  Minneapolis and St. Paul's midnight snacks

  By Rachel Hutton | Wed, September 03, 2008

  The other night, well past midnight, I watched with some sadness as a grown man carried a frozen pizza home from the corner gas station. While I sympathize with the occasional craving for shrink-wrapped, cardboard-backed foods, and will even make ... More >

  112 Eatery is by far my favorite restaurant in Minneapolis, with the Sample Room in second place. The service is wonderful. Matthew took care of us. He made sure we were very happy. He knows his stuff. We started with the artichoke salad w/ goat cheese cream dressing, some fresh ricotta w/ white truffle honey and two glasses of chardonnay, santa barbara winery, santa barbara county. Everything was delicious. The ricotta dish was the favorite of the two. The second course consisted of cauliflower fritters, a short rib chili, and the pan-fried gnocchi w/ parmesan reggiano. The gnocchi was beyond delicious. It is a MUST have. The short rib chili was just as amazing and is also highly recommended. The chili is not a soup. It's a spicy piece of flavored meat. Plus, we also had two glasses of the the Foxglove red wine. Later that night after a performance of Wicked, we returned to share some dessert. We ordered the tres leches cake. It is so far the best tres leches cake that I have had. When you go to 112 Eatery, be sure to get the gnocchi and the chili.

  May be one of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities Everytime I've dined there it has been great. Great food, good service and reasonable prices. Reservations are hard to come by between 6.30 and 9 but chance it and sit at the bar.

  Used to be, in this town, that late-night dining meant snagging a table at Little T's for a burrito that tasted like it just died and came out of a microwave. But the 112 Eatery changed all that. Designed as a place for post-shift chefs to wind down, 112 Eatery serves full gourmet meals until close, which is midnight Monday through Thursday and 1 a.m. on weekends. So take a seat in one of the deep booths—the ones along the wall that make you feel like you're somebody—and order a few of the small plates, maybe the lamb scottadito with goat's-milk yogurt, the pan-fried gnocchi, the cauliflower fritters, or the sautéed sweetbreads in a clam-and-porcini sauce. The menu offers everything from a humble bacon-and-egg sandwich slathered with harissa to, say, a more haute monkfish served with roasted salsify and crab. The food at 112 is so good that it's nearly impossible to find a table during peak hours without a reservation. But if you go late, you can reap the rewards of spontaneity.

  Wow. If you only go to one good restaurant this year, go to 112 Eatery. Every single item on the menu is something special. Go now before the economy takes away another gem. Sit at the bar, though, because it's impossible to get a reservation!
