The best steak place in town is Manny's Steakhouse at the W Hotel This is the only statement in Wine Gopher's jam packed post with which I slightly disagree. I have had several steaks recently (last two months) at Manny's, and found them lacking in flavor. The wine list is okay, but I actually prefer the steak at Capital Grille. I love 112 Eatery, Bachelor Farmer and Marvel Bar. Parlor is also pretty good for cocktails. La Belle Vie is good for everything. Haute Dish can be good on the right night and if they have Pappy's behind the bar. The Butcher and Boar is good, especially if there is room on the patio. I can't say too much about my last meal there as I sampled too many bourbons. If you cross the Mississippi River to head to Vic's, you may also want to stop in Nye's for a cocktail. I can do without the music, but they know how to mix a martini. On the other end of the Nicollet Mall, I still like Vincent. It is pretty empty lately what with the Orchestra strike, but offers a pretty decent meal and a brief, but interesting, wine list. If an impromptu offline develops, count me in depeding on the day. I work in the IDS Center. Scott
