3 Cozy Dinners to Cure Your Cabin Fever This Weekend

The January chill has officially settled into the North Metro, but we have the perfect antidote. If you’re looking to get “far from the noise” and into a warm booth, here are three “cozy-approved” dinners waiting for you in the Twin Cities Gateway.

1. Lindey’s Prime Steak House (Arden Hills)

Step through the doors of Lindey’s and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a 1950s northern supper club. With its knotty cedar paneling and large stone fireplace, it is the definition of “cabin cozy.”

• The Vibe: Old-school tradition where the menu is simple and the service feels like family.

• Don’t Miss: Their legendary sirloin served with those famous “greaseless” hash browns and bottomless garlic bread. It’s a hearty, soul-warming meal that hasn’t changed in decades.

2. Tipsy Steer (Blaine)

If your version of cozy involves comfort food and a lively atmosphere, Tipsy Steer is your spot. It’s the perfect place to warm up with friends after a day of winter hiking or shopping.

• The Vibe: High-energy comfort. Think brick-oven heat and rustic wood accents.

• Don’t Miss: Their Bacon Lollipops are a must-try appetizer, followed by a Short Rib Grilled Cheese or one of their signature brick-oven pizzas. It’s the ultimate “winter fuel.”

3. Sur by Vita Bella (Ramsey)

For those who want a “night out” feel without losing the warmth, Sur by Vita Bella in Ramsey’s downtown is a hidden gem. It offers an elevated dining experience that still feels intimate and inviting.

• The Vibe: Sophisticated and chic with a stunning fireplace lounge that’s perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail.

• Don’t Miss: Their French-inspired offerings are incredible. Try the stuffed mushrooms with brandy cream or a prime cut of steak paired with their parmesan-crusted asparagus. It’s the perfect setting for a January date night.

Whether you want a cabin-style steak dinner or a modern fireside feast, the Gateway has a table waiting for you.
