Description

James Beard Award-winning chef Tim McKee took over the Guthrie's first-floor restaurant space and transformed it into a sustainable seafood eatery that's quickly become among the best places to dine in the Twin Cities. Erik Anderson's cooking is a marvel--flavor pairings pop and textures intrigue in such dishes as arctic char with white beans and artichoke giardiniera, linguini with rock shrimp and sea urchin, and more. (The non-seafood dishes are equally well executed, plus the cocktail and dessert lists are stellar.) The raw bar features everything from fresh oysters to yellowfin poke. And to eat all this guilt-free? Priceless.

Sea Change looks like a restaurant dedicated to sustainable fish should--like an avant-garde art museum on the ocean floor. Sleek and modern, the space is blue all around, with floor-to-ceiling windows... More »
2010 | BEST SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

Demand for seafood is rising faster than high tide, as it's an extremely healthy, tasty, and nutritious protein. But its increasing popularity has stressed the oceans' stocks, and poor fishing methods have caused serious ecological damage. Worse, consumer information about sustainable seafood tends to be fast-changing and confusing. Fortunately, we can find some relief at Sea Change, James Beard Award-winning chef Tim McKee's new restaurant in the Guthrie Theater. McKee's team has done its... More »
