Had an order of the Thai Curry ($16): Tofu, rice, and vegetables. Food was delicious, staff was knowledgeable, and the ambiance was chic.

AVOID AVOID AVOID! – I just had an extremely disappointing experience at Spoonriver, which shouldn't shock me, because my previous meal there was terrible. When I entered, nobody greeted me, and when I was finally approached, the hostess was cold and brusque, and reluctantly seated me outside. The waitress was inattentive: I had to ask repeatedly for condiments and waited an inordinately long amount of time to get them. I also asked repeatedly for water and never got a refill. It was during the lunch hour and not at all busy... read more

I've had many meals at Spoonriver. Brenda is amazing and the food is always fresh,interesting and full of flavor. The best part about Spoonriver... You know where your food came from! All Local and Organic!

Absolutely the best restaurant in Minneapolis. Brenda buys fresh local ingredients & makes the most delicious gourmet food. I have been following Brenda since she opened Cafe Kardamina, a hole in the wall restaurant in St Paul circa 1970,s with great food and have been following her ever since religiously.

Wonderful! – My daughter got married this weekend at the Mill City Museum (great venue!). Our out of town guests stayed at Aloft (very nice!) and we wanted to have a day-after-the-wedding-brunch nearby. We chose Spoonriver for its proximity, initially, and are very happy we did! We thought about 25 people would show up, but many more did, descending on the little restaurant like an invading army. The staff were gracious and unflappable and arranged for everyone to be seated in short order, outdoors and at every available tab... read more

Enjoyed the Food – The friendly staff made us very welcome in this relaxing environment. All three of us enjoyed our food, and we will definitely revisit. The Tofu Scramble was flavored well, with the vegetables cooked perfectly.

Ditz city – For all the press they get you'd think they knew how to cook. The waiter picked his nose in fron of us and wiped it on his apron. The owner tried to schmooze us, yet when we told her of our distaste for bland watery food took umbrage with the commentary. For what is supposed to be an upscale place I find it to be little more than a dump full of flakes who pick their noses or act like passive aggressive wimps. We left booger boy a napkin for a tip.

Tofuuuu – I had brunch at Spoonriver a few weeks ago, and I have eaten there 2 or 3 other times. Most recently, I ordered the delicious scrambled eggs, which were mixed with chevre and topped with truffle oil. My friend, however, ordered the tofu scramble, and as soon as the server set it down, I could smell the ginger and spices steaming up from it. I happened to read the last comment about this dish, and I couldn't disagree more. Although I only had a few bites, I found the dish to be tasty and well-seasoned. A lot of rest... read more
