My husband and I chose to stay here for our 10 year anniversary. It was a disappointing experience. We both had the tasting menu with the wine flight at dinner. The presentation was flawless, the service very good but the food was less than average. There wasn't any "bad" food but it certainly wasn't great food (or even good). We... More

Our son and wife (who live in Singapore) hosted a dinner here in December 2012 for 60 family members and friends to celebrate their marriage and birth of their son. The Inn was beautifully decorated for the holidays and the lower level where the reception and dinner were held was very elegant and a perfect place for a dinner party.... More

We enjoyed our daughter and son-in-law's lovely, intimate wedding in a private dining room at the Nicolett Island Inn restaurant on December 23rd. Looking outside the restaurant's large expansive windows, we viewed a beautiful, picturesque snowy setting with an occasional horse drawn carriage going by. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. As busy as they were, they... More

My boyfriend had purchased a groupon for a one night stay here. The service here was incredible. Everyone was genuinely kind. The food was above and beyond our expectations, our server was so patient with us. The room was very simple no big flashy decor simple and vintage, this is not a "getaway stay" hotel. More of a sweet romantic... More

First, I must admit that this stay at the Nicollet Island Inn was a result of a Groupon deal that included a $40 wine credit. That said, we enjoyed our stay. The first impression that one is left with is that the entire staff (hotel and restaurant) are professional, courteous, and helpful. The location makes all the major Minneapolis attractions... More
