Great restaurant! Went here for a date night with my wife and left the children behind, and we enjoyed it. It’s a bit spendy, but our meal was fabulous. The grilled octopus was dynamite, the squash ravioli phenomenal, and we shared the chicken entree. Usually i feel like chicken is a boring choice, but our server raved about the preparation, and she was quite right. It was really delicious. A starter cocktail, bottle of wine, and dessert rounded out the evening. Great service, wonderful ambiance, all in all, highly recommend.

For my 32nd birthday afternoon tea, the Four Seasons was really a wonderful choice. Our server Ashely, was top notch! The Four Seasons offered Jasmine tea sourced from Yunnan, China. The server told us that the teas they selected are of the highest quality, from the way the leaves are picked to the roasting process, all following the highest standards and done with great care. I felt so moved as a Chinese that I almost teared up. Although China is the birthplace of tea culture, many Western restaurants tend to prioritize Japanese tea because they perceive it as more premium. So when the server said that the Chinese tea they were serving was of the highest quality, it made me genuinely happy. I definitely recommend this place for your afternoon experience. They also offer lactose free/alternative pastries and desserts.

We did the Chef’s Table at Mara for my birthday, and I have to say, it’s one of the best tasting menus in Minneapolis. Every course was better than the last! I’m a vegetarian, and they thoughtfully catered to me—my entire 7-course meal was vegetarian and absolutely delicious. I’d heard tasting menus sometimes leave you hungry, but we were completely satisfied by the end. The service was impeccable as well. I would definitely return for any special occasion.

Elvis was our server. He did an outstanding job and was attentive to our needs. The food was delicious. We had our meals off of the gluten-free menu.

I recently dined at Mara and was completely blown away. Every dish I tried was phenomenal, from the perfectly cooked wagyu steak, to the grilled octopus, to the rich and decadent lobster risotto, which was absolutely luxurious. Each bite was a reminder of how refined and thoughtful their menu is. The ambiance is stunning, the service was impeccable, and the overall experience was top-tier. Highly recommend for a special night out or any time you want to treat yourself to something extraordinary
