Our Customers Say:

From the first dish of bread, I knew the food would be great.  My date and I were pleased with the flavors (lime dressing and candied orange rinds on a salad; both unexpected and delicious!) and the large portions. Beef Wellington. Delicious.
-Michelle A. via Yelp
The Restaurant continues to be amazing. We dine here at least once a month (but may or may not have eaten here two consecutive nights recently… yum…) The tasting menus are exceptional.
-Kelly M. via Yelp
What a great find, great food/wine. Vegetarian/Vegan friendly. Located in a quaint old Victorian house.
-Joyce B. via TripAdvisor
Wow best brunch we’ve had in Rochester by far. The service and food were amazing!
-Aaron C. via Yelp
Went here last night for the first time. Yum! And they had the prosecco I had when I was in Venice last summer.

THE FOOD! THE FOOD! It is all about the food. Regardless of everything else, The Restaurant food gets 5 stars. My wife and I walked here one evening after searching for a close restaurant on Yelp, and saw the 5 star ratings. We are both connoisseurs of salmon, my wife having lived in Alaska! Hawaii, and the California coast. She had the salmon dinner salad and I had the “salmon mosaic” – wild salmon woven with fresh walleye. A good fish plate starts with the fish, and this was excellent, fresh fish, prepared perfectly. The High Line Pinot was an excellent pairing.
-John L. via Yelp
I do a fair bit of travel, and when I found myself in Rochester, MN, I turned to Yelp to find the best stuff in town. I was not disappointed with any of my choices, and was very delighted with The Restaurant.
