Namaste Cafe - Minneapolis

The food was very good. The drinks highly overpriced. A glass of Rose was $17.50 which I think is truly too much. Decor is so so and the staff was ok but not great. All in all not bad but not outstanding.

From cocktail to dessert, this restaurant is excellent! The servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The beet salad was layered with flavors including horseradish, a unique and delicious addition to one of my favorite salads. The ravioli with brown butter is delicious, of course. The steak frites was like butter. How do they make it so tender? Sous vide? For dessert, we shared the Mille-Feuille. It was light and fluffy and reminded us of tiramisu. Yum! Oh, and don't skip the laminated brioche. It's worth the calories!

Everything was extraordinary! Highly recommend the Gigi cocktail. The Laminated Brioche is bread heaven (sort of a buttery, peppery croissant from Sebastian Bakehouse). The Roasted Beets and Parisian Carrot salades are yummy. We shared Raviole du Dauphine, and they are scrumptious. Favorite thing among all of these spectacular dishes was the Icelandic Cod. Perfection! We dined early before going to an FC Cincy game. Timing was wonderful, and the gathering crowds made it vibrant.

Likely one of my new favorite restaurants in Cincinnati. The only part of the reservation I didn't like was sitting in the room in very back- it was very dark and was sad to miss the beautiful sunlight on an early sunny evening (also couldn't get any good pictures for our occasion). The food was phenomenal! Beyond words for the qualify and attention to the flavors and details of each dish. Will be back asap!

Really enjoyed Colette. Many different flavor profiles and with an excellent execution of each dish. We started out with the brioche and salted cod as starters. The brioche was beautiful with perfect amount of salt and pepper. The salted cod was very different, creamy and delicious. For the salad course we actually did the mushroom entree which was simply amazing and the best bite of the night. The combination of sauces and perfect char on the mushrooms truly were outstanding. From there my wife and I shared two entrees the steak frites and the duck confit. The duck was perfectly cooked, with an amazing skin however the pairing with whole beans and a buried lack luster sauce left the dish lacking. It really could be so much more with that well executed duck, but it just wasn't there. Any other sauce pairing or more finely cooked grain accompaniment would make this so much better. The steak frites were good. The sauce here was well prepared and the frites excellent. The steak was very tender and well cooked but a little cool. The steak could have used a bit more char and heat. We finished with the mousse which was a nice finish. The meal started out really strong, but peaked at the mushrooms. Wish the entrees could have been a bit better. Gabby was our server and provided excellent navigation of the menu and was quite excellent.
