We cannot say enough about our experience with the 5120 staff and venue. This may be more of a review for the Onyx bar and the garden room. We had our daughter's wedding here and long story short, after our initial venue cancelled on us 2 weeks before the wedding, we scrambled and found the 5120 venue. In 2 weeks, they helped us get a caterer, tasting, and worked with us every step of the way. We cannot say enough about all of the staff at the 5120 venue. Thank you so much for your hospitality and flexibility to make our special evening so amazing!

First the good, The place is very well kept and very clean. The Wait staff are nice and very professional. The food was nothing special. I think you could get a better breakfast burrito with less grease at any fast food drive through. The fruit was fresh and had nice flavor. 15 bucks was a waste of money for what you get. As for the kitchen staff I appreciate that they have the radio playing loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear although I am not sure all patrons appreciated the Mexican music that sounded like it was from an old western sound track. Maybe this location is in need of a Professional Restaurant manager. Its to bad this place had the potential of being great.

We had our wedding there and it was fabulous! And that was before they did a full remodel. Now it is beautiful and we go visit Jennifer, our wedding coordinator, 2-3 times a year! Highly recommended by me! Our group had a great experience. Jennifer even came to the rescue after our ill prepared DJ, botched the music when my wife was walking down the isle. Jason

What an unexpected find in a southwest Bloomington 2 1/2 star hotel - Country Inn & Suites.I went here the other day w/ my friend Katie that beat me to reviewing this restaurant, and as she stated we do have a knack for getting those 1,000 point OpenTable restaurants that tend to be nestled in hotels.When we got there at 530pm, we had our pick of any table at the place. The space is separated into 3 areas: the Onyx Bar is right when you walk in, there's a small restaurant space to the left, and then the largest space is the bright atrium ahead. On a cold winter evening, we chose for the warmer small restaurant space right next to a fireplace that our server set ablaze (remotely) and we basked in warmth the whole meal.If you're deciding what to do get from the menu (and trust me, I picked a better one than Katie), flip the menu over and check out the Prix-Fixe menu. A starter and an entree for $20 looked good for me. I had the Baby Green Salad and then the Chicken Mozzarella. Very pleased to see the portion size of the Chicken was manageable - it's the turn of the new year and you know I have to watch my consumption ;) Mashed Yukon gold potatoes, grilled asparagus, and the basil oil was a delicious combination and the presentation was truly top notch.Dessert is not included in the prix-fixe menu, but Katie wanted to end on a good note, so we chose the bread pudding with vanilla bean ice cream. A good standby, and it didn't let us down.

I love this place! It is hands down the best hotel restaurant out there. All the food is fantastic, the Steak, The Rueben, Wings, the Salads even. It is all prepared fresh and with care. Awesome personalized service that will keep you coming back. I come here just to eat often and I would recommend everyone to do the same if you're in Bloomington, MN!

Located inside the Country Inn and Suites hotel. We only ordered appetizers (Jamaican Jerk wings and deep fried ravioli with Marinara sauce) to eat Captain and Cokes to drink. It was a pleasant experience but the tab was on the pricey side.

First time leaving a restaurant that I have gone home to have peanut butter toast.We had a Groupon for 60% off dinner for 2, a $72 value. There were about 9 tables in our area, only 3 of them were being used, all by people using Groupon.Per the waiter/bartender (probably cook too, who knows), we got a 4 ounce steak and a small (also probably 4 ounce) chicken breast. Steak was cooked properly, chicken breast was charred and dry (see my attached picture of the chicken and not the size vs. the fork). The restaurant didn't even provide the meals listed in the Groupon, and no way was that a $72 meal, it really wasn't even worth the $29 paid for the Groupon. This was a special "Groupon only" menu that was half size entree.To get the salad, tiny entrees and small shared desert, it was an hour and 20 minutes. If that was a $72 meal for the two of us, I would guess everything is extremely over priced.If this is the restaurant discounting their food to to get new and repeat customers, this had the opposite effect on my. No way will I return to the slow service, poor food and high prices. Stay away.

My friend and I have a knack for going to hotel restaurants, and tonight was no exception. We found ourselves nestled in, quite cozily actually, at the 5120 Restaurant & Bar. The place was dead, as it's very hidden inside of the Country Inn in Bloomington, so we had our choice of seating. The fireplace was calling our name. Our server, who was a jack of all trades, and had I not been directly facing the kitchen, could have sworn she cooked our food as well! The service was impeccable. She was very nice and accommodating, as we requested the fireplace be turned on, as opposed to just a conversation piece. The food on the other hand..... Let's just say the chicken flatbread appeared as though it had been run over by a semi, and there was absolutely no crunch to it. I NEED a crunchy crust. The mushroom soup that I had first, was actually very good, but I wanted it to be thicker, so I requested crackers. They. Don't. Have. Crackers. WHAT?!? I'm glad I ordered dessert (bread pudding) because this place was going downhill fast. The only other qualm I had tonight, was that upon returning to my car, I noticed that someone had kicked the great big ice/snow chunks from behind my tires.....that's my FAVORITE thing to do in the winter....jerks.

Wow! For a Country Inn's restaurant, 5120 Restaurant has it going on! Located almost invisible inside of the Country Inn & Suites this restaurant definitely was better than expected. I must commend our server who was playing hostess, bartender and server on this blizzard-y December evening (as her colleagues were stuck in the snow). The food was well presented, came at appropriate times. I would definitely suggest the chicken skewers for your first course. The chicken and sauce are both scrumptious... but the bed of greens and onions they are served on are to.die.for. Period. Their filet was definitely the winning entree. Perfectly cooked and served with amazing sides. With the glass walls and ceiling, the restaurant gives off a green room feel. Make sure you have reservations, they seemed to become full quickly with hotel guests.

Amazing staff and service!! We had our daughters wedding reception there last minute because our first venue canceled on us and we are so glad they did because it's a hidden gem of a location and turned out way better than the first place. Gaby was a rock star with all the catering and all the little details and requests. Thank you!
