Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Mendota Heights

I walked over from my hotel as I was staying over before flying out the following morning. It was the day after Christmas and it was BUSY. The food was good. I’m had the chicken pot pie. The ambience was a bit loud because of the holiday - but I don’t fault the restaurant. I mean I would definitely come again next time I’m in Minneapolis. It’s also across from Mall of America

Didn't realize that this is the hotel bar. However, after finding some easy on-street parking, our group welcomed a quiet place to gather and share some interesting non-overpriced food and non-stingy drinks before seeing a show at the Ordway. Service was perfect.

Sam was a terrific server My grandson , college student , said the short ribs were the best he had ever had and the serving was a perfect size. For me my go to is the healthy bowls and change up the protein Occasion was as a family get together as son and grandson are here for the holidays

Most lobby restaurants are not the greatest experience. The Milwaukee, however, was a pleasant surprise. From a gracious hostess to a joyful waitress, to a very, very good meal for the four of us. The only food negative was a relatively bland dressing on the Caesar salad. T”My pappardelle was outstanding and the others felt the risotto, burger and salmon were very fine.

This is a very underrated breakfast experience in the Twin Cities. You can park for free with a validation and have a very quiet, mellow brunch with a breakfast cocktail and not get the side-eye on a weekday morning. I work overnights and 72 hour shifts. It’s really a treat to go here to decompress in a benign space after an extended shift. The food is superlative, French inspired; indulgent, but not gutbusting. The waitstaff are outstanding and top-notch. Kind of hate to share this review because it’s my secret!
