Santorini Taverna and Grill, Eden Prairie

The Nicklow brothers, veterans of the Minneapolis dining scene, own and operate Santorini Taverna and Grill, where diners salivate over a slate of Mediterranean delicacies during brunch, lunch, and dinner. On weekends, guests boogie to the strains of [live entertainment](http://gr.pn/zLhl9l) in the forms of bands and DJs. Dual fireplaces keep shoulders toasty during winter months, and during agreeable weather, diners can feast outdoors on a large deck and patio perfect for viewing the seasonal migration patterns of commercial air balloons. With a whole brigade of restaurants under his belt and an impressive backstory that includes coming to this country with $3 in his pocket, brother Tony Nicklow was recently inducted into the Minnesota Restaurant Association Hall of Fame, according to [CBS Minnesota](http://gr.pn/HeGFkI). He aims to treat every diner with warmth, as if they're a friend, which is why he flings his opponent's favorite foods only during food fights.
