The view here is great, a very nice atmosphere on a nice day. The food is ok at best, our chopped salad was disappointing, with cold precooked chicken, and not much else besides iceberg lettuce. The food runner needed two reminders to bring us a second plate to share our salad. The waiter didn't bring water until we had finished... More

Recently had a "girls night out" and met at the Wilde Roast. It was the first warm day of spring and sitting on the outdoor patio for drinks and appetizers was just what we all needed after a long winter! We ordered the baked brie and the artichoke dip, both were served in a timely fashion and delicious. Moved into... More

The setting is gorgeous, right along the Mississippi River. On Spring, Summer and early Falls, the outdoor seating is just great. Too bad the food doesn't compliment the setting. My wife ordered a steak salad and ended up being very disappointed with it. While the meat was fine, the salad was all lettuce without anything else of interest. What is... More

The coffee was excellent, but very strong. A few in our party didn't care for it at all. I had the breakfast sammy and it was delicious and very filling. I couldn't resist the smoked gouda hashbrowns so I ordered them as an additional side. I wouldn't order them again as a side, but if they were included with my... More

I've been here several times over the past year with various friends and family, and it's been nothing but a great experience. Even when this place is packed the food and service is still on point. I always get their french toast but those who have been with me have tried a variety of things from the menu and have... More

The Wilde Roast is quaint and wonderful. The Literature major in me lit up when I walked into the restaurant and saw Oscar Wilde staring down at me -- he is brilliant. There is sidewalk seating on a beautiful day, cozy couches and chairs in front of a fireplace, or booth and table seating if that is what you desire.... More

The Wilde Roast Cafe has a counter to pick up pastries and coffee to go or you can sit down for table service. It's located along the river. On a nice day, you could take a walk on the trail along the river. The atmosphere is dark wood and comfortable. It's an older building that is showing it's life in... More

This is by far the best place in Minneapolis to relax with a cup of coffee, great food, decadent desserts and a full bar. The staff are friendly, welcoming and accomodating. The customers are diverse. The ambience is comfortable, sort of where luxury meets reality. If I was only ever able to go to one restaurant for the rest of... More

Visited for a business diner recently. Was pleasantly surprised to see so many value-priced options for wine on the menu. Our group ordered several appetizers and a variety of meals. I had the Blackberry salad with chicken and shared some flatbread pizzas including Thai Peanut and Arugula, goat cheese, and fig. Nice variety and great place for large groups looking... More
