Aster Cafe is one of the many bars (located in the picturesque St. Anthony Main area of Minneapolis) that are a great place to grab a bite before or after a movie or the theater. The outdoor seating provides a majestic view of the Mississippi River. During the summer most people come to sit outside, people-watch and have a few drinks. The indoor dining area is filled with large tables and spacious booths. The menu is strictly American with homemade soups and sandwiches, burgers and fries, alongside a terrific desserts menu - the red velvet cupcake, in particular, is hard to resist. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are served.
This luxurious restaurant in the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is by far one of the finest seafood eatery in the Twin Cities, and the most expensive. With its red leather booths and cherry wood paneled walls, Oceanaire oozes elegance, 1930s supper club-style. The availability of fish dictates what is offered on a daily basis. Most days, diners have a choice of Chilean sea bass, yellow fin tuna, swordfish steak or Chesapeake Bay-style crab cakes. Side dishes are served à la Carte and are large enough to serve four. Appetizers are served home-style and include grilled calamari, oysters and jumbo shrimp cocktail. For dessert, the flaky-crust Key lime pie and brandy-ignited baked Alaska are without equal. Specialty cocktails include 1950s classics like the Pink Lady and Grasshopper.
