Great, great food. Ambiance and service also wonderful. 112 Eatery is also top notch because its the same chef so you do the math and pick one or both! It can be spendy for a full meal so be prepared. La Grassa is great for couple and groups as it is a sharing plates type of place...really lets you get... More

As an aspiring foodie, I must say I had an amazing time at Bar La Grassa. My boyfriend and I ate family style and ate a couple starter courses, entrees and had dessert and I think I ate and went to heaven. The service was great and that atmosphere was cozy. If I could only eat one thing again for... More

Bar La Grassa is a great restaurant in the warehouse district of downtown Minneapolis. It has a fun , upscale casual atmosphere. The chef, Isaac Becker was named the best chef - Midwest by the James J Beard Award Foundation and the excellent food, just made for sharing, doesn't disappoint. My husband and I usually go with with friends which... More

We have wanted to eat at Bar La Grassa for quite awhile and I had read about this restaurant and about chef Isaac Becker and his James Beard award. We were coming to the twin cities for a long weekend and we made a reservation a few weeks ahead of our visit and we were not disappointed. We started with... More

I love Bar La Grassa! Any time I want to go out to dinner in Minneapolis, I think, is there some place else that could be as good as Bar La Grassa, or would I rather just go to BLG and have a fabulous meal? The food here is that good. The soft eggs with lobster? Decadent. The egg ravioli?... More

good choices on plate size and amazing selections for food; creative and does not have to be expensive either.

My husband and I went to Bar La Grassa before a broadway show on a Friday night, We made reservations and were stuck in traffic and WAY late. I called and let them know we were going to miss our reservation and they said they could hold for 15 minutes but they would work with us when we arrived. They... More

Always a fun stop for a dinner in the North Loop. The wait can be painful and the bar is packed as a waiting area. A bit indifferent to your wait, why would they be otherwise, the place is always packed. Love the fresh pastas, not as crazy about the lobster / egg dish as everyone seems to be, but... More

My family and I dined there during a Christmas outing. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really fun and the food was excellent. The wine list is really, really good too. We had a great experience. My only complaint is that it is too popular and hard to get into!
