"Great addition to the Twin Cities"   My Rating

	Review: Cafe Agri is a trendy, modern, little joint in a nice residential area of Minneapolis. Seating is limited, but the service is friendly and fairly prompt. The food is on the pricier side, but the quality of the ingredients (fresh, local, seasonal, organic) justifies this. Our beet ribbon salad was wonderful---subtly sweet and savory, with juicy beets, fresh strawberries and nutty, perfect figs (I normally don't like figs, but these were special). My main course, vegetables in a light BBQ sauce with heirloom rice, was simple and popped with the flavors of local, sustainable peas, bell peppers and onions. My friend's pasta dish was light and tasty, featuring avocado, hand-picked tomatoes and delicious brown-rice penne. Finally, our dessert, a mango pudding with Brazil nuts and dark chocolate shavings, was complex, and had a perfect balance between semi-sweet chocolate and semi-ripe mango. Overall, this is a wonderful, mostly-vegan addition to the Twin Cities. My only gripe is that it's not 100% vegetarian. I don't understand why they insist on maintaining one fish dish---perhaps if Cafe Agri surveyed its clientele, it would find that they don't go to an organic/local/sustainable restaurant expecting steak or seafood. I'd give Cafe Agri an extra star if it became all-vegetarian. But otherwise, this is still a great place.   Pros: Fresh, local, unusual * Service * Ambience Cons: Not 100% vegetarian * Slightly expensive *
