I've enjoyed this restaurant over the years - recently have not gone there as often as the prices have risen and my "favorite" dishes have become less predictable.

Fun atmosphere. especially if you like MAC students.

If you can wash off the slime of upper midwestern trendiness after you've left, this is a completely awesome coffee shop with some of the best food in the twin cities.
