The Hottest New Restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul Right Now, January 2025

"Lynette, Longfellow’s much-anticipated neighborhood bistro, is now open in the former Riverview Wine Bar space. A venture by Billie Conaway, Travis Serbus, Melissa and Ben Siers-Rients, and executive chef Brian Sharpe, the restaurant is an homage to Lyn65, the cozy, time-worn haunt that Serbus, Siers-Rient, and others carved out of a Richfield strip mall circa 2016. Highlights from the brunch menu include a silky quiche and a thick-cut cured bacon BLT; for dinner, there’s duck fat fries; braised short rib; crab risotto; roasted bone marrow spread on bread with ham and Gruyere; and more." - Eater Staff
