Newspaper-themed restaurant known for its traditional American menu and impressive decor. – In Short Each room is inspired by a section of the newspaper, with a giant stock ticker tape winding around the ceiling in the business section and TVs broadcasting classic movies in the entertainment section. And every wall is papered with blown-up front pages. Appetizers include Buffalo wings and pan-seared scallops with caramelized shallots. Choose among 15 salads and a dozen pastas. Meat-and-potato entrees include fish, steaks and... read more
Nice Lunch Spot – My wife and I enjoyed a very nice lunch at one of the outdoor tables. Knew nothing about this place until we walked by. The Cajun Popcorn appetizer was perfectly spiced, lightly battered, and came drizzled with a wonderful remoulade. Most renditions are way overspiced and hidden in thick soggy batter. Our sandwiches were also perfect. Nice balance of flavors. Mine included perfectly done fries, and my wife's included what looked to be homemade potato chips. Prices were reasonable. Service was very good, and... read more
Trendy but overrated – I had breakfast on Sunday at the Newsroom. I agree with the previous reveiwer it should be Bad News. First, the host was aloof when I asked if I could sit at the bar for food. The bartender serving as a waiter was good. He was attentative and friendly but then not that busy. When my food I arrived (i ordered eggs, bacon, pots) the food wasn't that good. I mean for bacon and eggs and pay $9.00. I have to say the coffee is some of the best I have had in minneapolis. For breakfast the next day I went to P... read more
Worst Service Ever Experienced – First impression of the restaurant were good. Busy, with a lively atmosphere. Couple of things to point out: Good selection of beers.,but beware; tap beers only come in a small glass. The glass sizes resemble a European 1/2 pint. We enjoyed the food, and the portions were quite big. HOWEVER, i would have to say that i have never experienced service like this in my life. It took 10minutes after being seated before we had a drinks order taken and a further 10 before our food order. We received ... read more
Lost in reservations! – Overall... I had a good time. The food was excellent, and the service was fantastic. And the martinis... uh... FANTASTIC!!! The only problem that I had, was that they didn't have my reservation, knowing that I put one in earlier in the week. It was for my wife's b-day and I know 12-15 people were going to be joining us. They (The Newsroom), corrected the problem by seating us anyway and took 5% off our tab. Which was given back (and then some) in the tip. So, I'd strongly recommend this place to anyon... read more
Rude, inexperienced server! – Food, overpriced but good. Server was rude and put a party of 30 on one tab. I could overlook this and place blame on lack of serving experience; if only he were nice. Much better places to go downtown.
Favorite Bar in Downtown Minneapolis – This is a great place for after work drinks. I recommend sitting in the outside patio area or the bar area. They have a low-priced happy hour menu of drinks and appetizers. I have tried several things on the menu and have enjoyed them all. It tops my list of bars in downtown minneapolis.
Fun place to go with friends – I went there for happy hour. We had drinks and tried two of their flatbreads. It was very tasty and I'm going back there tonight because I liked it so much. I haven't visited the bathrooms yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Newsflash - this place sucks. – OVERRATED. We went for a large group dinner recently and they had a limited menu. They tried to pass off hamburger as "shaved ribeye." It was HAMBURGER. Our server was inattentive and not very friendly. For our table of eight, our food came out over a 10 minute period - that's a long time to stagger food delivery. And I actually saw the manager tell an older couple to go outside and read the sign for directions on how to get into the side entrance, rather than direct them himself. The "sign" h... read more
