Restaurants in Lakeville

“Always a great meal at the Porterhouse. The quality is top notch, drinks are flavorful and the staff consistently delivers an exceptional experience (Pam killed it the last time I was there). The only downside is that the place is relatively small and they pack you in, so it can get quite noisy. You can definitely look past that though for all the other reasons I just mentioned.”

“The best bar staffed with the best people! Consistently excellent food and service! I cannot ask for more!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options and swaps available!Parking: The lot in front can fill up but there’s plenty of street parking around the building. The childcare center across the street has restrictions on weekdays during the day but is available after school. The parking lot next to it is an option too.Kid-friendliness: Gym and swings in the yard, they keep the music family-friendly and have a wonderful kids menu for even the pickiest of eatersWheelchair accessibility: Handicap spaces and ramp next to the front door, wide entry and helpful staff always at the front”

“Convenient sushi place for the south suburbs. We got takeout so I can't speak on the service or ambiance. I thought it was delicious, though my husband wasn't as big of a fan. I think the flavors were good but not as comparable to other sushi in the Twin Cities and suburbs. We got crab rangoon (more on the sweet side vs savory), two rolls, and chicken fried rice. The fried rice had a bit of a fishy aftertaste and was quite salty but my 2 year old daughter liked it regardless! I can't remember the rolls we got but they were good and satisfied my sushi craving. I liked the jasmine milk tea ! Huge serving of that and it was pretty affordable as well. Although the quality was fine, we felt like it was priced significantly higher compared to other sushi restaurants in the suburbs and the portions were a bit smaller. Regardless it was a good quick option for sushi that's not too far from us and it was still yummy!”

“I have to say. I’ve been to this place so many times and I’ve had some great experiences but the main reason I love coming to this place is the people are real, the service is great and Rena is by far one of the absolute best servers I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by. If everyone was as friendly and welcoming and willing to put in the work as her this place would need to become a franchise.”

“Huge thanks to Mackenzi, our server, for making our 30th birthday dinner amazing! Super attentive, fast, and fun to talk to! Accommodated our party of 10 with ease! Drinks and food were all delicious! Highly recommend Gary’s!”

“This will be my new go to place for boba drinks! I went for the first time today and the staff was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is great if you want to take pictures - When I went they were finishing hanging a bunch of origami paper cranes from the ceiling. The drinks are delicious, I got the Brown sugar milk tea w/ boba and Matcha Latte w/ boba. Both of these drinks were made very well, the cup was full to the top and the amount of ice is perfect (they use what most places would consider light ice) so you actually get a good amount of drink and boba for your money.”

“Just stopped into this gem of a place the other day and I love it! The vibe, the delicious smoothies, the service - all fantastic! And I would 10/10 recommend the brownie batter smoothie! Definitely will be back soon.”

“I ordered their Easter meal for 7-8 people. Full meal plus desserts. It was ready for pickup on time on Easter morning. The directions were easy-to-use. Everyone loved the food. The meal was a bit skimpy on the gravy, but that was the only downside. I definitely will order from here again ?Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and their allergen list was very helpful.”

“I’m 35 weeks pregnant and sometimes it’s difficult to want to eat healthy but nautical bowls is an easy and delicious option for me. I just swung by and picked up my to go order and the adorable packaging made my day! Thanks to the sweet gal working this morning!!”

“Excellent food. Menu changes seasonally. And the cheese board is so good and such a fun appetizer to have with a glass of wine. It's very, very loud, especially on the weekends. That is a reason why we avoid it on the weekends. It's way too hard to have a conversation.”

“I wanted to make more of an effort in 2024 to leave reviews for great experiences. We were Lakeville for a late fam Christmas and always love trying somewhere new. Madi K. was our server. Our food was fantastic along with the drinks. I did the Firery Bloody, she recommended a perfect Sauv Blanc and my hubby is an Old Fashioned snob and highly approved! We didn't need to bring anything home and the kids entrees/sides were at a wonderful price point (even healthy choices). We will be back for sure! Vibe was awesome and a great atmosphere. Bang for your buck! Cozy and upscale bar food! Something for the whole fam!”

“Craving poke? This hidden gem is a family-owned restaurant that serves up some of the most delicious and satisfying poke bowls I've ever had. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful, and the portions are perfect. The friendly owners adds to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's definitely worth a trip, even if it's out of your way. This is my favorite place to get lunch.”

“It is difficult to find good employees and for the most part there are a lot of good people working here - just not our server. Thanks to the bartender and waitress working the bar area for helping out.Food was good. I’d return again in hopes of a better experience.”

“Chicken fingers are good. Probably one of the best I've had. Don't get the hype about the sauce but I'm not really a sauce lover to begin with. Crinkle fries are good. Toast is delish! Better than I expected but man that drive through line is always so long. I recommend going in to sit down and eat-not much of a wait.”

“I love this place. We always go for the hibachi dinners and they are so good (Yum yum sauce is essential). The staff is very welcoming and gives good service. I personally haven't had the sushi but I've heard it's very good as well. Pretty cool style on the interior, nice lighting, and a relatively small space which is nice.”
