About this business

Specialties The Aster Cafe is located under the trees on the prettiest street in Minneapolis. Overlooking the mighty Mississippi river and the skyline of the city, the Aster is a candle-lit restaurant-bar with a sweet European patio. Live music, great brunches, craft beers and cocktails, and a thoughtful wine list add up to City Pages calling us the "best place to go on a first date". Under Executive Chefs Drew Ledo, our menu is fresh (no deep fryers.) and inventive. We also have lovely spaces for events and weddings, which ... read more

Tonight I visited Aster for the first time. The atmosphere was cozy enough but unfortunately, the service and food were both below par. The salad was sopping wet with dressing and at 15 bucks, the sandwich better be big, tasty and special. It wasn't. Instead, it was small, uninspired and soggy. They get one more chance.

Aster Café is one of my favorite places to go. It is intimate, warm, and full of music (much of the time). Looking out the windows you see a gorgeous, picturesque background of the Minneapolis cityscape behind it and walking paths nearby to enjoy nature in the city. This is a Minneapolis must if you have never been!

I love Aster's food and wait staff. I just can't figure out why it takes so long for the food to come. At first, I thought it may just be the day- but it's been like that each time I've been there (a half dozen). Otherwise, I love it! I just need to know that when I go, I must allow more time. :)

The atmosphere is very cool chill but a little too dark to read the menus. The bartenders made excellent drinks and the servicer was very friendly. Has one of the best views of downtown Minneapolis in the Fall. #AsterCafe
