I love this restaurant. It's very romantic. The food is presented beautifully. I had the duck, which was good, down to the carrots and asparagus. Nothing was ordinary. My husband ordered the salmon. We shared our meals. It was fantastic. I cook, but I would not be able to make something like this salmon dish. The meal was more expensive than we usual. Totally worth it

Delicious wine, salad, and entrees. I had the salmon, and my husband had the beef wellington. We loved them both! Also really appreciated the great service.

Tangled up in blue is out of this world. They've been extremely accommodating and nice about including my vegetarian sister. We liked it when Ross was the owner/operator. It is just as good now. Highly recommend it.

As a vegetarian I was a little embarrassed to ask for two sides for my meal. All of the entrees were meat or seafood (although the server says the menu changes periodically). The chef personally assured me that he could prepare something vegetarian for me, and he certainly delivered. The risotto and vegetables were perfectly cooked and he added stuffed mushroom caps and stuffed peppers. My boyfriend tried duck for the first time and was pleased. The staff went out of their way to get us everything we needed.

We stopped in with the family (3 young children) after a ski race and family ski day at nearby Wild Mountain. It was an impromptu visit and there were no problems. I wouldn't call it "kid friendly," as the menu and atmosphere are more adult oriented, but they sure were super attentive to our kids and made the visit easy for all of us.. The owner/staff was very helpful and super friendly. The service as great. The.wine selection nice. and the food was rich and flavorful. It really wasn't food - it was cuisine! Do not leave without trying their Bananas Foster over a decadent chocolate tort... flamed at the table!

We visited here two years ago for my birthday dinner while staying at a nearby bed and breakfast. We felt as though we were guests at the chef's home, also! The chef and other staff customized any of our requests, created a hot drink for me that wasn't on their menu, and wow was our food amazing. I felt like we had a private chef. The restaurant was busy which was great to see - and understandable. Definitely worth the price. Have to love all the blue decor!

First off, what's not to like about a restaurant named after a Bob Dylan song? This is my 3rd time dining at TUIB, and I've been pleasantly surprised each and every time. We stopped for an early 4:00 pm dinner on a gorgeous fall Sunday after hiking nearby Interstate Park and Franconia Sculpture Garden. After enjoying deliciously simple and exquisitely fresh house salads, I had a 16 oz. Black & Bleu steak that was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. This beast is huge, and I'll be enjoying the leftovers for dinner tonight! My companion had the Spicy Jambalaya with Jumbo Shrimp that would have made ol' Hank Williams proud. When they say Jumbo Shrimp, they're not kidding, and the Andouille sausage was the most authentic I've tasted outside of Louisiana. This dish was also quite large, with plenty of leftovers heading home. A fabulous Bananas Foster made table-side and shared provided a splendid finale to our feast. With its' great service, funky cool blue ambience, and excellent food, TUIB is a rare find outside the greater metropolitan area. We will be back!

In the area for a quiet weekend away from the twin cities, tangled up in blue was recommend by the innkeeper. The decor takes the blue and tangled theme to heart including the glitter on the table. Wine list was respectable with enough options for any of their entree choices. The wife and I both had the featured salad of mixed greens, fresh strawberries and blueberries and a creamy yogurt vinaigrette that was well enough. The wife had the stuffed pork loin topped with a creamy mustard sauce. This she did enjoy enough although the sauce was very reminiscent of a pre-made brand name cooking sauce. My entree unfortunately required feedback to the chef. The salmon puff-pastry was presented well over risotto and daily vegetable. Puff-pastry shell was well cooked with very tender salmon constrained within. The miscue was the sauce. The sauce contained an inedible amount of sodium. I was able to contain most of it and finish a majority of the dish. The staff was very responsive to the feedback offering to make a new order of sauce and risotto, although I declined. The staff advised that the sauce did not contain any additional salt just lobster base and capers which leads me to believe proportions were off in there kitchen. It was also noted that the daily vegetables of cooked baby carrots and asparagus were cold on both entrees. The three stars are a reflection on the locale and selection in the area but would not be acceptable in larger cities.

I really liked this place. I loved the decor, it was cozy and interesting. As far as the food, the star of the show was the bananas foster, it was amazing. They have a good wine list, including lots of local options. The bread they serve is pita, and it was wonderfully soft and delicious. I didn't love the hummus that came with it, though. I also wasn't crazy about the beef carpaccio, but it was at least interesting. I want to go back to try more of the stuff on the menu. We had just stopped for a "snack." The service was a little slow, especially since we were one of two tables in the place.

Just great. After all of the fried poo in st croix I found this gem. 5 stars yes but be prepared for $$$$.

Hubby and I were driving to see our son in MN, so we looked to Yelp for a lunch suggestion. We stopped here... and would not have found it if it weren't for Yelp! It was a good find. I only give it 3 stars because they did not give us much of a selection for lunch. Hubby had a steak salad, and I had a grilled fish. The food was good but not fantastic. It was worth the stop, but next time I would try another place.
(3)Don J.
The food is excellent. We had the seafood pasta and the salmon in pastry. Both came with sauces that made them worth every penny. The chef's wife is your waitress and she is a bit ditzy but friendly. Service is very SLOW!
(4)Brandon K.
A hidden gem of 5 star food and service. Small and unassuming outside, inside is quaintly decorated, but stay for the foodi
(5)Kelly S.
I really really wanted to love this place. It has a charm all its own, but takes the Blue theme a bit too far - from the sponge painted walls, to the blue table glitter, I defiantly understood what they were going for. The small place has more of a residency feel than a restaurant. It has a cozy fire place, but the décor is a bit rough around the edges and somewhat kitschy. But enough about my stick in the mud outlook on the atmosphere... The serving staff is great and professional and I could tell they take a lot of pride in their restaurant. The food is very good. The dishes I had were rich in flavor and much thought had been put into the taste and plating.

our favorite restaurant when we go to the cabin! the place changes hands on occasion, but the food stays excellent. so is the service, and the ambience is excellent as well. we have never had a bad meal there, and we have eaten there over 35 times since 2007. i strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone. try the 5 ice cream scoop sampler for dessert!!

