Masa saying "adiós"

Sorry to report that stylish Masa (1070 Nicollet Mall, Mpls., masa-restaurant.com) is closing, after a 10-year run. The D'Amico-run restaurant is doing it right by announcing a closing date (Oct. 24), allowing fans to drop in for a final taste of the kitchen's skillfully prepared Mexican fare and the bar's excellent margaritas.

Mattie's on Main (43 SE. Main St., Mpls.) has closed. The Riverplace restaurant, from owners Dean Schlaak and Thomas DeGree of the neighboring Wilde Roast Cafe (65 SE. Main St., Mpls., wilderoastcafe.com), opened in June 2014.

Rock Elm Tavern (16605 County Road 24, Plymouth, rockelmtavern.com) is up and running in the space most recently home to Digby's. Owner Troy Reding, a Blue Plate Restaurant Co. vet, is serving a half-dozen specialty burgers, a short list of steaks and chops, house-made Tater Tots with bacon ketchup and a long stretch of craft beers on tap. Lunch and dinner daily.

Loring Park has a new breakfast and lunch diner: Eggy's (120 W. 14th St., Mpls., eggysdiner.com), owned by Magellan Development Group.

The restaurant is located in the first floor of the new LPM Apartments tower, which was built by the Chicago-based company. The covers-the-bases breakfast/lunch menu (including a $6.50-and-under kids' menu) is served daily, and includes shakes, smoothies, fresh-squeezed orange juice and coffee from Milwaukee's excellent Colectivo Coffee.

The second outlet of Yum! Kitchen and Bakery (4000 Minnetonka Blvd., St. Louis Park, yumkitchen.com) is now open in the former home of Pairings Food & Wine Market (6001 Shady Oak Road, Minnetonka), serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.

The metro area's first Hy-Vee supermarkets have opened (7180 10th St. N., Oakdale, and 8200 42nd Av. N., New Hope, hy-vee.com), and with their arrival comes the store's Market Grille restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.

Oct. 5 is the opening date for Masu Sushi & Noodles (14638 Cedar Av. S., Apple Valley, masusushiandrobata.com), serving lunch and dinner daily.

Now this sounds like a party.
