Jennifer and I recently visited Jax Cafe in downtown Minneapolis for our 10th anniversary dinner. We had never been there and we were not sure what to expect. It was wonderful. It is strange though that it is very casual and very upscale all at the same time. Jen and I were dressed business casual, there were people to our right in jeans and t-shirts and people to our left in bow tie. There were also prom dates there. A very interesting atmosphere.
Jen picked the crab rolls for the appetizer and I think to this day I can still taste them. There are no words for how good these little rolls from heaven are. Buttery love stuffed with crab surrounded by a crisp "taquito" type roll up (I just drooled). Instead of flowers, these should be given to the ones you love on Valentines Day. Christmas, birthdays, mothers day, fathers day...everyday.
Ok, ok...yes, they are good but what helps them along is the ambiance, the staff, the dinner, the people and, did I mention, the crab rolls? Jax is a dining institution that you should visit with no doubt in your mind. A full meal including wine and beer (with tax) was a bit over a hundred dollars. A very fair price for the great experience that is Jax Cafe.
