A great place for a special occasion always -- but esp. at the Holidays. Great decor, lovely free music, cool drinks, great service and the photo booth all make for a fun time. And being employee owned is a cherry on the top of the sundae. I wish they had more vegan dishes. There is very little there for me to eat.

We felt taken care of, the service was attentive and very friendly. When a mistake was made, the waiter addressed it right away. The atmosphere was vibrant on a downtown Friday night. We'd asked for a booth in a somewhat quieter area and got exactly what we wanted. Our family had a wonderful night out.

With a name like The Newsroom, I was not expecting a sports bar atmosphere. I was expecting it to be themed like a Newsroom. Server, Jake, was great. The brie bites were wonderful. And we made it to the theater on time.

A nice new addition to Open Table. A little pizza dive close to Loring Park festivities or the convention hotel scene. The one size 16 inch pizza is definatley enough to feed four, or half to take home for later! They do sell by the slice too.The 5 Meat Medley was loaded, I just wish it had more sauce. I loved the bacon crumble on it. Sometime, I would love to try their chicken . Staff are keepers.
