Great restaurant! Went here for a date night with my wife and left the children behind, and we enjoyed it. It’s a bit spendy, but our meal was fabulous. The grilled octopus was dynamite, the squash ravioli phenomenal, and we shared the chicken entree. Usually i feel like chicken is a boring choice, but our server raved about the preparation, and she was quite right. It was really delicious.
A starter cocktail, bottle of wine, and dessert rounded out the evening. Great service, wonderful ambiance, all in all, highly recommend.

We did the Chef’s Table at Mara for my birthday, and I have to say, it’s one of the best tasting menus in Minneapolis. Every course was better than the last! I’m a vegetarian, and they thoughtfully catered to me—my entire 7-course meal was vegetarian and absolutely delicious. I’d heard tasting menus sometimes leave you hungry, but we were completely satisfied by the end. The service was impeccable as well. I would definitely return for any special occasion.

I went to Mara on my own for a birthday dinner and they just had the best service. As a solo diner, it’s hard to find a place that will treat you like you’re a party of 4. They were attentive, my water never was empty, they packed my unfinished courses as the night went on and overall was attentive.
I got the house made pita bread with the hummus which was recommended by my waiter 10/10. I think it was a 10/10 because of the pita though, the hummus alone was just okay. I also was not fond of their bread they give on the house but that’s just because it was really really crunchy. I got their lamb, i still think about it now. Everything paired so well with each other. My favorite bite of the night were the potatoes they have were sooo crunchy and the aioli was amazing. I got way too much food, i forgot exactly what dessert I had but it was recommended to me by my waiter. Overall, great experience for a solo diner and even better food.

Came here slightly before close and had a great experience, i was really craving lamb chops, also got oysters, was very satisfied, once i ordered dessert the kitchen was closed so the waitress took it upon herself to make me a desert that was very enjoyable and i ended up liking it better than what i originally wanted!

Stopped in to try Mara. I’ve been to the Miami and Honolulu locations, so expectations were set—and this one delivered.
Breakfast menu is limited, which I actually appreciate. Quality over chaos. Ordered the breakfast chicken shawarma sandwich and, not exaggerating, it’s the best thing I’ve eaten in Minneapolis so far. Full stop.
Coffee was strong and slightly bitter—exactly what coffee should be when it’s trying to wake you up. Berry bowl was fresh, and they easily accommodated my no-strawberries request (always a good sign).
Overall, a strong first visit. I’ll be back for lunch and dinner, likely sooner than planned.

The ambiance and food were superb. The servers were extremely helpful and friendly. The sommelier, Mary, was terrific. A wide selection of delicious wines. Really enjoyed the endive salad and wine pairings suggested by Mary. The walleye was cooked to perfection.

I recently dined at Mara and was completely blown away. Every dish I tried was phenomenal, from the perfectly cooked wagyu steak, to the grilled octopus, to the rich and decadent lobster risotto, which was absolutely luxurious. Each bite was a reminder of how refined and thoughtful their menu is. The ambiance is stunning, the service was impeccable, and the overall experience was top-tier. Highly recommend for a special night out or any time you want to treat yourself to something extraordinary

I’ve been here twice for dinner and the hummus steals the show every time. Great wine selection. Amazing ambiance with the dim lights and pop of red with the open kitchen in the back. It gives date night. Some of the dishes weren’t my favorite like the mushroom soup. But the chicken was cooked perfectly and the lamb is tasty! My only con is the sesame seed bread must be removed from the menu, but overall a good vibe and a cute spot!

Was here for Sunday brunch to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We were a small party of 5 gals.
The best part of the buffet style brunch were the desserts. The food was subpar for a higher end downtown Minneapolis restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel. None of the food stood out for flavor…. The service was disappointing for the cost of the brunch and the server only came to our table about 3 times, they took long in clearing the dirty plates from the table and had to ask the server a few times for drinks we had ordered. The atmosphere was the highlight of this dining experience. I don’t recommend this place if you’re looking to get a flavorful meal, but if you’re looking for an aesthetically appealing restaurant for pictures, then this is a great place for that

Dined at Mara while in Minneapolis over the holidays. Their winter menu featured a number of delicious options, the lamb chop and hummus being two of the standouts from what we ordered. Their fresh pita included with the hummus was fantastic and set the dish wonderfully.
Their drink selection featured many classics, while also having a good selection of creative and unique options that were well designed and interesting.
The ambiance was good, but still felt a bit too much like a hotel restaurant (which this is). However the open kitchen and everything mentioned above made up for this minor downside.
Valet parking is pretty much the only option, it is not free on the weekends as some others have said however; it is 10$ every day.
Would recommend highly to anyone staying in the Four Seasons as well as for people looking for a nice dinner out.
