I've visited Azia many times over the past several years, and have always found it to be, well... sort of magical. But it wasn't until my last visit that I was so prompted to write it a love letter. I don't know what they're doing lately, (and I must admit that about six months to a year ago I had a not-so-great experience.) But wow! If she ever left, she certainly is back!
The food is as good or better than I'd ever remembered, and the drinks (especially the "007") were exquisite. But this time, I noticed this serene mystique in everything that's pretty unique to this restaurant. It's there in just about everything... the staff, the treatment, the lights, the booze... like she's hit some stride in her golden years or something. I don't know.
Azia has become (or maybe she always was) well... simply magical.

This place is one of the greatest gems in Minneapolis. Totally funked out groovy studio. These are two of the best massage therapists that I have ever been too. Definitely get the House Massage, its a mixture of asian bodywork that will blow your mind! I guess the offer all sorts of other things as well as the massage. Check them out!

All of their dishes are sooo good. I would recommend their french fries smothered in all kinds of toppings, and any of their desserts are amazing. When you walk in it feels as though you are in a different world. The atmosphere is fun and relaxing.

Possibly the "coolest" place in town, but they treat you like a queen, and so I've never felt intimidated - just cool!
The food is incredible - it changes constantly. Don't leave without checking out the bathrooms downstairs, though!

I love Salon Stella!! It isn't some yuppie uptown or suburban salon. It's very down to earth and relaxed. I get my hair done by Moe, who is AWESOME! She's really good at listening to what I want, even when I'm not sure. She's super cool and fun to talk to. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I feel really lucky to have found this place!
Pros: Very welcoming, beer/wine, laidback

This place is great! It's like an up north bar in the heart of Minneapolis. Any of the burgers and fries will satisfy your craving for good greasy food, without a ton of grease. It's nothing fancy, but bring your kids, get a burger and fries and try to make a trip down to the bathroom too. It's in the basement...and you don't want to try to make it there if you've had a few too many! Not your typical bar.

I was online searching for new restaurants to go to and Hell's Kitchen came up here. It was seriously amazing. I've seen a few bad reviews about service so I was a little leary about that, but I honestly dont know what any of those people were talking about. Our server was smiley and upbeat, and happily answered all of our annoying questions! We made reservations for a Friday night (which was a great idea because they were pretty busy), our food came out in 15 minutes piping hot which was delivered by one of their food runners who greeted us with a big smile and made sure we had everything that we needed. Food was more than we anticipated, service was great, atmosphere was unique and fun, prices were definitely reasonable. I will definitely be back, and I would highly recommend it.
Pros: pretty much everything
Cons: they spoiled me

Our experience at Oceanaire was fantastic. The reservationist was kind and accomidating over the phone. When it came to ordering, our waiter, Kevin, was incredibly helpful and took the time to explain the menu and made fabulous recommendations. In our case, we were celebrating a special event and they made sure we were being well taken care of. Thanks for a great meal and a great night!

What a great time! Distinguished decor, remarkable food with enormous portions, extensive wine list, friendly, intelligent staff, attractive, well to do guest. This is what I call a perfect place for dinner or just drinks and appetizers. Great people watching as well. Manny's may have a new location but I would follow where ever they went!!
Pros: Everything is well done
Cons: Waiting for a table

Very good. I have been there twice within the last year - I purchased two bridesmaids dresses for my own wedding earlier in the spring and then was there again recently with my sister. We purchased her wedding gown there as well and we both have just truly enjoyed the ease of service, the help of the staff in askign for colors and styles and just being taken care of. I would recommend Rush's in a heartbeat to any one of my friends.
