    oceanaire or stellas.. stellas has a better atmosphere and a roof top balcony, also known for their oysters.

    The oceanaire is excellent. Their shellfish sampler is great. As said earlier it is pretty spendy though.

    Isn’t there a new place in STP? Heard something about a nice o-bar there, but can’t remember the name.

    Oceanaire for sure, Stellas doesn’t come close IMHO.

    x2 Just bring a full wallet.On average expect to put out about 3 bills for 2 people.

    Ok – NOT the best “seafood” restaurant in the twin Cities but $7.95 for 1/2 dozen of the biggest oysters I have ever seen – good calamari and shrimp too. Steaks, ribs, pasta – surprisingly good food. il Premio at Mystic Lake. No booze though. Cheap fine dining – yes!

    Boo Mac and Schmucks. I was suffering from a little vertigo and they cut me off from drinking.

    Seriously had one drink in bar while we waited. I tool the long way around the hostess station because I couldn’t find the bathroom. When they seated us and I ordered a drink, the waitress refused and brought over the manager.

    I didn’t order seafood, but I can say the steak I had was not much to brag about.

    This is the new Edina one, I am sure the one downtown is much better. However the franchise lost me as a customer that night.

    Not sure on the price as the tab was paid by software company, but the food was excellent at Oceanaire. The Black & Blue Halibut was unbelievable.

    Did I leave out the fact it was a double bacon martini? Or was it a Coors light. Maybe both.

    My pick is Oceannaire, however they are both great. Unsure if they still have it, but on Sunday’s Oceannaire was offering Lobster for two for $60 or $80. Included whole lobster each, side, appetizer, and dessert and 1/2 off bottle of wine. I don’t think Stellas and Oceannaire should be in the same category. Both have excellent food but the atmosphere is totally different. Sport coat at Oceannaire with and at Stellas your water is served in a plastic red coke cup and it can be very loud (if you get the picture). Oceannaire is more suited for quiet dinner occasions. A larger group will fit in much better at Stellas.

    1 bottle for the main course and 1 bottle for desert.If we don’t finish them,the waiter will re-cork the bottle,then you are leagle to take with.Its a very common practice.
    Pug,I don’t know what M&S is.Is that your bondage club?Where you get spanked with your Wallmart whip while wearing your Sears poncho.
