What we ordered: Our party was dining on borrow time on the night of our visit, so we went straight to our entrees instead of ordering an appetizer as I normally would. Although I didn’t order Italian Fries on this visit, I highly recommend them.
There are so many awesome past choices at Donatelli’s and I have had the pleasure of sampling many of them over the years but on this night I ordered the Spaghetti with Meatballs. I typically never order spaghetti at restaurants but Donatelli’s makes their spaghetti from scratch and it is perfect. The noodles are fresh and cooked slightly al dente with a generous amount of the hearty house red sauce.
One of my companions had the Seafood Cannelloni. This was delicious, but extremely rich. There were three shells stuffed with a blend of lobster, scallops, and shrimp in a lobster sherry cream sauce. It had several cheeses baked on top until just melted. It was served with a slice of garlic toast that was great for dunking in the sauce. Take the cannelloni shells out of this dish and you have yourself a wonderful seafood dip.
Another companion ordered the Cajun Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, which was fettuccine mixed with several bite sized pieces of grilled Cajun chicken breast, and sauteed green and red bell peppers.
Another companion started with the Antipasto Salad followed by the Rigatoni. The Antipasta salad looked wonderful with ham, pepperoni, mozzarella, cheddar, onions, mushrooms and black olives. Tossed in Donatelli’s homemade Italian dressing.
The Rigatoni was a bowl of standard rigatoni topped with Donatelli’s red sauce.
One person in our party had the Steak Caesar Wrap. This wrap had a substantial amount of beef in relation to lettuce. Tasty and filling.
Service: Our visit was early evening on a Saturday night and it was already busy at Donatelli’s. We were able to get a table big enough for the six of us with a few minutes of arriving and were greeted by our server shortly thereafter. Drinks were refilled quickly and food was prepared reasonably fast for how busy it was. Six of us were in and out in about an hour. Our server, as well as the staff in general, seemed very friendly.
Overall Impression: A true institution in the White Bear Lake area, Donatelli’s has something that will appeal to everyone. The menu is huge and the service is very friendly.

What we ordered: (Disclosure: My visit was part of a pre-arranged five course dinner held to kick-off this summer’s The Generous Pour Wine Event. I will only be writing about the items I tried that are permanent features on The Capital Grille’s dinner menu.)
I started with samples of two appetizers. Pictured below on the left is the Pan Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers. I really love calamari when it is cooked right and this calamari was cooked perfectly so that it was tender without a hint of chewiness. It was lightly breaded and slightly crispy. I have been loving the combo of fried calamari with peppers lately and The Capital Grille’s version really hit the spot. The other appetizer that was paired with the calamari was the Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella with Vine Ripe Tomatoes. One look at this treat had my mouth watering and it smelled amazing. The prosciutto was thickly sliced, slightly smokey and perfectly crispy. Similar to bacon but even better! The melted mozzarella was creamy, a perfect contrast to the crisp prosciutto. Could I eat nothing but this every day for the rest of my life and call it a low-carb diet? Sounds like a great idea to me!
Just before the main course we were brought a basket of different breads. They all looked great but I didn’t want to ruin my appetite.
For the entree, I chose the Kona-Crusted Sirloin with shallot butter. This steak had exceptional flavor, having been dry aged and cut on-site, extremely tender with just a trace of marbling throughout the meat. It was broiled at a high heat to give it the prefect amount of char while still between a medium and medium rare temperature, as I requested. The shallot butter melted on top just emphasized its natural juices and flavors. Everything about it was excellent.
My companion has the Cedar Planked Salmon with Tomato Fennel Relish. This looked amazing! The salmon filet was thick and cooked al dente toward the center, as it should be. It was seasoned with fennel seed and then covered with a relish made from shallots and tomatoes. I tried just a bite of this and thought it was great.
We were served two different side dishes with our entrees, including the Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese. This delicious, rich and creamy dish was made with Marscapone, Havarti and Grana Padano cream sauce. I can’t recall having a macaroni and cheese with this exact combo of cheeses, but the flavors were pleasant while being somewhat strong. There were a handful of large pieces of lobster claw meat in the dish, which was then covered with white cheddar and Panko bread crumbs.
Another side dish we were served with our entrees was the Sauteed Spinach.
For the dessert course I chose the Strawberries Capital Grille. This dish consists of handmade vanilla ice cream that is topped with fresh strawberries and a special sauce made with Ruby Port and Grand Marnier. My first impression of this rich and creamy dessert was that it tasted like marshmallow but the strawberries brought a nice mix of both sweet and tart.
Service: I had great service at The Capital Grille, which can only be expected since I was their guest for this special dinner.
Overall Impression: The Capital Grille may be a chain restaurant, but it is one of the finest chain restaurants in the Minneapolis area. You can always count on a delicious, high-quality meal at The Capital Grille. One of the best deals around is their Generous Pour Wine Event currently running through Sept. 4, 2011, where patrons can get unlimited glasses of wine with dinner for only $25/person.

