Dining In Chaska.
I'm going to be honest here in regard to decent restaurants in Chaska. The pickings are slim. Real slim. Chaska My Love has good authentic Mexican street food. The problem with CML is they are not consistently open. That's hard to deal with if you are going for lunch. Call ahead. Tommy's Malt Shop is fine if you want a malt. If you think you are going to get a great burger- you are not. They are small and over-cooked. Cuzzy's Brickhouse is a Champp's knock-off-it's okay. Lola's in Waconia is over-priced for so-so food. It's a fun place in the summer and in a pinch it's okay. Terra Waconia is good and local-wine list is nice as well. Also in Waconia is Mocha Monkey-nice soups, sandwiches and gelato. Na's Thai Cafe in Chanhassen is really good. If you want a good burger or good bar food I would go to Floyd's or the Vic House Bar and Grill in Victoria. So as far as Chaska goes there isn't much-maybe with the two new restaurants going in downtown it will perk up. Right now? Not so much.
Romantic seafood restaurant?
The new Bluepoint in Bloomington is very nice. It's not overly noisy, it has some modern touches but felt welcoming despite being in a large building on 494. I have been there twice in the past few weeks and the food was very good.
MSP: Poutine
Haute Dish. We enjoyed it last week. It isn't the classic poutine but very tasty.
MSP-Mi Casa in Chaska
the food is very good at Mi Casa-there isn't a dish that we haven not liked!
However, the service is at times painfully slow-one person cannot be a host, waiter and bar tender! I hope this place works-it's wonderful to have in the western suburbs!
Headed to Peoria/Scottsdale
We are loading up the family and headed to Peoria/Scottsdale next week for Spring Break.
Our 2 daughters are game for anything -they are 12 and 7 so we don't need to be seated next to the family with high chairs and crayons flying...
are there some places around the area that won't break the bank but won't lead me to a TGI Friday's!?!
A good combo of places would be great-keep in mind momma needs a cocktail in the evening-it is Spring Break after all!
Fresh Tortillas and Queso [MSP]
El toro in Shakopee-great queso fundido and tortillas. Yummy.
dinkytown dining with kids [MSP]
thanks! pagoda might be the ticket...we are going to head to Midtown Global market-eating our way downtown! Big day out over MEA!
dinkytown dining with kids [MSP]
We are headed to dinkytown tomorrow night for a game and want to take the kids somewhere fun and tasty. Any suggestions. You can leave out the Big 10 as the spouse doesn't care for their food. It's been years since I've been down there to eat!
Dakota Club MSP
I was there less then a month ago and my dinner was outstanding. I ordered the halibut and my spouse ordered the bison. The chef does most of his cooking with local ingredients and I'm always interested in that as a dining option.
The night we were the their we didn't watch the show but we could listen in the dining room-the band was playing great Cuban/Latin music and they were pretty good!
You don't like that?!
water chestnuts, peaches and breakfast sausage. Must be a texture issue.
