Food was good. Drinks are great. But our server Katie was awesome!! Such a great personality!! Will come back just for her.

On Saturday evening, May 30, 2015, our daughter and new son-in-law held their wedding dinner and reception at 6smith restaurant. There were 20 family members who had an early dinner and around 85 friends and family members who were present for the reception from 6:00pm to 11:00pm. Beginning with dinner, the food was outstanding. There was a wide range of items on the menu and everyone thought the food was amazing. My wife had the salmon salad and I had their burger and fries. The salmon salad and burger was outstanding. The salmon and burger were tasty and cooked to perfection. The appetizers at the reception consisted of mini beef sliders, crab sliders, blackened fried shrimp, fried duck wontons, chicken wings, deviled eggs with crab and several salads. All the appetizers were tasty and plentiful. The reception was held in a separate dining area which was partitioned from the rest of the restaurant. Excellent privacy. The lake view from the deck was spectacular!! The restaurant wait staff were awesome and they made sure the appetizer platters were full. We would like to thank Sam, the bartender and the head waitress (can't recall her name) who provided outstanding service. These two individuals know how to treat their customers the right way. We can't say enough good things about the great service they provided. The entire wait team also deserves kudos for the great job they did. Dave and Rose from California read more

Beef cheek nachos are amazing!! Chef is friendly and very creative. I love the atmosphere and the location can't be beat.

Tonight I went to 6Smith with our friends from Wayzata. After ordering drinks we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes (yes, it's not a joke) for our meals. When the food finally arrived, in my case the miso sea bass, it was cold. High price and bad service. read more

Very good happy hour. The food is superb. Arrive as early as you can if it's a Thursday or Friday. We will continue to go back.

I went to 6 Smith for the first time a few weeks ago... definitely going back! Mark is an excellent server. Very great customer service! Catered to all my families needs. Food was excellent as well. read more

Loved this place. I had the lobster gnocchi and it was amazing. My husband had the butter steak, which was a special of the night. It was hands down the best steak I've ever had. It truly tasted like butter. Waitress said it was only on the menu once or twice a year. Cocktails were also great. Will return for sure. read more

Great food and even better experience. We initially went for an anniversary dinner, which was great, but went back for happy hour a few weeks later. The hosts were very helpful, Ryan (server) was happy, energetic, and more than accommodating. When you go, ask for suggestions, we picked what sounded good, but it was just that, good. The suggestions in both cases turned out to be delicious and made a good dinner a great experience. The drink list is great, food is fantastic, and service on both occasions was exceptional. Try the beef sliders. read more

I wish I could give this place more stars, because the food was really good. However our server, Brady, was absolutely appalling. When he finally came to take our order, he started by telling us that he 'hoped we were quick' because he 'was trying to get out of there'. This continued throughout our meal- every time he came over he could only talk about how he was hoping to leave soon. You'd think if he was in such a hurry to leave he could have brought our orders out faster. We also heard him talking like this to the two or three other tables near us. So unprofessional. read more

Great location, decore, and food. Had the ribeye. All steaks are usda prime, something they are proud of. The steak wasn't the best, but deffinately good. I'd like to try the seafood as well, so I hope to go back. Steak was in the 7 out of 10 range. Parking is difficult and limited. Very expensive, but what do you expect for Wayzata Bay?! Service was fairly slow, but I was in a large group and the place was busy, so not sure if that's a one time thing... read more

I've been here over 5 times and each time, is some how better than the last. Great food, drinks, and staff. The quality of food is top notch, can't be beat! read more

Food was great, service was friendly. Nice evening atmosphere. I ordered the salmon, a side of brussel sprouts and a duck appetizer. Everything was cooked perfectly and came out of the kitchen well timed. read more

6smith has a wonderful outlook on what a restaurant should be. Their focus on sustainable and environmentally conscious providers shines through on the menu. All steaks are USDA certified prime, the savory natural flavor is unlike any other restaurant I have tried. Make sure to enjoy a few of the vegetables - Elote Corn, Brussels sprouts, and asparagus to name a few. The craft cocktails are another amazing contribution the menu, I suggest the 46 cinnamon stix with Makers Mark 46 infused in house with apple, vanilla bean and cinnamon sticks! The wine list has a fabulous selection of small production vintners along with a few more well known favorites. The staff is quite knowledgeable on all they provide and encourage questions and conversation. Last but not least, you can't beat the view from their rooftop patio. Definitely a place to keep on your radar. read more

Happy hour was divine! Delicious food, lovely service and the vibe was so great. Fun, upscale, yet inviting. Love it!

