112 Eatery

I realy enjoyed eating here. My lounch was so delicious. Staff was friendly and make me feel good. I enjoyed everything I odered. Atmosphere was excellent.

The food is outstanding, with incredible and sometimes really unique flavors that create bursts of joy for a discerning palette. It's been years since we had eaten here but tried it on a whim on a weeknight when we could get in.

There's seating in the main level and upstairs. We were upstairs, where it has its own bar. Service (Arie?) was impeccable! Super knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being creepy, and made really great recommendations.

Our favorite dish was the burrata....omg!

I think this is a solid New American restaurant that serves many upscale and at time fusion Italian dishes. It is one of the most recommended restaurants in the Twin Cities, and I can definitely see why upon visiting it. The food is just overall very solid and reliable in terms of quality and taste, which I appreciated very much.

My partner and I ordered a few different kinds of pasta, and they were all tasty and not too rich. I cannot remember if the shredded cheese was added to the pasta after the dish was given to us or not, but if it wasn't, then that would be a good idea. The caramelized green beans were slightly overcooked on the tips and edges, but I thought that may be less evitable due to the caramelization. In terms of dessert, both the tres leches cake and the cheesecake along with pistachio ice cream were very tasty!

Overall I think this is a great place for one to go on a date and I would highly recommend it! The great thing about 112 Eatery is that as much as I don't find something I want to excitedly rave about about this restaurant's food, I also don't have anything I want to say that is constructive, which means that they have perfected their tactics and food quality over the years and have demonstrated their reliability, so that's the phrase I will describe them: reliably good!

We started the evening with a brown butter bourbon, the 112 Eatery special. It's the creamy and smoky taste that would bring me back again some day.

Their plates are like tapas style, each piece is unique, and not oversized. Tagliatelle with Foie Gras Meatballs is our favorite. Just when you thought you were full, and debating... we ordered the mocha mousse, OMG, you would regret if I you didn't. It's so smooth and delightful.

Ambiance is dark and trendy. Servers seem dry and jittery,  while knowledge and friendly. We think everyone would be happier and provide better service if more staff at peak time.

I went back to 112 Eatery over the weekend and the food quality held up to my last visit. I still think the stringozzi with lamb sugo is one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. My husband and I also tried the octopus which was fantastic - it was perfectly cooked and lightened up with the avocado purée and herbs. I highly recommend this dish! We also tried the sweet and sour crab salad and shrimp with rooster mayo, and they were both good. We agreed the crab salad needed some fat to cut through the zip of the dressing, but still very tasty.

The restaurant itself was very busy with lots of diners and staff. The rooms were dimly lit and the decor was nice.

Where this visit lacked was service. I will preface this by saying we were 5 minutes late to our reservation which is annoying, especially during peak weekend hours. The hostess was very kind, but our server was rude. We were rushed through the service unnecessarily. A few times he tried to clear plates that had food on them and glasses with wine still in them. There were open tables, so we didn't think this was necessary. Additionally, when we asked how he recommended we split out the dishes between two of us, he offered no help and walked away. He had no recommendations for dishes to try or wines he liked. It felt like we weren't welcome and was quite a difference from the last time I visited.

Haven't been here since probably 2019. I loved coming here because of the crab salad and figured I'd come back again for it. This time around it wasn't as good as I remembered. The portion was definitely smaller than what they used to give and it wasn't as crisp and fresh. It still had good flavor but the leafy greens were more softer and a bit wilted.

I loved loved loved the cauliflower fritters that I could eat a whole bucket! Drinks were really tasty! We decided to share the pasta dish and that was really good ! I do enjoy that they still offer complimentary olives and sweet and spicy nuts. My fiancé is allergic so I ate them and gave him the olives.

We did not have a reservation but we're able to get seated upstairs at the bar which is my go to. It started getting more packed after 6pm.

The ambiance was a hit and miss as o felt the music was having a bit of a personality battle. We would go from classical music to techno robotic music to rap to softer music and just didn't know what the vibe was for the night.

Service was really good and felt that the wait on food wasn't bad.

This place has such a good reputation; I was expecting an expensive fine dining experiencing, but I was pleasantly surprised with it's more laid back atmosphere. It had a white table cloth menu without the fabric, lol. Also, there's a $15 burger on the menu, so that's kind of funny.

The fish was cooked absolutely perfect, one of the best I've had. Perfect outer texture. It was crisp, but not brittle. Also the fish was seasoned even and appropriately.

The Burrata Toast was VERY good. The marmalade added a perfect sweetness underneath the pesto/burrata cheese.

The foie gras meatballs were absolutely heavenly! I visited the restaurant alone, which made it a bit sad that I couldn't indulge in more items from the menu. However, if I ever find myself in the city again, there's no doubt that I'll be returning for another unforgettable dining experience.

I really enjoyed my meal at 112 Eatery! The restaurant itself has very simple, rustic decor, but the food speaks for itself. We ordered the Romaine salad, Crab Salad, Octopus, Pan-Fried Gnochhi, Tagliatelle with Foie Gras Meatballs, Nori-Crusted Bavette with Ponzu, and Cauliflower Fritters. I have to say that I enjoyed everything we ordered. The biggest standouts for me were the Octopus, Crab Salad, and Tagliatelle with Foie Gras Meatballs.

The service was great! Our waitress provided more in-depth descriptions of some of the menu items with recommendations. The food came out in an appropriate amount of time, and our waitress checked in at good intervals. I highly recommend 112!

I came here for a work dinner and there were 11 of us total. 112 Eatery did a great job of accommodating us by seating us in a private room, and allowing us to pre-order wine and appetizers. Our server was very attentive and never left a wine glass empty.

All of our appetizers, entrées, and desserts were fabulous! Everything was very flavorful. For appetizers, you'll definitely want to get the country love with whipped butter- fresh bread with really good salted butter, what could be better?! For my entree I ordered the Nori Encrusted Sirloin with Ponzu. The char on the steak was perfection! My favorite side was the Pan-roasted salsify with lobster velouté. It wasn't at all what I was expecting, but the cream sauce over the root vegetable was so tasty!

Don't skip dessert and definitely order the Tres leches cake. I was unsure how this would be- but it blew my mind! The Mocha mousse torte was my second favorite.

If I lived close by, I would frequent this place often for a nice dinner or a romantic date!
