MSP - Ramos Gin Fizz?

Went to Bradstreet tonight and my Ramos Gin Fizz was great. I thought it a bit tart, but it was still fantastic and merely a result of a different mixologist than I'm used to making it!

Thanks for the recommendations - I will definitely be back to that bar, it was right up my alley.

MSP Restaurant Week Fall 2009

Went to Cosmos for dinner. I was most excited by what their menu offered during RW. Decided on the baby arugula, filet of steak, and panna cotta. The arugula was given a lovely blue cheese and had an amaaaazing balsamic reduction. I was weary of ordering steak - I'm used to RW in Boston where there are so many people some restaurants are pushing through that all the steaks are par cooked and then warmed again so they're medium/well when they're done - but, my steak was perfectly prepared and delicious. Panna cotta was yummy and served with a candied sage leaf! I love it when chefs get creative with sage -- i knew I loved it fried, but candied was neat too. The mocha dessert was the table hit - has some salt in it and brought out the sweet so nicely. Another of my set had a tuna, which was seared and served beautifully and I didn't even get a taste!

Service was fantastic, friendly. We were allowed to dine at our own pace and not rushed through our meal. Cocktails were alright but if you're searching for a mixology lesson, go downstairs. Wine list is admirable and the waitstaff was quite well versed in the offerings.

Overall, one of the best dining experiences I've had in the last couple years. Definitely recommend trying it out.
