In Short – This banquet room is perched 50 floors above the city in the IDS Center (Minneapolis' tallest building). A favorite for festive occasions, its 11-foot-high floor-to-ceiling windows provide a cinematic 360-degree view of a sprawling cityscape. Windows on Minnesota is operated by the adjoining Marquette Hotel--making it a popular spot for weddings, meetings and parties. The hotel hosts a Sunday brunch here from 10am to 2pm.

Do Not Host an Event Here

by TwinCities Res at Citysearch

Unfortunately the rating system will not allow me to give 0 Stars...so I have to give 1 which is too many!

We recently had an event at Windows on Minnesota, and I have no problem telling anyone and everyone I know "never hold an event at Windows on Minnesota".

It came down to a war of words with the coordinator and director for services they did not provide. Even though certain items were stated in our contract, they failed to ever assume any responsibility and charged us even more money!!! They could not handle more than one event at a time, even though they are slated to hold up to 4 separate events. We ran out of food...becuase the kitchen was "backed up". We did not receive all of the food we paid for to the tune of $4,000. Guests were confused because staff was not present to direct them, even though they were supposed to be. We even had guests from the adjacent wedding showing up at our event.

I, nor anyone I know, will never hold an event at Windows on Minnesota. EVER

The view was nice!!!!!

Happy Birthday brunch

by jackiolson at Citysearch

Took my children and grandchild to this Sunday brunch in July...the food was much better than we expected, the view was one of a kind, and the service was most gracious. It was a celebration of my sons birthday, I didn''t have a cake and asked our waitress if they had anytihing that would do under the circumstances. She said they didn't have anything regularly, but she would see to it that we had something...only to come out with the most delicious lemon mini cake, that was fabulous. Live piano music topped off the occasion. Plan to take my friends there this month to celebrate their birthdays. We go out to dinner alot as a family and we're fussy diners but we deffinately would go back. Basically loved it overall! Elegant buffet dining. Considering the view, a special treat for a special occassion.

  • Pros: parking was good, convienient considing the location
