Tilia

15% service fee on all orders and try to claim they can do it and it's not a top and legal to get around MN Stature 325G.051 SURCHARGES ON CREDIT CARDS - Max is 5%, has to be orally told before ordering and also printed somewhere. Don't support establishments that try to add on 15% and charge you more plus expect you to tip on top of that.

We tried this place for Restaurant Week and we were pleasantly impressed with the level of the food. The corn chowder was flat out amazing with a citrus fresh base that I don't know if I could replicate. The pork chop - overcooked at most high end restaurants was spot on here. Cozy ambiance with lots of wood and painted wood along with efficient service make this a place I will go back to.

Tilia raises the high bar! They brought their A-game delivering great food and drinks with exceptional service, all set in a classy yet laid back environment. The dinner and drink menu offers a mix of different cuisine so you'll be hard-pressed to leave hungry (or thirsty!)I came here for dinner while in town on a business trip and was blown away by the experience. I highly recommend starting with the bread basket, served warm and complemented by a homemade herb butter (amazing!) I also enjoyed a beet salad and the black cod entree. The cod was topped with a buerre blanc sauce that sent the dish into another league. If you like fish, give it a try.If I lived in the area, I'd dine here regularly.

I visited Tilia for dinner on a weekend. We didn't have a reservation, but our party of 2 was able to be seated immediately at the bar. We had a great experience being served by Matt at the bar! The bartender was attentive but still retained the intimacy of our conversation and dining experience.Now onto the food... we ordered the Cacio E Pepe and the Seared Shrimp. Both were delicious! The portions were filling but small enough that leftovers weren't needed. The cocktail menu was intriguing! We went with the cocktail of the day, which featured hibiscus gin. The glass was served to the brim, despite the photo I included lol. It was strong, and the ingredients complemented each other well.Overall, I would recommend Tilia for a nicer dinner out, and hope to return.Note about tipping and service charges (copied from the receipt): "A 21% Hospitality Fee has been added to your bill. This fee helps to support higher base wages and a revenue share model that gives 17% of all net sales to employees. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute 177.23, Subd. 9, this charge is not a gratuity for direct employee service. Tipping is not expected.If you have questions or concerns about this, please ask your server."{2024 Review No. 1}

My friend and I went there for a Saturday brunch and my experience was overall pleasant. Everything was smooth ranging from seating to our server approaching us at a reasonable time to our food served at a good time. The only reason I would give a 4 would be due to food taste. It was good but not spectacular, and some items were better than others, which I will elaborate on very soon.I recommend the Benedict, first of all. The salad was a standard salad with leaves, but the muffins were very tasty! The ham was soft and succulent. The eggs were well-poached so as soon as I broke it, the yoke was starting to cover the muffin. The hollandaise sauce was a bit sweet but it accompanied the savory very well! I also loved the beet salad, as it contained a mixture of yellow beets and red beets, along with pecans, goat cheese, and even orange slices. It wasn't a common combination but it definitely worked! The brown butter vinaigrette accompanied everything very well, too. I will definitely get the beet salad again when I return here at some point.The turkish eggs were good as well because they had the right ingredients: dill, garlic yogurt, and roasted tomato. These ingredients represented some of the most common elements seen in Turkish dishes. I just wasn't sure if it would classify the item as "Turkish eggs" but this one could just be me being ignorant! Regardless, the taste was good and I enjoyed it!However, the Cacio y Pepe was mediocre at best. The parmesan mixture was too soupy and didn't really stick to the pasta, which meant the temperature wasn't hot enough when mixing cheese and water. It also didn't feel like the parmesan was Parmigiano Reggiano as there was some powdered texture, but I could be wrong on that one; adding some Pecorino Romano may help more. I also didn't think rigatoni was the right type of pasta because experiencing a dish like cacio e pepe should be rolling a fork around a stringy type of pasta like linguine or fettuccine.Overall good experience and I would definitely recommend this establishment to those visiting the area! Enjoying some Sebastian Joe's ice cream afterwards and visiting Wild Rumpus, the bookstore, right after brunch would definitely complete the experience even more.

Went to Tilia for a birthday celebration and was not disappointed! The staff was all very friendly and attentive during dinner, making sure we were enjoying ourselves.The food was awesome, our favorites were the shrimp appetizer and the pasta special, a agnolotti morels dish was so so good. Bread starter for the table was also good, better than the beef tartare.Will come back again!

A staple in Linden Hills. Absolutely love this cozy and quaint spot. Food and service staff are always top notch. Highly recommended for a casual drink/app or an amazing dinner.

The staff are very nice and food was amazing. However the service was very slow for the two of us. We waited 15 minutes to place an order, water and coffee top up's offered came 15-20 minutes later. Several group came in after we were seated and ordered yet got their food, ate and left before we got our food. We ordered 3 standard menu items as is. Seems we got the short end of the service stick. Not sure I will go back even though the food was amazing. Also $7 for a plain cup of coffee is too steep. Again the food and staff were very nice just slow and in attentive.

This is such a lovely neighborhood spot. I was traveling in Minneapolis, and a local recommended that I dine here. The ambiance is nice, it wasn't too crowded at dinner time, and I recommend sitting in the side patio if you can. The Rigatoni Bolognese had a rich flavor to it, and the basil was not overly cooked, so it still had a noticeable taste.Be aware that there is currently construction in the area, so parking can be a little tricky.

We walked in just to grab some drinks. First of all it wreaked of bad seafood... but we decided to rough it out. After waiting for ~10 minutes to be acknowledged at our table, we ordered an old fashioned and an espresso martini. We waited 25 minutes to receive two drinks.. constantly looking around for our server and no one could be found. After finally getting them, it also took a while to close out. A week later I looked at my statement and to my surprise had a charge for over $100 bucks when it should've been $40. I contacted the restaurant immediately and they said it looked like my server changed the tip from 8 dollars to 80 dollars. It took weeks to get refunded. The owner over email said he would give me a gift card for the trouble, therefore I provided my address, and he did not send anything. Overall a terrible experience, will not be going back.
