Mpls.St.Paul Magazine: Try the Celery Root Soufflé. Sitting prettily on brioche and dressed with braised leeks, this simple starter’s subtle earthiness surprises you.—Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, February 2011
peter kafka: If you're reading this in the summer of 2015, get the pasta dishes. Awesome.
Heather Trone: Quite possibly one of the best meals I've ever had!

Heavy Table: Try anything salmon — like the gravlax small plate, or the smörgås, is marked by fresh fish paired with sweet beets and a spicy punch from watercress and mustard dressing. Read more.
Lily Crooks: Bright space, friendly staff, incredible food. The open face salmon sammich is to die for.

Pizzeria · CARAG · 85 tips and reviews
Erica M: The Caesar salad is surprisingly good. It's the dressing. Bonus for fresh shaved parmesan. Save some dressing to dip your pizza crust in.
Laurel Krahn: Try a pizza topped with sausage, banana peppers, and goat cheese. Also worth trying as a white pizza and/or with pesto too. Another option: salami instead of sausage (or meatless)
City Pages: Voted City Pages top ten pizzerias! All five Twin Cities Pizza Luce locations (and a sixth in Duluth) serve up a crisp crust, potent red sauce, and more toppings than you can shake an antipasto at.

American Restaurant · Whittier · 98 tips and reviews
City Pages: The opposites-attract concept has never been so deliciously extreme. An eclair with chewy maple-glazed pork is dressed with creamy, sharp cheddar cheese & stuffed between slices of a sugary bun! Read more.
Shalani Jain: This place is amazing on all levels. Great space, service, food, and drinks!
Heavy Table: The trio of cured salmon is fresh, silky, and served with a kick-ass dill, rye, and anchovy marinade. Be sure to order the bourbon caramel sundae to top things off. Read more.

City Pages: Voted Best Hot Dog by City Pages in 2012! If the Diamond Dog were a music act, it would be Lady Gaga- dressed to dazzle. At $9, it may be the most expensive dog in town, but it's well worth it.
