“I figured it would take 10 more years of social progress before we saw a restaurant with the culinary artistry and European panache of Bode Gray’s in Waconia. Nestled in a town known for its conservative charm but largely uninspired franchise-laden gastronomic landscape, Bode Gray’s stands as a beacon of epicurean brilliance. Upon entering this culinary sanctum, one is immediately enveloped in an ambiance that whispers sophistication. The decor, a harmonious blend of modern minimalism and classic European elegance, sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is nothing short of a magnum opus. Each dish is a testament to the chef’s virtuosity, a symphony of flavors that dance upon the palate with an almost transcendental finesse. From the Roasted Duck that tantalizes the taste buds with a promise of the delights to come, to the pièce de résistance that leaves one in a state of gastronomic rapture, every bite is an odyssey of taste. The culinary offerings are an eclectic mix of traditional European techniques and avant-garde innovation, resulting in a tapestry of flavors that is as complex as it is sublime. The Tortellini alla Casper, for instance, is a masterclass in rustic refinement, its velvety sauce and tender meat a homage to the culinary traditions of Burgundy. The Roasted Squash Risotto, a creamy dream infused with the earthy essence of pepitas could easily hold its own against the finest trattorias of Milan. What truly sets Bode Gray’s apart, however, is its astonishing affordability. In a metropolitan setting, one would expect to pay a princely sum for such gastronomic grandeur, yet here, in the heart of Waconia, one can indulge in a feast fit for royalty at a fraction of the cost. It is, quite simply, a revelation. The only place serving better cocktails than the restaurant itself are made manifest by the enlightened mixologists through the rear entrance of The Brass Hat, an attached Speakeasy that transcends you into the era of prohibition characterized by the same heroic opposition that envisioned Bode Gray’s arrival in a town never before acquainted with the culinary divine. Here, the cocktails are not mere drinks but exquisite libations meticulously concocted with an almost alchemical precision, each sip a journey through the esoteric and the divine. In summation, Bode Gray’s is not merely a restaurant; it is a culinary pilgrimage, a testament to what is possible when culinary passion meets artistic ingenuity. To dine here is to experience the zenith of gastronomic delight, and for this, we owe a debt of gratitude to the culinary visionaries behind this extraordinary establishment.“

“Love Papa Murphy’s it’s our go to once a month.
Would love to see the gluten free pizza on sale with all the other pizzas or just a flat $3 off of a gluten free pizza.
It is a lot more money and only a size medium.
I have Celiac Disease so I can only order the gluten free items.“

“Waconia unhinged: Last week we got home and realized we had the wrong order but we live out of the delivery range so they placed a refund on our account. Today I called to use our free meal. The manager was so accommodating! She asked what had happened and apologized again. She told me they weren’t open but she would still cook our order and upgraded our size! So unexpected!!! Thank you again unhinged!“

“We have been to this restaurant a few times & every time it is consistently busy. Sometimes they have evening specials.
They have a nice selection of pull tabs, which my mom loves! We had the deep-fried cheese curds with drinks & we were pleasantly surprised at how great they were with their homemade dressings. It came out quickly. It was hot, cheesy, & melty. The bartenders worked well together, across the board, they took care of all the bar customers & the restaurant seats. The bartenders & the expediters worked flawlessly together to make sure all the customers in the restaurant were satisfied. Was impressed.
Parking: This is a bar with a small bowling alley attached. It's not family-friendly. But parents do bring their kids in from time to time. The later in the evening the louder the music and beverages are flowing, and at that point would be when families should probably leave.
Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a couple of tables of low-tops that could accommodate a wheelchair. They are tucked away in the back corner.
Brighten it up. Make it more inviting & get rid of the dark lighting.“
