Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Downtown / Loring Park

Great food and fine atmosphere, the waitress did tell us after 80 minutes the next party was there and to pay the bill which was awkward.. never heard that before and at 50th & France felt odd.

Loved the black bean burger with chips, not your run-of-the-mill chips - these seemed house-made. Thick, crunchy and delicious! Really liked the blood orange mock tail too! Great service. It was a bit loud on the pawtio which made conversation a little difficult, but there was a large party there celebrating and it quieted down after they left. I loved the decorations in this area of the restaurant, very pretty!

Fantastic experience overall—service, food, and setting. The Steakhouse is an experience on its own and a wonderful spot for a very nice dinner. It was easy to have a conversation and enjoy the company and food. Highly recommend the Denver Steak!

My partner and I do not like spicy food and found many of the menu items to be spicy. The waitress was helpful in letting us know which entrees/items could be modified though. In the end we were satisfied with what we did order. One unfortunate thing that did happen was I took the time to fill out your survey before we left the restaurant in order to receive a $10 coupon, but they didn’t have any way of connecting that coupon to us because we paid with cash. We left the restaurant as “complete unknowns” unless they use my reservation information.

Most lobby restaurants are not the greatest experience. The Milwaukee, however, was a pleasant surprise. From a gracious hostess to a joyful waitress, to a very, very good meal for the four of us. The only food negative was a relatively bland dressing on the Caesar salad. T”My pappardelle was outstanding and the others felt the risotto, burger and salmon were very fine.
