Best Cozy Restaurants in Lake Elmo

We went to celebrate our anniversary and were absolutely delighted. From the moment we arrived, the staff made a beautiful gesture by decorating our table with little hearts and welcoming us with two glasses of delicious sparkling wine. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The appetizer—crispy pork belly with guasacaca sauce—was bursting with flavor. For the main course, the fish was perfectly cooked with fresh, well-balanced flavors, and the “Domingo” grill was amazing: juicy meat, flavorful sausages, and the morcilla was simply perfect. The cocktails were also a highlight—very tasty, fresh, and beautifully served with attention to detail. And the dessert… what a treat! It was one of the things we loved the most. The combination of flavors was incredible and the perfect way to end a night of delicious food. The service was impeccable. The entire staff was kind, attentive, and gave us great recommendations. We absolutely recommend this place 100%. From today on, it’s officially one of our favorite restaurants. An experience worth repeating!

Beautiful views on golf course. Service was very friendly and spot on. Music was so much fun during dining. Food was very flavorful. Portions could have been more. But overall it was amazing experience

Overall good experience per usual. We were one of the last tables of the evening and there was lots of closing cleaning going on all around us. The food and service was great. Just felt like we were staying past our welcome as the last table. Got there at 8:15, I didn’t anticipate it feeling so late.
