Aussie's Kebabs

We went for family dinner went my cousins came to town and it was great! A little loud, but the service was good and the food was too. I loved the shrimp Mac and cheese! Some of my family really enjoyed the jambalaya and I also really enjoyed the anchor wings and the tempura shrimp! The margarita flatbread was really was great as was the short ribs and rice! Nice and tender! People at the table were not a fan of the cheese curds. Says they tasted off. They used a different cheese and were a lot lighter and fluffier than we typically see. My niece thought her kids burger was okay but she is picky. The lasagna was good.. a little too cheesy and the drinks were super strong and reasonably priced! There is no parking lot but we did find meter parking with an event going on downtown! There are also parking garages around! I would go back again!

Upon walking inside, the first thing that catches your eye are the old newspaper headlines adorning the walls. Next comes the wonderfully created vintage sail ship that hovers above the bar, carrying bottles of liquor. T.V. screens are scattered about showing different sports games. I would have preferred a variety of news programs on the T.V. screens...just to keep in theme of its namesake. We started with the Brie Curds. Light tempura coating with melted Brie inside and accompanied with a warm blueberry sauce...totally worth the trip just by itself. My wife ordered the Almond Chicken Salad. Very flavorful with a light hint of citrus in the dressing. We both found the dish very pleasing. I decided to try the Manhattan Barrel Aged Gnocchi. Upon the first bite, my eyes rolled back and I was in heaven. The thinly sliced steak was perfectly cooked to medium-rare. The Gnocchi was perfect, with a coating of pepper over it. My wife isn't too keen on pepper, but I absolutely loved it. I finished my dish, and my wife's dish, and decided we need to come back and try some of the other menu items. Looking forward to our next visit.

Stopped by with a group of 6 for a Saturday lunch. They have a fun ship bar near the front entrance and the tables in the back are set up more as a sports bar with TVs playing different games (for us it was college football). They have a very extensive menu so it was easy for everyone to find something they wanted. I ordered the almond chicken salad, substituting feta for the blue cheese, and a strawberry mojito mocktail. Highly recommend the mocktail!! The chicken was delicious though the salad dressing was not my favorite and some of the greens towards the bottom of the salad weren't the best quality.

Located on the corner across from The Dakota, The News Room is a convenient, upscale restaurant offering American food and casual dining. While the salads, sandwiches, kinds of pasta, and entrées are excellent, the appetizers are so good that I prefer ordering several and making it my meal. The appetizers are very sharable. Their Brie cheese curds are amazing, and the flatbread crust is awesome. True to their ship theme, the seafood is excellent. I highly recommend the ahi tuna and salmon. The ambiance is unique and a fun experience. We like how the menu refreshes each season, and the daily specials are a fun way to try new entrees. Clearly, the place is reminiscent of the building’s early newspaper days. This newspaper theme is carried throughout; it’s fascinating to take the time to read and observe. While it is a bit pricy, the décor and food are exceptional. It’s nice that they have separate menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They offer many unique beverages, and I’d say that anything that aligns with your flavors is well worth trying. Oddly, their website isn’t secure, and they still use Flash, so I typically skip seeing the menu ahead of time. The booths have high backs that make conversing a bit easier as the music can be loud. They do both dine-in and takeout but not deliveries. Parking is much like for any other business in downtown Minneapolis. Metered Street Parking is available. Bring a fresh newspaper to read (I still love the experience); you’ll feel right at home! Lovely outdoor patio seating during warmer months.

All around great place. Servers seem happy to be there, food was perfect and drinks are great... They even shake and pour martinis table side so they're ice cold and full to the top! My fiance eats burgers EVERYWHERE and said this one was the best he's had in the US! Home fries were crispy and not oily at all. I had the Cobb salad, which really was fantastic. Tons of every topping so you're not just left with lettuce for half of it. We're so in love with the place we plan to host our rehearsal dinner here in their event space! Two thumbs up! A must visit

Easily one of the coolest bars I have ever been to. We stopped in for a quick drink and we’re immediately impressed with the decorations in the space. The entire bar is a giant ship! They also have headline news articles spread throughout the restaurant and each room is separated into categories of news stories. Our bartender was also incredibly nice and made some perfect cocktails.

What a unique place. Jonathon was phenomenal and came in with a great recommendation. Did the smash burger. Flavor was spot on from first bite. Got some ranch for my crispy hot fries and surprised that it seemed homemade. To top it off what a neat location. The atmosphere was so unique and welcoming. Def recommend!

Had a fabulous first time. For seated right away. The drinks we ordered came quickly and tasted amazing! We started with the croquettes they were so flavorful! My husband had a specialty burger. I got the tortellini it was absolutely one of the best tortellini's I've had in a long time. Thank you so much News Room for a wonderful night out! 10/10 give this place a shot
