New American Restaurants near Excelsior, MN

“Lovely atmosphere and great food!“

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“Awesome restaurant with great food. While their whole menu and drink selection is good, breakfast/brunch is my favorite meal here.

They have a great combination of indoor and out door seating. It’s also located on the Main Street in excelsior with lots of local shops, the lake, and the commons park all within walking distance. The regional bike trail runs right by there as well making it a great destination or place for a quick stop.“

“Hosted a lively group and Captain Jim, Nora and Jack took care of us! Very attentive, knowledgeable, fun. They made the entire experience amazing from the moment we boarded the boat until we got back to the dock. HUGE KUDOS to those three for making an average corporate event an amazing event!“

“Food was amazing, prompt service, and fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“This our first time in MN for appointments at Mayo Clinic. The staff were so welcoming and the food was delicious. 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“When asking the question - What should we do for dinner? Many times the answer is Red Roosters! Always great!!“

“Ive worked in multiple kitchens over the course of 8+ years and the short rib here was easily one of the best meals I have ever eaten! Wish I had taken a pic but it was quickly, and throughly, devoured! My husband had the pesto pasta which was also divine, light and lemony, perfect springy pasta dish. Our server Hannah was a delight! I dont often leave reviews but was compelled after having such a lovely dinner. I will be raving about that soy honey glazed short rib for months and hopefully will be back for more soon.“

“I could spend all day in here. Everything is beautiful and shiny! The staff couldn't be any nicer. They are very knowledgeable, polite and approachable. The inventory is fantastic. Great place to buy a gift. For yourself and a loved one.“

“The best service and best quality Italian restaurant I have ever experienced in MN! OG May say you're family, but Primo plates treats you and your party just like it. The owner went out of his way to make my date night special. Wickedly delicious tiramisu for a perfect end to our meal“

“Great staff and food. Very fresh has a fun golf club machine“

“excellent service food tasted great best happy hour out there“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I came in for drinks with a few friends and sat at the bar. Charlie was wonderful and made great drinks for us. Beautiful spot and appreciated that the manager Erin came in to check on us and make sure that we had everything that we needed.
Great spot!“

“Came there last night and had some drinks which were great and the apps were also great. Our service though… AMAZING! We sat outside on the patio and Maggie ( hopefully I spelled it right ) was our server and she CRUSHED IT. Super attentive, got personal, made us laugh and didn’t skip a beat! Shout out to literally the best service I’ve got in the state of Minnesota so far!“

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