Wild Game Wine Dinner at The Creamery Restaurant
We’re always so grateful when our customers let us know that they are enjoying their dining experiences at The New Creamery’s Restaurant. And, when they blog about it - well, that’s VERY much appreciated!
We got this kind e-mail from Brett Laidlaw, whose local food blog, Trout Caviar, is a great guide to the best dining and seasonal, local food in the Midwest, especially in the Twin Cities area:
The marvelous game dinner we attended last September easily made it onto my list of 2008 favorites in my local foods “blog,” www.troutcaviar.blogspot.com. Hope you’re having a good winter, and that we’ll see you soon. Best, Brett Laidlaw & Mary Eckmeier (St. Paul)

The New Creamery Restaurant & Inn in Downsville
“True to the American spirit of holiday celebrations, we not only ate and drank and socialized on Friday, the Fourth of July, but we also ate and drank and socialized on Saturday, too! We went with two dear friends to the new Creamery Restaurant in nearby Downsville. We’ve been dedicated patrons of the restaurant for years, even when we lived 225 miles south in Madison. It closed in February when the original owners sold it, and it just reopened on June 20. The new owners, Terry Vajgrt and Paula Williams-Vajgrt, have beautifully redecorated, maintaining the elegant simple feel of the old creamery, while making their own mark on it. Art still fills the walls, but now it is by artist Clay Vajgrt, Terry’s brother.
And the best news of all—the tradition of excellent food and service continues! The five of us all had different starters (I had the smoked trout cakes), and different entries. I worried about room for dessert, so instead of an entrée, I had two sides of perfectly cooked and seasoned asparagus and fingerling potatoes. We also each had different desserts, which we also shared I had the balsamic strawberries and panna cotta. Everything was magnificent.”
Enjoy the bounty of the season!
