Romantic bistro - outstanding food

by FrancXavier

I have eaten here many times in the past few years and can truly say each meal has been wonderful, romantic and memorable. Two of these meals were incredibly outstanding and both were fish creations. I had Arctic Char recently with a mustard reduction sauce - out of this world, and another with lemon caper sauce was one of the best meals I have ever had in my life. Want a place that is romantic and feels like a romantic bistro in a European hamlet? Well - this is it! A gem with a great central location that borders St. Paul and Mpls. Go at five and still have time to get to the theatre or symphony. Great wine selection too. And the creme caramel is outstanding. The only thing I really miss is seeing the neighborhood cat who used to visit several times an evening several years back... The owners have always been very gracious whenever I've eaten there.

• Pros: romantic atmosphere; gourmet food; family owned and run
• Cons: must have a reservation in the evening

Great lunch!

by DavidBrandt

The restaurant was a bit difficult to find (thank you GPS) and that probably explains why it was not necessary to have a reservation. The clientele was professional-looking - a mix of people in suits like myself or casual - like they made their money already :) The wine list was very decent and the lunch was delicious.

Great Owners-I've actually met them

by MNfoodlover

I can't believe someone would write a critcal opinion of the owners of a restaurant to which they have not been! I had to write to say I have eaten here several times and have not only found the food delicious but the owners friendly and helpful. I recommend this restaurant to anyone. It is quite small and cosy so if you aren't into that then maybe it won't work for you, but we love it.

• Pros: Creative food preparation
• Cons: small and somewhat expensive
