3 Squares Restaurant - Maple Grove: My husband and I had lunch here today. It was around 1:00pm - the place was fairly busy. However, when we arrived there were two parties waiting in the lobby, they told me it would be approximately a 15-minute wait - yet there were tables open. It took approximately 10 minutes to be seated, and it took about 10 minutes before anyone came to our table - the bartender. He was extremely pleasant which made up for the wait. Our beverages arrived via the guy who I assume was our waiter - since he also took our order. But it was the bartender who kept checking back with us after we got our meals - so that was a bit confusing. We ordered the chicken pot pie - delicious (special of the day), and the salmon scramble - also delicious. The hash browns were nice and crispy without being over-done. The English muffins there are huge. All in all a great meal, and the service was great - once we got some. Thumbs up.
Grand Casino Hinckley: Friday night - it was busier than I've ever seen it. All of the casino's hotels were sold out for both Friday and Saturday nights, but I couldn't determine why - there wasn't a big show or event taking place. Can only guess that it was the "luggage" promotion. This casino has one of the best non-smoking areas - more slot machine variety than some of the other casinos. The slots seemed pretty loose for me that night, but not for my husband! I really enjoy going to the casino ("no mind" entertainment) - but it's hard for me to give a thumbs up or down - nothing out of the ordinary.

Hyundai Sonata Limited, Walser Hyundai - Brooklyn Park, MN March 25, 2011
Hyundai Sonata Limited: I test-drove a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited today. It handles very nicely, and has adequate "get up and go" for a 4-cylinder engine. I'm a small-built woman and this care fit me nicely. The interior was nice - leather upholstery appears to be durable without looking like cheap or fake like some leather interiors do. This particular car didn't have the navigation package which was disappointing. I tested the radio and the sound was pretty good once the bass and treble were adjusted. The proximity of the buttons on the dash was good - don't have to reach, but don't feel crowded either. Nice big trunk. I like this car! Thumbs up. (P.S. I'd previously driven the Sonata SE - I did not like this car. Rides too rough, feels cheap because of it.)
Walser Hyundai Brooklyn Park: This is where I'd test-driven the Sonata Limited and SE. The staff there are attentive and very courteous. The showroom wasn't impressive - not as professional and classy as other auto show rooms typically are. I was not impressed with the fact that they cannot tell me when a hybrid would be in. And their stock of Sonata Limiteds is lacking. They had lots of Sonata SEs - my take is that they ordered too many, and because the SE ride is rough they aren't selling. Just my opinion of why they only had a few Limiteds and many SEs. I would purchase a car from this dealership based on the attitudes of the staff and convenience for me (distance from my workplace).
