Northeast Social

I really want to love this place. Great ambiance, location, and busy but never packed. My first experience was a takeout order during Covid to support local businesses. I don't like to review based on takeout so I left it be. It was nothing special and clearly previously frozen. Decided to stop in again but for brunch. They have a full bar but only list 3 drinks on the brunch menu. Mimosa, Irish coffee, and Bloody Mary. Their mimosas were a great pour and I didn't feel the need for more than one! We ordered the Crab Benedict and Eggs Florentine. Both had FANTASTIC flavor! Unfortunately, the poached eggs on the crab were practically hard boiled, and my Florentine was a soup. I had to drink the eggs. Not super pleasant. The flavor, as mentioned before, was yummy! Very buttery, with tangy roasted tomatoes.Service was good, and we didn't feel rushed. They have a host stand, but it wasn't super clear if you should seat yourself or not. I saw people doing both. Street parking but not too hard to find a spot. I will definitely give it one or two more tries and update my review. Need to go for dinner, and I'm curious to try their French toast!

"Hidden Gem" and I only say that is because I have lived in this area of Northeast Minneapolis and never noticed it. We went on Valentines Day and the drinks and food were SO good. Even though it was busier because of the holiday our server was still very attentive and friendly. We ordered the beef carpaccio to start and then these may have been special dishes that night but we got the scallop puttanesca and the buccatini bolognese. Both entrees were extremely delicious. It was also snowing very hard that night and we sat right by the window it was so beautiful. We will definitely be back!

Northeast Social is a MUST for brunch! We needed a table for 5 (4 adults + 1 baby) for brunch on short notice and they went above & beyond to accommodate us. When we first walked in, we were delighted by the holiday decor. It feels reminiscent of the Hogwarts Great Hall at Christmas, and nothing can top that! (No ogres spotted). All the servers were helpful and fun. Beyond the good vibes, the food was phenomenal. The current brunch special is house made biscuits with sausage gravy, and it was so savory and flavorful without being overly heavy or salty. Others raved about the crab Benedict AND they custom made a traditional Benedict for our table, too. Phenomenal service and phenomenal experience! I can't wait to head back for dinner sometime soon.

This was the first time we tried Northeast Social and I can't say enough about how amazing everything was. Ambiance was stellar with some jazz music in the background, cool tin ceilings, eclectic artwork and comfy seating. Chase, the GM served us and he was prompt and helpful with the selections. Our apps and mains were spaced perfectly and drinks always refilled. On to the best part the food! It was delectable. The duck cooked to perfection, best duck ever, half a hen was scrumptious, crab linguine was picture perfect and packed with crab. The manicotti could feed two and my Italian father said the best he ever had. High praise indeed. I can't say enough good things we will definitely be back.

This restaurant is a hidden treasure nestled a couple blocks off Broadway.The ambiance is curated to be an upscale cocktail and New American Cuisine establishment with friendly service.I was impressed by the knowledge the waiter had on the beer list and food options.I gave 4 stars because I ordered the Potato Cavatelli Cacio e Pepe and was not enthralled by the flavor (over peppery). Everything else was great!

Perhaps I did not order the right type of food here but my first experience is merely okay in terms of food. The service is great and I had a very attentive and patient server. The location and space are also suitable for friendly conversations. Pretty much everything about the place is great. Just the food taste doesn't do it for me. This rating is in fact a 3.5 but I have chosen 3 because I do not think I can bring it up to a 4, unfortunately.The French baguette was good with butter but the bread itself was old and hard. I had an Ivorian friend with me who was a French cuisine connoisseur and she recognized the same issue. Then the gnocchi, which had flavor that I did not expect. It wasn't too creamy or rich, which was great. I think there might have been too much of the sun-dried tomatoes flavor but the sour taste from it was pretty strong. Maybe it is because sun-dried tomatoes are concentrated in terms of that flavor. The manicotti felt like it could be made in other more casual settings. The spinach basil cream felt a bit like artichoke dip, and the ricotta felt like it was not really prepared prior to putting them into the pasta. The bread was good despite not tasting fresh (kind of soggy). The rosemary honey panna cotta was amazing! Have a spoon of a bit of the panna cotta with the honey was truly a great experience. The flourless chocolate torte was great as well, especially since it was flourless it would tasted like it was missing something. But that was okay because the expectation was already there.I saw that some of their meat dishes are more popular, so if I decide to visit again, then I may give those a shot instead! But overall if people happen to be around the area, then I will still recommend them.

Our friends picked our dinner spot and picked Northeast Social - a restaurant that I've always heard about but never actually been to. So I was pleased to finally get the chance to check it out. I had the Peach's Castle, which was lovely and peachy. We were with friends who are vegetarian, and it was nice that we could find appetizer options to share that everyone could eat. We got the market cheese, which is cheese, bread, some yummy like apricot preserves and some greens (yay veggies), and we got the mushroom bruschetta, which was pretty tasty. As a table, we ordered: the gnocchi, the scallops, the "arugula," which came with a thinly sliced peach on top... yum, and the chicken. My entree was the gnocchi. They TASTED great and I did clear my plate. But they were very dense and heavy, not light and pillowy like some gnocchi. The chicken was excellent. I would order that if we went back. And we split the panna cotta and the tiramisu for dessert, both of which were totally good. Our waiter (whose name I unfortunately forget) was great. Would definitely go back.

I'm so happy that I was able to enjoy a date night here. It's been around 2 years since the last time I was here. It's still feels cozy and intimate which is why I loved coming the first place. Their decorations are very moody and have the place decorated for the Holidays. Our server was simply amazing and gave us great suggestions.We had the plate of cheese which came with 2 different types. My past year is not a cheese plate sort of guy and for him to say that he's glad he was able to try it because he would of missed out was awesome. I agree as well that both cheeses were very very tasty. I do wish their were more slices of bread as the cheese was pretty big and by the end you were left with just taking big bites which I don't mind since I'm a cheese lover. I tried the old fashioned and it was good! The main meal was steak and the vegetables were cooked perfectly and the steak as well. It had great seasoning and loved how crispy the potatoes were crispy on the outside and very fluffy in the inside. I also tried the rigatoni and that was such a warm dish because of the spices. Definitely a must try during this cold season. Now for the finally the rosemary panna cotta with warm honey was the star! I've never had a dessert quiet like that one it was incredibly creamy and you get a subtle taste of rosemary. I'm not ashamed to say that I did scrap off the rest of the honey and it was so worth it. I truly want to come back again for dessert! What a great experience this was!

Found this place by accident after our planned dinner spot was closed. Wandered into a charming and classy dining space with a dark gothic Alice in wonderland vibe. Lots of art on the walls, black and blue and silver decor, and candlelight. Our server was busy tending bar but still had time to give us a detailed run down of the menu and all the specials. I got the social burger, which comes with deliciously crisp shoestring fries. The burger was just the right size and incredibly well seasoned. The soup of the day and brisket sandwich were also enjoyed by my companions. We got the seasonal cheesecake for dessert, which was turtle. Also very tasty. It started to get busy when we were getting ready to go so we had to wait a bit to get the bill but I didn't mind because I got to look at everything on the walls some more. Pretty convinced I found a magic portal to a delicious place last night when I walked in these doors.

We couldn't get a reservation, so we sat at the bar. The main (male) bartender was quite rude, as others here have mentioned. The place is cute, but no one should have to put up with rude treatment.We got the baguette & sausage for appetizers, which were good. The burger was overcooked, but not terrible. Their desserts were unappealing to us, so we had dessert elsewhere.I used to love Eat Street Social, may it RIP. I won't return to this location.