I was recently at Famous Daves BBQ & Blues in Calhoun Square to see the legendary Eric Gales Band. While there I ordered the Famous Bread Pudding.
Oh Heavenly, Lord.
The bread pudding itself is very good but what makes this dessert is the pecan praline sauce. Sweet, buttery, rich and decadent. Did I mention divine?!
Want the recipe?
Famous Dave’s Bread Pudding
1 1/2 lb loaf cinnamon egg bread 2/3 cup golden raisins 1 1/2 cup sugar
4 cups milk 2 cups heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup vanilla extract
8 eggs, beaten 1 tsp cinnamon unsalted butter
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Coat the bottom and sides of a 2-inch deep 9″x13″ baking dish heavily with butter. Tear the bread into 1-inch pieces. Mix with the raisons in a bowl. Spread the bread mixture evenly in the prepared dish, turning crust side down as this tends to burn easily. Whisk the sugar, milk, whipping cream, vanilla, eggs and cinnamon in a bowl until blended. Pour gently over the bread mixture, making sure every piece is wet. Place the baking dish inside a larger, 4-inch deep roaster pan. Add water to the roaster pan to reach halfway up the side of the baking dish. Bake for 1 hour. Remove baking dish from water bath immediately. Let stand for 20 minutes. Serve while still warm. Spoon into dessert bowls. Drizzle each serving with warm Ol’ Southern Plantation Praline Sauce. Top with whipped cream and add a scoop of vanilla if desired.
************************************************************************************
Ol’ Southern Plantation Praline Sauce
2 cups unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans 3 pounds light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 cups sour cream 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Heat 1 cup of the butter in a large saucepan until melted. Add the pecans and mix well. Bring to a boil. Cook until the pecans begin to change color. Be careful! This mixture will foam over, so use a large saucepan (3 qts or larger). Add the remaining 1 cup of butter and mix will. This will cool the pecan mixture and stop the cooking process. Remove from heat. Combine the brown sugar, whipping cream and cinnamon in a large(4 qt.) sauce pan and mix well. Cook over low heat until blended, stirring constantly. Increase heat. Using a candy thermometer, cook to exactly 230 degrees. Immediately stir in pecan mixture. Then add sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Remove from heat. Serve over Famous Dave’s Bread Pudding, but save some for vanilla ice cream, French toast, pancakes, etc.
Yield: 8 cups.

Links: McCormick & Schmick’s Website * McCormick & Schmick’s on Facebook
Atmosphere: The Downtown Minneapolis McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant is located on Nicollet Mall at 9th St.. The restaurant is quite big, or so it seems. On the way to our table we walked by several curtained-off areas which I can only assume lead to additional or private dining areas.
My companions and I were shown behind one of the very last curtains and into a large dining room. Deep, rich colors on the walls and floor gave it a masculine feel which was softened up by the white tablecloths.
There is also a large Bar area at the Downtown location that has booths as well as seating at the bar. Much less formal than the dining room but just as cozy.

