Best Brunch Restaurants in University of Minnesota

My wife and I did the Champagner Brunch at Baldamar on Nov. 23. It was fantastic; everything we hoped it would be. The wait staff was very well informed about the food and drink offerings, and provided us with valuable insight. The food was very good, though somewhat hit and miss. The Scallop and pasta dish was fantastic; we ordered it twice. The crab cake was more cake than crab. The calamari was very good, as was the lamb curry. The cocktails, and limitless champagne and wine, were great. They did not go cheap on their alcohol offerings. Bottom line, it was a memorable experience for our anniversary celebration, and well worth the expense.

This place was awesome! Had the smash burger with peanut butter!! Absolutely phenomenal! Wish I lived closer because this would be my go to spot!

Great food, absolutely wonderful server, fun atmosphere!

Mostly French inspired dishes, which were good portion size and flavorful. The weak link here, is the service which is slow; I think the pacing between when you order and when you receive your item can be improved, especially with drinks. My wife ordered an NA mocktail, which turned out to be unavailable but it took 10 minutes for our waiter to communicate that, then it was showing on the bill (it was removed after I noted the error).

Good food; great value. Our server, Carlos, was very good despite the many tables he seemed responsible for. He promised us that he would manage timing so that we could get to Orchestra Hall timely and he kept his word. Well done, Carlos! We’ll be back.
