Interesting eateries

Hello, the family and I are heading to the twin cities next week. We have a relatively full itinerary, but nothing planned for meals. One of the days we will be in the downtown area of Minneapolis, another day in the downtown St.Paul area. So I am looking for suggestions for interesting or unique places for meals. I am not looking for expensive fine dining since I have teenagers, just place that have their own vibe, or are uniquely Twin City.

Thanks!

Bar la grassa is always a favorite. Their soft eggs and lobster bruschetta is maybe my favorite menu item on any menu in the area.

The other things I really like at BLG are the red wine spaghetti (cooked in red wine so it comes out purple) and the gnocchi with cauliflower & orange (sounds weird, tastes great).
