I was in town covering the RNC, I am based out of New York, a colleague from Minneapolis suggested\r
Biella, I will admit I am a bit of a food snob so I was a bit skeptical of some suburban Minnesota restaurant.\r
Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised to find such an eclectic menu & Wine List with a great atmosphere.\r
I started with the Short Ribs with Blue Berry Demi Glace, they were rich but perfectly cooked and the sauce was outstanding, My colleague had the Scallops with Thai curry (nothing Italian about that) and they to were fantastic. From there we shared an artisan cheese platter which was very nice and well thought out.\r
For entrees I had the Arctic Char which was nicely cooked served with fingerling potato's, spinach and a really amazing Asian mustard sauce...this was a five star dish!!! My colleague had a simple Penne Pasta Bolognese but raved about it....The service was great just enough without going overboard, This place reminds me of some of the great neighborhood places in Manhattan.., I have a new perspective on the Minnesota Dining scene...\r
Pros: Great Dining Experience
Cons: Kind of far from the downtown area (20 min)
