Porzana

A great night out with friends or a date! Great vibes, cocktail menu is varying and diverse, and lots of wine options as well. Our server greeted us right away and always checked in on us during our meal. Shoutout to Ashley (I hope I got her name right)! The stars of the show were the picanha and the entraña (skirt) steaks. Argentinian flavors work so well with steak, I definitely recommend getting the chimichurri with any of the steaks there. We also got the tortelloni and the brussel sprouts, good choices to balance out with richness from the tortelloni, and some acidity and brightness from the brussel sprouts. Dessert was a pineapple on an olive oil cake, and it disappeared in like 5 seconds. Highly recommend if you're feeling a little frivolous one night!

No fault to be found. Chilean sea bass is slightly sweet, and the best fish I’ve ever had. Cacio e pepe was everything I wanted it to be. Enjoyed the Enzo mocktail (funny considering I normally don’t like guava) and the tuna crudo.

Beautiful aesthetics. Came here for brunch and was disappointed the “French toast” tasted more like a sponge cake. It looked beautiful but the taste was not there. Got a few other menu items and oysters were delicious. If I were creating such a beautiful restaurant, I would be honest with the menu items and what they’re offering.

Went for brunch and my dish (steak and eggs) was phenomenal. I gave it four stars because my husband's dish (Chicken Milanese), unfortunately didn't taste as good as mine. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere and interior are beautiful. We brought our 2 year old along and they had a high chair to accommodate us and the service was so wonderful and friendly/welcoming.

“Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of a few perceives what has been carefully hidden.” ~Phaedras And so it goes with restaurants. Things are not always as they would seem. The reviews/ratings looked good, and I expected a great, flavorful steak, but I got a tasteless, tough, awful steak! I would have done better at the grocery store or Sirloin Stockade. The Brussels Sprouts were much too sweet too. Yes, it’s a fun, hip ambience, but the food totally underwhelmed me. To be fair, the service and the drinks were very good. Q. What happens when you drop a steak on the floor? A. It becomes ground beef. -

We were very excited to try Porzana after all the continued positive hype only to be extremely dissatisfied. The restaurant was definitely a packed house so I sympathize with that. But our server was hands down the worst service we’ve EVER had. We ordered an array of food. Coffee,Drinks, apps, entrees. ( yes coffee as we had a long night ahead) We had to ask the server 3 times to bring the coffee to our table. After placing our entree & sides orders in, we again had to waive the server down to get any type of refill or new beverage order in. After a long while, the entree food came out, the steaks were cold and the sides that came out with were forgotten. At this point there was soo much wasted time with laggy & bad service that we skipped having the sides brought out & just rolled with it. Aside from all of this, the biggest fail In this service experience was, not one single time did the server EVER ask “ how is everything?” Or can I get you anything else? That was a shock to me when I left because this is basic serving 101. Anyone would definitely suspect that this was an off night for the business but there were way too many back to back fails that just did make sense. We would be open to trying it again as a one time bad experience could easily be fixed.

High end steaks

By far one of the best restourants I have been to in Minneapolis. Amazing food, great staff and a great atmosphere!
