Heidi’s Minneapolis is a place where you will find a four-star dining experience at two-star prices–a restaurant where fine dining doesn’t wear a suit and tie. Heidi’s kitchen is known as the home of Chef Stewart Woodman, renowned both for his astonishing creativity and the remarkable simplicity of his dishes.

The Tap House specializes in Baltimore Style Pit Meat. This preparation involves rubbing a high-quality piece of meat with a special housemade spice mixture and allowing it to marinate for three days. The Tap House’s menu also features gourmet hamburgers, home baked pretzels, ale steamed mussels, shells & cheese and a full selection of desserts.

This serenely simple restaurant features brick and pale-yellow walls, paper lanterns, bamboo-and-wood trim, Japanese prints and bonsai plants. There’s no quarrel with the variety or the price at Fuji-Ya, which offers nearly 50 types of sushi and teriyaki at inexpensive prices.

This little storefront bowling alley piles on the extras, with a restaurant, bar, coffeehouse and theater that offers plays, movies, music, dance and performance art. The restaurant features fresh fish, pad thai and hearty tuna steak and pulled pork sandwiches.
