Perfect for date night : dimmed lighting , 10/10 atmosphere, dreamt outdoor seating . Delicious seasonal menu . Usually have some local talents to perform and charge extra for it, totally worth it.

Beautiful place to sit on a sunny afternoon! Definitely more of a cafe than a coffee shop -- came here because Aster is my mom's name :D ❤️
I like it when there’s live music , makes it a nice atmosphere. Sitting out in the patio can be a nice scenery in the warm weather. Overall, a nice cozy place
Great big patio with views of downtown Mpls. Glass of rosé + sorbet assortment = summer heaven.
Voted Best Restaurant for a First Date by City Pages in 2012! Possibly the most romantic & enjoyable all 4 seasons. Dishes have an understood sophistication and won't hurt the wallet if the date flops
Got to go Sundays for the jazz 11-2 and the brunch ! Get the chorizo torte . An amazing blend of ingredients in the most unusual bun styled sandwich .
Excellent wine list . Our group probably tried half of it. Everything was delicious. Great patio space too.
Great patio ! Great food! Unique drinks! Fun place to hang out with friends, and you never feel rushed when there is a line of people waiting!
We love their outdoor patio because it's a great place for a stop while walking around St Anthony Main and the River...plus the best part, you can bring your dog too!
The view of downtown Minneapolis from the tables outside will make you glad to be alive and unblind. Beautiful at night.
Come in for happy hour and get a flatbread ! They are all really good.
Summer 2013 Try the Gin Et Jus, refreshingly light. Just what you need for a hot summer day!
Beautiful to sit outside. Shrimp bowl and nitro sangria .
Nice outdoor seating , good WiFi and great beer on tap along with a creative cocktail menu .
Great patio seating . The drink list is wonderful. The food options are a little limited, but good.
Check out their patio seating on a warm day for delicous food, a good view , and great atmosphere.

Didn't eat there but it very quaint, love the outdoor seating where you are able to have your dogs with you!
Yummy brunch menu (eggs Benedict , bacon & ham quiche )
Go for their classic hot toddy . Aster makes its with Jameson, honey , lemon , and hot water. Simple, straightforward, and it'll cure what ails you!
One of the rare places that's as pleasant for a cup of coffee in the daytime as it is for a glass of wine in the evening. Also, great small plates and desserts .
Pecan and peaches malted waffles are good, not too heavy. The waffles with berries aren't worth it, very skimpy on the fruit .
The beautiful building and views of the city ; food is very good.
Never a call to stop here. Great place during a bike ride along the river and don't miss books and bars book club.
Fantastic atmosphere and a great selection of beers . The flatbread pizzas are pretty phenomenal too.
Make sure you pop in for Happy Hour on Sundays: 3 dollar Fultons and 5 dollar Surlys this summer.
Flatbread with red wine poached pear with prosciutto , spinach caramelized onion and chevre .
Often has live music and the patio is large, with skyline views
Get there for HH 5-6pm, good beer , cocktails , and flat bread pizzas .
Get there early for happy hour so you can wait over an hour (well a long time) for a drink before its over!
Try the Rumba cocktail made with rum , Morrocan mint tea & limeade . (They actually have a whole list of tea-infused cocktails for the summer!)
Name That Tune on the 3rd Monday of every month! $5 to sign up (includes your first Fulton beer ) and $3 Fulton beer afterward!
Ask your server about the apple , bacon , walnut , and bleu cheese flatbread pizza . It's heavenly!
Ask for Adam's Elixer... amazing frothy latte made with honey and black pepper - try it!
Dave is bar far my favorite person here! Make sure to try the cobbler !!
Great bartenders , great atmosphere, tasty brunch .
Flatbread with red-wine poached pear , prosciutto , spinach , carmelized onion , and chèvre .
Turkey sandwich with brie & apples is delicious! They also have Fulton beer - a definite plus.
Awesome patio , awesome service, awesome food
The music is phenomenal! Especially while sitting at the bar
Excellent dog-friendly patio with great vegetarian options .
Took the Whiskey-Pomegranate-Guinness tea on the rocks challenge. Well worth it with a Pear prosciutto pizza !

The perfect spot for summery porch drinks. I recommend the Buckingham Bronco or the Philly.
