Prelude

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Seafood and Steakhouse at the Galleria

Prelude sits inside The Westin Edina Galleria, one of the Twin Cities' most consistently well-regarded hotel properties, positioned directly alongside the upscale Galleria shopping center in Edina, Minnesota. The restaurant draws both hotel guests and local diners looking for a reliable destination that covers the full arc of the day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — with cocktails and a wine program serious enough to earn Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence for 2025.

A Wine List Worth Noting

That Wine Spectator recognition is not incidental. It signals a curated cellar with genuine range and depth, the kind of list that rewards guests who want to explore beyond the obvious. For a steakhouse and seafood setting, a thoughtfully assembled wine program is the natural complement — and Prelude delivers on that promise, pairing well-sourced bottles with the protein-forward cooking that defines the menu's character.

The Setting and the Experience

The Westin Edina Galleria carries a guest rating of 4.6 out of 5 across hundreds of reviews, with dining consistently scoring near the top of the property's strengths. Guests have noted the attentiveness of the staff and the ease of the location — steps from the Galleria, with the kind of polished comfort expected from the Westin brand. The atmosphere suits a business dinner as naturally as a relaxed weekend meal.

For those who want to extend the experience beyond the table, Prelude also offers meal kits — a practical extension of the kitchen's approach that brings the flavors home.

Whether the draw is a well-marbled cut, fresh seafood, or simply a glass chosen from a Wine Spectator-recognized list, Prelude offers a grounded, capable dining room in one of Edina's most convenient addresses.