Price guide: Appetizers $-12 Sushi $9-14 Oysters $3+ Seafood Specialties $17-32 Entrees $14-47
What we ordered: We started with an order of Fried Calamari. Delicious! The batter was crunchy but the calamari was cooked perfectly; the rings were tossed with banana peppers and sprinkled with fresh parmesan. The order aame with fire-roasted tomato sauce for dipping.
We also ordered the Large Oyster Sampler, which came with eight oysters in total: Malpeque Oysters, Deep Bay Oysters, and Alpine Bay Oysters. I can’t honestly tell you which two varieties I tried but they were both fresh and delicious. I always top my oysters with lemon, cocktail and horseradish. I’ve said it before but I LOVE horseradish. Goes perfectly with oysters ;)
We also tried a couple orders of the Angry Tuna Roll. These fabulous rolls contained spicy tuna, then topped with more tuna, thin slices of fresh jalapeno, spicy mayo and flamed tobikko. I love spicy sushi and this really hit the spot.
We also ordered the California Roll, which I did not try. Nothing wrong with a California Roll every now and then but I would take the Angry Tuna Roll over this plain jane any day.
Just before our meals were served we were brought Sourdough Bread which was fresh and crusty.
I had a hard time deciding what to order for my entree. I love halibut and the Macademia Nut Crusted Halibut sounded really good but I was afraid it wouldn’t have enough flavor for me. The server assured me it was excellent so I did end up ordering it. The dish looked good but I was immediately disappointed by the somewhat small size, in comparison to my companions’ dishes. My piece of halibut was about 3″ x 1″, very lightly crusted and pan fried. It sat on a bed of steamed broccoli and atop the mango butter sauce. The fish was cooked just right so the texture was firm without being tough but the taste of the overall dish was very mild. Nothing wrong with this dish, just too boring for my tastes. For the money, it was about $3 per boring bite. Ridiculous if you think of it like that.
One of my companions ordered the Horseradish Hashbrown Crusted Red Snapper. I tried a bite of this and thought it was very good. The flavor of the horseradish was apparent but not overpowering, it really just enhanced the taste of the fish. The hashbrowns that were crusted around the fish were a nice compliment in texture, however my companion thought there was a little too much potato in proportion to the amount of fish. I liked it much better than my halibut.
One of my companions ordered the Sea Bass, which turned out to be one of the best dishes I tried. The sea bass filet was quite big in comparison to the halibut and it sat atop a bed of stir-fried veggies and udon noodles soaked in the delicious, flavorful Asian miso sauce. Once I was offered a bite I had to show restraint so I wouldn’t eat half the dish. A winner!
One of my companions started with the Chopped Salad and then had the Steak & Scampi Combo.
The Steak and Scampi combo is a great value, it come with the filet mignon, jumbo scampi-style shrimp, gruyere croquettes, and steamed broccoli. I tried a small bite of this steak and it was delicious; tender and juicy. A grilled Lobster Tail was added to the dish for an additional charge. The bite of lobster I tried was also excellent; sweet and succulent.
The steak and Scampi combo also came with Creme Brulee. This was creamy and cooked just right, with a nice crunchy layer of caramelized sugar on top.
We also tried the Key Lime Pie, a cheesecake-style key lime with a thick graham cracker crust. Oh, I love key lime and I love cheesecake. Great combo.
Another dessert we tried was the Apple Pie. The caramel drizzled on top gave this dessert a messy appearance but by all reports, it was very good.
Service: We had a reservation for dinner and were promptly seated. Our server was very good but our visit was a long, drawn out experience. We ordered many courses and ended up staying almost three hours for dinner. The kitchen seemed to take their time preparing our food, most of it being worth the wait. Toward the end of our night things started to seem very slow, it took 25 minutes to get our dessert after we ordered it, despite being the only ones left in our dining room at the time. When our server brought them out to us she said she made them herself, so I guess someone in the kitchen dropped the ball.
Overall Impression: There were many items that I tried at McCormick & Schmick’s that I thoroughly enjoyed and the prices seem reasonable for the portion sizes. Our server was great but the food did take a long time. I will definitely try McCormick & Schmick’s again in the future.

