Chino Latino is a great restaurant located in Uptown. It features foods from the hot zones or areas around the equator, which means the menu is mainly comprised of food from the Caribbean and South Asia.
They have a large menu intended to be served family style. They offer little dishes to share as well as big dishes to share. My favorite little dish is the totopos. Totopos are fancy nachos that taste oh so good! I also like the Montego Bay Jerked Chicken, but it is a bit to spicey for my Scandinavian tongue!
About a month ago I hosted my husband's twent-fifth birthday at Chino. We orderded Fidel's Capitalist Pig Roast. It was amazing. The Pig Roast is for groups of ten or more and must be ordered at least 72 hours in advance. It was so good! The pig was carved in front of the table and served with rice, black beans and plantains. They also had a delicious mango sauce to go with the pig.
Chino Latino has valet parking available or you can try and find a spot on the street (good luck!) or park at Calhoun Commons.
TWO BIG Thumbs up to Chino!

Juut's Advanced Training Salon is in Roseville, near Rosedale Mall. Sylists here have completed their training at the Aveda School, but are doing advanced training so that they can work in Aveda's Juut Salon/Spas.
I almost always recieve great service. Sometimes I have had to wait longer than necessary, but I have had that happen at many salons.
Since this salon is an advanced training center, the prices are about thirty to fifty percent less than that of a Juut Salon.
Even if I have had to wait, I still have recieved great haircuts.

I've been going to see Dr. Larry Schroeder for over twenty years. He has a great dental practice. I always walk away feeling good, not in pain! So much so that I'd prefer going to the dentist over a regular doctor any day!
Schroeder Dental has a wonderful staff that always makes you feel right at home. They are located in Normandale Plaza on West 98th Street and Normandale Boulevard in Bloomington. The office is always clean and you'll always get a toothbrush and dental floss!
This is a great practice to go to if you have young kids. The staff is great with kids and they do their best to make being at the dentist fun. I feel I can say this as a former kid.

Cafe Lucrat is located in Loring Park, Minneapolis. The food there is heavenly. The first time I went, I was disappointed by the small menu, but realized why when i got my food. The food is so good, they can't serve a hundred things and all make them that good.
I had Cornish Game Hen when I was there. It ws something new for me and it was a smart decision!
The atmosphere at Cafe Lucrat is modern and sophisticated. I love how they've designed the restaurant. I also remember recieving excellent service.
Also, if you are looking for a night at the bars, don't miss Bar Lucrat right next door.

A few weeks ago I went to the Machine Shed. It's a restaurant very similar
to the Cracker Barrel. The menu was okay. It'd be great if you like
all-American comfort food.
Our table was too small and the waitress brought me the wrong meal and
still brought it out even though I told her not to. We were on a time
crunch and I had a whopping five minutes to eat my salad. It was such a
waste. She didn't even offer to remove the meal from our bill or comp our
drinks. Which she totally should have. I know I could've asked, but I'm
not that kind of person.
So, the service was crappy and the waitress didn't listen.
They had good cottage cheese though

I love this spa. I've had many services there and never been disappointed. They have excellent ethceticians. I love the facials. My skin is always so much better after a trip to Faces and More. They also provide great waxing services. I went there before my wedding to have an underarm and bikini wax. The employee was so kind and really understanding that this was a painful process. No Helga's ripping hair out here!
The spa is really relaxing and they do their best to make clients feel at ease. They carry lots of great products as well. I highly recommend this spa for any service. It's easy to find. Just south of Penn and 494.

Binh Minh is a great Chinese Restaurant in South Minneapolis. From the street it's not much to look at, but the food is really good and the servings are quite large. To top it off, the food is really cheap! My office orders from Binh Minh regularly. All orders over twenty dollars recieve a free appetizer, with coupon. They have great lunch specials too. I always order a single serving of Chicken Chow Mein which is four dollars and can be split into at least two meals.
I really like eating here because I feel like I am actually supporting a small business and not some giant chain. Did I mention how affordable and yummy it is?

Selma's Ice Cream Parlour is tucked away in Afton, Minnesota. It's about 20 minutes east of 494 and Bailey Road. It's a really cute place to go eat a yummy treat. It's not too far from the St. Croix River, so I highly recommend getting a cone, walking up and down mainstreet and seeing the boats and enjoying how beautiful the St. Croix is. Selma's also has great outdoor seating.

Joey's Only Seafood is a great place to go in Woodbury for seafood. It's certainly not as great as some upscale restaurants, but better in my opinion than Red Lobster.
Every night they have specials. We went on a Thursday when it was all you can eat shrimp. You had your choice of several types of shrimp.
The staff was incredibly friendly. The food was good. It was quiet, even with a TV.

Harry's Tap Room is conveniently located on Clarendon Boulevard just a few short blocks from the Claredon Metro Stop. There is ample parking in a ramp behind the restaurant.
The atmosphere at Harry's is clean and sophisticated. The staff is extremely pleasent and the food is delicious. My favorite is the petit filets with their blue cheese sauce. Customers may choose from a variety of sauces. They also have many other entrees that are delicious.
Harry's is priced right for the service and quality of food.
I love this restaurant that I'm not in DC in anymore. My husband gets to go in a couple weeks and I'm so jealous!
