Chef's Table?

I couldn't find anything recent on this(last was circa 2006?), however I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations or inside knowledge of chef's table offerings in Mpls? The current restaurants that I am aware of are:

Vincent
Cosmos
Corner Table

I've heard that 112 Eatery offers one? But I couldn't find anything on it...any suggestions or information would be great! If there was a more recent post on this, redirection is appreciated as well! Thanks!

    I can vouch for the Heartland chef's table experience being stellar. Probably the best and most flawless meal and service I had in 2011. That Lenny does a facility tour is an added bonus, except now I pine for a charcuterie room.

      Some more options are in this thread. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/570522

      Sea Change and Porter & Frye may also be options.

      I'd heed the advice to confirm directly with the restaurant, though, especially since the posts pre-date the fire at Heidi's & the sale at Corner Table.

        Heidi's definitely has a chef's table. Have only heard good things about it, but it may be pricey: http://heidismpls.com/?p=323

        Corner Table lists their table on their website still.

        I've eaten at Vincent's chef's table twice and really enjoyed both experiences - although it's been probably 3-4 years since the last time we did that.

          Meritage has one, I think it seats 4 - 6, and is $125 / min per person. Heartlands is the same (or maybe $135, I inquired once).

          Travail has "Hot Tub Time Machine" booth that seats 8 and is $1,000, "all inclusive" and is the only reservation they really take. I imagine this is their wacky take on a chefs table.

            Thank you for the feedback! I'm a little hesitant about Corner Table - I haven't been there since the new ownership, and I've heard negative things. :(

            Not sure what direction I'll go! I'll be sure to check back in with what I decide!

            Thanks again!

        Heartland has chef's table seating. They have up to three chef's tables, each seating 4-6. You can book one or all three.