Atmosphere: WA Frost & Company is located on Selby Ave at Western Ave, in the Dacotah Building just a few blocks from the Cathedral, its home since the mid 1970-s. I came to sit on the patio so I never saw the main dining room but I did get a peek at the bar area, a nice sun-lit room with wooden floors and tables, as well as seating along the bar.
WA Frost has a beautiful patio that sprawls out behind the building. At the far end from the hostess stand is the Garden Bar. This area is open for seating in the afternoon before the main dining room opens. There are a number of little tables all over the patio, as well as cushioned sofas and sitting areas.
Another part of the garden patio is a sunken dining area with bigger, umbrella’ed tables and beautiful, lush green plants and flowers. Gorgeous!

What we ordered: My companion and I both started with cocktails. I ordered a House Margarita, which was decent.
My companion ordered a Gimlet, a cocktail with gin and a splash of lime.
My companion also tried this sampler of Whiskeys.
Our visit was during Happy Hour so we sat in the Garden Bar area. We started with the Artichoke Dip, one of the features on the HH menu. The blend of cheese and artichoke was covered with cheese and baked to a crispy brown. It was served with lavasch, a cracker-style flatbread.
We also ordered the Coconut Curry Blue Mussels which we both thought were amazing. The mussels were on the small side but they were extremely tender and the flavor enhanced by the sweet, creamy and spicy coconut green curry broth with fresno chili and cilantro. Delicious! The order also came with grilled sourdough bread from Rustica Bakery. I could eat a million of these!
We also shared the Reuben Panini, which is made with house-cured corned beef. The beef was delicious and tender, but did not taste at all like any corned beef I’ve had (and by now you should know I am a huge fan of corned beef and anything Reuben). The beef simply tasted like seasoned roast. It was topped with cheese, sauerkraut, thousand island and marble rye then pressed on the panini grill to make it extra crispy and give it the customary panini lines. Our server actually had the plates split for us so we each received a big portion of fries with our half of the panini.
When I ordered the sandwich I asked if they had any flavored mayonnaise (for dipping the fries), my server said he would see what he could do. He came back with the WA Frost trio of sauces; a Sriracha Aioli, Watercress Ranch, and some other type of aioli. They were all very good.
The server must have overheard that it was my companion’s birthday and brought out the Homemade Kit Kat Bar, compliments of WA Frost. This was very good and had an interesting texture. The base of the bar was hazelnut praline with maldon sea salt caramel and was somewhat flaky yet more dense than I expected. It was served with a creamy house made Chai ice cream. The serving size was somewhat small, I suspect this was the sample size that is served with the dessert trio.
Service: We had really good service while at WA Frost. I arrived early for Happy Hour and was able to get a spot in one of the parking lots and then a nice table in the Garden Bar area. Our server was reasonably fast and went out of his way a few times to make sure we got what we needed and then some.
Overall Impression: This was my first time at WA Frost and I fell in love with the patio at first site. Then one bite of the coconut curry mussels and I thought I might have died and gone to heaven! I will definitely be back to WA Frost again this summer for what can only be another fabulous meal.

What I ate: I visited on a Saturday night during the Prime Rub Buffet. My first stop was at the American Bounty where I tried a calzone and a piece of pizza. Nearby at another station I found marinara sauce and since I love tons of red sauce, I took a ton for my calzone. Best idea ever, the calzone with the extra sauce was one of the things I liked the most. I also tried one of the Buffalo Wings, pretty basic.
Next I tried a plate from the Oriental Station which included Szechuan Beef with Noodles, fried rice, fried potstickers, cream cheese wontons and an eggroll. Typical mediocre chinese buffet food, nothing stood out as anything special.
I tried a few bites of the Tomato Basil Soup, which was creamy and flavorful.
I also tried some of the Prime Rib. The initial cut I got was very well done, so I asked for a different piece. The chef who was carving it then cut into a whole new roast so I could get a slice that was medium rare. This was more like it! Even though the slice was thin the meat was very tender. Thank goodness I came to my senses several years ago and realized that eating beef well done is ruining the meat. I’ll never eat it cooked more than medium, it tastes so much better when it is still tender and juicy!
I piled up a plate of different desserts and took only a few bites. The bananas foster and the bread pudding were both very good.
Service: We made it to the buffet after 9pm on a Saturday night, less than an hour before they closed. Our server was a quite strange and made very weird comments to various members of my party, but drinks were refilled at record pace and dishes cleared almost as quick.
Overall Impression: The food at Grand Casino Buffet was decent but nothing special; not nearly as good as the Buffet at Mystic Lake. I’d eat here again if I happened to be at the Casino but I wouldn’t drive out of my way just for the food.

