P.S. Steak
Price: Very Expensive•Steakhouse•4.7(120)As the name suggests, P.S. Steak was established to continue the story of the historic space that was once famed La Belle Vie. As Chef Mike DeCamp spent 10 years at the former French restaurant, this will be his homecoming and opportunity to write his own chapter for the space. P.S. Steak disrupts the perceptions of a typical steakhouse while honoring the legacy of one of the great culinary foundations in the Twin Cities.
The restaurant features an elevated yet accessible seasonal menu, along with a variety of cuts of meat, dry aged in a display case.
The lounge has been given a modern makeover with chic furniture and marble table tops. A selection of living floor plants divides tables to create intimate seating. Bringing warmth to the room, the bar and adjacent fireplace keeps guests cozied up to a menu of progressive cocktails.Butcher & the Boar
Price: Expensive•American•4.6(168)We are fine-casual dining with a fire at the core of its heart. Through the smoke and whiskey ashes of the previous iteration which closed its doors in 2020 rises a new haze of smoke and whiskey as we bring back this iconic brand, smoked meats, bourbon, beer, deep hues, and various spaces to a new location in the North Loop. Butcher & The Boar will honor its beloved roots, while spreading new ones in the fresh foundation that will help our guests embark on a journey with notes of nostalgia that carry the torch forward with new tastes and experiences.
With immense gratitude, we invite you to Live Full Boar with us.

Serving award-winning Thai cuisine since 1983, Sawatdee is home to Thai food, party spaces, a great happy hour, live music, and impeccable service.
When we first opened our doors at 1983, the Sawatdee mission was simple: to take our community on an adventure full of Thai flavors and good times. Many years later, that adventure is still as exciting as ever. Not only we expanded with more restaurants to share our flavors with more folks, we've added to to the flavors we offer, as well!
Our Minneapolis location is a beautiful warehouse-turned-restaurant, complete with a gold leaf ceiling and glass etchings of a Thai goddess. Specialties include Rama Thai Delight, Pad Thai, and a Tail of Two Cities.

Discover Mill District
The Minneapolis Mill District was once the industrial heart of the city but is now a historic downtown neighborhood popular for its walking tours. The district sprawls along the shore of the Mississippi River, and its waterside location has had a strong influence on the dining options. Some of the best seafood in Minneapolis is served up in the Mill District. Enjoy seasonal farm-to-table and river-to-plate American cuisine with the whole family, or sample fresh Thai fusion dishes after a show at the famous Guthrie Theater. Virtually all of the restaurants in the Mill District are within walking distance of popular outdoor attractions like the Stone Arch Bridge, Saint Anthony Falls, Nicollet Island and Gold Medal Park.
