Restaurant recommendations in Minneapolis before or after a 7:00 pm show at Dakota Jazz Club
What are some good choices for dinner either before or after the 7 pm show? Would eating at the Dakota be a good choice?

In going through the info on the Dakota website I'm confused about the type of service during the show. Do they serve food while the show is on, immediately before, during intermission or in a separate dining room? Thanks.

Suzie-
I've heard mixed reviews of the food at Dakota. I have not dined there yet mostly due to the mixed reviews but it sounds like Marie has had a good experience. A friend of mine went and was very disappointed-- food served cold, poor service, etc. Since then, they have gotten a new chef and maybe things have improved?
Are you looking for something close to Dakota that you could walk to? Will you have a car? I love Lucia's but it will require a driving between Uptown and Downtown. Chino Latino is also fun but again, will need to have transportation.
If you are looking for something in walking distance to Dakota,
-Vincent (French): http://www.vincentrestaurant.com/
- Zelo (Italian): http://twincities.citysearch.com/pro...s_mn/zelo.html
And, still in downtown, but a little further out...
- Solera (tapas)
http://www.solera-restaurant.com/
-Capital Grille and Palomino-- these are chains so not sure if you want something more unique to MN
Vincent and Solera are probably my favorites in that area. If you are willing to drive between the restaurant and Dakota, there are a lot more options!
Have a great time!

We used to eat at Dakota all the time when we lived in MSP. The jazz stage was in the bar and you could get a dining table and eat during the show. Don't know whether that is still possible in their new venue but for sure the food is good, some of the best in the Twin cities. Eating right there would be fine.

I would most definitely go to either Zelo or Vincent. The Dakota just got a new chef, so you might want to try it. Lucia's is excellent, but you'll have to drive to Uptown. Zelo or Vincent you can walk to.
