With glittering chandeliers visible from France Avenue through the transparent, multi-level windows, this luxe, 60,000-square-foot building features three levels of RH Interiors, Modern, and Outdoor collections from internationally renowned designers.

Set on two acres, the Gallery was developed to be a contemporary structure filled with fresh air and light and manifests more as an experience than exclusively as a place to purchase furniture. The Rooftop Restaurant offers an ingredient-focused menu and is situated in a year-round garden under a lofty atrium with retractable glass walls. The Wine & Barista Bar serves craft espresso, freshly baked pastries, and artisanal wines to enjoy, and level two of The Gallery features the RH Interior Design Firm & Altier.

Perfect for gatherings, the Edina restaurant also features a reservable event space in the basement, ideal for private parties, larger groups, and receptions.

Of course, Pajarito’s innovative approach isn’t limited to the food. The cocktail menu remains as fabulous as ever, featuring signature drinks like the habanero cilantro margarita and the pineapple express margarita, made with grilled pineapple and lime. Not into margaritas? No problem—there’s a curated selection of craft cocktails to suit any taste.
