Cedar + Stone, Urban Table

I have been to Cedar + Stone several times and continue to be impressed by my experiences there. They offer a wonderful menu from breakfast through dinner and the quality of the food and level of service is always excellent.From the Chicken & waffles or Steel Cut Oats at breakfast or brunch, to Martinis and crafted cocktails, to their terrific wild rice soup and lunch or dinner fare I don't think I have had anything that was not good. The atmosphere is modern but not cold and the location allows you to stop during a day of shopping or as a guest at the hotel or just for a meal.There is an underground lot and they used to validate the ticket for a reasonable time to have a meal, but I usually park for the mall and just walk inside the mall.

We had ticket to Cirque across the street and gave ourselves about 70 minutes to get dinner here. They ignored us the first 10 minutes and then we got nervous that we might not have enough time and needed to switch to fast food. A server approached us with a "has anyone helped you yet?" Which was to me an indication of an unorganized system. From there, everything went uphill. The service was fine (not overly attentive, but fine.) A manager helped us determine which food would come out faster (you hate to hurry $30-50 entrees) and they did come out in record time. Everything was tasty, especially the Brussel sprouts! The fish was a scant 3-4 oz portion, but it looked and tasted very good. It was fun to sit outside in June (even if the planes from the nearby airport were a little loud. Hey, at least it reminded us to travel!) We'll give them another try on a day when we are in a more leisurely mood. :)

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Cedar + Stone. I was recommended the Garlic Ricotta pizza (with hot honey) and the crispy brussels and they were both great options, although I'd get something else next time. The vibe is cool, although it was little empty due to the time of day I was there.Shoutout to Alex for the best service and for sharing all his amazing fun facts!

We came here for date night! The mood was romantic.Awesome lighting!The decor is elegant and comfortable.I ordered the braised short rib with white cheddar grits.The short rib was made well.The sauce was flavorful..so much that if this wasn't fine dining.I might have licked the plate.My wife ordered the Minnesota Wild Rice Soup.She was very happy and I agreed that this was one of the best wild rice soups I've had at a restaurant in a long time.We saved room for desert and tried the butter scotch bread pudding.We were not happy with the pudding.It seemed more like French toast.Really light and airy.Bread pudding in my opinion should be dense.The service was definitely top notch.Our server Daniel knows how to treat his customers.He didn't annoy us by checking in too much and made conversation when he could and it was good conversation...not fluff.We definitely want to come back and try some of the other menu items pointed out by Daniel.Cedar +Stones location at the JW Marriott Mall of America is a plus for me.I will be back!

We flew to Minneapolis with my husband for a work trip. I had not eaten all day. I searched Yelp for some good eats near the airport. My hubby all of a sudden remembered that he had a couple of great dinners at Cedar + Stone, Urban Table which is located at the JW Marriott hotel that is attached to the Mall of America. We valet parked at the hotel. The restaurant will validate your parking ticket, FYI. We took the elevator up to the main floor and walked into a modern and well decorated restaurant. The restaurant was open and extremely nice; however, you can come casual in dress. We were greeted by a happy waiter (Billy), who was enthusiastic and ready to get us going. He recommended certain dishes on the menu, and I was thankful for that. What caught my eye under the appetizers were the scallops and pork belly. We opted for that as a starter. It came out in about 10 minutes. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the pork belly was so tender and had so much flavor. Next we ordered our dinner. We both chose the mushroom risotto. I added shrimp to mine and the hubby added chicken to his. The risotto was also perfectly cooked. The temperature was just right too. The shrimp had tails on them but it was still good and tender. I also asked for gluten-free bread. It was toasted and came out with salted butter. The butter and bread were delicious as well. Overall, my experience here was great, and Billy was phenomenal and gave great customer service.I would definitely recommend this spot to those looking for a great dinner near the Mall of America.Rating:Scallops and pork belly - 4/5Gluten free toast with butter - 4/5Mushroom risotto - 4/5Customer Service by Billy - 5/5Ambiance - 5/5

Food is excellent but expensive (it's a hotel after all). A much quieter experience from the mall, providing a nice break. The service is outstanding. Solo diners are treated with respect. Shoutout to Victoria, a Sunday morning server who was utterly charming. Thank you for a great experience during my staycation.

