Reviews for The Sonder Shaker in Minneapolis, MN
One of our favorite restaurants not just in Northeast, but in all of Minneapolis! The vibe is great, drinks are good, and every... single thing we've ordered for food has been fantastic. Pork chop - fire! (But sadly not on the menu anymore.) Brussels sproutsare amazing. Fries are a must. Jalapeño pesto pasta is unique, and great! And I saved the best for last - get the burger. Oneof the best in the city! Read more
Birthday dinner with my family. Started off with appetizers, Brussels sprouts which were excellent and short ribs. For dinner we... chose 2 burgers, 2 jalapeño pesto pasta and 1 skirt steak with mushrooms. Everyone was extremely happy with their choices.Fancy drinks were ordered and beautifully presented. Dessert was a must, we ordered the Banana split with banana bread andhomemade strawberry sauce and chocolate mousse. They also gave me a large piece of chocolate cake with sprinkles. Happy birthdayto me !! Thank you for a very nice evening!! Read more
Happy hour has some worthwhile deals, but service was slow on a Monday at 5 oclock. $8 brisket fries were mostly tastey, but I... got a really fatty portion of meat. "Delilah" cocktail tasted a bit soapy due to the rose flavor. Good atmosphere, I would giveit another try but today was just a 3 star visit. Read more
Very disappointing. After making a reservation, still had to wait. When finally seated, 2 servers kept circling our table... without stopping, had to talk to the host to get service. The food was also extremely disappointing. The crabcakes, thin deepfried patties, tasted like the cardboard box they came out of. The walleye looked and tasted bland. The shrimp and grits werebland, and tiny shrimp. Was told they would be butterflied on the grill, definitely grilled but again small and right out of afrozen bag, definitely not fresh or even large enoughto be butterflied. Save your $100+ and find another place for food.Actually had to go somewhere else to have dinner. Doubled our cost for a nice dinner out. Let's end on a positive, the oldfashioned was delicious, hats off to the bartender. Read more
For the oysters, photos added. The baked cheese masked the caviar and was a bad pairing. It was also priced at about triple to... four times what it should have been. I hear this place is good on normal nights, avoid on nights that require reservations orHolidays and weekends. They ran out of food on a reservation only Valentines night???? and only let us know after 2 hours/afterwe ordered our food. Trust me you don?t want to be here when things hit the fan. Avoid busy nights like the plague. *Update,they did provide a gift card refund. I appreciate that and have updated the review. Still ruined valentines day with my SO butrespect the response.

Loved all the drinks here and food was really good too. Happy hour is the best time to come. The wait staff is awesome too!!!
This place is seriously amazing! Right from the start the service was great. Our server Brandon was top notch. The cocktails... were really creative and tasty. Appetizers were great, the perfectly seasoned, crispy smash burgers lived up to the hype! Andthe bananas Foster bread pudding was to die for. We will definitely be back! Read more
This happens to be one of our go to places to eat. Been here many times and the food is always very good. The mussels are my... absolute favorite and must have. I tried a new appetizer on their menu, blue crab with avocado on endive cups. It was a misson several levels. First it was a very light smear of the mashed avocado with a little amount of blue crab mixed in which Icould not see or taste. To make it worse it was topped with Fresno chili and spice mixture which overpowered such a delicatedish. This one needs to be rethought. Can?t win them all but I will be back for my favorites!
