Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Golden Valley

We had a lovely dinner with my in laws. The staff was attentive but not overbearing, the cocktails were delicious (they even pleased my FIL!), and the food was outstanding - I especially appreciated the human portion sizes so we didn’t have to take leftovers! We had the gravlax, Caesar with pickled herring, lamb roast, scallops and bison, and all were really tasty!

My wife and I had an excellent experience at the Beacon Public House. We were greeted by our hostess upon arrival and taken to our reserved table. Our waitress was Meili. She was super attentive and very friendly. We had ordered some appetizers and some cocktails to start off followed by a rueben sandwich with sweet potato fries. Very good. Meili stopped over to check up on things several times during our meal which was much appreciated. The restaurant is very close to UMn sporting events which makes this location ideal. After the game we attended, we came back for a nightcap. Our bartender Mara did an excellent job with our cocktails and was also very friendly. This restaurant has a great location, good food and an excellent service staff. We will definitely be coming back again.

We were there celebrating our daughter’s birthday and could not have asked for a better experience.!! Our server was amazing. He was very attentive checking on us regularly. We really enjoyed having DeDe, the robot, bring our food out. She even brought a candle lit serving of cheesecake and sang Happy Birthday😊🎂 It doesn’t get much better than that!!

I can’t believe this place wasn’t packed. Our server was amazing! Super attentive and friendly. Food was excellent. Crispy breakfast potatoes with a cheese sauce. Yum! Yall are sleeping on this one!
