Owamni by The Sioux Chef Minneapolis Reviews
So good.
Really unique and innovative menu and experience. A must try for Mpls. The views of the falls are also great.
Incredible concept that's well executed at Owamni.
The restaurant isn't flashy but it's absolutely stunning with the views of the river -- I recommend a dinner reservation for the view. Service was friendly. The presentation of dishes was fantastic and it was so fun to try the variety of fl

This is difficult to write, because I so wanted to love it, but just cannot. A friend of mine had heard of this place and as I am a foodie, I was intrigued by the pre-colonization indigenous concept. Yes, let's go, it's only a 10 hour drive

As a native this was an amazing restaurant to visit and enjoy a meal. I was attending a conference with our tribal child support conference.
What incredible food and an uplifting brunch experience
What incredible food and an uplifting brunch experience followed by a breathtaking walk on the stone arch bridge. Highly recommend!
I came here for dinner and lunch the following day.
I loved everything we tried and our waitresses were both so lovely and explained everything so well. The food was delicious and so innovative. The stuffed tomatoes, sweet potatoes and bison were my favorites. Will definitely be trying next time in to

Thursday evening reservation at 6:00 pm and they were out of many main entrees leaving our party of 3 choosing small plates that didn't work together. The server was rude, spoke very quickly and didn't slow down even upon our request and it
Love the concept.
Atmosphere was very casual (people wearing jeans and capris) and the space itself was pretty basic in decoration with indigenous music being played in background. Server was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Our drinks were AMAZING but did end up c

We made Owamni a destination as we went to Minneapolis for baseball and vacation. It sits on the river and on this Saturday it was just beautiful. Our server took her time explaining the menu and the concept of their restaurant. Don't skip the t
Very enjoyable meal and experience.
The food was quite tasty, we had a party of eight and were able to try many items. Our drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) were good. We had yuca fries, sweet potatoes, braised greens, charred vegetables, salmon tartar, chilaquiles and black co

Eating here was such a beautiful experience being Indigenous myself! The art hanging everywhere, all with their own stories, had me lingering well after I finished my meal!! The location was stunning being right by the water too and them big windows

When we arrived, we were brought to the private room which was downstairs. I think this space typically served as a classroom, but the desks had been re-arranged to be one large table for the group. the dinner began with an explanation of the history

We waited about a month to secure a reservation that would fit our availability. The restaurant interior is modern. Parking is available on the street or nearby the bridge. We tried the charred vegetable plate, yuca fries, marichou, bison ribeye

Absolutely creative and delicious dishes! Beautiful presentations and impeccable service! We were visiting from Arizona and had an hour before going to the airport. We didn't have lunch reservations but were able to sit in the outside patio!

My mom saw Owamni featured on Cook's Country and made a reservation for us prior to her trip to visit me. We had a 1 pm reservation and were able to find metered parking a block away. Since we arrived early, we walked around the lake for ~10-15

What a blessing to come here and share an experience that was memorable and encouraging that our foods and souls can be nourished without the destruction that colonization has brought us. From the moment we entered, it was a different experience. N

Been here several times.
But the last time I was there. Feels like something missing The ambiance is good. The view amazing. Service is gold stars. But the foods are missing the soul! Feels like very run of the mill quality now. I don't know what it is. Maybe the chef

My boyfriend and I treated ourselves to a meal here about a year ago. The dishes were unique and well thought out, but extremely pricey and very small servings. While service was good, we felt very rushed through our meal. Recommend if you are lookin

We got last minute reservations here online a day in advance for a Saturday 8pm dinner for 8 people in August. Really beautiful space. Parking was not too bad on the surrounding streets, although easier on 1st St than Great River Rd. Our server in
Honest opinion alert.
The selling point is indigenous food and you rarely see it in US, the only thing I had before was Indian taco from the state fair. I had really high expectations. Red corn soup with corn dumplings: not bad, which has popcorn and corn dumplings(corn
A unique (to me) restaurant cuisine
I had never been to a Native American restaurant before. So was really happy to have this opportunity. Beautiful, light filled and natural wood interior design. Our server was very helpful and friendly. My friend and I shared the charred vegetable p
Great dining experience
Great place, authentic tasty food, good service, and food knowledge, waiters are able to describe and explain dishes in details. The Chef follow their traditional cooking techniques. The view is a plus.
Great indigenous restaurant!
The food was terrific- bean dip, bison, sweet potato chips, rice and salad were excellent. I highly recommend this! Salmon was not not my fav but the sauce on it was delicious
Be prepared for a unique dining expereince
I'd missed getting in here the prior time I was in town a year ago and had to go this time. I appreciate restaurants with an unapologetic vision and this is about as unapologetic as they get. Food is Native and there are rather severe limitati
Great Experience
Excellent all the way around: service, food, setting and general all around feeling. Took my daughter here for her birthday, and on her dessert was a birthday candle. will go again when we are back this way.
Unique indigenous food
We had stellar service and enjoyed every dish we tried! Don't go expecting to find anything you've had before on the menu. All dishes are made with indigenous foods, no dairy, beef, eggs, etc., but they are all so tasty. We planned to sha
A Unique Experience
Native American cuisine, a wide variety of options, seasonal menus. No flour, no refined sugar, no dairy, but still delicious. We had the 'Green Gumbo' skewers with wild rice (REAL wild rice), with a corn cookie for dessert.
Distinctive and excellent
We loved everything about our meal at Owamni. The dining room was beautiful, the service friendly, and - most importantly - the food outstanding. If you go in expecting to be educated and surprised, you'll find that the food becomes more than
Spectacular cuisine, views, ambiance and excellent service.
My daughter was visiting from Arizona and wanted to have lunch here prior to her flight back home. I was also eager to dine here since first hearing about it. So on Tuesday, December 17, 2024 we made a reservation for 11:45 AM, table for four. I woul
Interesting Ingredients with a Great Mission
I enjoyed my meal at Owamni! I'm vegetarian and had a number of options to choose from the seasonal menu - two "small plates" ended up being the right amount for me to eat. If they're available, I definitely recommend the teas. Location is

