Looking at prior reviews, what happened to us apparently has happened to others. Had reservations there on Saturday at 4:30 for my wife’s birthday dinner. Upon seating us we were informed we have to leave the table by 6 PM because of reservations at that time. And then they warned us again as we were sitting there with drinks that we have to put our food order in because we have to make sure we are out of that table by 6 PM. I’m not sure what type of training these people have in the food service industry but that was wrong! This was supposed to be a nice birthday dinner out but we all felt stressed being rushed! This is supposed to be a nicer restaurant not fast food! That said the food was good, I’m not here to put everything down but they need to do better!

We’ve been here a handful of times. Not from the area but the food and service is always good so we keep coming back. First time we dined they had a sea scallop dish and we fell in love at first bite. The food has been great every time since. We will keep coming back every time we are in the area.

What a great place in Lake Elmo! Will definitely be coming again and bringing friends. Had Star as our server and she was lovely. I got a Pillow Talk drink and it was so great - definitely got me a little tipsy! I also got a glass of wine with my meal (which was great). My husband ordered a Ganesha NA drink and he liked it. We started with the Elote Brussels and it was so good. We wanted more. Great elote flavors, refreshing and brussels were cooked perfect. My husband got the Ribeye and absolutely raved about it. The watermelon salsa was a surprise hit and complimented perfectly. Steak cooked great, sauce great - just great. I got the Walleye and ate every bite. So good, refreshing for summer and so much flavor. Dessert was creme brulee and it was great! Perfect vanilla flavor and you could add on the flavors on the side if you wish. Cozy atmosphere, definitely a great place with 2 couples, have a drink at the bar before dinner. Could watch some sports, but higher end than a sports bar. Highly recommend! $166 with tip for all of this, which I think is a good deal.

Worst service have had in years. Waitress Chris was extremely rude. Didn't even get to food and decided to go somewhere else and have a good experience/service.

Overall great experience, but the best part is the food. The cooks in the back are the real gem of this place. Thank you for the great meal.

First time here. It started out delightful, but through the course of our meal things declined. The appetizers, whipped feta and the crostini du jour were delicious, although the bread could have done with a bit of toasting for both appetizers. One mocktail and one cocktail, both very tasty. Entrees: Primavera with chicken and Thai noodles with chicken. This is where things start to go south. The Primavera was exceedingly briny with far more capers than one might expect for a single entree. Not nearly enough fresh tomato and needing another fresh element, a bit more olive oil and perhaps a squeeze of lemon. The Thai noodle dish was overly sweet, and we couldn't quite figure out why. Moving to desert, the creme Brule was sold out so we selected the desert du jour a Carmel vanilla cake(?) Which had an odd texture. It was nearly like a cookie which could have made sense if it had been soaked like a tres leches cake. But it was overwhelmingly dry. We were glad to have ordered coffee to accompany it. The atmosphere was okay. A bit too dark in our little corner by the entrance. It was loud - as it is just an open room with a bar and only a few booths, there was little to deaden the sound, it was difficult for us to carry on a conversation. Other people seemed to be enjoying themselves though. If we were to return it would be for drinks and apps.

Great restaurant. The staff was wonderful. Some different items on the menu, everything we ordered was well executed. Not a lot of seating so I would suggest reservations.

I can’t recommend highly enough. Not exactly inexpensive, but so worth it. We’ve eaten here several times now. Each entree was amazing. Craft cocktails are great. Meals served quickly and wait staff works well together to help each other out. Make it one of your regular stops!
Amazing. My fiance and I came here for our 10 year anniversary and everything we got was a 10/10.
