Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Dining Out
Joe Jonas ate at Diane's Place in Northeast Minneapolis on Monday, November 2, before the Jonas Brothers concert at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul. A representative for the restaurant confirmed the visit, which marks his return after an October 2025 stop.
Why it matters
Celebrity visits to the restaurant highlight the demand for reservations at a small Minneapolis dining room that has drawn national attention. For local diners, it underscores how difficult it can be to book a table weeks in advance.
Diane Moua, the owner and chef, is a six-time James Beard Award nominee and was a semifinalist for Best Chef: Midwest in 2026 after being a finalist in 2025. The October 2025 visit lasted about three hours on the outdoor patio, and the restaurant expanded in summer 2026 to seat more guests.

Industry Dynamics
The restaurant's visibility builds on owner and chef Diane Moua's repeated James Beard Best Chef: Midwest recognition, which has made the Northeast Minneapolis dining room a regional destination. Celebrity attention of this kind often adds to demand that already forces many diners to book weeks ahead.
Diners planning a visit should expect to book dinner reservations well in advance, since demand has grown after the restaurant's expansion. Brunch service offers another option for those seeking a table on a shorter timeline.
The takeaway
Reservations at popular Minneapolis restaurants often fill weeks ahead, so planning early is the most reliable way to secure a table. Checking whether a restaurant offers brunch or patio seating can also widen your options.