Food presentation is amazing, decor is simple but elegant, location is beautiful and service is great. The actual food is ok. Nothing impressive beyond the fact that the restaurant boasts the concept of removing all colonial ingredients from the menu
This place was amazing and I love the concept.
Absolutely worth the money and a wonderful experience. The birria taco was hands down the best thing I've ever ate in my life!!!
I had one of my favorite meals ever here at Owamni.
It was truly incredible to taste new flavors I've never had before along with dishes that tasted like perfection. The rotating menu of Indigenous food all sounded delicious (including the teas and desserts), and it was hard to just pick a few for our
Lived up to all expectations.
Truly a special and memorable meal. I had the bison birria taco, sweet potato, and corn cookie. All wonderful
Nice Dinner
The food was very expensive but very good. We wished there would have been information available about the food. For example the sweet potato was white, not yellow. Why? Was it a variety that was heirloom? Was it wild sweet potato? Was it a variety

We think this may be the top restaurant we've ever been! Wow. This is a one of a kind place providing a decolonized food selection and a menu in English and Dakota online that changes seasonally. I do recommend you make reservations 2+ weeks in advan
We ate at Owamni on 7/13/24.
After reading the menu, full of locally sourced unusual fare, four of us agreed to eat family style so we could sample more dishes. Corn chowder, carrot tartar, pickles, and sweet potatoes came out first, followed by smoked bison and gumbo. To be ho
It was fine but not even close to great.
They have a unique cocktail menu and there are dishes on the menu you probably can't get at any other restaurant, but the food wasn't very flavorful, and they messed up our order in multiple ways. The prices are way too high for what we got. Overhype
Awesome service and great ambiance/ location right on the
Awesome service and great ambiance/ location right on the river. Had the smoke trout dip which was fantastic with all the flavors. Tried to squash and that was ok but wouldn't get again. Kind of plain. Got the bison taco which had a great combo of fl
Must Try Restaurant in Minneapolis
What can I say? One of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities. Original concept executed brilliantly. The food never disappoints, always creative. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, but they have to be because most people won't be f

We celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary at Owamni, after dropping off our daughter at summer camp. The setting is lovely, the food was delicious and the staff bent over backward to ensure we were comfortable and had a nice time. We loved the loc
great concept, but some drawbacks
I wish there was a 3 1/2 star rating. Best things: -unique experience -kind servers -delicious bison taco Less than great: -rushed plates. Came out so fast, there really wasn't time to properly enjoy. I felt they were trying to turn the table as qu
A Unique, Well Curated and Delicious Dining Experience
Not to show off but I’ve eaten at some of the finest restaurants around the world, laden with Michelin stars and I honestly believe this a e can hold its own with most of them. Why? Well the concept behind the place goes a very long way, it chim
Delicious Offerings but Pricey
We all agree that the items we chose were prepared well and had fantastic flavor. However, the portions are on the small side and they add a 13% service fee (which is noted on their webpage). Definitely worth the experience if you love to have dining
Wonderful and unique restaurant
This restaurant is amazing. Beautiful views, attentive staff, excellent food. We had wild rice, bison and elk tacos, duck breast, and squash custard. The duck was honestly the best I’ve ever eaten. I highly recommend eating here.
Never again
My family recently ate at Owamni, in Minneapolis. We had been trying to have a table for a long time, and were very excited. Our reservation was for the last shift, at 7:30 pm. We arrived at 7:35. The first item on the menu of 13 items was a tea that
Wait a little before tossing the leftovers!
The lunch we ordered was delicious without a doubt. I was not able to finish the Sweet Potato Maple Chili Crisp at the price of $15. I asked for a go box and boxed up the leftovers. As many people do, I forgot to pick up the box upon leaving. I wasn'
Connect with users posting reservations for Owamni by The Sioux Chef Minneapolis

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Owamni by The Sioux Chef Minneapolis at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Owamni by The Sioux Chef Minneapolis page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Owamni by The Sioux Chef Minneapolis to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Owamni by The Sioux Chef Minneapolis!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