We went to Tangled Up in Blue for a little celebration and were absolutely blown away from the first moment we walked in. The smells were alluring, the decor stunning and the service from owners Jeff and Kathleen was warm and welcoming. We had the Greek platter, crab cakes and beef Wellington. Everything was delicious and timed just right. You can't tell how perfect this restaurant is from the outside so walk inside! We will be back and again.
(5)Dan M.
Chef's choice was pretty good. Small and intimate atmosphere. 5 stars all around except the chicken was pretty dry.

My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch today before our canoe trip down the St. Croix. I have to admit I was intrigued by the interesting name-- "Tangled Up in Blue" is, of course, a Dylan tune and he's from here-- but anyway, I wasn't sure what sort of restaurant it was from the outside because it looks like the typical old place on the main road through Taylors Falls. In fact, if I hadn't gone inside I would've assumed it was some old mom-and-pop ice cream store or a coffee house. I'm glad I assumed wrong, because this is a unique place and definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. There are certainly other choices for food in the town (Frostop, anyone?) but upon reading the menu placed next the the front door, we decided to go in because their salads sounded great. Upon entering, we were treated to a very eclectic place. The dining room is small and somewhat dark, but the decor is decidedly and uniquely fun! The walls are dark blue and silver, the chairs are painted silver, and there is some very cool sculpture work on the walls and throughout the dining area. The curvy flat wear was presented at a rakish angle to the table. And oh, the tables themselves had silvery glitter dusted here and there. This place says "yes, I'm classy yet casual, and you've made a good choice," but we decided to withhold judgment until after lunch. After all, ambiance is not most of the dining experience; the food is really what counts, at least to us. The waitress, who also served as host, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food, the history of the restaurant and the surrounding town. The chef himself delivered the meals to the couple across from us and talked to them for a couple minutes. I thought that was a nice touch. I had a flat bread mozzarella/basil/artichoke/tomato pizza and the BF had a chicken salad with strawberries and poppyseed dressing. Both were delicious! Neither of us had a complicated lunch, but the food was fresh and made with care. The portion sizes were perfect; not too much or too little. They also appear to have a nice wine list although I stuck with fresh-brewed ice tea. I would've thought this place would be busier in this tourist town on a beautiful late-summer Saturday afternoon, but summer is growing old. I bet they'll be very busy next weekend (Labor Day). The only reason I didn't give Tangle Up in Blue another star is because their lunch menu is extremely limited-- they have a few salads, a couple of soup choices, a few flat bread pizzas, a few entrees, and no appetizers. Not a large selection to choose from for lunch. Their dinner menu had more on it but I was told they don't serve from the dinner menu during lunch hours. Their hours are also somewhat limited. I seem to recall their sign stating they're only open Thursday through Sunday and they only offer lunch on the weekends. So call before you go, but do go, because this is a little jewel of a place located in a jewel of an area.

Went on a Saturday night, (without reservations, Recommend reservations for future) and had an amazing dinner. The place has a great decor and the family that runs it is SO nice. The chef was fabulous, the server was so nice and fast with great recommendations. We had a good appetizer, amazing entrees and wine. Wished we had room for dessert. Can't wait to go back!

My friend and I arrived for lunch Friday, July 1st for the first time. We received attentive sevice from our male server who brought our drink orders promptly. We were able to order from the lunch and dinner menus and decided on the crab cake appetizers (very large, full of crab meat, tender and delicious) and entrees which included the seafood linguni (with homemade noodles) and jumbo shrimp with polenta. Everything was prepared with perfection. The chef, Paul Fredell, stopped by our table to see how our meal was going. What a talent to have in this community. The restaurant itself has a quirky artsy ambience. Like that there was no background music to interfere with conversation. Appetizers and lunch entrees were mostly under $10.00. The dinner entrees were mostly under $20.00. Large wine list. There was outdoor seating available but that day was a scorcher with high humidity so we stayed in the air conditioned dining room. Noticed a fireplace on one wall that would be fun for a romantic evening when weather becomes cooler. Am looking forward to returning for dinner soon with my husband.

We stopped in for dinner on a Thursday evening in mid-May. Early in the season, so we were the only people there when we arrived. My habit, when I'm in a restaurant where everything on the menu looks good and I don't have anything in particular that I'm hungry for is to ask the server to bring me whatever the chef is having the most fun with tonight. That has always served me well, and it was certainly the case here. The chef came out to talk. We'd picked a big red wine so decided to stay with red meats -- Lynn was interested in something with bison, so the chef suggested a filet mignon for me. Turns out that one of the things the chef is particularly good at (at least on the evidence of this one meal) is mixing sweet and spicy in perfectly balanced but unexpected ways. My filet (a beautiful piece of meat in and of itself) came with a semi-spicy roasted pepper and raisin risotto topped w/ toasted almonds. There were cilantro lime carrots and the sauce was honey habanero. Lynn's strip steak was possibly the tenderest, most flavorful piece of bison she's ever had (and she'll go for the bison whenever she sees it on a menu) with carrot potato gnocchi, wilted spinach /w tomatoes, sauteed zucchini & squash and a bleu cheese demi glaze. The setting was lovely -- casual and inviting, but with a quiet sophistication. We felt very much at home, and very much like honored guests. A great combination in every way.
