The News Room

Five stars for The News Room! I go for the refreshing cocktail menu and stayed for the food which is excellent choice. I try a different dish on every visit and I am always impressed. The food and drinks are wonderful, it’s the hospitality that keeps me coming back. Alma provides stellar service that truly elevates the entire experience.

Great food in a fun atmosphere. Old timey vibe with news them appropriate to its name. Fantastic location. Very close to the Orpheum and Target Center / Target Field. Prices are about what you'd expect for a restaurant downtown. The tortellini I got tasted great and drinks very decently strong. Service is fast and there's plenty of seating. Waiters check on you regularly. Its a good restaurant overall.

Great service, and delicious food. Overall, the Staff is nice, servers go above and beyond. i had a beef lasagna and my partner had a chicken Alfredo and a berries salad, all super tasty and well cooked. Bathrooms are clean, as well as the other areas of the premises. I want to go back there for sure.

Last night into town and this place just ruined it. How could you bring out a dish with a burnt steak to serve! The cold mash potatoes and hard pita chips definitely were overcooked. Still ended up paying for the burnt meal, I recommend hiring new chefs and line cooks.

I have been to one of the sister locations outside Chicago (the saddle room) and the food and drinks are great there. The Newsroom is maybe trying a bit too hard to find itself with its menu. We had the turkey burger and the black and blue sandwich. I don't know what flavor they were going for with either.. we also added the Brussels sprouts which was more of a hot shave sprout salad and was unexpected but not in the best way. The service, ambiance and drinks were good. I did get the peanut butter and jelly old fashioned minus the peanut butter bourbon (subbed a basil Hayden) and it was quite good.

The customer service was top notch, from the host to the wait staff. Food was amazing and cooked as requested. Definitely try the apple bread pudding, it was amazing. In town on business, we chose this restaurant on recommendation from locals and we were not disappointed.

The food was alright. Tasted good but not super special overall. Great service, nothing against them or the venue. I really enjoyed the burrata board. Good combination of flavors. The Caesar salad however was the least flavorful Caesar I have ever had. It almost tasted like plain lettuce to me, with how bland the dressing was. Chicken parm, the chicken was really good, the sauce and pasta was fine. The jambalaya pasta was alright according to my boyfriend.

I had a reasonably nice meal at The Newsroom with the number of co-workers while in minneapolis. The food in the appetizers were good and everyone generally enjoyed their meals but it was not anything overtly spectacular. The cocktails were well mixed and not overly strong and the service was good considering we were at an awkward shaped table with one server. The meal was novel and good.
