Mara Restaurant and Bar Minneapolis Reviews from The Last Year
Attended a party at Mara and everything was excellent from
Attended a party at Mara and everything was excellent from the moment I stepped on property. Each staff member really went above and beyond for every interaction. Plus the food was exceptional. I think I fell in love when the NY strip was placed in front of me. I'm sure the host paid a pretty penny for the meal, but it was worth every one of those pennies. It was absolutely amazing.
I absolutely love this place.
The ambiance, the vibe the food and aesthetics are all top class. Staff are very friendly and professional.They have food that is Turkish/Arabic infused as well as other cuisine from around the world.
Can we call this place a hidden gem? We were visiting the
Can we call this place a hidden gem? We were visiting the city and before that, I looked up some restaurants. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything about this one. While we were walking downtown, I randomly found Mara. We even walked past it without noticing any sign. Mara is inside the Four Seasons Hotel. What a beautiful decoration. Open kitchen is right there if you want to watch the chefs working. Everyone was lovely, and very friendly. Our server was super nice. She was giving all the necessary information. Foods were inspired by 22 Mediterranean countries (as if I remember correctly). She kept our water glasses full of water during our dinner experience. I tried one of the Vermont drinks (Paradiso) as her favorite. Paradiso was nice, giving you a bitter taste as the aftertaste. It won't be my choice again once I go back there. But, still, it's enjoyable to drink it. Once the ice melted, I liked it more. Our choices of food were octopus carpaccio to share, bucatini for me, and the lamb shank for my partner. Bucatini was made with lobster. A few bites were a little bit more salty. Maybe cause of the lobster or a pinch of salt didn't mix well. In any way, it was still so yummy. I loved every bite of it. Very crispy basil flakes gave an extra touch. My husband normally refuses to eat pasta because of too much carbs, but he loves this bucatini. He wanted to have his own, too. Lamb Shank was also great. I got 2 bites from his plate. Cooked to perfect. The lamb was rested on freekeh rice and topped with crispy freekeh pieces. The interesting touch gave an interesting taste. I will try to make it, too. Octopus carpaccio was also perfect. It's hard to cut the octopus that thin and cook it to perfect. I wanna have that sharp knife and also their skills lol dish also had grapefruit slices as the topping. Mara became definitely one of my favorite restaurants. Price vs experience was so on point. We tried many places in many different cities and countries and paid way more money and received good-looking/bad taste dishes. You get what you pay at Mara. I loved it.
I just moved to downtown and what a start to my adventure
I just moved to downtown and what a start to my adventure in downtown Minneapolis! Mara is across from where I live now, after the reviews I read about Mara, I had to check it out. Took my daughters for lunch, the ambiance, the service and the food were epic Will definitely go again to experience the place at night.
Mara was beautiful.
The space was very inviting and calm. The food was beautiful and delicious - especially the octopus carpaccio. Chadwick, our server, offered just the right amount of input and help with the menu, and was fun to chat with. Overall, the experience was awesome.
Food was excellent.
The crudité that came with the baba ghanoush was especially good. The pita and the dessert soufflé were also amazing.
Salty and pricey food.
Small portion for food and cocktail. I had this cocktail with three huge ice rocks in it. Our server was okay but seems she is hurry and can't wait to have the next table in. She checks very frequently and was trying to take dishes right away when we were still eating. I think it just takes one hour for our dining time. It supposed to be a chill night for us but it just feels like they want us to leave soon. Anyway not a satisfying night.

Top-notch fine dining restaurant with exquisite menu and great ambience. Service, as usual in Four seasons - excellent!
There's a variety of food, and it is all cooked very well!
There's a variety of food, and it is all cooked very well! It was served up in individual plates or cups to be easy to grab. I wish there was a way to request just a plate of shrimp and not take 6 cups of the shrimp, for example. I would highly recommend ordering the small menu items on the made-to-order card on the table when you sit down. The meat and the eggs were absolutely delicious! The desserts were incredible and probably the highlight of the brunch for me, especially the carrot and chocolate cakes.
The restaurant is located in the main level of the Four
The restaurant is located in the main level of the Four Seasons hotel -- so expectations were high. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. The restaurant has an open floor concept with the kitchen fully exposed as well. I love the openness but struggled with the noise. Started simply, the ambience wasn't romantic or intimate, it was more of a ruckus. Sarah was our server and she was polite and professional-- greeting us by name and introducing herself as we were seated. She provided good recommendations and helped me avoid items with dairy very confidently. OUr drink orders arrived in a timely manner and our food order was captured at that time as well... And then the great waiting period began. Our drinks were gone...as were most of the people who had been sitting next to us...by the time our order finally arrived (lamb shank and Brussels) with almost no check-ins, drink refills or even acknowledgement that we were there. When the food finally arrived the lamb shank was satisfactory but the Brussels were terribly over charred. For the single entree, two sides (the Brussels and some hummus/overdone pita bread) and the two drinks - our bill was over $150, before tip. The price didn't surprise me, given the location, but you can't over cook the pita and Brussels while also taking too long to serve the food in a loud environment and still expect a glowing review. I won't be back.
Very good but far from excellent!
Mara is just about worthy of a very good rating, but far from excellent. Since opening we have been to Mara 3 times now and, each time the food has gone down hill just a little bit; the dishes have good spicing but the presentation can be a little clumsy. On our first dining experience here, they offered salt crusted Bronzino and, when it came to the table it was already filleted, this has not changed. For us at least, part of the experience of ordering a dish like this, certainly in Italy, is the theatre of having it served off of the bone, at your table. Their octopus carpaccio was more inline with true Italian flavours, and not Middle Eastern, with a delicate presentation and was excellent. What has improved greatly overtime is the wine list. It is now head and shoulders above the first time we came here and, clearly someone knows what they are going. I would rate it as excellent if it were not for the prices. A non vintage glass of Dom Perignon at $100 a glass is well...outrageous. There are however some much better choices if you take your time to choose carefully, but the majority are far too expensive. We were a party of 4 and I brought along 2 bottles of an excellent vintage Bordeaux and paid the corkage, which is $50/bottle. Ironically, they did offer the same wine but in a lesser vintage at $470 a bottle. So the moral being, if you have your own very good wine, bring it with you and pay the corkage. One last thing. if you are celebrating a special event and your party like to dress for the special occasion of being in the beautiful decor of Mara, go on Friday or Saturday evening and you may not be exposed to the baseball cap wearing fraternity. Cheers
A wonderful night!
Service is outstanding. Nothing more to say there. The menu is intriguing, and tempting overall. It was hard to choose, but the Lebanese dumpling was great. Good selection of wines and spirits, and a pleasant atmosphere. My only suggestion: revisit the plating. It’s a little awkward. It’s pricey, but you get what you pay for.
The Best!
My goodness, what an amazing restaurant and bar! The details in the drinks and the food were the absolute best. The staff is very professional yet personable and extremely knowledgeable about what they were serving me. The atmosphere is very nice as well. I highly recommend Mara, great restaurant for any “foodie”.
Excellent dining
Excellent restaurant, delicious food. European sea bass with tabouléh and chick peas salad, delicious. Red snapper with broccolini also delicious. My daughter rated the chicken highly. Wait staff very knowledgeable about the food but also about Minneapolis and are very happy to share information. The bar is also great as are the bar staff, fabulous wine selection, and the pool side bar also great. Bar tender very knowledgeable about birds! That was a pleasant surprise. Really great experience. Highly recommended.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!
