        <content>I have never heard of this.  Just got invited to lunch there.  Understand it's the restaurant in the Crown Plaza on Kellogg and 11th.  No website, only one review that I've seen in my Google search.  I'm usually not hip on hotel restaurants, unless I'm in Vegas.....but will give this a try.  Has anyone been - thoughts?</content>

      <content>The hotel restaurant used to be Carousel, which was a Happenings book staple and not very good.  Now you don't even have the luxury of spinning around while you consume your food.  I don't know if it's the under the same management, and I suppose it's possible that the place has gone food forward, but the menu isn't promising.

      <content>Well, I knew my spelling skills were good for something. There is an online menu under the hotel website--it's Crowne Plaza. Here's the lunch menu:

      <content>If you are there on July 4th (assume a hotel resto is open), it's a great vantage point to watch the Taste of Minnesota fireworks.</content>
