Best Global Restaurants in Longfellow

Our entire experience exceeded expectations…innovative menu was exceptional. Professional staff were gracious, experienced, personable, helpful and knowledgeable. There was tasty music and we could converse and hear. I highly recommend Young Joni for an adventure into fresh dining experience dealt by professional staff.

Service was exceptional. It was a cold day in Minneapolis so starts we had chowder and lobster bisque, both excellent. The milk bread was soft and warm. I recommend the Swordfish.

The pearl oysters were excellent and it would have been unfortunate if I had not ordered them. The pearls give a nice contrast in texture. I had the Maryland Benedict and was surprised that the eggs weren’t poached, or at least the egg yolk was cooked too long. Same with the scotch egg- the egg wasn’t runny like in the menu description. Having the sausage sit in a pool of honey-dijon ruined it. It’s as if the honey dijon was supposed to make up for the flavorless sausage. However, the other two dishes were great. The server was fantastic and I should’ve stuck with his recommendations. He may have been the bar tender too because he made amazing cocktails for our table. I’d be back for those cocktails.

We had a great experience on Valentine’s Day. From the moment we walked in until we left we were treated with great service. Our server Melia was very knowledgeable and helpful in the choices we made. She provided very personable service. Our food was very delicious. We both had the lamb shank. They provided us with a very nice knife for cutting our meat. This was not needed because the meat literally fell off the bone as soon as you touched it.

The Starling has quickly become a favorite for us. The butter chicken tacos is one of our favorite dishes in Minneapolis and the fries and Old Fashion are pretty great too!