I have been to 6Smith a number of times now and always had a great experience. A couple memorable comments. A good friend planned a surprise birthday party and they reserved a private dining space. The service, food, drinks and entire experience made it one of the best birthdays of my life. Second, I just made it a priority to try the "Fat Pants Friday" special for a 4,000 calorie burger that had 3 beef patties, hot dogs, roasted jalapenos, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, bacon and held together with glazed donuts. (Note: Every week is a different special) I also think they have a great bar program. If you like Moscow Mules they have a good one. Looking around I know they have some nice private dining spaces. The 2nd floor outdoor space that looks out over Lake Minnetonka is great. A great addition to the Wayzata area. read more

First time here - restaurant week menu was fantastic! $10 for 2 course lunch that was more than enough food. Had the black shrimp which was tasty;) read more

6Smith - Brunch menu - Seafood Near Me - Wayzata, Minnesota

Had a wonderful dinner last night celebrating with colleagues from out of town. While we couldn't secure a table near the water, our table was in the back and quiet and ended up being ideal for our gathering. Our server couldn't have been better. Excellent suggestions, on top of everything, always there when we needed her but never when we didn't. When we mentioned that three of us don't drink she made perfect recommendations for the mocktails rather than the typical look of disappointment. That is huge for us! Everyone enjoyed their beverages. We shared a bunch of appetizers, the bacon, beef cheek nachos and oysters were fantastic. The entrees were also great. The steaks were solid, the brick chicken was perfectly moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. Even though we were mostly full, our server recommended we share the mud pie. Each of us had 3-4 bites and it was an excellent way to top off the dinner. Great experience- we'll be back and bring more friends! read more

Always great service and amazing food. We love coming here on the boat. Such a fun atmosphere with a good happy hour. Can't complain!

Awesome view, food and great staff!!! $10 Friday lunch burger creation is crazy good!!! read more

6Smith - How is this amazing creation only $10! That is not a tomato on top it's pepperoni! - Seafood Near Me - Wayzata, Minnesota

My favorite place in Wayzata. I have been here, at least, 30 times and every time the service and food has been superior. The prices are in line with Wayzata. From their soups to salads and their Venison Juicy Lucy, they will not disappoint. read more

Service is very good from the start, when they greet you at the door of the restaurant. It was a lovely day and had lunch by the lake. Not especially easy to find, given it is inside a building that says nothing outside. Gourmet food whatever you order. Loved the salads. read more

I have been here about 5 or 6 times. Every time the food is good (not great) however the service is horrible... if you want a nice place in Wayzata there are a lot of other options with good food and good service. Disappointed. read more

Believe the hype, 6 Smith is the real deal. Friendly staff and a cool and inviting atmosphere. However, we came to eat and the food was excellent. Good drink selection with plenty of local brews. We started with one of the oysters of the day and the calamari. Both were superb, the calamari came with an interesting dipping sauce and the oysters were amazingly fresh and tasty. The menu has many intriguing options and it was a struggle to narrow our entrees to 2. I ordered the churrasco style skirt steak, my wife the pork shank. Our server recommended we order a side and we chose the roasted beats, which were very good. The steak plate consisted of a perfectly cooked fried egg, freshly sliced avocado, onion and tomato. The steak was sliced and covered in a light chimichurri sauce. Our server recommended that I mix everything together and use the egg yoke as a sort of hollandaise sauce, which I did. The result was a mind blowingly fresh steak. Really unique meal, I would highly recommend. The pork shank looked appropriate for Game of Thrones, or perhaps the Flintstones. It is a big hunk of tender juicy meat, fat and bone. The flavor and tenderness of the meat was amazing. My wife was overwhelmed by the size so I was able to sample liberally. She said she would have preferred my steak, and I would probably agree. Not became anything was wrong with the pork shank, but because the steak was so good. We will be back many times, its great to see this space used for such a fun and progressive enterprise. It appears to be family friendly as well and we will be back with our kids for burgers, which looked delicious. read more

Awesome ambiance w/ rooftop looking out onto the lake. Every seating area has great views. super friendly & attentive staff. Lots of meat & seafood options. Great tap beer choices. Smoked asparagus was yummy! Clientele feels upscale but you're fine dressing casually. Highly recommend this very welcomed new addition to wayzata! read more

