“ The Walleye? Wowee. My first time catching this freshwater fish in my array of eating experiences. A distinctly different taste for sure. (The vegan soup did the trick too. Next time I’m going for the peach salad!) Yes, I was in business tourist mode at a tradeshow. My expectations? This is a random hotel restaurant. I had none. I opted for the bar and got friendly fare from the staff and fellow patrons from near and far. If you’re in downtown Minneapolis at the Hyatt, don’t just consider Prairie. Definitely stop by it! ”
“ The Bar staff made it for me. They provided great conversation, generously honored our free drink tickets, and managed to keep us in the hotel all week cause they were cool to hang out with. ”
“ My favorite Bar men in Minneapolis can be found here. Friendly, fast and a great service. And meeting point too. Made friends while there. Great ambiance and TV view. Supported Team USA at the Olympics from there. Great service point. Try it while there. Its within the Hyatt Regency ”
“ Amazing Old Fashioneds from the bar! Wowza! The fried cheese curds were delicious, but more often than not, the fried part was missing the cheese curd. Not sure I would get those again. The Minnesota Wild Rice dish was delicious. I would order that meal again. ”

“ Fantastic service. They're prompt and friendly. Also, great food! I had the salmon burger. I'll definitely be back again while I'm in the city! ”
“ Food: Grilled Chicken Club with chips - delicious! Loved the added herbs, and the picked red onions were a nice surprise! Service: the waitress was great! She even offered to add cherry syrup to my Pepsi. I loved that idea and it was better than Cherry Pepsi! Atmosphere: my teen and I weren't bothered by other guest and the restaurant was well kept. Not too busy for a Saturday lunch. They had football games on the TVs but that wasn't a bother - just had me focus on keeping convo with my company. ”
“ Boyfriend and I stayed here for my birthday this past weekend and stopped into the prairie a few times, Jazz was an amazing server/bartender every time and made one of the BEST espresso martinis I’ve ever had. 10/10 I will be thinking about that martini for the rest of my life. ”
