Fancier vegetarian fare in the Twin Cities?

http://spoonriver.com/ next to the Guthrie has delicious vegetarian and omnivore food, with a focus on local and organic ingredients. I don't think $50+ for an entree, but if you're getting appetizers and drinks and dessert I think you'd be in the right neighborhood. It has an upscale, modern feel to it too.

Do you have a cuisine in mind? Indian : The http://www.dancingganesharestaurant.com/Dancing_Ganesha/Home.html is really good - nice ambiance, good food. Not as expensive as $50 / plate though http://www.solera-restaurant.com/ was really good, some nice vegetarian tapas

Thanks already -- I'll start marking best answers when I'm not on my iPhone. Just to clarify: I set the price per plate as an upper boundary. My main concern is quality and atmosphere. It doesn't have to be expensive as long as it feels like something special.

Just seconding... Spoonriver is awesome!

112 Eatery and Cafe Maude would be my picks.

112 is not vegetarian friendly at all in my opinion, and favors the sort of meat fetish that turns me off when I go out. Veg friendly places rarely have the $50 platings that meat and seafood do :) nthing Spoonriver. Not the same range or vibe, but Broder's is quite wonderful! Tips for the wise: get on the wait list (by phone!) or the wait is 60-90 min on weekends. In Minnesota!

http://www.broders.com/: special by virtue of being crazy delicious.

I just read an article claiming that http://www.barbette.com/ is the best new vegetarian restaurant in the twin cities this year, even though it's definitely old and definitely an omnivore place. The "new" and "vegetarian" aspects come from a new chef who is apparently very good at cooking for vegetarians and vegans, along with all the omnivore cuisine they have available. And the atmosphere is great -- whomever you bring will definitely feel special!