Great outdoor seating. Small wine list. Food was done very well, except calamari had too much soy sauce. Desert menu was kind of plain. Good tap selection at bar. Upstairs outdoor bar was pretty good too. I'd go back read more

Four of us went to 6Smith for dinner on the 4th of July. We spend a fair amount of time in downtown Wayzata as we live close to the area and looked forward to trying the new restaurant. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the deck is spectacular with great views of the lake. We spent the first hour on the deck having drinks and appetizers prior to dinner in the main dining area. The service from both the deck and dining areas was excellent as was the food itself. Without going into too much details, all our our meals met our expectations. However, I was very disappointed - enough to almost make going back a "deal breaker" - with the incredibly small and weak cocktail pours and the fact that the restaurant charges separately for bread service to the table. It seemed strange to serve such a nice meal (decent portions), relatively pricey (but that was expected) but get such incredibly lame drinks and be charged $3.00 for bread to be brought to the table with the meal. The martinis (3 of us ordered) at both the deck and the main dining room were small and poured only to about 3/4 full. The scotch on the rocks was served as if measured out by a shot glass (2 shots). Didn't even come close to the small low ball glass it was served in. While I will likely give it another shot, I think these little items were meaningful in making the overall experience only "okay" rather than "excellent". read more

I went with a group of three of my girlfriends and we were pleasantly surprised, after reading low ratings here on Yelp. We started off on the completely wrong foot with the host/hostess staff. We had a 6:15 reservation and the patio was noted on the reservation. I was told that because we requested the patio it would be 20-25 minutes. So I went to the bar for a tasty "dark and stormy" rum drink (the bartender was very friendly and helpful, by the way) We were seated at 7:20. That is way too long for someone with reservations on a Wednesday night. Definitely something they have to iron out. Luckily, our previous problems were totally wiped from our brains once we sat lakeside and were greeted by a fantastic waiter. He knew the menu inside and out and gave great suggestions. We decided to have a few of the small plates and all share so we could get a good taste of things. We had: beef cheek nachos, sticky balsamic ribs, wedge salad, lobster roll, sweet potato and beet fries, char grilled fresh sweet corn, and two desserts - a chocolate torte and stone fruit cobbler. My favorite plate was the ribs. They were very meaty and tender and I loved the balsamic glaze, however I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone. It's definitely not bbq sauce. The consensus at our table was that the least favorite food was the beef cheek nachos. For $11, they were just chips on a plate with some overcooked, dried cheese and very little beef. Way overpriced for what we got. The wedge salad was good, although I wish they had a homemade ranch dressing available. If you don't like blue cheese, options are limited. I had a creamy balsamic instead that was very good, but ranch would have been better. The lobster roll was good, not great. I didn't try it, but my friend who ate it said it could have used a bit more dressing. That being said, she nearly licked the plate, so it couldn't have been that bad. She also noted that the regular fries that came with it were better than the the sweet potato and beet fries we ordered on the side.. The aioli that came with the fries was great, but there was a weird vinegar on the side that we didn't understand. Who dips fries in vinegar? The corn was awesome. Some didn't like it as much as I did because it was spicy. If you can take a little heat, the corn is delicious! Desserts were very tasty; we liked the chocolate torte better than the cobbler, but the cobbler was still delicious. In all, we will definitely go back. The service and atmosphere makes up for the few shortcomings in the food. Not that the food was terrible - we were very pleased with what we ordered as a whole. With a few tweaks of the menu, it could be excellent. read more

See all

Spent a beautiful afternoon on the rooftop deck. The view is fantastic and the food was delicious. We had shrimp, calamari and the roasted corn elote for appetizers. The corn is excellent and I would highly recommend it. I had the lobster roll for the main course. The wait staff were very friendly and our server was great. We will definitely be back. read more

Nothing not to like about 6smith!! Great décor friendly staff and best views anywhere! Loved the chicken wings and shrimp appetizers! The steaks are world class too! read more

I read the reviews and was ready for.. 1. Parking is horrible... I pulled right in to valet and no issues. 2. Snobby service.. Our waitress was awesome and extremely curtious 3. Slow service.. We had a crew of folks surrounding us.. Never waited.. 4. Food was ok.. Food was good... View was better.. But food good! read more

