Last night Dale and I dined at the Red Stag Supper Club and what a supper it was! We've been once before in February or March of 2013 and both had the beef stroganoff (delicious). I started with and old-fashioned for a cocktail and asked for brandy instead of bourbon (the Wisconsin way) and was told that that's how they make 'em. Dale had some wine. They weren't messing around with the old-fashioned. It was great. We started with their relish tray which included picked yellow beets, pickled turnips, pickled carrots, and hard boiled eggs. It was all divine and perfectly sized for two people to split. For dinner I had the 8oz. New York strip which came with mashed potatoes, green beans, and wild mushrooms on the side (all divine) and Dale got the fish of the day which was salmon (also perfectly prepared - he gave me a taste). Our server, Andrea, checked on us periodically and at one point I told her that I thought the restaurant doesn't mess around - it's just great food. She recommended the the carrot cake for dessert and Dale couldn't have been more pleased as it's his favorite. He loved it and I did too. Next to Mom's, it's the best carrot cake I've ever had. It was a beautiful Minneapolis summer night and we took a walk through Nordeast for that reason in addition to being incredibly full!
