Some day I'll get over to Mitchell Street to dine at Transfer Cafe. |

Drew Olson's story about Habanero got me thinking about the places I keep meaning to try. Although we dine out more than a lot of people we know, we have a pretty strict budget and that means our options can be limited. But also limiting is the fact that we want to make sure we enjoy where we go, so we tend to go back to the same places. We're not unique in this.
Here are five places I keep meaning to try (in no particular order) ...
- Coast. I've heard good things, but I was only there for a buffet-style appetizers thing when it first opened, so that's no way to judge a place.
- Transfer. When we lived in Bay View there was Lulu, DeMarini's and Azteca and not a whole lot else for dining options. Since we left, a ton of places have opened, including this one a little north in the Clocktower Acres neighborhood (I learned that fact recently and couldn't wait to get it into a blog!).
- Nanakusa. We're not big Japanese food eaters, although we like it when we do have it. Some day.
- Eddie Martini's. This is priced out of our league. But we'll get there someday, I just know it.
- Habanero. Like Drew, I pass this eatery all the time. Maybe next time, I'll stop and have a bite.

I thought Nanakusa was very overpriced. I went with a group of 6 for sushi. We really didn't have that much food and our bill came out to $60/person!

Try Eddie Martinis appetizers in the bar room. You get treated like a king there also, and it is a good way to sample the food. And you don't need reservations that way---I love doing that!

my fav's are older, because as of late, I've been trying all the new ones. My list is: Lake Park Bistro, Five O'Clock Steak House on State Street, Coquette Cafe, Three Brothers, Sake Tumi. All based on recommendations from friends. Like I said, been too busy trying all the new ones!

Hit Coast for brunch - they have a set menu (not buffet style thank god) and it's shockingly really good. Add in the chocolate fountain at the end for dessert and I was suprised how good that place was.

I thought the food at Coast was overpriced and not very good. After dinner, I thought, I could have an awesome steak at Mason Street or Capital Grille for the same price. I would just save you cash for Eddie Martini's. That is on my list too.
