"My girlfriend and I both love frequenting Nightingale for date nights! Everything is always fantastic, from the atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious plates! We always start with a selection of East and West coast raw oysters, priced at $4/each. It’s always made sure of that you have fresh cutlery between courses, smoked olives, water, and a cocktail in hand! We typically are helped out by our two favorite servers at Nightingale Mohamed and Greyson, who nevertheless stop by our table on our visits to say hello, both are extraordinary and never fail to make our dining out extra special. We also love when we see Anna and Shane working! Recently they’ve had some menu switch ups, so we haven’t been able to try all the new items but our favorites remain the Mushroom Bruschetta, Chicken Wings, Grilled Octopus, Hanger Steak, and Steamed Mussels! For drinks we love the Four Horseman, Blood on the Tracks, Coupe D’evil… and trying their rotating cocktail of the moment! When we can we love to stop in on a Monday night for half off bottles of wine (Mohamed always has great wine recommendations!), and Wednesday’s for their famous Lobster Spaghetti! Overall, Nightingale never ceases to exceed our dining expectations!"

"Big believer in this cozy neighborhood bar and restaurant. Has obvious class. Decent music and stereo. Big bar. Perfect lighting. Diverse and attractive crowd."

"After a month of living in Minneapolis, my spouse and I decided to try a couple of the neighborhood joints in Greater Uptown. There are so many sub-neighborhoods in the Twin Cities, it's hard to keep track. Nightingale is on Lyndale South, if that's a neighborhood. Walking in, fearful of a young crowd, I was surprised at the eclectic group of patrons. That was cool. We sat down at the bar, finding two open seats on a Saturday night. It was early. Everyone behind the bar treated us with warmth and good cheer, especially Riley. He mixed me a Coupe de Ville, which knocked my socks off. My toes are still wiggling the next day. After two, the world looked great to me. The white wine from Calabria was a unique and special pour, rich with hints of melon and apple. My spouse loved it. Food was also special, the smoked smoked chicken liver pǎté lip-smackin' good, and my mezze maniche was a pasta worthy enough to be on the menu at Dario, the best pasta place in town. The hanger steak put a smile on my wife's face. That's difficult, sitting next to me. We had a fantastic time at Nightingale, and know it will become a "hang-out" for the two of us."

"My boyfriend and I popped in the other night and had a blue wave which was excellent and the coca de cup. Wine was half off bottle so of course we got one. The Moscato was perfectly bubbly."

"The atmosphere is a bit loud but welcoming. The staff are super friendly and they go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. The cuisine is delicious and well prepared. Will visit again."