Very good food, I had the shrimp appetizer, sides of corn and asparagus, but the scallops with gnocchi were the best! Eat outside you can't beat the view. Good beer, wine and cocktail selection. Pretty good service as well, not much bad to say! read more

Met a couple of friends last night for wine and apps. The view on the patio is amazing, wish I could say the same about the food. The fries were unevenly cooked (mostly under cooked) and I never knew that bernaise sauce could be the consistency of mayo. The sunday gravy was greasy and the ricotta had no flavor to it at all. And while the wings had a nice smoke to them, they (like everything else) was underseasoned. Also all our food came out really, really fast (I've been in the industry) which makes me question how their kitchen is operating. I've never had chicken wings come out in under 10 mintues before and our fries came out just after we ordered them. Makes me wonder if they'd been pre-cooked and sitting around before they came out. Another odd thing, for such a large restaurant they only have one restroom each for women and men. And by one restroom I mean one giant bathroom with one toilet. There is a sign directing you to the restrooms in the Boatworks building, but of all of us that visited the ladies, I was the only one to see it. With the folks that are behind this restaurant I expected better. Don't think I'll be back. read more

We had another absolutely fantastic dinner at 6Smith. They've clearly hit their stride, and continue to attract a lot of repeat customers. Everything was top notch. The servers were attentive and polite, the wine selection is very nice, the food was prepared exactly how it was ordered, and the price was fair. We had a lake view table which added to the ambiance. The seafood sampler appetizer was out of this world, the stakes were delicious, and our deserts were a perfect ending to an excellent evening. Thanks to the restaurant and the staff for finally offering a perfect mix of ambiance, food, and reasonably priced higher end restaurant in Wayzata. We'll definitely be back, again. read more

We had a 7:30 dinner reservation on Saturday. We were sat at 8:15. Service was extremely slow. Food was slower. The couple we were with had to return their steaks as they requested medium, but came out well done. We didn't get out until close to 11. I was extremely disappointed as its a beautiful location. If the can figure out the logistics, it will be great. Until then I won't be back. read more

6smith has everything my husband and I look for in a dining experience! We visited for our 2nd time recently and had drinks at the bar, awesome Moscow Mules, and the bartender Steve was attentive and entertaining. When we were seated our server Christian was really knowledgeable and suggested sharing which was a great way to try a few different things. The black pepper shrimp, pot stickers and asparagus are fantastic. Filets cooked perfectly. The view is unbeatable, and the atmosphere is so interesting: cozy, yet industrial/modern. Very fun. This is a great place. Will definitely be back! read more

After driving through a late summer thunderstorm the sun broke through and we were greeted by the friendly hosts and immediately seated at a great table outside overlooking the lake. Stunning décor and view. We were promptly greeted by our fantastic server, Brad and we were well taken care of as we thoroughly enjoyed some very good food. Cocktails were spot on. We started out with the shrimp cocktail which was wonderful with huge shrimp that could only have been U10's . Roasted Brussels Sprouts were just ok but the appetizer ribs were very good, smoky and just right tender. Entree's were all proclaimed excellent. My New York was done to perfection. Tender and flavorful. Others had the pork shank and the hanger steak that were so good that the only sound you could hear was "mmmm" Will have to make it back for more "mmmm" and hope that Brad is still there to take care of us. read more

Nice ambiance, good view of the lake. Easy parking with a large open lot (in summer it might be a lot more difficult). Had the lobster gnocchi and calamari for apps, heirloom tomato salad, and the filet. Everything was good except the gnocchi which was way overdone (tasted more like mashed potatoes). Service was friendly. A bit pricy for the quality, but I might go again if I was in the mood for nice dinner in that part of town. read more

Everyone at 6 Smith provided wonderful service. From the moment we arrived our host was attentive and accommodating. Our server friendly and informative. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Our food was very good. Everyone enjoyed their entree. Steak Salad, Beet Salad with Scallops and Sea Bass. All where excellent. Desert was wonderful :) We will be back for sure, looking forward to outdoor dining this summer. read more

Best restaurant in Minnesota. They sea bass is amazing. It has a super fun atmosphere and the staff are all super helpful! Highly recommended! read more

My husband and I dined here last night for a special occasion. Very nice atmosphere, but a bit loud. We had great service, and the drinks, oysters, appetizer (calamari) and dinners (miso-marinated sea bass and curried shrimp) were all delicious. It's very expensive, so it's a special-occasion place, but we loved it. Can't wait to go back in the summer for the view! read more
