So, I went to Butcher & the Boar the other night.  We showed up almost half an hour late for our reservation and even though there were some empty tables, as a cynic I still expected some serious attitude from the hostess when we gave her our name.  After all, this is "it" for the Twin Cities right now. Fortunately, she was very accommodating and we were seated shortly after arriving.  The food was universally flavorful and different than most restaurants in the Twin Cities.  (No calamari! No flourless chocolate cake! Thank God!)  Cocktails were also excellent and I'll be returning (when I'm not driving) to try a bourbon flight or two.  All I will say is this: if you go to this restaurant and do not order the roasted jalapenos stuffed with a cream cheese and peanut butter mixture, you are not my friend.
