Mairin's Table - (612) 746-4272

Closed for business. Planned on going there for dinner last night (June 5, 2009) but they are shut down and their phone number is out of service.

Six of us went here recently, one cold January night. We found the restaurant to be very intimate and warm. We were excited by the food choices and the passion of the server for the food. When the food arrived it looked absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, the rice with my meal was not cooked it was crunchy. The waitress promptly removed my plate and returned with potatoes... which were good, just a poor fit with the shrimp that I had ordered. There were only 3 couples besides us in the restaurant. The food took much longer than expected and it appeared to us that our server might also be cooking our meal - because she and one other woman alternated being in the back for long periods. +The rest of the food was well done. +Friendly atmosphere. +Good prices - Service slower than it should be (40 minutes for food to arrive) - Rice was not cooked - Smell of cigarette smoke coming from the back of the restaurant or restrooms

Love this place! Small, intimate and very tasty. NE joint is perfect for a date with a beau or a close friend. Good food and nice wind selection.
