Guidebook for Minneapolis
Food Scene
This is our favorite restaurant in the city! It's a very small restaurant so be sure to leave some time to have a couple drinks at the bar before your table is ready or make a reservation ahead of time. It's great American food! Linger in the area to check out the Linden Hills neighborhood or go for a walk around Lake Harriett (3 miles around) before/after. Great date night or special event setting!

this is a super fun place to go with a group of people. the meals are all from the "hot zones" around the globe - so part asian inspiration and mexican. It sounds weird but it is really excellent. We would recommend getting the mojitos if you like to drink, and getting an order of coconut pinneapple shrimp curry! So spectacular! This is a popular place to do some shopping also, so you might want to get to Uptown a bit earlier than your reservation if you want to shop.
