My new favorite place, great, low-lit atmosphere and mouthwatering food--Hummus flatbread is AWESOME! The live music was PERFECT for this venue, both the Fri and Sat nights I've been there. Read more.
I'm an Eggs Benedict connoisseur and this place nails 'em. Eggs perfectly cooked and an excellent hollandaise.
Get the shrimp or halibut encocado. The creamy, mellow, balanced coconut sauce would be worth buying were it bottled. Read more.
Both the Nam Tok and Tom Yum are excellent. This food delivers flavor like a sock in the face. Read more.

In all my years of going to Mexico, eating in Mexico, eating Mexican here in Minneapolis & St. Paul, I think I just had the BEST Mexican dinner I have ever had! So good I also tipped the cook! Simple
Get the Smoked Beef Long Rib. It's huge. Succulent meat and a sweet (but spicy) Tabasco-molasses BBQ sauce. It's serves two people, so the $32 price is a great deal.
In addition to the great food, the beer menu is great! Includes locals such as Surly, Lift Bridge, & Flat Earth both on tap and in the Cask!
Look at the menu and figure out your order before you sit down! Will make Al's staff (and other diners) very happy!
One of the rare places that's as pleasant for a cup of coffee in the daytime as it is for a glass of wine in the evening. Also, great small plates and desserts.
Great curry chicken croissant sandwich. If u come for breakfast on the weekend, expect to wait in line. Counter ordering only.
Common Roots is a great neighborhood place that supports local farmers. Check out the garden in the back!
Fantastic powdered chai. Get the orgasmic chai (regular chai with a shot of toasted mashmallow)!
Biscuits & Gravy may or may not show up on the menu, but it's awesome and they'll make it for you!
One of the best patios in the city. The martinis here are perfect and classically done. Not to mention the generally endless liquor selection. They don't have ginger beer though.
Don't miss the Macho Camacho Margarita, which offers a beautiful blend of blood-orange syrup and twice-distilled 100-proof 1800 Black Label Select Silver tequila, a splash of cava, and an ancho-chile
