112 Eatery proves that truly fine dining lies within the food and the comfort, not in the fussy details (or outrageous prices, for that matter). Located in Minneapolis’ funky Warehouse District, this unpretentious restaurant has made a major splash on the national food scene since opening in 2005. Chef/co-owner Isaac Becker and wife Nancy St. Pierre succeed in creating a "restaurant that redefines ‘mom and pop eatery’," as inviting, cozy booths distinguish the small dining room, and late-night hours make it a popular gathering spot for chefs after work and foodies looking to avoid the crowds. Becker’s reasonably priced menu is both ultra-progressive and playful.
Reservations suggested. Full bar. Serving dinner nightly. Late-night Mon–Sat (until midnight Mon–Thur, until 1 am Fri–Sat).

"Theatergoers and off-duty chefs can be seen ordering dishes like tempura blue prawns with serrano chile mayo, baby lamb chops in goats’ milk yogurt and the tangy bacon, egg and harissa sandwich."
