Those unfamiliar with the Gray House are missing out, and here's just one reason why: On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, chef/owner Ian Gray prepares a three-course $20 meal that reflects his hyper-seasonal, hyperlocal ethos. Menus are posted a few days in advance on the restaurant's Facebook page (tinyurl.com/mbagrhl), but the lineup usually includes a salad, a trio of entree choices (including a creative vegetarian option) and a simple dessert. The gastropub's scrupulously researched beer selection is an added bonus. 610 W. Lake St., Mpls.; 612-823-4338; thegrayhouseeats.com
