The latest such place is Smith & Porter opening in the Mill City district of downtown Minneapolis opening on January 24 at 428 South 2nd Street. The restaurant aims to be an all things to people kind of place serving American fare with vegetarian options, full bar and local spirits and beer.
It will be open seven days a week for dinner with an adjacent cafe open for breakfast and lunch. The Facebook page will have all the updates and some tasty food pictures.
— Prairie Dogs lives! The chef owned sausage spot that had to close its Lyn/Lake location has announced they are moving into the beloved and newly revived dive Viking Bar on the West Bank. The kitchen will be open from 3 pm to midnight week days and from 11:30 am to midnight on the weekends.
—The owner of Sushi Fix, Wayzata’s road trip worthy sushi destination is aiming for March 1 to unleash his next restaurant upon the west metro. Baja Haus is the work of Billy Tserenbat, who recently returned from an extensive trip through Mexico to bring inspiration home. Tserenbat plans to make their own masa right on site for the handmade tortillas and is working on stocking the bar with plenty of mezcal. Anyone on the receiving end of his sake generosity knows that can be a good thing for a great time. The new restaurant is just down the road at 830 Lake Street East in Wayzata.
