Meritage is and remains one of our favorite restaurants, so it was a natural choice when we needed a place to celebrate our new venture.  We visited on a Thursday, made reservations, but found that the dining room was only three-quarters full.  We were given some prime seats near [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mspfoodcourt.wordpress.com&blog=3507780&post=188&subd=mspfoodcourt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The Citizen Café was a pleasant surprise.  Going in, everything about the place seemed simply ordinary, from the neighborhood—a few blocks west of Hiawatha on 38th Street—to the building, which was, let’s be honest, so ordinary as to be almost ugly.  What we’d been hearing about the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mspfoodcourt.wordpress.com&blog=3507780&post=176&subd=mspfoodcourt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Being a St. Paul resident and proud of it, it pains me to say this, but it&#8217;s true—when it comes to fine dining, St. Paul can&#8217;t hold a candle to Minneapolis.  That&#8217;s not to say that we don&#8217;t have some decent restaurants—we do—but if you want to see an A-list chef [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mspfoodcourt.wordpress.com&blog=3507780&post=171&subd=mspfoodcourt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Rinata Restaurant recently opened on Hennepin in a space that used to be owned by Giorgio&#8217;s Wine Bar.  To be honest, it&#8217;s not the ideal space for a restaurant of any type, as the big glass doors and window in the front aren&#8217;t very conducive to an intimate eating atmosphere.  It [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mspfoodcourt.wordpress.com&blog=3507780&post=165&subd=mspfoodcourt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Ever heard of the paradox of choice? Basically, this concept states that there is an inverse relationship between choice and satisfaction—as choices become more plentiful, people’s satisfaction with their ultimate choice goes down. At first glance, this doesn’t seem to make much sense. We’re taught that choices are a good [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mspfoodcourt.wordpress.com&blog=3507780&post=157&subd=mspfoodcourt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
