Okay everyone, I'm back in the game :) So I did my homeworkd and came across The Butcher Block which got great reviews from City Pages. Their website doesn't have much info., but this is one of those restaurants you need to try.

Here is what their website reads:

Welcome to the Butcher Block, where meat is our passion; organic, grass-fed, and sustainable are our principles; and serving great-tasting food – with or without meat – is our priority.

We're inspired by the cozy neighborhood trattorias you find in Rome and throughout Italy, but we're located right here in Northeast Minneapolis.

We chose the name "Butcher Block" in honor of Filippo Caffari, our butcher, who was a skilled master-butcher in Rome for almost two decades, before moving to Minneapolis to become head chef at I Nonni in Mendota Heights. Chef Caffari is one of the finest Italian chefs in the Twin Cities.

To accompany our remarkable Italian meals, we offer an extensive Italian and international wine list, as well as many fine domestic wines and beers. Our goal is to fuse the best of Italian culinary skills with the freshest ingredients, so you can experience authentic Italian dining.

The only passport required is your love of great Italian food.

Address:
the butcher block
308 e hennepin ave
minneapolis, mn 55414

We ate here two years ago and loved it and now we are heading back!

he original Christos, opened in 1988, is a spacious, airy restaurant reminiscent of an island taverna. Plentiful live greenery and attractive ornamental articles from the homeland add to the warmth of the ambiance. At Christos we've served classic Greek fare for 13 years. We offer dishes from all of Greece, and specialties from the island of Cyprus. Our traditional dishes are balanced with contemporary items adopted during our annual culinary expeditions to Greece. A wide array of appetizers and platters makes it easy for our guests to sample the cuisine or dine family-style. Our ever-expanding wine list now features products from five Greek wineries in addition to domestic selections.

Christos' prices are deliberately affordable, and our focus on personable, attentive service has gained us a fiercely loyal following. Come taste our unique brand of Greek hospitality.

We will be at two tables of ten.

Hi all,

The picnic was canceled and is now rescheduled for Friday, September 18th at 6:30 p.m. This will be with the Indoor Outdoor Group as well. Dinners at restaurants will resume Friday, September 25th (suggestions welcome!)

On Friday, September 18th, we will be having another picnic at Minnehaha Falls. Minnehaha Park has a lot to offer- we can go look at the falls, take a leisurely walk, etc. The weather forecast looks amazing!

Cost: $2-$3 (your choice), bring a sidedish to share. In your comments, please list the sidedish you plan to bring to help us not have an overabundance of one type of food (i.e. chips) The picnic is coming up quickly! Please keep your RSVP's updated. The yes list helps me determine how much to buy for the picnic. Soda, hamburgers, hot dogs, Veggie burgers, buns, condiments, paper plates, etc will be provided (for the $2-$3 fee).

This is a joint picnic with the Indoor Outdoor group so you might want to check out what people from that group are bringing.

The picnic is pet and kid friendly.

If you have any lawn games; ladder golf, bocce ball please feel free to bring at along.

The goal is to have a large picnic area to the left of the Sea Salt Eatery (go left as you are coming in from the parking lot). I'll have my blue cooler with the meetup sign on it placed next to our eating area. If you can't find us, please don't hesitate to call my 651-329-3044. You may need to try a few times as I don't always hear it right away.

Recommended by a Weekly Dinner member- this place should be good!

"Gandhi Mahal is a restaurant dedicated to principles that Mohandas Gandhi advocated in his lifetime. Gandhi lived a life of satyagraha, peace, voluntary simplicity, and an end to discrimination against people. He advocated a common humanity, and became the "father of India" with his ability to bring diverse people of different beliefs together. We have dedicated portions of our menu to a strict vegetarian diet, to honor new beginnings, and for the sake of coming together to enjoy the dining experience. We are a full spice, full menu Northern-style Indian restaurant that utilizes recipes that have survived in our family for many generations. Our mission is to provide high quality, healthy food that promotes a peaceful mind and experience in a hospitable and comforting environment, and we are shamelessly devoted to bringing the peace by pleasing the palate."

Reservations are under Maryanne/Weekly Dinner

Be prepared- checks will most likely be in one big group.

RSVP's will open on Friday, August 21st.
