My friends from Fargo, Andrea and Sam, came to town last weekend. I took Thursday and Friday off after most of the software release at work jumped to November. We hit a few restaurants:

The Black Sea - Lunch - 2012.10.12 or 11
Small Turkish restaurant in St. Paul. We had eggplant and a huge platter of mezes. Never made it to anything else. No pics.

Piccolo - Dinner 2012.10.12
I insisted we all order the Tasting Menu. ($48 for five courses) Because, of course, if you don't, you leave hungry. (I've been here before.) We all five ordered the tasting menu and we left quite happy.
