It's Restaurant Week here in Minneapolis, and I wanted to buy dinner for a friend who helped me out during a recent surgery, so perfect timing.
We went to the Red Stag Supper Club in NE and it was a delightful meal. I started with a lemon basil martini, which was refreshing and lovely. Dinner was Prix Fixe, per restaurant week, so I had the seared scallops small plate and a short-rib ragout over some kind of fresh spinach pasta. I'm not a huge pasta fan, but it was really good. I'm a recent fan(atic) of short ribs, though, and this reinforced that devotion. Short ribs are nothing short of delicious. And I am nothing short of ridiculous.
Dessert was a chocolate peppermint ding dong (it looked just like a Hostess ding dong). It was very, very good. Seriously good. I'm still thinking about it good.
Service was slow to start, but once this was noted by staff, first round of drinks were comped and everything was perfect after.
All in: $100
I have ALWAYS wanted to check this place out. The mural is just outstanding and inviting and amazing, but I honestly didn't know if this was a real place, a closed place, an object of my imagination, or just wishful thinking.

My cookies have finally arrived! Two boxes on thin mints for me and two for the troops. The Girls Scouts now have an option where you can purchase extra boxes that are distributed as the Girl Scout Troop determines. Mine are going to soldiers overseas. Supporting troops, squared.
I have very bad allergies and my former Room and Board upholstered bed did me no favors. I sold the bed on CL in December for $250 and meant to buy a new, non-upholstered bed soon after, but ran into some money trouble (shocking! I know!), so had to delay a bit.
