“ We stayed at the Graduate Hotel for 9 nights while my brother was in the ICU at the University of Minnesota. The staff at the restaurant were so amazing, so kind, and so catering. We would come in near kitchen-close, and the girls working would sneak in our orders, and our food was always amazing. All of the workers had such great personalities, and helped bring light to some dark days. We so appreciate the kindness from the staff at The Beacon. ”
“ I've been coming here quite regularly for breakfast and am quite impressed with the quality of their service. Ella always greets and serves her customers with a smile which is a great way to start off your day! ”
“ Service is second to none. Bartender for Super Bowl made excellent drinks. Everyone who works there was very nice. ”
“ I stopped by and ordered breakfast to go. I recommend the steel cut oatmeal. It was a hearty serving of oatmeal served with almond slices, brown sugar, dried fruit, and milk. I added an orange juice. A bit pricey at 13 for both, however the Gold Honors food credit offset it. ”
“ Stopped in to kill time while my father was at the nearby hospital. Saw the porkbelly on the small plate menu and asked bartender what the portion size was. Big apparently, and I wasn't very hungry and hesitated to order so he offered a half portion. It was amazing and think it is so awesome they were willing to do that. If I'm around here again I am definitely stopping by the Beacon! ”
“ We stayed at the Graduate hotel 2 nights over UMN Homecoming weekend (so, busy) and ate here both nights, mainly because of convenience, and we were tired. It exceeded expectations both times! The smash burger was excellent! The chili was delish! Wedge salad was yummy. The servers and manager were friendly and attentive. The evening after the game was busy but they did a great job managing the crowd. We booked a reservation about an hour before, and avoided a 30 min wait. Would definitely recommend if in the area and/or staying at the hotel. They also have fun games to play outside the restaurant, ie air hockey etc. ”
“ My partner and I ate at the beacon for dinner a few days ago and had such a good experience. Our server campbell was and she was top notch such a delight! Very knowledgeable with the cocktails and food. She recommended the wings, tacos and salmon which were FANTASTIC. I had a great conversation with her about the campus and the hotel and she knew all the spots to go. So helpful. Will be coming back because of her! ”
“ The omelet was fluffy and delicious. Hsshbrowns were good. Toast is served dry, nothing offered for toast. Eggs Benedict was delicious. Service was very good. Atmosphere was nice and relaxing. Coffee with Baileys and others breakfast cocktails offered here. ”
