A group of mountaineers from Colorado drove around Minnesota looking for it's highest peak (it's a large hill on the North Shore which does not really stand out if you are used to the Rocky Mountains). They never found Eagle Mountain.
Last summer two customers wandered into Marianne's Kitchen. Looking a bit weary they said they'd been driving around for quite a while looking for downtown Shoreview. There is no Downtown Shoreview. The Shoreview Mall on the NE corner of Lexington and Highway 96, one of the older retail centers, is often thought to be 'downtown.' On Monday, December 18th, downtow Shoreview was our destination for lunch at the Shore 96 restaurant/bar.
Featured on the lunch special menu were wraps, pork sliders, burgers and several pasta dishes. We opted for the California burger which was correctly done (American ground beef that is pink is not safe to eat unless the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees) and appointed with a lettuce mix, finely sliced onions, pepperjack cheese and served on a nicely grilled bun. The half-size portion chicken alfredo was just right for lunch and showed care in preparation and presentation. Alfredo not served in an Italian restaurant can be a gamble. Shore 96 did just fine today. Each of our choices were about $8.50, very reasonableThe full menu is available at lunch. The service was attentive and prompt. The atmosphere is well-worn, like the mall, but certainly worth a visit. It's close by.
