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

We've always enjoyed Stella's. We prefer to sit in the bar area. We are both big fish/seafood fans & our meals are always delicious. I think our favorite experience is when we came in on a Saturday for lunch. They had a few food & drink specials, plus the place wasn't super busy. I have yet to experience the rooftop bar but heard it's a good view.
Pros: menu choices, choices of where to sit

Went there for my birthday with my wife and another couple. We booked early so we could catch the PHilharmonic afterward. Service was polite and prompt. Our server was very knowledgable about the food and the wine and one of the chefs Warren, I think his name was, came and asked about our meal and we asked for suggestions for dessert and wine and he was spot on with his suggestions. We will definaitely celebrate here again. We also had a pleasant time and our food was timely enough for us to get to our other appointment with time to spare. A great start to a great evening, definitely worth the price.

We were actually on our way to a nearby sandwich shop when we decided to give Babalu a try. We weren't aware that they had a lunch, much less a lunch buffet. As it was nearing 2pm, they were getting ready to tear the buffet down (understandably so!), but the executive chef offered to make some more of the dishes on the buffet that were gone.
The food had to be some of the most flavorful that we've had in Minnesota. The chef came out again to check on us, and even offered to explain some of his dishes that we were enjoying. He apologized again that the food was not out immediately when we arrived and then suggested we order a dessert on him. We walked out with a bill under $25 between the two of us.
What we took from this was that Babalu has some amazing food, prepared by an executive chef who really cares that his customers are happy and enjoying his food. We'll most certainly be back...and looking forward to Dinner next time!
Pros: Flavorful food, chef interaction, atmosphere

I have been to Chiang Mai Thai 3 times now with 3 different groups of people and I have enjoyed every experience. The fresh spring rolls are great and the Tom Yum soup is extremely flavorful. Be carefule when they ask you how spicy you want your dish, I love spicy food and a 2 is about my limit. Enjoy!
Pros: service, taste, price

if you sit at a table for more than 3 hours and there are only 2 of you and you are asked to move to the bar and offered a free round of drinks i dont think that is rude. Have you ever worked in a restaurant? there are other people that want to have dinner just like you! Servers make there minimum wage plus tips to live. Please show some respect to the people who give you service. The place is awesome. Very FUN! Staff is very friendly and fun. So remember dont be a dick and you will get some respect back!
Pros: service, hot staff
Cons: nothing

I've been eating here since it was still located on Nicollet Mall (until Target tore it down.) People who just order noodles and rice, as noted in other reviews, might be disappointed.
If you don't play it "safe" you will be rewarded: (I always order the shrimp where available, they are huge, plump, and tender) 1. Holy Basil Sauce with beef, ask for no mushroom, just onion, the mushrooms wash out the flavor. Very hot and one of the best meals I've ever had. Beef is tender and semi shredded. 2. Roasted Hot Pepper Sauce with cashews, peanuts, and shrimp. Sweet and hot, the shrimp are great. 3. Thai-Style Sweet and Sour with batter-fried shrimp. A smokey sweet sauce, probably the best sweet and sour I've ever had. 4. Tom Yum - clear tangy soup with shrimp, the best Tom Yum in town. Very spicy, very crisp and clean flavor. Most Thai restaurants don't push the flavors enough when making a Tom Yum, they make it weak for Minnesota tastes. 5. The curries are great, can't remember which i had last time but very solid.
I prefer to eat in the bar area, though dining room is a tad more formal. Make reservations normally, it gets busy. Trust me on those dishes, I don't think you will be disappointed.
Pros: If you know what to order, best Thai in Minneapolis
Cons: A little more expensive then it used to be, but after I'm done eating, I have no regrets.

There just aren't enough stars. Five stars are not enough. I would give Temple six stars after my last dinner there. I was there for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with my beloved. We are both vegetarian an had planned to split the Singapore noodle--an amazing dish with five spice. But it had been recently removed from the menu, much to our dismay. The hot and spicy eggplant had been too hot and spicy for us the last time, so we didn't know what to do. The chef made us a new creation with noodles and five spice and a variety of vegetables. It was better than anything I've ever had before anywhere. He is truly talented.
As usual, we ordered the squash dumplings, edamame, tamago, and seaweed salad. Everything was delicious, as always. These are my favorite dishes at Temple. The dumplings are more flavorful than any I have ever tasted before. The edamame shells just fall off the bean. The tamago is smoother and more perfectly layered than any I've ever had. The wine list is great too.
I recommend this restaurant for anyone who is looking for a relaxing evening of sensational flavors, great service, and romantic ambiance.
Pros: Talented chef, flavorful food, romantic ambiance
