    Everything we had was amazing! My wife had a chef's special fettuccine & asparagus and I had the spicy shrimp spaghetti. The entrees, house-made bread and limonetta bella dessert were all incredible. Service was fast and friendly, with recommendations for food and drinks, we will absolutely be back!

    Hazelwood Bloomington is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. Every time I'm in Minneapolis on a monthly basis, I make sure to go out of my way to stop here. I brought numerous clients here and my manufacturers, and they agree. The food is fresh, the service is awesome, and the ambience is second to none. Kudos to you and your host Pat for running a first-rate operation. Can't wait to get back in July.

    The ambience and atmosphere was open airy and inviting. The staff was friendly cheerful with good energy with enthusiasm. I love that i had been there days before and the staff remembered me and made me feel like family. The brunch was a culinary experience of excellence. The Florentine Omelette was was outstanding full of flavors. The hash brown potato cake was simply amazing with texture flavor and oh so delicious The pancakes are an unusual shape thick moist and delicious full of flavor along with a buttery honey syrup unlike anything i have ever tasted. I was simply hooked on it. The mimosas were served on a metal tree stand with elegance and wonder. All the delicious entrees had a scrumptious plating appeal. This trendy hot spot in the north loop of Minneapolis is a must go to for any occasion celebrating or as a foodie for a delightful meal and culinary experience, taste, flavors and unique excellence

    My two friends and I visited Union Rooftop for brunch yesterday, and overall we had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and most importantly, the service from our assigned server, Giovanni, was exceptional. He was attentive, professional, and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. The only disappointing part of our experience involved another employee who was wearing a green dress. She removed the umbrella from our table and moved it to another table whose guests had just arrived, leaving my friend sitting directly under the hot sun. When we politely asked her not to move it, her response was rude and dismissive. She simply said, “Well, you have to share,” without showing any concern for our comfort. Her customer service skills left much to be desired and did not reflect the level of hospitality we experienced from the rest of the staff. Despite this unfortunate interaction, I am still leaving a 5-star review because I refuse to let one employee overshadow an otherwise excellent experience. The food was fantastic, Giovanni provided outstanding service, and we genuinely enjoyed our brunch. I would gladly return and hope management addresses situations like this in the future.
