NORTHEAST MINNEAPOLIS. Hints of Art Deco style can be found in Erté's playful decor, which features seat covers fashioned from black button-down shirts, leopard-print patterns, and prints of the namesake artist's elegant, linear works. The wallet-pleasing steakhouse not only serves affordable cuts of meat, but it also offers superb fresh seafood. Prime sirloin and a petite filet are highlights of the beef selection, while halibut, trout, and scallops are representative of the seafood options. Even with stiff steakhouse competition nearby, Erté's lighthearted atmosphere and varied menu set it apart.

WAYZATA. Gianni's atmosphere is sophisticated for a traditional steak house, but you should feel no need to dress up. Getting lots of attention is the Delmonico rib-eye, which is actually big enough for two. Diners who don't have a taste for steak can indulge in Gianni's pork, chicken, and seafood dishes. Side orders, too, are well-portioned, and Gianni's cheese-stuffed hash browns are a "must-try." On Thursday and Friday, a magician performs.

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. Attracting patrons of all ages, this well-appointed addition to the Warehouse District earns its popularity with juicy cuts of meat, knowledgeable servers, and the winning combination of a quiet dining area and a lively bar. Retro relish trays and garlic cheese bread are delicious preludes to a tenderloin filet, T-bone, New York strip, or prime rib prepared to your specifications. A 24-oz. Cajun double pork chop is also a serious contender. Peach cobbler, apple crisp, and strawberry shortcake are simple yet sinfully good dessert choices. NB Sunday brunch is served family-style.

BLOOMINGTON. Thanks to its location in an office building, Kincaid's attracts a business crowd who relish its well-executed, straightforward cuisine. Kincaid's specializes in Nebraska corn-fed beef, chops, fresh seafood, and pastas, and it's known for its mesquite grilling and homemade breads. The large bar is an added attraction, especially when the workday's over. Sunday brunch and incredible service are added draws, as is outdoor dining when the weather's warm. Reservations recommended.

EDEN PRAIRIE. Evoking the ambiance of a 1940s-era steakhouse, this branch of the small Midwestern chain is a hit with locals thanks to hearty portions of meat and potatoes – of course, a hip martini bar doesn't hurt either. Baked goat cheese and crab-crusted stuffed shrimp are tempting starters, but save room for the main course – salads, sandwiches, steaks, fish, seafood, chicken, and barbecue are all appetizing. For a change of pace, try a blue cheese-crusted filet or honey mustard-glazed St. Louis ribs.