Atmosphere: Tria is located at Centerville Rd and County Rd J in a large, beautiful building that more closely resembles a modern mansion than a restaurant. There are six dining areas within the property. The main dining room is just inside the entrance; a homey room with arched entries, fireplaces and wooden floors.
Another popular area at Tria is the Bar, which is where we sat. The beautiful wooden bar is the center of the room, with big booths running along the wall.
This is one of the areas available for private dining

What we ordered: My companions and I visited Tria during Happy Hour, so we ordered several appetizers, including the Chicken Dijon Bites. These little bites of white meat chicken were mixed with a flavorful, creamy dijon mustard sauce along with sauteed mushrooms and spinach. Delicious and low-carb! Came with a long slice of toasted ciabatta.
We also tried the Artichoke Dip, which was also very good. The blend of cheeses, spinach and artichokes was baked in a ramekin with breadcrumbs on top. It was served with a plate-full of golden baguette toasts. Both the dip and the toast were wonderful, just wish there was more dip for all the toast ;)
We also had the Beef Bites, mmm mmm mmm. The bites of beef were tender and juicy, seasoned with Montreal spices and cooked in a red wine reduction, then served with a side of bearnaise and extra-long slice of toasted ciabatta. Delish!

And last but certainly not least of the appetizers is the Wild Mushroom Flatbread. I like everything I tried but this definitely stood out, it was fabulous! The flatbread was topped with chive oil, fresh garlic, wild mushrooms and boursin cheese, then baked to a crispy golden brown and topped with fresh sprouts. The pizza was light and very flavorful and I absolutely loved the cheese they used, it had much more to offer in the flavor department than any ordinary mozzarella. I might dream about this pizza, it was that good.
We also ordered a Burger with Bacon and Bleu Cheese. The burger was 1/2 lb of beef topped with extra thick slices of smokey bacon and bleu cheese crumbles on a fresh, toasted bun. The entire thing was very good but the bacon was outstanding.
We were definitely full from our appetizers and wine but when I heard they had a list of homemade ice creams and sorbets, I had to try one. Our server ran down the list of flavors and once I heard “pistachio” I was sold. This was no ordinary pistachio ice cream. It was a scoop of frozen heaven in a dish and I am an ice cream lover to the core. It was rich, creamy and packed full of small pieces of pistachios and the white chocolate was infused into the pistachio cream. Heavenly!
Service: We had excellent service at Tria. We wanted to take advantage of the happy hour specials so we sat in the bar; fortunately we arrived early enough that a booth was available. Our server greeted us right away and told us about the happy hour specials. Our glasses of wine arrived within minutes so we enjoyed it while we looked over the appetizer menu. Our server was great about checking on us even when the bar area became busy, all requests were taken care of quickly.
Overall Impression: I am glad I finally tried Tria; the food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. I am still thinking about the Wild Mushroom Flatbread and the Pistachio Ice Cream, but would also like to have dinner there next time I visit. Looking forward to the patio when it gets a little warmer too!

