Restaurants

What beers go well with this cheese? It’s really more of a question of which beers don’t work.

Featured restaurants.

A savvy mix of comfort and urbanity. Recommended dishes: Deviled eggs, roast chicken, steam-fried salmon, pork ribs, catfish. The excellent house-made ice creams and the whimsical floating islands, delicate poached meringues wafting in a vanilla sauce and topped with pecans. Also available, buy-by-the-piece options, which allow diners to tailor choices based upon their appetite. Wine list: Wide, intriguing collection; some especially good values.

Mango Thai Cuisine
posted by mweber on Mar. 9, '10 at 7:57 PM

. . . I thought another little restaurant on Selby Avenue, between Snelling and Fairview, had the best Thai food. It was quite good back in the day (despite its horrible service). But then the quality of the food dropped, too . . . . . . So my favorite Thai [...]

Cafe Latte
posted by mweber on Mar. 9, '10 at 7:04 PM

Cafe Latte is my favorite restaurant. I feel great after eating Latte's food. Could it be the quality? No one goes to Latte for some chef's amazing creation. Latte offers comfort food of the highest order. Great, fresh sandwiches; delicious soups and chili; salads; pizza; wine; beer; coffee. And, of course, [...]

Tiger Sushi - Mall of America
posted by kiwee87 on Mar. 9, '10 at 6:16 PM

This is not the place to go for sushi. Not even if you had to get sushi at the mall. The food isn't anything more than 'alright' and the service is absolutely horrid. My friend had the unfortunate experience of having to return her order because she saw the chef [...]

This space at 26th and Hennepin fits what people like about Uptown: flashy, fun ambiance, and an enjoyable eating experience. But if all of this comes at the expense of delivering good food value, then you can say goodbye to repeat customers. While people love the eating out experience, nothing [...]

Kieran's Irish Pub
posted by evb on Mar. 9, '10 at 8:08 AM

It's a testament to the strength of this great Irish bar that it not only remained tremendously successful in its original, off the beaten path location (where it is virtually the only establishment for blocks), but that it was the bar that launched Kieran Folliard's growing empire. That all said, I'm [...]

patio dining in the twin cities
posted by jessmsp in restaurant

hey all, i'm doing a little research for a school project and just want to get your thoughts on patio dining in the twin cities... during the "warm" season are you more likely to visit a restaurant that has patio dining than one that doesn't? [...]

Taj Indian Grill
posted by Tofupuppy in restaurant

I ventured out on a multiple bus journey to expand my Minneapolis horizons and open my senses to the wonderland that is Saint Anthony. The kaleidoscope of tantalizing flavors enveloped me from the moment I stepped off the 25 bus...the exotic options of Cold Stone Creamery, Smash Burger, and every bit as exciting, Taj Indian Grill.

First Wok - west of Lake Calhoun
posted by trixie_curls in restaurant

I'm surprised this little unassuming gem is not listed on Your Chinese restaurants list. The service is excellent and the piping hot, fresh, delicious and artfully presented (standard) Chinese food satisfies every time we eat there. Sorry I can't recommend the sister restaurant on 494; it's just not the same. [...]

Smashburger
posted by docsc1 in restaurant

Hand made patties of fresh beef, with all kinds of toppings to choose from, like mushrooms, onions, bacon, assorted cheeses. Fries are nothing to rave about. No atmosphere, but very kid friendly. I would take out. Now that the weather is cool, the patio is not an option. [...]
