Best place to eat in the Lakes Area! We had the special, chicken, bacon ranch flatbread, homemade tomato tortilla soup with an amazing salad with smoked tomato dressing. Unbelievable!!!! Service was top Notch (wink, wink)!!! This pace is a must for anyone looking for a delicious meal, great service and a cool atmosphere. Brandon our server was friendly, fun and engaging. Great service, great prices, great food.

Expensive, and not very good. Just wasn't much flavor to anything.

We had good service from our waitress. Forgot her name but she did her job flawlessly. Good food, just small portions for the price. This isn’t any kind of deal breaker but if I were to suggest anything it would be to improve the seating system. The place was 1/3-1/2 full and we had to wait a while for an open table.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great everything! I had the build your own wonton birria tacos, and they were DELICIOUS. I always make sure to stop by when I'm in the area

Great food in a fun location. The waitress was very knowledgeable and super nice. Fried dumplings were fire and I had 'The' Burger which was also great.

Would say a tad pricey for add ons when its +$3 to get fries (instead of the default chips) with any dish (when fries are free at most restaurants). Also +$3 to get seasoned sour cream with the fries and +$3 to add Bacon to my Burger. So $9 just for add-ons but maybe thats just me getting picky with what I want.

But the food was awesome so I'd say worth it.

Very creative Chef. Can't wait to return.

I think the head chef and his whole kitchen crew are the best in BLA. Unfortunately the owner of Notch 8 and the NPC is a terrible person and am even worse employer. Don't support this business owner

Stopped for lunch today as we were driving thru Brainard and I'm soooo sad I'm not staying near there for the weekend. My husband and I both got sandwiches and soup and it was the best food I've had out in a long time. The salad was so fresh and had depth and flavor. The soup was a seafood strew and my husband and I spent the rest of the ride trying to break down the ingredients so we could make it at home. I need to find an excuse to go back to Brainard. Soooo good. I look forward to trying everything on the menu. Highly recommend the duck confit sandwhich and the profiteroles for dessert.

We were excited to go here as we were married in a train station, naturally we found the song beautiful! The drinks were denials and the service was excellent, I ordered something other than I wanted and they happily replaced my mistake! We live how away and are already planning a return trip!
