The Sonder Shaker

"Cool spot with excellent drinks and food. Wednesday night date night was a hit! We tried the negroni and the old fashioned, both delicious. A proper huge bowl of mussels (phenomenal) and some rare steaks (good, not great) later, we finished up with cannolis and wine for dessert. We saw some burgers leave the kitchen that looked to die for, we will need to try those next."

"Absolutely loved this place! The staff greet and happily direct you to desired tables. The service is prompt and continuous. We had the Wagyu burgers. Absolutely best smash burger in Minnesota! No lie!"

"Busy for a Friday night! Nice atmosphere inside but be prepared to look for street parking. Definitely a pricer place and a smaller menu. Our group got the wagyu burger, half chicken, pesto pasta, and chicken sandwich. The fan favorite was the burger and pesto pasta. In our opinion the half chicken didn’t have much flavor but was cooked nicely. It came with a sauce that reminded us of licking a penny… a very metallic taste. The side salad was very tasty!"

"Best meal we had in the 4 days we spent in the Twin Cities. The menu is small, but we’ll designed and expertly prepared. The servers are easy to find and just pop by to see if you need anything, but the don’t feel intrusive at all. If we had another free evening, we would have gone back again."

"Can attest, great spot for a solo diner. Arrived on a Friday evening with no reservation and they made sure I knew I was welcome to a table and was not expected to sit at the bar, but I was glad I did. The bartender was fantastic and made me a delicious hand-crafted n/a cocktail. Happy hour also great. Excellent tacos and pulled pork fries. The tacos were perfectly spicy (more than less if you're sensitive). The fries were very simple, but the pork was perfection. I look forward to getting the sliders next time. For those not familiar with the area, plan to parallel park and pay a meter if you want to park close. Will absolutely go again."
