Scallops!
Paige N.

Went to celebrate my father's birthday at Baja Haus last night! It's a Mexican restaurant with ocean style. The staff were so nice and professional, with great recommendations and phenomenal food! My dad loved, and so did the rest of the family! I had the scallops, which were delicious with pork belly and mushroom/Mexican corn roulade. Delish!

Ceviche

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is right by the lake. Prime location near the other restaurants we've dine at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Looks like they had a beach theme, with wood and pictures of the ocean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We chose the restaurant week option. Their guacamole was good and steak was delicious. It had some spicy sauce on top. We couldn't even eat the dessert but took them home. Service was great, our waitress checked in on us often.

We had heard about how great this place was and as a lover of Mexican it was game on. The decor and layout are very cool. The food, both temp and taste were disappointing. Flavorful meats and hot food were not a part of our journey that night and for Wayzata and a meal for 5 that is 125 for burritos and tacos we expect better. I would rank it lower but other yelp friends swear by it ....

Grilled fish taco
Rachael M.

I had been wanting to go here forever & finally made the visit! What a cute and bright spot in Wayzata! The inside was actually a lot bigger than I imagined. We sat at the bar & actually had the owner as a bartender. He was super nice & informative. We got the Tequila Miso Wings first which were really yummy! They are baked & then fried & so delish!!! I wouldn't mind a little more meat, but they were super juicy! Sweet corn- this was tasty - it's made with Grilled corn, cotija cheese, mayo, traditional seasoning. It was nicely seasoned and I'd get it again. Brussel sprouts- Buffalo style, with cotija cheese, xoxo sauce & tortilla chips. These were unique and fun! Tacos- I got the Chicken Tinga & the bf got the Grilled fish. The chicken was nice, but I'd like if the tortilla was grilled. It was cold which gave a dry effect. They came with sides of rice & beans which were both good! Tres Leches- omg this was soft and moist. So delish!

Chicken Mole Enchiladas
Matt H.

I've been wanting to come here since they opened. Loved the vibes and cocktails (margarita and matador both good), chips and queso/guac/salsa were ok. (Queso and salsa both very mild. Guac light on lime.) Biggest disappointment was the mole enchiladas. I'm a HUGE mole fan and had high hopes, but the mole was the wrong consistency (a thick paste instead of a sauce), didn't have much flavor and there wasn't enough of it to keep the chicken from being dry. Artfully presented but needs some more attention to the basics. I would come back and try some other dishes.

Yuca fries and cheese curds
Elijah W.

Baja house is the perfect place for good Mexican food and a good vibe. It knocks any typical Mexican restaurant out of the water in terms of food, service, and ambiance. I'd definitely try to be there for happy hour to get the yuca fries and cheese curds. Our server was also great but I didn't catch his name otherwise I'd definitely give him a shoutout.

Niman Ranch Ribeye
Kayer V.

Went here for Restaurant Week Feb 2022. My sister raves about their Niman Ranch Ribeye that she can't get off her mind. We decided with a condensed menu we can try all the favorites. My husband had the Niman Ranch Ribeye and I had the Divers Scallops. I got to taste a little from everyone's dishes as well. It came as a 3 course meal, I had the Caesar Salad which had the perfect amount of dressing, and not overpowering. My husband had the ceviche which was sour and sweet. The Ribeye was perfectly cooked and it melted in my mouth. I'd recommend eating and dipping it with all the sauces on your plate. The scallops were sweet and savory. My type of seafood. I can't wait to go back

Emilee J.

Phone never eats first here. My first experience was incredible, my second was a bit off but understandably since you never get that good of a thing twice. The corn as always met up to expectations, however the service lacked. For your top experience, I highly recommend sitting inside where a waiter will regularly check in. We had a long wait even though it wasn't a busy night, but otherwise the food was pretty dang good and I'd still return out of respect for that. Tacos are always the way to go and don't forget a marg.

We had cocktails to start and they were crafted well and delicious. I had the pink 75 and it was not overly sweet but was refreshing. We started with the Parker house rolls, shrimp cocktail and the onion and caviar dip. Very tasty and I would order again. The soup with lobster was especially good as was the cavatelli.

