There's a new place in Chaska call "Mix New American Diner" We went there for lunch after cleaning the booth today and thought the food was pretty good. It's got a full bar and a some decent beers They've taken over what used to be "Jays" and later an Embers. The address is 222 N. Chestnut St but they're right on 41 a couple blocks north of the river.

i know where that place is. it does look nice. I havent been inside but do know where it is. :)
Heard from a couple people at work that the food is good.
Ayup, I've eaten at Mix, it is indeed good food. They've yet to pull a decent crowd that
I've seen so who knows how much longer they'll be there.
It seems the down town area of chaska is a curse for restaurants for some reason. They come and go so quickly down there. The place that's now Cy's bar (the mill) has been so many different restaurants it's like there's some kind of curse or something.
A group of us ate there on Friday morning. It was great food! The only have two breakfast related items on the menu being that they don't open until Ten. We did tell them that they should stay open later on sunday evening with everyone leaving faire grounds. They usually close at 9 or 10 on sunday.

The wife and I split a salad and the "Sliders" appetizer on Friday and really liked them. The "sliders" are three different mini burgers: Mushroom and Swiss, a bacon cheeseburger and a mild blue cheese.
mmmmm.... Stop it! You're making me hungry!
Oh! It's lunch time! ;D
Can they handle groups of people?
It would appear that they would be able to accomadate decent sized group. They have bar seating, some booths, and tables in the middle. I am sure the tables could be put together.
People liked it? I wasn't impressed at all by them... Not much to choose from and way too pricey for the smaller proportions. I live only 8 miles from there, I usually end up driving the extra miles into DT Shakopee to Wampachs (is that how it's spelled? I can never remember) since they have good diner food and decent coffee all for cheap.
I'll admit the entres might be a little pricy for the neighborhood, but the only problem we 've had was that the serving staff seemed a bit young/inexperienced.
Wampachs (if that's how it's spelled) is great, but just way to small. I figure this place like any new place has some growing to do. I just hope it gets to stick around long enough to do it. Many places down town there don't seem to last all that long. Or they have to go through some major changes.

I noticed that as well gp. When we asked if they were prepared for the Renaissance rush, we got blank stares. And we wonder why they can't keep a restaurant there for very long.

We spoke to the owner the first time we were there, and she seemed excited about the prospect of fest, so maybe she hasn't warned the staff.
They should be warned soon though, or they'll never be prepared. God help them then.