What we ordered: We started with a couple of beverages, I had the House Pinot Noir and my companion had the Raspberry Mint Long Island. Oh, was this yummy! It was sweet and fruity yet still packed quite a punch. You’ll feel real good after a couple of these!
We also got this complimentary basket of different breads, French, Sourdough, Pumpernickel, and a Flatbread Cracker. All were very good, it was nice to have a variety to choose from.
We tried the Calamari, which was extremely tender. The strips were thick and cooked perfectly without any hint of chewiness. The outside wasn’t as crispy as I like it but since that would mean overcooking it, I’ll take it tender over chewy any day! It was served with two dips, the spicy marinara and a lemon herb aoili. Both were excellent!
We also got the Tenderloin Tips, a great choice if you want mouth-watering, tender beef. These bite-sized pieces were pan-seared in a tangy bourbon sauce, topped with green onion and tomato and served with a creamy horseradish sauce for dipping. These were great!
My companion also tried the Lobster Chowder. This soup was extremely enjoyable; the sweet and tender bites of lobster were the star of this dish with the corn, potato, and leeks cooked al dente to create a nice contrast in texture to the creamy broth.
There were so many temptations on the menu that when I saw the special Tasting Menu featuring a sampling of regular menu offerings, I knew it was the perfect choice for me. The first course had a sample of the Enjoy! Salad, Lobster Chowder and Bruschetta. I loved every bite of the Lobster Chowder, as described previously. The Enjoy! Salad was also very good; a mix of greens with gorgonzola cheese, slices of pear, candied walnuts and tossed in a citrus vinaigrette. One of my favorite salads! The Bruschetta was also delightful, a combo of fresh tomato with basil served over grilled french bread then drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Reminds me of summer!
The main course included a sampling of Halibut, Canneloni and Chicken Picatta. The Halibut was a thick sampling of the filet, seared to an appetizing golden brown and served over a creamy mustard sauce with asparagus tips. The Canneloni is one of the signature dishes at Enjoy!, a tube of pasta stuffed with ground beef, pork, tomatoes, ricotta then topped with mozzarella and served on a bed of spicy marinara. This was wonderful, a real classic. The ground meats were very flavorful but one of my favorite aspects of the dish was the combination of red and white sauces. The third item of this sampler and my favorite of the three was the Chicken Picatta. This decent-sized pounded chicken breast was served over a creamy herbed risotto and topped with a light and creamy lemon butter caper sauce. This was so delicious! The lemon was apparent without being overpowering and the capers provided just a hint of saltiness.
The dessert course also had three delicious samples: the Chocolate Bread Pudding, Maple Creme Brulee and Espresso Cheesecake. I started with the Chocolate Bread Pudding. This had a good taste but the texture of it was slightly hard so I moved on to the creamy creme brulee. I loved it! It was very creamy but didn’t have the eggy texture that custard often gets. It had a candied sugar crust on top that gave just a hint of crunch to contrast the creaminess. The third dessert sample was the Cheesecake, a bite of heaven supported by a crunchy oreo cookie crust then topped with an espresso glaze. Mmmmm
After much deliberation my companion ordered the Sea Bass for an entree. Oh My was this delectable! The filet itself was perfectly cooked, light and flaky, served over a bed of delicious veggies. The roasted brussel sprouts, swiss chard and crispy bacon bites were tossed in a creamy citrus butter sauce; every bite was wonderful.
We shared this Coffee with Bailey’s for an after-dinner drink while enjoying our desserts
My companion also ordered the Key Lime Pie, which was exceptional. It was creamy and tart yet sweet. Scrumptious!
Service: I had made a reservation and despite being late, my table was waiting for me when I got there. The hostess checked our coats right away and shortly after we were seated we were greeted by our server. We took our time looking over the menu however the server really helped by highlighting the special features and making other recommendations. The pacing of the food was just right, giving us time to finish each course before the next arrived. Overall I was very pleased with the service, it certainly made the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall Impression: I was very impressed with Enjoy! and can honestly say it is one of the best (new-to-me) restaurants I have tried in many months. The facilities are gorgeous and the perfect place to have a group dinner or event. The new dinner menu is impressive, as are the Chef’s Special Features; we enjoyed everything we tried. I have not yet eaten at Enjoy! for lunch but all of the sandwiches sounded wonderful and the best part about lunch is that it is guaranteed 45 minutes or less or it is free! I look forward to going back once the weather warms up so I can enjoy the patio too!
