jP American Bistro

LYN-LAKE DISTRICT. Owner-chef J.P. Samuelson earns high praise for his inventive take on traditional American fare. His menu gets facelifts seasonally in order to take advantage of the finest the Minnesota countryside has to offer, from fish to farm-fresh meat and produce. The space, formerly a tire warehouse, certainly does its part to contribute to the contemporary vibe, with its open kitchen, high ceilings, exposed ducts, opaque glassblock windows, and exposed brick walls. Outdoor seating is available when the weather's pleasant.