I don't have high expectations for an "upscale" restaurant that's located at the mall of America. There are just so many other options to compete with here that I don't see the uniqueness and quality in the experience. It's suppose to be sleek and upscale but many of the customers aren't wearing that because it's at the mall. People were wearing sweat pants! I got a wanna-be upscale but causal vibe here. I appreciated the options on their menu and can understand some of the prices because some of the ingredients are local. We tried some cocktails, the wild rice soup, Amish chicken and waffles, and the skuna bay salmon. The food was delicious, especially the soup and Amish chicken. The chicken was perfectly crispy without too much batter. The sweet syrup and maple butter was a great addition to the dish. For the salmon dish, I felt like the actual fish was drowned out by the the sweet potato purée and and creamed kale. I sorta felt like I was eating baby food with the purée but the taste was good! I wished the salmon had more of the maple glaze that was mentioned in the description. The salmon was $42 and you did get a large portion size. The chicken and waffles was $24, soup was $12. Our service was excellent! We could not figure out parking at the hotel so we just parked at the mall ramp and walked through nordstroms. Overall, I felt like the prices could've been cheaper based on the atmosphere and location.

Cedar & Stone, is a delicious option when you're staying In Minneapolis.Located within the JW, and with an extension to the Mall of America it's got plenty of options to walk in and enjoy their flavorful fare. The restraint itself is beautiful, with a very sleek and clean ambiance. The service was three stars from start to finish. We enjoyed their delicious wild rice soup, truffle fries and filet mignon. The scampi were delicious as well, although they firstly came out raw. Yes, you read that correctly. Uncooked. The manger quickly fixed the error, but we had another issue.. ... Our potato cake which came with our entree came out frozen. Yep. Frozen on the inside, fried on the outside.The experience in itself could have been a terrible one, but our server and the manager quickly fixed the issue to the best of the ability. Which is why I am giving three stars versus two.We were however, a bit off put the they didn't do anything to comp or remove one of them items. Especially if food was being served, frozen and raw. This also took away from our dining experience, as much of our food was missing while it was supposed to be consumed together.. ughA bit discouraging but we would definitely like to try it again. All in all a solid three star experience at a restaurant that seems it should be a solid five.Cheers to well cooked eats Yelpers xx

I've dined here for breakfast and lunch in the past and both times I had a good experience and everything was delicious. This was our first time dining here for dinner we ordered the prime ribeye carrots and Mac and cheese that we shared, it was plenty of food for the two of us. The steak was cooked perfectly to our liking with a tasty char and served with a sauce that was actually delicious. I normally don't dip my steak in A1 or anything like that but it was a nice smoky balsamic flavor. We asked for something spicy and our waitress gave us a delicious spicy paste that I mixed with the sauce - o m g it was SO GOOD. The carrots were cooked well and paired well with the garlic sauce and the Mac and cheese was creamy with a crispy Gouda on top. Everything was fantastic, we will definitely dine in again.

After enjoying the Museum of Illusions, we were a bit hungry. I wasn't totally blown away by the online menu, but I was equally un-intrigued by other options at the mall. Another part in the evening where my initial impression was wrong and I'm glad it was!Our server, Bill, was just fantastic. Really friendly and fun and had great recommendations. I wish we would have brought a little more of an appetite, because some of the appetizers looked phenomenal.We ended up getting the short ribs, mushroom risotto, and roasted carrots. I am typically not a big fan of short ribs and these. were. EXCELLENT. They were so incredibly tender and the demi-glace was just perfect. Risotto had several kinds of mushrooms with balsamic. The yogurt on the roasted carrots just punched them up a notch.I would definitely recommend a stop at Cedar + Stone.
