“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“I love Ambi! It’s a great spot for a girls night, for a date, or just to stop in and grab a glass of wine while you’re in Anoka. My husband and I love to grab dinner on a date night and then end the evening at Ambi with a glass of wine and one of the delicious desserts they carry from Truffle & Tortes.“

“This place is amazing! food is on top! they make you feel like family!!! Overall the best place i’ve been too!!!!!“

“Our family went there around June 21,2026. The food was outstanding. The pasta dish I had was out of this world good. The Waiter, a young guy with a beard who moved to Mn from California with his wife, was very efficient and professional. Other than the fact that the establishment was a bit cold (we are from Mississippi), I give it 5 stars all around“

“Delicious food and fun atmosphere!“

“Food was very good. My mom got the shrimp lemon and chicken pasta which was FANTASTIC 10/10 on that. My dad got the pot roast stroganoff which was also fantastic another 10/10. I got the prime rib French dip which the sandwich was fantastic, however the au jus was very bland which was disappointing. The tater tots were awesome. Would definitely eat here again!!“

“Always nice to find a hidden Gem!! I had the Asian Chicken Salad and a friend had the Mediterranean Chicken Bowl. Both were full of flavor and generous portions. The combo of the two dressings that come with the Asian Chicken Salad was awesome!
Staff members were fun and friendly.“

“I’m a local to the area and decided to go to the reveal rooftop to have some birthday drinks, and it was the best decision. The night was great, the atmosphere was great, the drinks and the food were great too. Brian helped to take care of us and he did a fabulous job!“

“Lat14 was recommended to us by a local during our 24 hour layover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience during a hectic day!
Our server was wonderful, the food was delicious and the cocktails and wine were fun!
The Nam Khao was a stand out dish for us and I’ll think of it until I’m in Minnesota again.“

“Food is amazing and so was our server Abraham!“

“My wife and I stopped into San Pancho Mexican Restaurant in Long Lake during their soft opening and were very impressed. Although the restaurant has been around for several years, it’s now under new ownership as of mid-January by the Luna family, and the difference was immediately clear. The food was outstanding—authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with care and passion. This wasn’t rushed or generic Mexican food; you could truly taste the quality and pride in every bite. The service was just as wonderful, with a sincere and welcoming host and wait staff. The restaurant has also received a beautiful facelift. It’s clean, recently renovated, and filled with bright colors and décor that give it a warm, authentic Mexican feel. We had a great meal and are excited for their official opening. We’ll definitely be back! — Hans and Keaton Frees“

“Great good! I really enjoy everything here.“

“Situated beautifully along the lake with fantastic sunset views, COV Wayzata offers a wonderful ambiance that is especially enjoyable when the temperature permits outdoor seating. The service was exceptional throughout our visit, beginning with the highly accommodating staff who graciously allowed us to place our first round of happy hour drink and appetizer orders just minutes before the window closed. The tap beer selection is superb, and we started with the truffle fries, which were paired perfectly with a delicious truffle aioli.

One of the main courses we ordered was the steak frites accompanied by green asparagus and béarnaise sauce. While the flavor of the steak was excellent, the cut itself lacked a bit of tenderness. Additionally, while the restaurant boasts a strong wine list, the pricing reflects a remarkably steep markup; a bottle that typically retails for around $40 was priced at $155, which feels a bit excessive (normal for me as a Swede in Sweden, but not in the US…) Despite the steep wine prices, we ended the evening on a high note with a genuinely phenomenal Key Lime Pie. Overall, COV provides a highly memorable lakeside dining experience bolstered by top-tier service.“

“We have been more than satisfied every time we have eaten here. Lots of appealing choices, GF, kids’ meals, great drinks. The service was very good. And I can assure you that management goes over and above to accommodate. Thank you, Nell!“

“I've been to this location four times, the food has been great everytime, my favorite is the deviled egg open face sandwich and banana bread latte. Even the busier times I've visited the service has been good and attentive. Couple things to note, seating near the door can be pretty uncomfortable especially on a cold day and there is an hour limit per table, which is not based on when your order is taken or receiving your order but from when you arrive at your table, even if they're busy and orders are taken well after you've been seated. Two minutes after collecting payment we were informed of this rule, although the host wasn't rude when sharing this it felt a little less than appreciative of our business, not sure I'll return because of this.“

“We had great lunch and a wonderful server, Amy!!!! We sat in a booth by a window overlooking the parking lot, with Crane Lake in the distance. We definitely will be back.“

“Excellent food, excellent service!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service at The Tavern Grill – Minnetonka What a wonderful dining experience! From start to finish, everything flowed beautifully — even with a surprise 20-top arriving while we were there. Our server, **Sam**, was EXCELLENT!!🌟 She handled everything with grace, professionalism, and a warm smile that made us feel genuinely cared for. Her timing, attentiveness, and positive energy elevated the entire evening — she’s a true gem and a reflection of great hospitality. We were also so impressed by the **manager**, who personally stepped in to bring out our appetizers with such kindness and professionalism. It showed true leadership and teamwork — and we noticed! 👏 The food was delicious, the atmosphere vibrant, and the service absolutely top-notch. Thank you, Tavern Grill team, for going above and beyond to make our evening special. We’ll definitely be back — and asking for Sam! 💛🙌“

“I flew in all the way from Detroit to Minneapolis Minnesota to visit my all time favorite restaurant. It was a dream come true that it reopened. I have been looking for the ChiChis fix for over 20 years. It was well with the trip and well worth the wait. The chimichanga ( with the Diablo sauce) was exactly how I remembered it. I got the chicken one day, and the beef the next day. A+. The chicken tortilla soup was superb! The original chips and salsa, margarita and fried ice cream was the topping on the cake. Exactly, how I remembered it. Both so good. My daughter got the cheese and the chicken enchiladas and elotes (corn) and she was highly impressed! I got everything with extra Diablo sauce because I had been missing that key ingredient to Chimichangas. The ChiChi’s Diablo sauce. My trip was made extra worth it when the founder of ChiChis son, and current owner, Michael, I believe, came to the table to thanked me for coming from so far away to enjoy ChiChi’s and asked how was everything. I told him first I wanted to Thank him, for bringing our childhoods and favorite restaurant back, and that everything was excellent!!! I was 100% satisfied. No complaints at all. He gave me the history of the ChiChis name!! Very nice guy!!! - He did say that corn 🌽 cake was probably coming back. I am back in Detroit and attempting to plan my next trip. I am having ChiChis withdrawals once again, just like it was 2004. I hope they come back to Michigan soon. Do yourself a favor! Visit ChiChis. You won’t be disappointed. Great food. Great service. The best chimichanga on earth!!“
