3. Zelo

Every time I find myself in Minneapolis, I always make sure I get an evening in at Zelo. It has that Frank Sinatra laid back feel but with a modern twist. Beautiful art objects hang from the ceilings and everywhere you look, your eyes rest on something beautiful. The food is always pleasing and often with some unique flavoring (wasabi mashed potatoes). For me, it’s less about going out to eat and more about having an experience.
