Had dinner with a couple friends and everything was spot on. Busy, even on a week night, so I'd recommend reservations. The raw... oysters were fresh and yummy, we tries both west and east coast ones! The local cheeses and spreads were delicious and thebaguette was warm and soft. All the food took a bit of time but was made to order and came out hot and fresh. The Roast Pouletwas divine, moist, with the skin cooked to perfection. The demi glaze was spot on and the veggies were delicious. You've got totry the shrimp scampi! The linguine is made IN HOUSE and is PERFECTION! If you order the strawberry crisp, eat fast! It comesout hot so the ice cream melts fast. Read more
My first experience at Barbette most definitely will not be my last....Amazing vibe, Fresh Local flavors and a server that was... hands down, on top of everything!! We loved her!!! When I'm back in Mpls, I'll be sure to be back.... Read more
Great place for a date night. For appetizers we had the beet salad, oysters and bone marrow (not a huge fan of the bone marrow).... For dinner we had the braised beef. A little over cooked but still amazing! Read more
I would recommend this place 100% if you haven't tried it. The food was amazing, we went for restaurant week and had that menu.... Everything was great, we had the butternut squash curry soup, the escargot, shrimp risotto, spare rib with mashed potatoes andthe creme brulee and vanilla ice cream. I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. The staff was also very friendly andgreat! Read more
We had a good time at Barbette. The hostess wasn’t very friendly, but thankfully our waiter was great. We really enjoyed our... brunch. Food was tasty! The ambiance is nice - fun and eclectic. It feels like you’re in Europe. It didn’t bother us, but itcan get quite loud when there are a lot of people. But the vibe is fun! I’d go back. Read more
Service was a little slow, but it was a busy labor day weekend so that's to be expected. We started with a couple of oysters... which were fresh with fresh horseradish. We also had a charcuterie board which had a smoked Bleu cheese that was to die for. Theboard wasn't on the menu, the waitress recommended it as a chef's special. My chicken was absolutely incredible. Tender, moist.It did take about twenty minutes to prepare, the waitress said that was because it had to be made from scratch. Will be back Read more
