Picnic Linden Hills

Food: 10/10 for everything. I dare you to find something on the menu you don't love. Even their drink menu is fabulous, including their N/A beverages. You absolutely should try their lemonade.Service: Super casual, which I generally love. Their team is really knowledgeable and it helps that their menu is limited enough that you can get great service that's also truly informed. Ambiance: Also amazing. I love the community table, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. I sometimes wish the inside seating wasn't so tight (if you sit at the table by the bar seating, just know somebody's butt WILL be in you face.) Love the community vibes - they even have a "buy your friend a drink" board! Lastly, huge props to this team for being so actively involved in their community. This truly is something special, and what they pour out to their neighbors has really been reciprocated.

Stopped by here after having a couple of drinks at the wooden ship. It was a nice day so we sat in the back in the little alleyway where they have a few tables. It's was an interesting seating arrangement. Quite unique. The server was super nice. For us our waters and the we started off with a couple beers and their wings. The food came out quick. The wings were pretty good. Not crispy like I was expecting but good flavor. The piri piri on top was pretty tasty. I would have liked them to be a little more crispy For the mains, we got the special which was braised beef cheeks and the steelhead trout. The food was tasty. The beef cheeks were tender and had a thick sauce. The trout was cooked well and a good piece of grilled fish. For dessert we had the chocolate cake which was tasty and big enough to share. It was tasty if a tad dry. The Madeira was not. Overall a decent dining experience with decent food and great service. A good addition to all the other eateries in the area.

Adorable spot for a fancy night out. Not a ton of seating, but my friend and I arrived around 5 and had no issue snagging a spot. We shared a charcuterie board and wine. Both were so good, but we saw some plates of sandwiches and salads and...I will definitely want to come back to try those because they looked really good!!!! Definitely on the pricey side but worth it for a fun outing. The staff were so so so friendly, some of the best service I've experienced in MPLS!!

My wife and I were out on our weekly new restaurant Saturday lunch trek. We saw that Picnic opened recently and it was on our list.It was a perfect day in Edina and there was construction in front of the establishment, so we had a two block walk. I feel bad that they have completely cut off the street from traffic, but it was still pretty full at noon.It is a pretty small place, so my wife and I sat at the bar. I ordered a Size 7 IPA from Steel Toe, a place about a couple miles from here that makes great beer.We ordered an order of deviled eggs and the beef sandwich.Bartender was great at refreshing our waters and the food came out quick.The deviled eggs were perfect, really smooth texture and not bad for the $7.50 price tag.The beef sandwich had a ton of coleslaw on top with what seemed like fresh baked bread. The bread was exemplary and the beef had the wonderful taste of seeping in red wine. It was super tender and the red wine taste was just perfect. Highly recommended.Great lunch, I ordered a second IPA and it was $50 after tip. Try it out.

Amazing service! Fun sense of humor from our waiter. The bar is the most gorgeous aspect of the space. This is a great spot to grab drinks. They offer food and have nice options. I tried the award winning, critic claiming breakfast sandwich. The Golden Hour N/A was 10/10My friends all enjoyed their dishes + drinks

Cute space in Linden Hills that centers around the bar. Simple and small menu that is more assembled than cooked (salads, charcuterie, dips). Better for a snack and drink than a meal.Started with the soup of the day (chicken corn chowder) that was pretty good. Also shared the apple prosciutto salad and deviled eggs with a friend. The deviled eggs were recommended by the server, and were nicely presented with a chili crisp paste on top, but were disappointingly bland and completely underseasoned. The salad was fresh and had a little more flavor.

Nice little spot in the previous Clancey's Meat & Fish. Specializing in martini's, bourbons and sharable plates.

Just went for the grand opening and it's such a cool place. Limited menu and crazy busy but everyone was super nice and happy to help. I'll definitely be back to try the full menu and see how it evolves.

I really wanted to love this place. Linden Hills needs this kind of restaurant. Unfortunately the sandwiches were not very special. The ingredients were good but not enough and the bread was actually very bland. I would recommend they get their bread from a high end bakery. The atmosphere was great with plenty of outdoor space. The service was excellent. I would consider trying again but I would not get the sandwiches unless they improve the quality.

I have been there 3 times in the past 2 weeks ;) It is a great neighborhood restaurant which is perfect for a easy good bite to eat that is also open late for a drink with a friend.
