The Cabana Club
Our verdict
The Cabana Club is worth choosing for dine-in, especially if the plan involves cocktails, a group table, and river or skyline views in St. Anthony Main. At about $35 per person, it makes more sense as a scenic, drinks-forward meal than as takeout; the value is in the room, the view, and the flexible global-fusion menu.

The Cabana Club in Minneapolis is best described from the basics: a casual, $35-per-person global fusion restaurant with a menu that can cover several different appetites at one table. That framing matters because the restaurant’s strongest identity is not built around one narrow specialty, but around the ease of ordering across several different styles while keeping the meal relaxed.
The food reads global fusion without pushing diners into a single culinary lane. Order it as a flexible table if the group has mixed appetites. Sea bass crudo, paella arancini, duck confit bánh mì, wild mushroom fettuccine, and a smash burger give the table enough directions to make this work for both curious eaters and someone who just wants a casual meal. The range is the point: a diner can lean toward seafood, pasta, sandwich, or burger without making the rest of the table follow the same path. For a group meal, that can reduce the usual friction of choosing between a more adventurous restaurant and a safer, more familiar one.
Consider casual global fusion in Minneapolis
Strongest case for choosing it is the combination of a casual setting, a moderate $35-per-person price point, and a menu that moves across global influences. That makes The Cabana Club easier to recommend for diners who want variety without choosing a single-cuisine restaurant. It is especially useful when the priority is not a formal tasting-menu-style commitment, but a meal that gives people room to order according to mood.
Dress code is casual, so the venue is better framed as a relaxed meal than a formal dining commitment. That does not make it less intentional; it simply means the restaurant fits better into the category of approachable Minneapolis dining, where the draw is flexibility, comfort, and a menu with enough range to keep the table engaged.
Takeout is not a reason to choose this place
Safer way to evaluate the restaurant is by its confirmed cuisine, price point, casual dress code, and signature dishes. In other words, do not build the decision around unconfirmed conveniences or service details. The clearer reasons to consider it are already in the available information: casual global fusion, a roughly $35-per-person spend, and dishes that span seafood, pasta, sandwich, and burger territory.
For explorers, the appeal is that the menu moves across several culinary references without requiring the table to commit to one cuisine. That can be a strength for groups with different tastes, especially when some diners want seafood or pasta while others want a familiar burger. It can also be a drawback if the group wants a tightly focused regional restaurant. The Cabana Club is better understood as a casual Minneapolis global fusion option than as a purist destination for any single tradition. That distinction is important: the restaurant’s usefulness comes from breadth and adaptability, not from presenting itself as the definitive version of one culinary category.
Who should choose it
Choose The Cabana Club if you want a casual Minneapolis meal built around global fusion dishes at about $35 per person. It is a useful fit for diners who like menus with multiple directions: duck confit bánh mì, sea bass crudo, paella arancini, wild mushroom fettuccine, and a smash burger all point to a flexible, mixed-influence approach. It is also a practical choice when the table includes both curious diners and people who prefer something familiar, because the menu gives each side a way in.
