I used to live there and make frequent trips back there to work and visit friends. Since we left there a fabulous restaurant opened called The Cafe. It is owned by the same people that own Aunt Maudes (mentioned in your other...

Good suggestion, but I don’t think it’s open yet. The Cafe Bicko sign is still there (and I heard Chatterbox is supposed to be moving into their space). I’m surprised that nobody has suggested Cafe Maude yet....

to snag a cancellation. Anyone had any success on this front? Any tips on when to call? Thanks. And, if 112 just isn’t going to happen, any other recommendations for a new place to try? Think fun foodie celebration....

only critique is that they felt a little small for the “big” plate menu. I love the atmosphere in this place. I think Cafe Maude is the obvious place that King’s will be compared to, and I personally prefer the...

. In the nearby SW Mpls neighborhood is Cafe Maude, which is talked about quite highly on Chowhound.

Chambers Kitchen? I haven’t eaten there, but the bar is really nice. Saffron? Cafe Maude?

For tails, I love the Monte Carlo. I am always on the lookout for good tail bars myself. Other ones with good drink menus are Cafe Maude on 54 and Penn and La Belle Vie (same bar chef – less expensive at Cafe Maude. I also...

Perahps focusing too much on the word “hip,” but what comes to mind with that word are Cafe Maude, Heidi’s, Nick and Eddie, Masa, Cafe Lurcat, jp American Bistro. Probably more, but that’s the 10-second...

th and Penn and there are truely no good bars of any kind in the area. Cafe Maude actually has a nice bar but is the antithesis of a dive bar. Great live music on the weekends though!

, to say the least (it’s a tiny little place with a buffet.) I would recommend that you try either Amy Ruth’s or one of the Spoonbread Sisters (Miss Mamie’s or Miss Maude's.) All offer a combination of good...

Howdy, In Ames: the Cafe and Aunt Maude's are buying lots of local meat and produce. The Cafe, Aunt Maude's sister restau bakes their own organic bread and both wine lists are well crafted. Also, in Ames, Stomping Grounds

. The soup was solid, but I’ve been experiencing some great cream soups lately (Gandhi Mahal and Cafe Bonxai), so this paled by comparison. The main course was a sashimi size portion of the Halibut accompanied by a mussel....
