Redstone American Grill

SoG Score: Food: B Ambiance: A
Type: American
Address: 8000 Eden Road
Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (multiple locations)
Price: $$$

Classically American, Redstone offers simple American favorites in an upscale Midwest lodge setting. If you're lucky to find a thunderstorm-free day to go, the patio (at the Eden Prairie location) itself makes it worth the visit, overlooking a pond with a few Bellagio style fountains. It's an ideal versatile setting guaranteed to impress for a business lunch, a night out with friends, brunch with your in-laws, or a dinner date.

The food is reliably decent but not spectacular. Appetizers were very artfully presented, and the buffalo shrimp was particularly good. The sea bass was a little fishy, lacked imagination, and was a touch overcooked. Their twists on banana creme pie and fresh berry tart were the highlight.

the good: patio, beautiful setting, live music
the not so good: long-wait on weekends, pricey for quality of food
Overall: recommended: worth a visit for the atmosphere
