Very good meal with great staff.
I very much appreciated that the holiday/Christmas decorations were put up ahead of time. 11/20/20
It made the evening 100% more enjoyable and festive.
Amazing! Celebrated our 21st anniversary at Lake Elmo in and they went out of their way to make it special for us including free glasses of champagne.
If you’ve not been to Lake Elmo Inn, make it a point to do so once the restaurants can open up again. If you can’t wait, get the takeout. The food is excellent, as well as the service. In all the years I’ve dined at LEI, I’ve never had a bad experience.
Everything was good. I didn’t expect the hot towel, strawberry etc. to not be complimentary. They don’t tell you it’s not until you get the bill.
Perfect service and food. Anniversary was one to remember thanks to the staff and experience
Service was outstanding and food was delicious
We love this quaint and special place. The decorations and food are already on point.
Wonderful staff, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was everything we were hoping for and more!
This place never disappoints. At least once a year trip required.
We had a new server( Michael). He did a great job and the food was excellent as always.
I felt they were very covid friendly. Spaced apart very well. Sunnies were great. Balsamic sauce on veggies not so good. Veggies don’t need that.
The LEI is ALWAYS a lovely experience! The food is consistently delicious and the ambiance is always comforting.
Very nice anniversary dinner
Always enjoyable, staff is friendly and professional, food has been exceptional.
Celebrating my birthday with 2 friends. Our wait person was exceptional. We all felt very safe and cared for in this time of covid. Thank you!
Great lunch with a bottle of wine and
Wonderful food. Wonderful staff. Love this place.
My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary at Lake Elmo Inn. Nancy, our server was friendly, informative about the entrees and provided wonderful service. We wished we could have the kitchen wouldn't have run out of the potato of the day, scalloped potatoes. We' wanted to try the desserts, they looked delicious but didn't have room left! We'll be back!
It was our anniversary dinner and I put in a note on OpenTable that it was for our anniversary. We were seated with complimentary champagne!
This place is a dinner club with great charm.
All of the food was delicious. Best calamari I can remember having. Wife got the scallops, they were amazing. I got the filet mignon cooked medium and it was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor.
I would recommend this place to everyone and get that sin of the inn dessert at the end of your meal. Amazing.
Great social distancing practices. Food was beyond amazing. We felt very comfortable and at ease during these crazy times here

Great as always. Thank you for being there during these crazy times.
Food was not all that great— service was great, the food just didn’t match up. The prawns were over cooked and duck was very dry.
great saturday brunch menu, awesome service, it was a birthday and got special treatment. love the caramel rolls
The Elmo burger was juicy and perfectly prepared
When the superfoods salad was served it was not what I expected but it is very excellent and if you like the ingredients you won’t be disappointed
Great flavors to savor and was more filling than I had thought it would be at first
We've been going to Lake Elmo Inn for over 30 years. Food, Service, and Atmosphere is always great. Never disappointed.
It’s always a fantastic experience. So glad you are still open!
Love this place definitely going back
The food was not hot. Egg Benedict and hash browns like warm Also Halibut was delicious but also not hot.
Had high expectations based on feedback from others and other reviewers online. We were highly disappointed, service was subpar and the food was mediocre at best (had a filet mignon and ribs).
Becky is an outstanding server. Walleye looked great. I had pecan crusted chicken salad. I wouldn’t have that again. It was just ok. Great coffee
The server was excellent and the Saturday brunch special was a great deal.
