Incredibly delicious! The “KFC” (Korean bbq fried cauliflower) as a starter is scrumptious, and the Loco Moco with seared ahí is truly something to write home about. Must try!!
I recently visited Lake and Irving for dinner before a concert. Nate our server was amazing. He was attentive to the table's needs and gave great recommendations. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality were amazing. I'll be making it a point to come back.

First time eating here. The food was delicious. They have some unique options. Had a really tasty cocktail as well. Service was wonderful. Definitely recommend checking it out. I had the hanger steak with the ghost pepper sauce on the side.

So far I've only been to try the Restaurant Week menu, but I can't wait to get back. The atmosphere is so lovely (think cozy, warm bistro), the staff are incredibly friendly and professional, and the food is delicious. They do have a parking lot, but it's small and does fill up fast, so you may need to park on the street. It's free, though, so not a problem at all.

Their buttermilk chicken sandwich is “life changing”. As are a few apps and the delicious salmon quinoa salad.

I've been coming here for years for brunch and dinner, so this review is a little late, but I was recently reminded why I love this place. Outstanding food and service. With restaurants closing left and right, it's more important than ever to keep neighborhood places like this thriving. No notes.

One of my favorite place to come. An amazing hamburger. Has a wonderful outdoor seating location on the side of the restaurant.
Yesterday I had dinner at Lake & Irving for the first time. An amazing experience - - world class. Started with a terrific Old Fashioned, followed by a starter, Lobster Arancini: Lobster Claw Meat, Smoked Gouda, Chive - - scrumptious! For main course I chose Seared Ahi Tuna: Roasted Carrot Cream, Kabayaki Green Beans, Cabbage, Celery Root - each bite of each was an explosion of awesome flavor and texture! Finished with Churro Fried Cheesecake - - divine! This restaurant had not been on my radar, until it was listed in Restaurant Week. It's now on my radar for good! A few months ago, I embarked on a tasting journey to visit the 200 top-rated restaurants in the Twin Cities area. So far I've visited 50+ restaurants - - including Spoon & Stable, Alma, Maison Margaux, Porzana, Owamni, Khaluna, Gai Noi, Herbst, Joan's in the Park, Mara, Meritage, Stepchld, Tilia, and many more. My meal yesterday ranks in the top 5 meals I've had! Congratulations to the chef, and to everyone on the team for making my experience world-class!

You should NOT eat the Luxe Burger as it will ruin all other burgers for you. Make sure to try the other entree's first because once you get the Luxe Burger you won't ever want to eat anything else here. Unless you maybe come with friends and you all get different appetizers to share and you nibble on some things here and there. But when the server (I think his name is Joe) brings the Luxe Burger to your table you will immediately forget about the appetizers and become visibly aggressive as you eat the Luxe Burger and your taste buds savor every drop of the truffle sauce. Your eyes will widen and your heart rate will increase and you won't even care that they don't have ranch for your fries and when you scarf down the last bite you will wonder how you have survived without this burger. The outdoor patio is super cute.

Went for brunch and it was tasty food. Great atmosphere and a menu with lots to choose from. Parking in back too! I had the ghost bowl and it had kick so I had it on the side. Great mix of avo, pickled onions, egg, crispy potatoes etc. I may have to order again. Brussels sprouts got eaten so fast there's no photo! Eggs Benedict and an Asian slaw salad made our table amazing.

The cesar chicken wrap was delicious and they have a wide variety of beers.
