"A hidden gem", yes, my wife and would agree. We like to find restaurants that are not part of the main stream that serve excellent food with a little bit of flare. The Neptune Eatery was suggested to us by a friend and it completely lived up to the recommendation. Even though our reservation had been misplaced and its location is not what one might expect to find such quality, our evening turned out to be very enjoyable. Don't let the fact that this restaurant is located within a small strip mall fool you, it has plenty of charm to entice even those who may be finicky at heart. As our reservation had been misplaced we were offered counter seating, which at first concerned us but in the end we loved as we were able to watch the chef and crew at work behind the counter. We loved every bit of our dinner from the bruschetta appetizer to the entrees. We had a wild mushroom pasta dish which was fresh and filled with flavor and the butternut squash ravioli, which after the first taste my wife said was one of the best pasta dishes she's had. This is truly a compliment as she is a picky eater at heart and has tried many a dish at Italian restaurants throughout the Twin Cities metro area. The wine selection though limited was enjoyable. We would recommend this restaurant to our best friends and can't wait to return!
Pros: Excellent Food, Friendly Service
Cons: Can Be Loud
