dinner at red stag

okay so i went out on a psuedo date....uncomfortable...but, the food was great, conversation good,...but i set rules of engagement as no go ...am i mean? thank godI I ran into 15 regulars from shop and 2 old college friends...they kept the evening sweet. and entertaining, kind to my date too, tho puzzled...what the hell so was I... had no real want to go but thought i need to get out in the world to test the waters some...
Restaurant review to follow:

Setting is great, warm, re-hab chic, over the top chandeliers, low soft lights, big windows, attractive and comfy bar and open kitchen. Staff very warm and knowledgeable. Kudos to our favorite mpls waitress/writer Nancy Sartor!!!

Had the garlic bisque soup to start...frickin wonderful!!!
Shared acorn squash with honey/lavender drizzle...YUMMMMM, but sweet.

Then, for main course had the red deer stroganoff and it was incredible....venison rare and soooooo tender, hand-made egg noodles hardy and delish. The sauce was minimal and perfect except for needing more pepper.

Wine list was good, some affordable, some not...beer list good to great and affordable...grade it A-cuz dessrt was cold. GO!!!!!
