The Calhoun Beach Club’s on-site restaurant wins Facelift of the Year. The rejuvenated space (pictured here), once home to Dixie’s, is now a restaurant worthy of the club’s luxe membership. The warm, orangey colors; clean, modern lines; and cushy pod furniture are invitingly swank, but this place isn’t all about show. View’s sesame-encrusted salmon with an orange beurre blanc, shrimp spaghettini baked in parchment paper, and crispy zucchini fries are notable successes. Even the beautiful people can dine well here without mistreating their bodies: In keeping with the Club’s fitness mission, delicious and healthy dishes like Moroccan grilled tofu and turkey burgers populate the menu. This is the rebirth of a spot that thoroughly deserved to be gorgeous again. 2730 Lake St. W., Minneapolis; 612-920-5000; www.viewcalhoun.com
