“If it were not for Potters Pasties, I would not be married. They are the best of the best. They are better than the pasties from Michigan and have various flavors and types. Thank you very much, and the food is very yummy. I will come back many times.“
“We went here twice this past week. Once for lunch (inside). We had the poutine and a couple of locally crafted beers. The second time was after my husband's conference and we sat outside on the rooftop patio. The staff were very friendly, got our orders right, checked back to make sure we were happy. During the first visit, we sat inside and watched English Premiership Football with a very crowded bar filled with fans from both sides. The atmosphere (looked like a traditional British Pub) was great, food was good, beer was tasty and staff were fantastic! We'd definitely come back here again.“
“Had a great dinner at Merlin's Rest Pub Minneapolis. I had the delicious beef and mushroom stew and the wife and son had burgers. We had a scotch egg and the very delicious brussel sprouts with bacon. Had a black velvet which is Guinness and Strongbow cider. My wife had a white Russian. We got to hear some nice bagpipes playing for us. A very warm and homey British pub. Highly recommend.“
“My 94-year-old grandfather, Quentin Johnson, used to work here from 1947 to 1951 as a busboy and fry cook. Fast forward 73 years later, he took me here for my 27th birthday. We both had the signature Henry VIII hamburger, which he used to broil back in the day. It was a wonderful meal. The restaurant and inn are beautiful, rich in history, and very charming. As my grandpa put it, "This is what you call 'Class.'"Tonight was particularly special because we had the honor of speaking with Mike Noble, the innkeeper and grandson of founder John Noble. If you get to read this, Mike, thank you for such a special and precious night. My grandpa told me that this was one of the most special nights he's had in years. Hearing him share stories of working at the Normandy and learning that this job put him through college (and housed him while attending Augsburg) really is a big part of his life story and is a lifelong memory I will cherish.The Normandy is a shining example of the quality and care you give to your patrons as well as to your staff. Thank you for keeping such a special place running.Respectfully,Andrew Johnson“
“Retro inside. Great service. I'll be back often! My walleye and chips were delish! I'm picky about my Cole Slaw and next time I'm getting EXTRA. Very YUM. 10/10Parking was easy at 7:30 p.m. but not always true. Worth the hassle.“
“I recently moved here from Arizona and George and the Dragon has become my families go to restaurant. The food is amazing and the price is very affordable. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. I highly recommend you give this place a try if you haven’t yet!“
