Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Minneapolis-Downtown Convention Center

In town on short business trip. Lunch was exceptional so returned for dinner to enjoy more extensive dinner menu.

Having visited other prime steakhouses over the years this was our first experience at Ruths Chris. Jesse was our exceptional waiter. All staff and service were on point. Sizzle Crab Cakes are top tier, 5 stars. 95% crab, 5% breading. Calamari with the honey drizzle was very good, most of it was on point, there were a few rubbery pieces. Tuna app was tasty but thought the flavor could be improved. Bone in tenderloins, ribeye and salmon were cooked all to the temp as requested. The quality of the steaks would rival any prime steakhouses at the time of eating we discussed whether they may even be the best of all time. Lobster Mac and au gratin potatoes were excellent sides. Other than the location of being downtown, we will return. If they moved to the burbs as other steakhouse are doing in the last 5 years, they would be the rage. Thank you and well done everyone!

It was my anniversary on Saturday and the manager, Eric was wonderful in making sure our dinner was perfect. Our waiter, Tyler was funny, knowledgeable, and overall very good. I will continue to recommend this location and restaurant, thank you!

It was the first time eating at Manny’s Steakhouse for all of us. We were NOT disappointed. One of us went for the Ribeye w/ Bearnaise while the rest of us had Filet Mignon w/ Bearnaise. Then we all shared Asparagus w/ Hollandaise, Loaded Hashbrowns, Cheesecake and Baileys Cake. Not a meal for someone dieting! The steaks were AMAZING!!! I love my red meat with Bearnaise, so it was absolutely heaven. The asparagus and hashbrowns were done to perfection. And the deserts were quite tasty. The only thing that was “off putting” was having someone clear plates while others were still eating. I did not say anything tonight but if it happens again in the future, I will politely ask that they wait until everyone has finished before clearing (Hospitality Rules 101). If I were at Perkins, I wouldn’t have bat an eye; but at these prices, I expect perfection, and hospitality rules to be followed. Which brings me back to the food. PERFECTION!! It was fantastic! And I’m already thinking about the next time to go. Their Brunch menu looks amazing, and I saw the Crab Dumplings close up and definitely will be ordering those in the near future!

We all started with happy hour margaritas, generously sized, and had the walleye with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans, followed by the chocolate coconut tart and coffee. Yummy all around.
