Small plates, cocktails, oysters, and a lively atmosphere
"Nightingale is a reliable stop for oysters, cocktails, and warm, brasserie-like dishes like smoked chicken liver pate, scallops with almond gazpacho, and hanger steaks. The atmosphere is casual and neighborhoody, but with enough sparkle for a proper weekend night out. The kitchen is open until midnight; drinks are served until close at 1 a.m. Reservations are accepted on Tock, and takeout and delivery are available, too." - Eli Radtke
"Nightingale reliably has a row of tables out on Hennepin Avenue. Swing by for oysters and cocktails." - Justine Jones
"For a pre- or post-show cocktail, LaBlanc has you covered, too. 'If you go to the Jungle Theater, you get a cocktail at Nightingale.'"
"Nightingale has been an Uptown Minneapolis classic since Jasha Johnston and Carrie McCabe-Johnston opened it in 2012. Casual and neighborhoody — but with enough shine that it feels like a night out — it’s a reliable stop for oysters, French fries, and cocktails. More than 10 years in, Nightingale still has a buzzy vibe, and is always packed on weekends." - Eater Staff
"Nightingale merges the upscale and casual with a menu that masterfully balances both. Slurp sweet, saline oysters and snack on a pickle plate; share chicken wings and a peppery arugula salad with a friend. Mains include tamarind-glazed salmon and a burger dressed up with herbed aioli and sharp cheddar. Don’t skip the weekly specials for discounts and exclusive bites." - Natalia Mendez
