You have so many great options in Minneapolis it is hard to go wrong. If you are open to other cuisine, be sure to check out some of the Thai restaurants. Delish! As for steak, I'd stick with Manny's over Ruth's Chris.

Hello Chapmans5, On the east side bank of the river, crossing over from Minneapolis city side, there is one of my favorite places, called Wilde Roast Cafe. They have a website that will give you details of their hours, menu, etc. There is parking along Main Street or a block behind there is a parking ramp with underground tunnel access to establishments on Main Street. They also have an outdoor patio which is under an awning. I've seen people there dressed very casual and also dressed up. Save room for their gelato! Let me know if you have other questions.

Hello 67foxy, There is a parking ramp located at: 2nd Street South East, Minneapolis. The cost isn't too bad, I'm usually paying $5.00 for the time I am using it. There is also an underground tunnel directly from the parking ramp to Main Street where you can access a few restaurants (Wilde Roast Cafe is my favorite) and then walk across the street to get to the Stone Arch Bridge. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions! Lynn in Mn
