It's our first time celebrating the birthday at Demi. So far, most of their foods and desserts are good. Just a few of their dishes are a bit salty. We let them know about my allergy when we made the reservation already. They accidentally service me, but I didn't take a bite yet, we reminded the chef about my allergy while he went over the dish ingredients. He took my plate away and went to check on their sheet. Then they made me an editable dish. It tasted very good. By far, i like it.
Came in to celebrate a birthday. Demi was recommended to me by a Chef in Chicago, Devin Denzer.
Up arrival, we were greeted and quickly guided to our seats at the U bar. The space is rather intimate and as diners, we have a up close and personal view of the chefs in the kitchen prepping each course.
We elected to have the wine pairing which was excellent. There were a number of wines which delighted us and brought about different notes in the dishes.
My favourite courses were the foie gras, venison, and the parsnip agnolotti. My partner, who has a sweet tooth, loved all of the desserts.
All in all, it was a lovely evening out with well prepared food. Definitely a meal I recommend for a special occasion.
The experience at Demi was nothing short of 5 stars. You are greeted warmly on arrival and made to feel right at home. The entire staff work together in seamless perfection.
My wife and I have had tasting menus around the globe, but none have been superior to Demi. The courses and wine pairings flowed perfectly. Flavors and presentation were beautiful.
Our thanks to all at Demi for a memorable dining experience.
(My only suggestion would be to improve the valet parking. Requiring patrons to walk 1.5 blocks from the valet at Spoon and Stable to the front door at Demi is suboptimal, especially for a restaurant of this caliber and price point.)

We went here for our birthdays, and felt very spoiled. It was exciting to know what dish would be next. There were so many favorites that I wish I had more of. We had the fall menu, and loved the pasta, fish, bison, and their main desserts. Service was great and they were knowledgeable about all the dishes and ingredients. It's a tiny restaurant and pretty amazing they can cook all that amazing food in that small kitchen. We also enjoyed the front view of all the chefs preparing our food.
If I had to say one bad thing about this place, then it was the birthday cake they served us. It was a nice gesture and it wasn’t expected, but they really didn’t have to (nor should’ve served it). The reason is because the cake tasted like a leftover cake that nobody wanted from Cub Foods. Hey, Cubs is my everyday bakery, but it was such a drastic difference/disappointment from the 5* meal we just got served. I wouldn’t serve that cake at all. We were happy without it.
They also gave each of us a box of treats to take home. Other than the bday cake disappointment, we would definitely come here again for special occasions.
The food is some of the best in the world, the blending of ingredients to take you on a sensory journey is unparalleled! For us being able to learn from Jenna, Ty and the chefs, about the history of the wine producers and the areas of the world they reside in is half of the fun. The service is next level and authentic which makes us want to come back each season for the Demi experience. Congrats to the entire team on your hard work and dedication to your craft! Just reached out to google to see if we can increase the rating to six stars🤩
Food was delicious & well executed that went very well with a nice bottle of riesling. The ambiance was casual and not stuffy. My only complain is that when we arrived to the restaurant there was a big group getting their drinks and we were just standing there for about 10 mins. By the time they were done, it was time to go to our seats. Better planning or improv would be helpful to avoid this queue.
Wonderful experience! Great staff & service, delicious wine pairings with each course, plenty of food ... left very full! Amazing intimate tasting, highly recommend.
This place was amazing! I loved how everyone interacted with you during the presentation the best customer service I have had in a long time. Worth every penny! My husband and I did both wine flights (so we could try all of them)and we added the extra course. I have added pictures however they do not do their art justice. Thank you for am amazing night.
Demi was superb. Walking in you see a boutique bar, where the bartender will make you any drink you desire with your spirit of choice. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and LOVE their job. The courses were elegant, beautifully plated, complex, flavorful and vibrant. They use seasonal ingredients, most of which are locally sourced. The wine offerings are endless and the varieties are rare and thoughtful. The ambiance is part of the draw. The courses were just enough food as well. Highly recommend Demi for a special occasion, or just to spoil yourself!
Best fine dining restaurant I know of in the area.
We were greeted warmly and offered a cocktail upon arriving. The cocktails were delicious and made right in the entryway as if we were in someone's home, not a restaurant.
The service continued in this way - a feeling of being welcomed into an intimate kitchen space rather than being separated from the chefs and hosts creating the experience.
The food, like the food at Spoon and Stable, was elevated without losing sight of deliciousness - the techniques augmenting rather than distracting from the dishes.
We also had the wine pairing, and were treated to wonderful brief explanations of the fabulous wines, each of which complimented the tastes on the plate.
I've eaten at Meadowood and the French Laundry, and left Demi feeling similarly impressed. It's a talented and thoughtful group of ambitious young chefs and staff delivering the best dining experience I've had in the twin cities. Highly recommended.
