Dexter's — Restaurant in Minneapolis

I arrived at Dexter’s to find out that they closed the patio for the night due to weather predictions, which is where my reservation was. I was told that they texted everyone that had a patio reservation and it would be over an hour wait for the dining room. I looked through my messages and I did not have a text. The host, Tion, was also able to see on their end that they actually did NOT text me, and also saw the dinner was to celebrate my birthday. Tion took action immediately and prioritized us for the next table.

While we were waiting for the table, we were taken to the closed patio (since it did not end up raining) and Tyler brought us an entire bottle of sparkling rosé on ice, and 3 appetizers on the house (tallow fries, onion rings, and trout roe). My 3 friends and I were extremely impressed at the customer service and willingness to make up for the communication mistake— especially since I had not made a fuss about it at all. After a few minutes of VIP patio service, they relocated all our appetizers and bottle for us to the dining room and we were sat promptly! We ordered a couple other things— fried pickles, a cheese charcuterie, a dirty martini and an espresso martini. When it came time to order entrées, we were FULL and took our small check! The food was very good but my service experience here was excellent. Tion and Tyler stood out to me, but 5-6 awesome staff members were making sure we were taken care of!

I will be coming again and I will order an entree next time… LOL. Can’t thank you guys enough for an awesome evening! Can speak for my whole group when I say we...

I saw the reviews and had to give it a try, BUT this did not hit on any level for us. Everyone of us were left not feeling well after we got home.

Started with Wings, cauliflower and tallow fries. Wings had a really thick breading and I could almost smell a little of that not so pleasant chicken smell to the when I bit into it. Fries were cold and hard when they arrived to our table and our server didn't come back for so long it wasn't worth bothering with, so we kept them. Cauliflower was good, but a tiny portion for the money and I the last one to complain about spending money on food.

2 of us had burgers, both were beyond over cooked, the skirt was almost the entire burger and a solid 2" all the way around of both patties we're almost as hard as beef jerky. Again server didn't come back for a while, so we just kept it. Buns were great and I feel like the quality of the meat and cheese was good, the cook just got got it a little too much last night.

We all agreed that the kids chicken stripes were the best thing we ate last night. Good flavor.

Coconut cake was good. With the experience we had with every other aspect of the meal, I absolutely would not make a special trip just for it, but if you find yourself here and want dessert, try it.

When we were leaving these was another couple walking down the stairs and the lady said "we'll that definitely wasn't the best dining experience we've had" and the gentleman with him replied "Yeah that definitely wasn't the best". So it left me a little confused on how this business has a...

Found out about this place from a coworker. The online review was great, and given that my wife and I had a great experience eating at Parlour Bar in St. Paul, the price didn't really deter me from trying.

It's a Sunday at 1:30 pm, the church crowd is no longer around and the restaurant was quiet with less than a dozen people dining there. The floor was not cleaned when we were there as my friend stepped on some leftover fries even before sitting down. The table was so wobbly too that there was no way we could've had any drink on that table so we moved to the bar.

Having done our homework, we didn't waste time looking at the menu so we told the server right away what we wanted: a dexter burger($17) and a serving of fries($11).

I like my food piping hot when it comes to my table. That is why i was surprised by how fast it came. It did not take more than 4 minutes for the food to show up before me. My suspicion was confirmed. The burger was obviously reheated, overcooked, and salted to death.

Given the price point and the quality of the patty (wagu?), I would think the option of doneness is a must and that it is made to order. It was not. Well done all the way; not only that, the fries tasted like its been sitting under the lamp for quite some time. I did not bring it up to the staff at the time because I did not want to be a difficult customer.

The staff was kind and professional. The atmosphere was relaxing and all. But I don't think I will be returning...
