In Short
Exposed brick, stamped-tin ceiling and dark wood booths combine with candlelight and mirrors to create a beguiling sense of bistro spirit and romance at this small independent eatery. A menu that meets all budgets mixes upscale dining options with daringly delicious spins on bar food. A popular bacon and egg sandwich gets swiped with hot harissa, while the rib eye are grilled to juicy perfection. Finish with the tres leches cake, a moist confection served in a rich puddle of cream.

I called this restaurant two months ahead of time (the maximum time allowed) and asked to reserve a table for my college graduation dinner (My parents and and girlfriend's family were meeting for the first time). The restaurant gladly accepted my reservation. One week before graduation I called the restaurant to confirm my reservation, because they never called to confirm. Not only did they not have my reservation, but they refused to believe that it was their fault. "Well, for an order that size it would have been one of our managers in charge and I don't think we would have made that mistake." Really? They acted as though I was trying to sneak into a restaurant that I had reserved 2 months ahead of time. I understand that they are full now, but when a restaurant makes a mistake that messes up the client's graduation dinner they should at least apologize profusely and try to work something out. I am extremely upset and now have to scramble to find another restaurant that can serve 11 people in downtown Minneapolis on a Saturday evening. Honestly the food is probably good, but I wouldn't know, I only know that they have snooty management.

The May outing of our dinner-of-the-month group of friends went down as everyone's all time favorite. Everyone kept on insisting that everyone else try their dishes, because everyone was so impressed with the flavors, and it was hard to decided which dish was the best regardless of price level. Whether it was the $9 cheeseburger or the $28 steak, everything was executed perfectly and very creatively. Even the french fries were incredible. LIttle surprises everywhere; olives served before the meal tasted of anise, while the bread had a hint of popcorn (not sure how that would be done, but it was very good). The Tagliatelle with Foie Gras Meatballs deserves all the raves it gets in other reviews. The Gnocchi are more perfect than at just about any Italian restaurant in the Twin Cities. Desserts were excellent too (and we usually don't bother with desserts, but assumed the excellence would continue and we were right). The wine list included some good selections by the glass but may have been a bit pricier than elsewhere, although you get a nice healthy pour. Everyone in our party said they want to come back, because there were more items on the menu that we didn't get to try that sounded just as wonderful.

I found this place using City Search and I trusted all of the great reviews. I was not let down. We did not make reservations which was a mistake. We still didn't have to wait too long (15 mins), but I still recommend reservations. Our waitress was pretty awesome. She asked if we had questions about the menu and explained some of the dishes to us. She paired us with good wine for our dishes and came by several times to make sure we were ok. I ordered and appetizer, a side and an entree and each was a unique creative dish. The kale w/ pancetta & ricotta salata was phenomenal, as was my appetizer the prosciutto, grapefruit and mint salad. I would recommend this place for a date or even casual dining. There is something for a variety of price ranges. I'd go back for just appetizers and drinks as they have a nice wine menu.
