[Winona Online Democracy] A "nice" restaurant would certainly be nice, but it will need to survive on more than a few summer visitors to the Shakespeare Festival. Restaurants usually live or die on: a) lunchtime business crowd, or b) evening entertainment crowd. Therefore, to be attractive for a restaurant operator there must be: a) a large concentration of steady jobs nearby, or b) a concentration of entertainment attractions nearby. If Winona can boast neither, then a nice restaurant is not likely to make it. Even downtown Minneapolis, with about 160,000 people working within a few blocks has seen some high profile, high-end restaurants go under lately (e.g., Aquavit). As the economy goes, so go nice restaurants.
When I'm in or near Winona visiting family we go to the Harbor View, Hillside Fish House, or Drugan's. Where do people in Winona go for a "nice" dinner? I'd love to hear people's answers and why.
