Hopkins is on a roll! This is great! Just what we've needed! Busy, bustling, and fun. Definitely upscale, but without the attitude. The menu was eclectic but everything we had was quite tasty. We had an issue with our online reservation not working, but the front of house manager was very kind and understanding. She got us in without too long of a wait. No tap beer, but the beer selection was good. The cocktails are fabulous! We'll be back!

Loved this spot! Came for a work meeting and immediately was impressed by the attention and friendliness of the staff! Kind, and approachable from host to wait staff. Free street parking and a lot behind the building. The food was excellent. You can always tell when ingredients are fresh and that was my experience. I ordered the salmon burger with greens and it was delicious. The place is so cute and feminine. Loved it all around. I will be back!

A group of foodie friends met for dinner here. We all loved it. Food: Almost all of us got the salmon dish and burgers. Salmon was perfectly cooked; just barely cooked in the center. Not too salty; great flavors! Menu is small, so it's pretty easy to choose what you want. Service: Attentive and friendly. Not rushed. Ambience: Super cute! Trendy pink/green hues, cozy interior space. No outdoor seating available, but the indoor space is a modern open concept. Very inviting! Highly recommend. Make reservations.

Service - Excellent. We sat at a high top near the bar, and our server was the perfect amount of attentive and helpful without hovering. I wish I had grabbed his name because he's great at what he does. Ambience and decor - Excellent. This place is truly adorable inside. It's small and cozy, and especially in the dead of winter in Minnesota, the flowers and plants were just gorgeous to experience. Drinks - Good. There were so many photos and reviews of the pink one, so I started with that and found it to be very tart (I admit I asked for something not too sweet) and served perfectly chilled, but I didn't love it. Now my Rose By No Other drink, that one I loved. So depending on what you are looking for, the cocktail menu is varied and the drinks are very well-crafted - you can find one using your preferred liquor easily. You might want to try 2 :) Food - Good. The prosciutto toast with fig was probably our favorite, and I forgot to take a photo of that one, drat. I also really liked the roasted carrots because they were mildly spiced and absolutely roasted to perfection without being over- or underdone. I like that they grill the romaine for the Caesar, but I didn't prefer the way it was served in large quarters with dressing and just a few, very sparse toppings presented on top. The seafood entrees look great so I'll be back!

Pink Ivy was delicious! I went with my friend for brunch on a Sunday morning and it wasn't super busy. Decor was very 2012 and isn't my style but the ambience overall was lovely and appreciated the attentive service. Apple + cucumber salad: Absolutely divine. Light and bright, the apple cider vinaigrette was tangy without being overpowering. I'm going to try and replicate this at home- will be great way to hoover a whole Napa cabbage! The almonds had nice crunch and the blue cheese was salty and umptious. All in all, well balanced and I won't forget this salad. BLT: My friend was very satisfied. Bacon was thick and it was all flavorful. Biscuits and gravy: This was really, really good. The Wild rice gravy was so interesting and hearty. The biscuits were bursting with rosemary flavor. Eggs cooked well. So pleasantly surprised by the lightly pickled cauliflower & jalapeno on the side, brought nice acid and brightness to an otherwise heavy dish. I ate every bite!!!! Drinks: I got an old fashioned which was good, but I wished they had big ice cubes. Partner also enjoyed her drink. Can't remember what she got.

Food was Fantastic , service not to par for what to expect at an upscale restaurant , we had reservation for lunch and showed up on time, figured we would have great service, but it was JUST .. ok. I would like to return for dinner to see if we have a better experience and try them again for sure! I have heard great things about this place and would try them again. Atmosphere was perfect. I was just not that impressed with how slow the process of getting drinks , meals in . Nothing was suggested, it was our first time here. Like I said it was great food ! Service not so much. Of course that sets the tone for your experience to be honest. I'll try them again!!

Food: the table ordered a side of fries, crispy chicken sandwich, and Caesar salad with chicken. The salad was great. It had grilled romaine lettuce and the dressing was made in house. Only thing is I wish they'd cut the salad for you lol. Luckily our server saw me struggling with the butter knife and brought a steak knife. The side of fries (with garlic aioli) tasted like they were fried in fish oil. No allergies but not an ideal French fry after taste. And they don't have ranch, womp. Since their in-house Caesar was delicious they should try they hand at ranch! Ambiance and service were 10/10! Pink/green/gold aesthetic and the presentation of food was thoughtful. Including a Lemonade and coke, the bill was about $70 before tip.

This gem is in downtown Hopkins, pretty easy to find parking. I made reservations per usual since i heard it was a hot spot. Super friendly staff as soon as I walked in. Beautiful in the inside but it was so nice out I sat on the patio. Staff was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Ordered a few different food items on the menu and some drinks. Also they bent my arm for a little dessert. Everything was beautiful to look at and taste just as good. I was skeptical of some things but I gave it a shot and didn't regret it. Definitely a great experience and can't wait to go back and try more things!

Loved our experience at Pink Ivy! Recently named a top 50 new restaurant in the twin cities, opening in early 2024. I love that they take reservations and parking was easy to find on the street. Nestled in downtown Hopkins, it's not a busy neighborhood. Here's what we ordered and ranked from our favorite to least. Crispy Lamb belly (5/5) so good, crispy, and flavorful. Grilled mushrooms (5/5) definitely get these! Grilled kale (5/5) delicious Mussels (5/5) so yummy and served in a big bowl with toast Tuna tataki (4.5/5) still really good but we loved the other dishes more Lamb toast (4.5/5) tender shredded lamb on top of nice chewy bread Skirt steak (4/5) still delicious but steak is steak. The potatoes and chimichurri served with it was delicious. Raspberry donuts (3/5) basic fried dough with a subtle raspberry sauce. All the dishes had a lovely pairing of either hummus, a beet sauce, or cream sauce. Honestly everything was delicious with the exception of our dessert. Our server Lucia was so delightful. She gave great recommendations, was friendly, and attentive. The decor was really cute and cozy. Pink Ivy will be a definite repeat restaurant for us!
