TL;DR: A donkey-show of failure and disappointment. I booked the Twinkling on the Terrace experience ($200 required minimum for 2 people) at and they absolutely failed to deliver. No Twinkling, no Terrace, no dining in the outside igloo. Poor service, flat champagne. Left as soon as we paid for drinks. When we arrived, the igloo was empty, dark and the terrace had not been cleared of snow. It was clearly *closed*. There was no hostess / greeter and the waiteress was confused when I asked about my reservation for the Twinkling on the Terrace experience. She went to get the manager. Someone came out who was dressed like a bounder, pointed and asked, "you want to sit out there?! We're not ready for that." I politely declined and said we would sit inside. Then a man in a suit came out and started questioning me about how I booked the reservation, when I booked, why I didn't call, did I pay, etc. Hello? It says I booked it *in your system!* OpenTable has the reservation. The manager gave more excuses and then blamed me for "not calling and speaking to anyone there ahead of time." I'm sorry, what? And, I *did* call twice and was punted back to the hotel front desk both times. This was supposed to be a very romantic evening with my date. Instead it was a donkey show. Still, we sat inside and ordered drinks. The restaurant had only 2 other small parties (of 4 and 2) so it was EMPTY! The drinks took an eternity to arrive - we had to ask 2x if the order was put in. Then the champagne was flat. It was a very disappointing experience. We decided to leave and walk 3 minutes to another high-end restaurant that knows how to serve its patrons with excellence and alacrity. Advice to Blondette: when YOUR system allows someone to book a premier, expensive experience, and YOU are unable to deliver, DO NOT blame the patron. We will not be going back.

This restaurant could be so much more than it is. The building and space are lovely. The food is not outstanding, but it is solid. The service is slow and distinctly unprofessional for an upscale restaurant. The staff were closer to Applebee's than Le Bernadin. I expect more from Daniel del Prado. His other restaurants in Minneapolis are outstanding. Blondette is a distant cousin to Martina.

We loved the food. The first seating was very quiet and enjoyable, and the food was phenomenal. Especially the passionfruit tarte!

Mostly French inspired dishes, which were good portion size and flavorful. The weak link here, is the service which is slow; I think the pacing between when you order and when you receive your item can be improved, especially with drinks. My wife ordered an NA mocktail, which turned out to be unavailable but it took 10 minutes for our waiter to communicate that, then it was showing on the bill (it was removed after I noted the error).

The ambiance was not as moody as it’s portrayed online, leaving it kind of awkward feeling. Our waitress was super kind and friendly but the experience was odd, she didn’t come around often and when she did she didn’t gather our plates or ask if we wanted dessert, we waited over 30 min for our plates to be cleared and by that time we were desperate for the bill. We ordered the salmon ($40) and the pomme Anna (au gratin potatoes) to share. The pomme Anna was described and buttery crisp cheesey - it was that but on top of a bed of tomato sauce. It was and interesting dish to say the least the tomato soup through me off. The salmon was delicious and the high light of the evening - crispy pan seared perfectly cooked salmon BUT $40 for a 4oz slice of salmon is crazy CRAZY - with no sides!? Wild. Also why did I have to pay a deposit for a reservation!?! Also wild.

Heard great things and we were excited to try it out. Service was horrendous, and as we were leaving in the elevator, we talked with another table who said the same thing. Hopefully it was just an off night for the server, and it’s not a regular occurrence. Otherwise, the food was decent. Not sure if the risotto is supposed to be “hot” or just “warm”…
