When does $78.78 qualify as "cheap"? When it's Jax Cafe (1928 University Av. NE., Mpls., 612-789-7297, www.jaxcafe.com), and it's the restaurant's 78th anniversary dinner for two, which includes a whole Maine lobster, a 12-oz. Angus sirloin steak, a few of the kitchen's famous crab rolls, salad, potatoes and grasshopper ice cream drinks.RICK NELSON
