Great place, hope they have plenty of success!
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
A bunch of people in my office are excited they are reopening.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Wasn’t a different seafood place supposed to be opening back up in the McCormick & Schmick’s spot?

Yes. From the 801 Chophouse people
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Looks like the windows on the reopened Zelo space are frosted (or whatever) for the bottom two-thirds or so. Can’t see in or out when walking on the street.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Gross. I also wish we had an ordinance against this kind of thing. I guess it keeps the patrons from having to look at all that grey concrete on the mall, and the busses we couldn't do without.I wish there was a city ordinance that prohibited this.Looks like the windows on the reopened Zelo space are frosted (or whatever) for the bottom two-thirds or so.

There is! Nobody enforces it though

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
The good news is Zelo is reopening and they must have confidence the restaurant will succeed on Nicollet Mall. The glass is probably resistant to breaking and smashing. Things are somewhat better now, however, the reality is we live in a different era with a decline in public safety, so we will see more evidence of that in street level storefront design, etc.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Nicollet Mall made it through the era of Murderapolis just fine without needing to frost windows. This is so the rich don't see 'squalor'. No need to defend it. You can have clear glass that's more resistant to shattering and smashing. This is a weird take.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Noticed some construction workers hanging a sign for a new restaurant last week. Hopefully I have a new lunch place to try.
