Perched on the banks of the Mississippi River in the historic St. Anthony Main district, Aster Cafe is one of Minneapolis's most romantic restaurant destinations. The restored century-old building features exposed brick, warm lighting, and a riverfront patio with sweeping views of the Stone Arch Bridge — a uniquely beautiful setting for happy hour.
