Lake Elmo Inn

Perfection from beginning to end. Never disappoints, always special. Staff, food, setting. Only downside is parking is a hot mess.

Legendary. Crab Mac and cheese. Brunch!!! The desserts are Devine! You have to go for prime rib. I love to supper club feel. Can be a little spendy, but well worth it the portions are huge and the food is SO SO good. You WILL have left overs. And if you don't, that's ok becuase it was so good you couldn't leave any behind!

First time back to this restaurant in 20+ years. It was the same great establishment I remembered. The staff is incredible (thanks, Jody for your service and making this a memorable night out!) and the restaurant continues to be very popular for a number of reasons. We started with cocktails at the bar and the bartenders were friendly and entertaining. You can reserve a seat at the bar for dinner if that interests you. Our table started with the Scooter pie appetizer which highlighted tender sirloin and perfectly cooked vegetables. The sorbet palate cleanser after the appetizer was a nice touch. We all selected the cranberry dinner roll which was tasty but quite tiny. And they give you just one roll per person. Our entrées included the fillet which was deemed exceptional; the walleye, which I thought was perfectly cooked and included a generous portion. Another entrée included the daily halibut special which, unfortunately, was a little underwhelming although perfectly prepared. And another entrée was the sunnies which were fantastic and generously portioned. The sauces that accompanied the fish dishes were exceptional. Highly recommend!

Made reservations for lunch before going to set up for taking photos as the official photographer at a dog show. Service was fantastic, and he asked if we had any food concerns and let the kitchen know that we did and that changed some of our order. Love a place that lets you know how to eat safely. Food was wonderful as usual and that's part of what keeps us coming back every time we are in the area. Ambiance is comfortable and somewhat fancy. Definitely would work for business, friends, and romantic meals. Give this lace a try.

This restaurant is top notch! From the minute you walk in to the minute you leave you'll experience first class service, friendly smiles, and impeccable food. Apps included Reuben truffles and pot stickers. Both were ok. I had the braised beef with vegetable of the day, linguine and added a scallop. Beef was fork tender and scallop was to die for! Vegetable of the day was your average mixed veg and linguine was so-so; butter cheese sauce was broken and sort of gritty. Another party member had jumbo shrimp with red potatoes and upgraded to grilled asparagus. They were the biggest jumbo shrimp I've ever seen. Dish was given rave reviews. Last guest had the special of the night: blackened halibut with mixed veg and linguine. Halibut was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Dessert included their signature torte and white cake layered with strawberries and cream. Torte was fabulous. Unfortunately the cake was less than sub-par. Overall, this place is a hidden gem in downtown Lake Elmo. Highly recommend. Atmosphere is elegant and classy.
