The Sample Room

Order the charcuterie platter & a $5 beer flight specially designed to pair with the house-made meats, & don't neglect the vegetable section of the menu, which elevates dino kale .[Eater 38 Member] Read more

Love all the flight options! Lots to choose from whether you like red or white wine . They also have several spirit flights and decent cocktails .

I love this place! I just wish they shook up the sample menu every once in a while--tried almost everything, and while I love it all, I wish there was a possibility of something new next time.

Amazing! Food was great. Drinks were great and service was fantastic despite some past comments. The views from the water can't be beat. Highly recommend!

Voted Best Meatloaf by City Pages in 2012! Combining bison , pork , & beef - theres a complexity thats a little more appealing than meatloaf 's usual "complexity." The warm meatloaf sandwich soothes souls

The cheese selection never disappoints! Get a glass of wine and a couple cheeses for a great afternoon snack .

Awesome brunch til 3pm excellent small plates and cocktails - hidden gem !

In the 1890s there was a saloon in the old Thies Hotel up on Marshall Avenue Northeast called the Sample Room, and as of 2002, there is a saloon of the same name in the same place again. Read more

Ryan is the best musical quizmaster and an excellent Server/Bartender/Genuinely all around great guy!

Great servers who didn't judge us for ordering/devouring an unreasonable amount of food for two. Short rib Philly was tremendous.

Everything is good. Portions are small and a bit on expensive side but it is really good.

The Wandering Star drink reminds me of Spritz Aperols from Italy. Fantastic!

Brunch was excellent. I suggest the "farmers breakfast " with Apple-cinnamon French toast

Love their cheese selection . The reuben is great as well .

Girlfriend loved the Ruben , I enjoyed some cheese the waiter picked and the pork belly was very tastey. A little pricey for the portions, but that's kind of the point.

Trivia Tuesdays at Ten. Tip your fantastic servers. They rock (and give great drink suggestions).

Fried Chicken Thigh Sandwich melts in your mouth with incredible flavor

Duck carpaccio and Sweet Child of Vine are the way to go.

The zesty spicy bloody is zingy! Pro tip-Ask for gin instead of vodka . Smooth sailing .

Order the Old Fashioned. One of the best around.

Beet Salad is awesome so is the Reuben

Eat here. Drink here.

Wonderful intimate space with fantastic food!

Cocktails , starters, specials!

A sorta hidden gem . Great atmosphere, soup , and service!

Happy Hour : Mon-Fri 3pm-6pm & Sun-Thur 10pm-midnight!

Any of the small tastes of seafood on the menu are a real treat; carefully and simply executed, and a good value . Read more

Try the latest of their "100 Sausages project." If you don't like it there's always the next one!

Small plates , nice bar , neighborhood place

The calistoga zin from the "copious reds " sampler is a stand out for lovers of reds that punch you in the face.

Meatloaf is to die for

Wonderful brunch menu .

The Son of Bourye Old Fashioned is awesome

The hog head is double the price and half the quality that it used to be .

Get baked and head on in for a pint!

The Bottineau burger is a must have as well as the charcuterie platter !

Mushroom pasta is great :) just the right size. Approx serving size of a lean cuisine. :)

On Mpls St Paul's list of Insider Eats for hogs n' eggs !

Don't be afraid to nibble.

Must have the warm Camembert with the caramelized onions ... Nirvana!

Great food

It seems they fry everything in bacon fat.

The plates, the wine , the charcuterie !

Keep the pigs head teeth and take them home to make a creepy necklace.

Cant miss the lamb crostatta!!!

Wonderful burger ..

Love the Tuna , great martini !

Have the salmon with maple glaze and root vegetables - it's so wonderful, it almost tastes like dessert .

Eat the sausage , that is all.

Drive a sub-compact car if you're hoping to park in their lot. It's a tight squeeze.
