DOWNTOWN. A sunny, textural interior of brick, copper, and wood serves as an apt complement to this restaurant's creative, flavorful cuisine. MJ Adams, the chef-owner, brings a French-urban sensibility to her restaurant, and Rapid City literally eats it up. Premium ingredients go far to distinguish the fare, which includes salmon with rhubarb chutney, shredded pheasant in phyllo, buffalo empanadas, and braised lamb shanks with preserved lemons. A terrific wine list heightens all these flavors, and lovely desserts provide a delicious cap to the entire experience. A great find.

DOWNTOWN. Although the Adoba Eco City's signature restaurant may be named \"Enigma,\" there's no mystery about its wonderful cuisine. Chef Gunter Schnepp has been with the place for many years, and his talents only grow. Perfectly cooked, tender steaks and chops are a restaurant favorite, but diners are sometimes fortunate enough to find dishes that honor Schnepp's Austrian heritage, like goulash, wiener schnitzel, and spaetzle. His chili also elicits raves from locals and has been honored at area competitions.

RAPID CITY. Culver's Wisconsin-style custard is a real treat: dense, creamy, and created with both eggs and cream. It curries much favor and comes in a variety of flavors, including caramel cashew, raspberry cordial, brownie thunder, and chocolate eclair. Flavors alternate regularly, and you can also get sundaes, milkshakes, and other dessert concoctions. If you need a prelude to such decadence, the eatery offers burgers, salads, chicken, seafood, and a handful of Mexican dishes.
