Marna's Eatery and Lounge

Delicious ! Some wicked Latin flare in the upper Midwest !! Round 1 Ceveche, maiz Dulce, and plantains maduros. All great ! Make sure you get some extra sauce on the ceveche it’s a wonderful coconut milk base with spices. The maiz had a smoke corn/cheese flavor and delightfully spiced. Who doesn’t love a little caramelized plantain?!? Pair it with a coconut curry sauce and black bean **chefs kiss** Round 2 28 Bistec Encebollado - make sure you get a fork/spoonful of all the ingredients ! The steak is in a delightful vinegar chimchurri on the steak which highlights the caramelized onions and a twist of coconut habanero rice. MN spice level 5/10 spice level anywhere else in the world 1/10 El Dorado- delicious fish cooked perfectly with a crispy edge, paired amazingly with the coconut habanero rice and mango salsa. . . Going to get again. And I am not a fish guy ! Round 3 Flan toasted coconut on a large portion of flan with thing smooth caramel. Churros. Warm, plush, and paired with homemade coconut ice cream and SMOOTH caramel (pretty sure I use the same caramel recipe for my cheesecake. It’s a flavor texture you can only make one way... don’t worry your secret is safe with me !) My ONLY recommendation is bring back the tres leches even if from time to time. I have seen many pictures online and I want it but they stopped serving it about 6 months ago. The environment is wonderfully decorated and just a delight to just soak in !

Marna’s was absolutely amazing. We went on a Thursday night and it wasn’t too busy. Everything I put into my mouth was delicious. The mark of a favorite restaurant in my book is that not only is the food exceptional, but that I want to come back and try other things on the menu. This is one of those places. The service was perfect and the vibes were good. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes

We had dinner there for the first time tonight. All of us raved about the food! Not only was it delicious but you could see the professional pride in preparing it with the freshest best ingredients and presenting it an artful manner . This is affordable fine dining in a Neighborhood restaurant and will be our go-to destination from now on. Can’t wait to try all their dishes.

This place is sooooo good, heres why; The foods is amazing!!! So much wonderful flavors, wonderful things happening to your taste buds. There wasn’t one thing I didn’t love. Food recommendations; carne desmachada, you have to get a corn bread if you’re going, Bistec, the maiz dulce, and of course the churro dessert. The drinks are beautiful and tasty. The atmosphere is beautiful and feels like you’re escaping the cold MN winter for just a moment. The service was great, the only thing I will say thats off putting is they do have a 10% wellness charge which I do think is frustrating especially because I didn’t see it labeled on the menu. However, this place is so amazing, I still gave it a 5 because thats how good the food is.

Marna's Eatery and Lounge is amazing! The menu boasts a delightful mix of traditional dishes, each bursting with fresh and flavorful ingredients. It's clear that the kitchen takes pride in the quality of their food – everything tasted like it was made in-house. Marna's also shines with its impressive craft cocktail selection. they are thoughtfully crafted and provide a wonderful accompaniment to the meal. Trust me on this, save room for dessert! The churros with coconut ice cream is the best i ever had! I highly recommend Marna's Eatery and Lounge to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Costa Rican flavors, expertly crafted cocktails. I will be returning to this place, and I will sit at the bar where we received the best dining experience from Miguel.

This is a late review. Wad our Valentines dinner here because we knew all other places where going to be booked and this place was had also been on my “want to go” list. Our dinner was fantastic! From our drinks to our meals to the service. Atmosphere was great and definitely makes you feel like you are on vacation when you enter. The food was amazing! Colorful, well plated, and overall flavorful! The experience was great and will be coming back soon!

Wow, so glad my friend had heard of this place and recommended it. All the food was fresh and fantastic! Great flavor combinations and reminded me of my trip to Costa Rica many years ago. The drinks were off the chart too. Yes, La Pina was worth every cent! Just wish I was drinking it on the beach!

As a local, I finally made it to Marna's and so happy I did. Everything was great, the service, food, and environment. I'm always looking for GOOD new foods to try, and this hit the spot. I liked both my dishes equally because the flavor combos were not something I'd traditionally think to pair together, and they worked so well. I love those moments/find. • Beach Day Punch • Seared Scallops • Carne Desmechada
