Where is the Best Late-Night Dining in Minneapolis, Minnesota?
Calamari: lightly breaded and deep fried, comes with mayo-type dip on a swirl of tomatoes and cilantro. Tasty but ordinary. Lobster Tacos: three, crispy, blue-corn taco shells filled with corn, cheese and lobster (yummy spices, bits of onion or peppers, too). The lobster was in large chunks, some identifiable claw meat. Marvelous! Served with black beans which were dull. Accompaniments: a tad of guacamole and crumbled bits of queso fresco. YUMMY!!! A terrific blend of textures. Price: $19. Tres leches cake. Had it on two occasions perfectly soaked outer layer, next layer was a bit dry, center again very moist. Great flavor, soaked or not. Mention soaking it more when you order it! Splurge and check this place out. Its not the BIG food you get at Oceanaire but not a la carte either. Other appetizers weve had proved to be interesting, of high quality and very tasty.Pros + valet parking, interesting food, decent value
I had the spareribs. They were dry and tough, and not well-flavored.The whole point of indirect cooking methods such as smoking is to tenderize tough cuts of meat. The whole art of doing this is accomplishing the tenderization without drying out the meat. Market failed in both regards on the pork ribs, which is unacceptable.The chicken was not bad, but the spare ribs were a huge disappointment.The sides were good, I really enjoyed the slaw. Service was nice and I really dug the atmosphere. Perhaps I was there when the pit boss was having a day, but I really had high expectations hearing about how great the place was. If you want a real Southern BBQ experience, there are much better options in the area (Baker’s, Qfanatic, Scot Jamama’s, and Ted Cook’s come to mind).
