This is a lovely upscale dining experience in downtown Sioux Falls. We went for the burger during “Burger Battle 2026” and shared it—the portion was big enough to do that—and then split a piece of the decadent chocolate cake. The list of bourbons, ryes, and whiskeys is extensive and impressive, and there are several beer, wine, and cocktail options that are also above-average. The service was good (thanks, Emma!) and the ambience would have been great for a date, special occasion, or business dinner. We were dressed relatively casually, but saw diners wearing everything from special occasion dresses to hoodies (I’d recommend dressing up a bit more than that, though). I plan to return and try the charcuterie/soup/salad bar.

Everything I have tried here is good and the atmosphere is very nice and relaxing. Staff is very accomodating and new artwork is being created for the decor. I am a big fan of their wedge salad, it isn’t always on the menu, but should be. I recently tried the french dip sandwich and it was one of the best french dips I’ve had. The salmon sandwich was good, but the string onions and capers are a little messy in their current form. Great menu for lunch or dinner.

This place was amazing. Our dinner was perfect. We both had steak and it was cooked to perfection. Louis was our waiter and he was the best ….so accommodating, and friendly. It was our anniversary and he graciously treated us to a fun dessert. We had a great evening and would highly recommend this place. The atmosphere was awesome too.

What an amazing establishment! I sat at the bar and service was friendly and fast. Plenty of seating indoors. I started with the Caesar salad and ended up getting the pheasant risotto, which was amazing. I also got the red velvet soufflé for dessert. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a great place to eat!

We were in town only on our way to Dallas, SD., for pheasant hunting when two of our bags didn’t make the plane so we had 5 hrs to kill in Souix Falls mid day and googled steak houses near us. This was the only one open at 2.
It was AMAZING! The moment us NC boys walked in, they made us feel like we were right at home. Waitress was 10 our of 10 in every aspect. Steaks and salad bar phenomenal. Highly recommend.

We went to Minerva’s for lunch based upon the reviews. We usually avoid any restaurants that have anything related to a “food bar or salad bar”. The restaurant is well decorated and very relaxing/comfortable atmosphere. The lunch menu is perfect size to order from, it’s not like some restaurants that have too many selections. The prices are great, at least to us. We’re used to DC/VA prices.
We broke our rule and had the salad bar and soup du jour. The salad bar was beyond our expectations. It was clean, sanitary and the selection of vegetables, pastas, meats etc was amazing. The soup was delicious as well.
If we lived here it definitely be at the top of restaurants we frequent. Our server (Deb C) was a delight. The restaurant is clean, the service perfect and staff very friendly.
A solid restaurant to dine for lunch or dinner.

Celebrated our 25th anniversary at this location (2025). Family has been carnivore 2 years in September. They were able to accommodate us and the steak (and Food for our youngest who is not carnivore, yet) was great.

Minerva’s in downtown Sioux Falls continues to uphold its reputation as a solid choice for a refined dining experience. We had a reservation booked 12 hours in advance and were seated promptly upon arrival—a great start to our evening.
Our server, Olivia, was a highlight of the night. She was friendly, attentive, and well-versed in the menu, offering thoughtful answers to our questions and making us feel welcome throughout the meal.
The food came out in a timely manner. My wife’s breaded walleye was particularly impressive—crispy on the outside, flaky and flavorful on the inside, and generously portioned. My rainbow trout, while fresh, was just average and could have benefited from a more dynamic sauce.
There were a couple of service-related delays at the start of our visit. It took about five minutes before we were initially greeted with water and another five before our drink orders were taken. It was an additional 15 minutes before our drinks—a beer and a mojito—arrived. While that lag was noticeable, it’s worth noting that it was a bustling Friday evening in the heart of downtown, and my wife wisely pointed out that the bar was likely operating at full capacity.
Overall, Minerva’s delivered a pleasant dinner with courteous service and well-prepared entrees. While there were a few hiccups with drink service, the atmosphere and professionalism of the staff made for an enjoyable evening.

11/1/25: ordered the buffalo sirloin steak and it was probably the worst steak i’ve ever had. Very hard to chew and prepared rare despite me ordering medium rare (see latest picture). Kind of disappointed with the experience and no acknowledgement by the waiter despite about 50% of the steak being untouched. Pretty upset I paid $40 for this. Creamed peas were good.
One of our favorite dinner spots in town. Great food and drinks! Would definitely recommend the ribeye and panna cotta or creme brulee for dessert!
