There are no exotic dancers at this hideaway on St. Paul's Dayton's Bluff, but you needn't worry about being entertained. Chef J. D. Fratzke is cooking up a storm, and his meaty menu-comprising small plates and a short list of mains that includes the eponymous grilled New York strip offered with a choice of seven sauces-is both varied and deftly prepared. And when it comes to the front of the house, co-owners and Town Talk Diner vets Tim Niver and Aaron Johnson are as an accomplished pair of hosts as you'll find, offering bonhomie and an interesting mixed drinks and wine program. From the small, crowded balcony, the view of downtown St. Paul is terrific.
