Best Global Restaurants in University of Minnesota

The pearl oysters were excellent and it would have been unfortunate if I had not ordered them. The pearls give a nice contrast in texture. I had the Maryland Benedict and was surprised that the eggs weren’t poached, or at least the egg yolk was cooked too long. Same with the scotch egg- the egg wasn’t runny like in the menu description. Having the sausage sit in a pool of honey-dijon ruined it. It’s as if the honey dijon was supposed to make up for the flavorless sausage. However, the other two dishes were great. The server was fantastic and I should’ve stuck with his recommendations. He may have been the bar tender too because he made amazing cocktails for our table. I’d be back for those cocktails.

We had a great experience on Valentine’s Day. From the moment we walked in until we left we were treated with great service. Our server Melia was very knowledgeable and helpful in the choices we made. She provided very personable service. Our food was very delicious. We both had the lamb shank. They provided us with a very nice knife for cutting our meat. This was not needed because the meat literally fell off the bone as soon as you touched it.

The Starling has quickly become a favorite for us. The butter chicken tacos is one of our favorite dishes in Minneapolis and the fries and Old Fashion are pretty great too!

Yes, it's pricey. No way to sugarcoat that. But the food was amazing, the service was top-notch and the restaurant is beautiful. Tables are not crowded together so you won't feel like you are sharing your conversation with the neighbors. The interior is very beautifully decorated. Though it's a seafood restaurant (literally in the name) they do have meat on the menu for the landlubbers you might be dining with. Great for business or an elegant date night. A definite "do again!"

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE from start to finish. Ambiance, service, food and drinks were EXQUISITE! Will be back again soon just to have the julep cocktail and amalfi coast pizza again
