12 Twin Cities Restaurants Where the Views Match the Food

"The limestone building that houses the Nicollet Island Inn was first built in 1893 — more than a century later, the hotel and restaurant retains much of its old-fashioned charm. Both the outdoor patio and the indoor dining room, bar, and lounge have scenic views of the river and the island. Come for a weekend brunch or enjoy a wedge salad and New York strip steak for dinner." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
