Nick and Eddie, Minneapolis, MN, “Snapshot” Review
Third time’s a charm–my husband G. Grod and I FINALLY made it out to dinner to celebrate our birthdays from last month. We’d had to cancel the sitter twice due to the kids being sick, then our sitter went on Spring Break and, voila, a month had passed.
Nick and Eddie was my first choice based on recent good reviews in City Pages and Minnesota Monthly, which is the new host of my favorite local food writer, Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl.
Loved: Our quiet table in a nook. One of the two breads–the lighter, sweeter one. G. Grod’s spicy steak entree over mashed potatoes and collard greens. My poached salmon. (While the potatoes with it weren’t done, the server was very nice about it, and comped my dessert.) Both our desserts: my butterscotch pudding, his chocolate roll up. The friendly, attentive but not intrusive service.
Liked: My pate appetizer, borscht, and the other, denser bread.
Regrets: Cold butter tore up the very good bread. I had to warm it over the candle. And I was very sad to choose between the butterscotch pudding and the spice cake, so I’ll have to go again and get that dessert.
Overall, good service, good meal, fabulous desserts.
