Nicollet Island Inn

“This is a review for the restaurant. I did not stay at the Inn. The restaurant is five stars! We went one night for cocktails on the patio, which was fantastic and returned for Saturday brunch. Food and service is excellent at this hidden treasure. Recommended.”

“Perfect location. A quiet little island spot in the beating heart of the city. Historic building with an elegant yet understated exterior hides one of the best restaurants in the metro area. If you know you know. Comfortable quiet rooms kept most of the city noise out. Walkable distance to a great variety of shops, bars and dining with the entire downtown area accessible within just a few miles.”

“had a wonderful stay at the Nicollet Island Inn. The location truly sets it apart — it’s incredibly quiet and peaceful, yet right in the middle of the city. I loved feeling tucked away on the river while still being just minutes from downtown Minneapolis. My room was comfortable and full of character, and the entire property has a warm, relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. The restaurant was just as impressive. The food was very good — thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor — and the service was outstanding. Everyone I encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, quiet place in the heart of the city with excellent dining and great service.”

“Earlier this year, we had our son's rehearsal dinner at the Nicolett Island Inn in the Island room and the St. Anthony room. The process of setting up this event and coordinating it was super easy. I attribute this to the wonderful staff at the Inn, especially the events coordinator Jennifer. She made it all happen with ease and was so attentive to detail. We had about 60 guests and the food was amazing! I got so many compliments on the atmosphere and the short ribs! Thank you again Jennifer and all the wonderful staff for making my son and daughter - in - laws dinner special! So very pleased with the Nicolett Island Inn and I highly recommend for rehearsal dinners and wedding events!”

“Great food, great atmosphere, and our server was amazing!! Brad was so attentive to our needs even during the chaos of a Saturday night. He never made us feel rushed. He had such fun stories and added some entertainment to our meal. He was very knowledgeable on the menu, drinks, and future events the restaurant is having. We’ll be requesting him if we come back again!”
