50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Mounds View

“Recipes created by the original owner passed down to the daughter who is catering to all the patrons with a smile. It makes our visit very welcoming and she goes above and beyond by answering all quest we have. We had a combo appetizer and a beef with coconut flavor. They have my favorite siswi only on Saturdays. Very tasty and definitely will come again and try the other options on the menu.“

“Gigantic servings! Delicious food!“

“I have only heard about this place due to the club that opens there at 10, and decided to try the dinner menu with my mom. I was not disappointed! We both got a beverage, appetizer and an entree. There was a slight issue with one of the entrees and our server and manager took great care of us. Will highly recommend this to other friends and family!“

“Очень вкусно , красивое стильное место, очень понравилось.“

“We stopped here on December 24th looking for fresh lutefisk and were pleased to find we could buy a 5lb filet. The lutefisk was amazing I was told and in the future we will be sure to call ahead and place the order. The manager was running back and forth with several options before we decided to just buy the 5lb filet. I can say I was amazed, they cooked it in the oven and when I returned that evening I could hardly smell anything other than the usual air fresheners we have in the house.

So thanks again for helping keep a Christmas tradition alive and hope the girls hockey team does great.“

“We stumbled upon "Barwaqo" as it's now called when we were headed to the Electric Fetus for a book signing event; apparently this place changed hands about a month ago (Oct 2023) so previous reviews under the old Cala name are not relevant. We felt very welcomed by the owner and staff, and had an amazing dinner of Somali chicken and rice, sambusa, and the spinach dish which game with roasted goat and a fava bean soup with glutinous rice cakes. Everything was fresh and delicious and obviously made with a lot of care, and all of the food we got only came to about $45. We were thrilled to have randomly taken a chance on an unknown place and we will go back in the future. When we talked to the owner outside afterwards, I asked one of the staff what "barwaqo" means in Somali and he said "gift" but when I looked it up, it means "prosperity." Take a chance on this place at the corner of Clinton/Franklin instead of the Wendy's across the street!“

“These folks have known how to do fine dining for decades. One of my favorites growing up and now I take my own kids.“

“The meals are consistently fantastic. I’ve never had a bad meal at this restaurant over the last few years. The ingredients are high quality, fresh, and well prepared. The dishes come out delicious every time. It makes dining incredibly easy when I know I can choose anything on the menu and it will be great. The service is also incredible. Knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly staff. The dining and bar areas are equally beautiful in distinctive ways. Very pleasing to the eye. Zelo is a must try downtown, and if you do, it will become one of your go to restaurants for a nice night out.“

The molten lava cake was ok but the crème brûlée was our favorite.“

“On top of having great service the food was amazing. I had half a dozen Oysters, they were delicious and the King Crab leg with there ranch and cheese mashed potatoes. It was a lot of food but the best I’ve had. I’d say they were as good as or better than the Oceanaire downtown Minneapolis. Bill was $180 before the tip.“

“The best sushi downtown at an amazing price 🤤“

“The other week, I was in the northern metro suburbs and started to get hungry. I drove past Sarna's Grill in Columbia Heights and, judging by the building's welcoming appearance, decided to park and give it a try (though I know that doesn't necessarily mean the food or service will be good).\n\nThat said, my decision was bolstered by the spacious, inviting interior, wide aisles, booths filled with couples and families, and the waitstaff delivering trays of appetizing food.\n\nA friendly waitperson greeted me at my table and offered me a menu with a variety of options, from burgers and salads to complete meals, including pasta and hot turkey or beef.\n\nI chose the BLT on artisan whole wheat with a side of coleslaw. It looked so tempting that I took a bite of half the sandwich before realizing I hadn't taken a picture of the food. What you see in the attached image is the mouth-watering inside of the delicious BLT.\n\nAs it turned out, I had an hour to kill. After finishing my meal, I asked if I could hang out for a while. The friendly waitperson said I could stay as long as I wanted and brought me a cup of coffee to pass the time.\n\nThat kindness made my day and earned her a nice tip. Plus, I promised to return the next time I'm in the neighborhood.“

“The ginger scallion fried lobster here is absolutely amazing — I get it every single time I come! I normally don’t lick my fingers, but I do here and I don’t even care 😂. The food is consistently delicious, the service is great, and the place feels cozy and welcoming, like home. My family has been coming here for over 15 years, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend 100%!“

“This is my favorite restaurant. Get the pupusas with consomme as a recommendation but I get something different every time and I love it all. my wife enjoys the flautas the most.“

“Great food and staff! A lot of fun.“

“5 stars great food and great service!!!!“

“I've written 3 reviews in the last hour.... None of them show up. Same reviews get shown over and over. 35 years I've been going there, never again. Down hill“

“Great authentic Cantonese restaurant, were friendly staff and got super good food. Menu is pretty long but you can find very good food from there.“

“I ordered the beef ribs and pork ribs with their 5 cheese baked Mac and cheese and it was absolutely delicious!!! The pork ribs were a bit salty but if you eat it with the BBQ sauce they provide it's amazing I got them with the side Mac and the Mac was soooo good! You can tell there are 5 different cheeses and it wasn't dry! The pork ribs came with about 4 ribs and a few ends. The beef ribs are pretty big and came with 2 and an extra end. Next time I order I will definitely be getting just the beef ribs in my opinion they were better they had a bit of spice to them and weren't too salty! Baked Mac and cheese 9/10 just wish it came with a little more. Pork ribs 6/10 they were too salty but decent. Beef ribs 9/10 perfectly seasoned just wanted a little more moisture.“

“The food is amazing and has a good price“

“More options than most local poké restaurants. Artfully crafted custom bowls are their specialty. Plan to take time to review their substantial menu of traditional poké favorite ingredients. Several salmon and tuna choices along with other protein options allow for a variety of tasty options.
Be sure to try their pickled radish option, it's mouth watering.“

“Very reasonable and everything we ordered was amazing. Definitely check them out!“

“Best Margaritas - Very Friendly - Fabulous Food. We LOVE This Place!“

“muy excelente atención y la comida muy rica y deliciosa 😋 muy bonito“

“Our service from Naomi was impeccable. She was very nice and attentive. The chicken wings were crispy outside and tender inside, just how I like them. The wild mushroom and spinach ravioli was delicious. The ribeye steak was very flavorful. Even the French fries were super tasty, crispy outside and tender inside. We had one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time.“

“The chicken is FIYA LOL FR I'm picky and I don't like most people's food I'm from Memphis so I'm very particular about how food taste especially being in Minnesota this is the only chicken that taste anything close to home. I'm addicted lol“

“Love love love!! The food and service are top-notch 👌“

“Great food with great prices. A solid environment to enjoy a good meal. We go for Rotary meetings every month and they are very gracious to us.“

“Great food, excellent service, loved the family style serving with metal serving spoons! Not sure but I kind of have a feeling, that we were served by the owner? she is a great dynamo of a personality! Szechuan beef and kung pao chicken.“

“I don’t think I’ve been quite disappointed this much to be honest. Everything was too salty, the gizzards were so tough I had to throw it away…. Perch was salty, coleslaw was alright. It is too bad I had this experience because I was really hoping for a good fish place to come once a week“
