I had pleasant dining experiences at: D'Amico Cuccina, in Butler Square (Italian) Goodfellow's, in The Conservatory (Nouvelle American) Azur, in Gaviidae (?sp) Common (Mediterranian) Cafe Un Deux Trois (can't find address) (French Bistro) Out of the above, I enjoyed Azur the most.

Make reservations at least 3 days in advance. If that's not possible, go to D'Amico Cucina (sp?) in Minneapolis. For American/Ecclectic, go for the Dakota Bar and Grill in St. Paul; get the nightly game feature. (I had a wonderful rabbit with vanilla there once.) --Jack Stecher [email removed]

Also, if you're willing to drive about 60 miles, my favorite restaurant in that area is The Harbor View in Lake Peppin, Wisconsin, which I'd classify as "Nouvelle American". No reservations, no credit cards, typically a long wait on Friday and Saturday nights, a better wine list than nearly every restaurant in the cities (and fairly priced as well!), closed October through March.
