RESTAURANT REVIEW

Alex Roberts' restaurant serves the most straightforward version of farm-to-table cuisine in the Twin Cities area. A graduate of David Bouley's kitchen, Roberts has adapted Bouley's "hyper-fresh and hyper-local produce" theory of cooking, making it work in a much more casual setting. Dishes include a crispy soft-cooked egg with smoked mushrooms, arugula and fontina cheese fondue, and local trout with lemon orzo, mascarpone, sweet peas and crispy artichoke. One reviewer waxed poetic about Robert's legumes: "I'm not a vegetarian, but I usually eat vegetarian here because the dishes are so delicious." "
