We’ve been visiting old favorites lately, and in every case, they remain favorites.
Eddie Merlot’s. Everything a fancy steakhouse should be. Expensive, good wine list, good service, impressive surroundings, and flawlessly prepared steaks. A place to go when you want to impress your company, or when you want to pat your self on the back for your good fortune in being able to afford such a place.
Cerulean. Located in the somewhat precious Village at Winona, it continues to impress by serving up an eclectic menu of tapas, sushi, and main courses. The wine and beer list, like the food, is eclectic and interesting. We’ve been there a half dozen times over nearly two years and it remains innovative and fresh. My current selection as the best restaurant in the area.
Catablu. Perhaps less ambitous than in the past, but what Catablu does, they do very well. I had the smoked duck flatbread appetizer and it was one of the best things I’ve eaten. The entire meal was flawless, executed at a leisurely special night out pace. The place is beautiful, a shining example of the possibilities for urban renewal.
