“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“Our two visits to Layline have both been excellent. Enthusiastic servers and terrific food. Our favorite menu item has been the Watermelon salad. We had it on both visits and it was extraordinary both times.
We've enjoyed the Bywater Burger, Chicken Sandwich, Pork Chop and the Sea Bass. All were terrific. Duck fat fries also fantastic. We will definitely be back for more.“

“This was a wonderful cruise with dinner and two of us were able to join captain Jim at the helm while others enjoyed dinner and sights of the beautiful lake during our Navy Reunion being held in the area this year. We highly recommend this cruise!“

“Wanted to make sure I dined at Eloise prior to its conversion to a bar with TVs. The cavatelli dish was perhaps the best pasta dish I ever had! Served hot, robust flavors, and perfectly al dente!! The table-side Bananas Foster was awesome! Service was on point throughout. Those wonderful Parker House rolls will stay on the menu! Those deviled eggs were amazing!“

“Great Irish/American comfort food on the menu. Irish Rolls were great, Shepherd Pie, and Meatloaf all done so well. Met Chef James at Twins game and made a special short 20 minute trip out from our downtown hotel. Food was worth the trip, staff was absolutely great and friendly. We brought our pup with us, plenty of outdoor sidewalk and patio seating, and a water dish provided. Will be back again.“

“Our absolute favorite place to go in the area! They have THE BEST food, cocktails, and service. The prime rib skewers, creamy caper chicken, pizza, and pot pie are our personal favorites. The Justin cab, watermelon sugar high, and salted caramel White Russian (among other drinks) are seriously AMAZING! Servers and bartenders are top notch. This is our new weekly spot.“

“We had a family birthday party on the patio and Evan's service was five star. It started out as a pizza party until the family saw the dinner menu. Pizzas, pastas and burgers were delicious and all came out at the same time! Bravo Primo! Very well done!“

“You won’t go wrong here. They’ve figured it all out.“

“Lots of high-quality items can be found in this store. It’s getting harder and harder to find retail stores with kitchen items for your entire kitchen. This is one of them. Everything is organized and easy to find. There’s pretty much everything you can think of pots & pans, kitchen gadgets, utensils, etc.“

“2 nights in a row some of the best food i have had in a long time. The royal burger and the house salad were absolutely fantastic. The fajitas were just perfection, flavor, cook, quantity and plating. It is a must try place!!“

“Houlihan's is one of our go to places! The food is great, always consistent and a step above the run of the mill American fair. And the staff, Steve (the icon), Jake, Annie, Nip, Ross and don't forget Art (Happy retirement) are the greatest we love seeing their happy faces!“

“Tuttles has it all and totally stepped it up with the renovation of the dining area and the Live Music. Tuttle’s Eat, Bowl, Play is a powerhouse of fun, great food, great service, incredible music and togetherness with Community! You MUST stop in for a bite and please do stay a while to go bowling and later see the live music.“

“The chicken Parmesan and asada bowl are some my favorite dishes here. The Happy hour Buy 1 Get 1 for $1 is the best in the area. I typically come because bartender Julieta is awesome and fast with drinks.“

“This was hilarious for me. No time to eat arrived late as an out-of-town visitor. Then asked for my group of “stuck up people”.

The staff responded “take your pick Everyone here is like that”. As one specially trained in that, what a surprise. Great music. Great atmosphere great laughter.
I can hardly wait to come back. Thank you.“

“First time here and I highly recommend it. Great food and big portions for your money. Will return!!“

“We were blown away by our meal! The steak reminded us of Porzana, the fries were insane, and we also had an incredible pasta which was just outstanding. The chef has a very impressive background which we learned about when he hand delivered our meals. 10/10!“
