This was our first trip to The Sanctuary but it will not be our last. As stated in other reviews, it's very close to the Guthrie Theater so we gave it a try before a Tuesday night show. What a surprise. We were shown to our table immediately upon arriving. Our waiter, Patrick, joined us soon thereafter and told us... more

I was in town with my family for a competition, which I placed in. We were looking for a place for fine dining, and we found THE BEST. The ambiance was wonderful - just dark enough, with a fireplace, and wonderful, rustic but elegant decor. The menu is small but very appetizing. I had the angus filet, which was perfectly... more

Let me first set the expectation for this review by mentioning that on our third date, my lady friend and I thought we were walking into Wasabi Sushi Fusion, located upstairs. Despite the well identified building entrance stating the name of the restaurant we were entering, it was not until we ordered our wine that we figured out we were... more

Really, classy, well concocted meals. Not too heavy, not too light. Just spa-esque satisfying, not to mention a fabulous wine list and ambiance. more

Surprisingly great! Service was some of the best we've had, and the food was really good. Was expecting a more unique menu, but the meat and fish dishes were solid. Good drink prices. more

My wife and I were looking for a new dining experience near the Guthrie and happened on to the Sanctuary. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner experience and would recommend. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and the setting warm and friendly. Our server was knowledgable about the dishes and very helpful. The food was light and very tasty, altogether excellent, even... more

We had a 5:30 dinner reservation for Sanctuary as we had tickets for the Guthrie at 7:30. The server asked if we had tickets to the theater immediately after we were seated and all the food came out at a good, but not hectic pace. We easily made our curtain. The restaurant is nicely decorated, small and the tables are... more

Sanctuary is easily one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities. Local foodies started to pay attention before the restaurant even opened: co-owner/manager Michael Kutscheid, who previously made his name with places such as Oceanaire, Martini Blu and Babalu (and the oft-discussed Kapoochi, which closed before I moved to Minneapolis), promised to create an experience to match the name.... more
