Bar La Grassa is a great restaurant in the warehouse district of downtown Minneapolis. It has a fun , upscale casual atmosphere. The chef, Isaac Becker was named the best chef - Midwest by the James J Beard Award Foundation and the excellent food, just made for sharing, doesn't disappoint.

We have wanted to eat at Bar La Grassa for quite awhile and I had read about this restaurant and about chef Isaac Becker and his James Beard award.

It is tradition to dine with my mom and sister on my birthday. My mom likes the older, classic restaurants, my sister prefers casual places, and I'm a foodie. We are a hard group to please. We are also Italian-blooded women. BLG was able to satisfy all of us, and I was thrilled--THRILLED--to see squid-ink pasta with sea urchin! And... More