Connor answered all of our questions about the menu, and when we inquired about a specific bottle of wine, he brought it to our table so we could take a closer look. I appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile. The food was excellent. We started with the Parker House rolls, which I will not soon forget. I only wish I could have taken a dozen home with me! We also shared the Caesar salad. For our entrées, we had the roast chicken and the beef tenderloin, both of which were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Sadly, we didn't have room for dessert, but the Bananas Foster our neighboring table was enjoying looked spectacular. Perhaps next time I'll save room. The only downside is that it does get quite loud as the restaurant gets busy. On my next trip to the Minneapolis area, I'll certainly be back.

The ambiance is bright, lively, and energetic without feeling overwhelming. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive. We were seated promptly, and our server was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable when offering menu recommendations. Throughout the meal, service remained efficient and attentive despite the restaurant being quite busy. We started with the lobster guacamole, which was outstanding and packed with flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the lobster roll, and it did not disappoint. The lobster was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, while the toasted roll complemented it perfectly. It's easily one of the better lobster rolls I've had and was a highlight of the meal. Other dishes at our table included wings, flatbread, and the cauliflower dip, all of which were excellent. Portions were generous across the board, especially the apple crisp, which was large enough to share and a great way to finish the meal. What truly sets this place apart is the atmosphere. The restaurant buzzes with activity, creating a vibrant setting where friends and families can gather, socialize, and unwind. Between the lake views, beautiful décor, and lively crowd, it has an energy that makes you want to linger and enjoy the experience. The pricing felt reasonable for the quality of the food, service, and overall setting. With delicious food, attentive service, and one of the most inviting atmospheres around, this is a place I would gladly return to and highly recommend for lunch, dinner, or special occasions.

He seemed to enjoy talking to other staff more than his tables and as a past server, that annoyed me, especially since we would have ordered another round of drinks. The flatbread was really flavorful. The sushi was underwhelming especially for the price. My Hugo spritz was delicious. I wouldn't go back on purpose but might if we're on the lake again.

The most uncomfortable thing is finding a place to park. If you can't find a spot in the lot, tracking down a street spot that isn't only 1 hour can be a challenge or a bit of a walk. We started with cocktails and Bread is Life appetizer (5/5). Bread is indeed life. We needed two baguettes to eat the three butters/sauces. The whipped ricotta and honey was my favorite, but the chimichurri was a close second. For entrees we split the Beet and Watermelon King Salmon Salad (3/5), A Fat Burger (5/5), Chilled Lobster Roll (4/5), and the Spicy Lobster Mac and Cheese (5/5). The salad was good, but the salmon didn't have enough seasoning for me. It's also more of a traditional watermelon salad vs lettuce salad. The lobster roll was good, but of course mostly bread. It was a hardy sandwich and filled more than other restaurants. The burger was in fact fat, cheesy and juicy. The sandwiches come with hand cut fries (5/5) and an aioli. While the Mac and cheese says it's spicy, it's more of a Minnesota spice. It's a shareable portion, but no more than 3 people if they have other food. For dessert we ordered the Mud Moon Pie (4/5). When they say it's served with a knife they mean it. The portion size is huge! Like 6-12 people could eat on it. We ended up sharing with the table next to us. We were warned it was shareable, but I wish there would have been a smaller portion option to select. We felt so wasteful not being able to eat even half of it. We loved our server. We never felt rushed, our water glasses were never empty and she split the bill with our individual dishes and then split the shared items (I love when they do this vs giving us one bill). While the prices are a little high, the portion sizes and quality of food make it worth it.

We made a reservation on both occasions but didn't have to make it too much in advance so it's always worth checking on. Service is always spectacular with a huge attention to detail and really customized spiels about the menu. The things I've recently tried for drinks have included the spritz del ambratta, the fiore, and a sparkling red from their wine selection. I find myself going back to the Fiore and would recommend that most although their wine is a solid selection as well. In my opinion, the best starter combination is the focaccia plus the lemony beans. The focaccia is solid and it's so good to dip in the mixture that the beans are doused in. The Caesar was decent as well but you can't miss with that other combo. Then, of course, the mains. If you love creamy pasta, do yourself a favor and get the cavatelli. One of my favorite dishes I've had there; I kept almost comparing it to an adult Mac and cheese. Great for sharing if creamy pastas are a bit too rich for your liking. The lasagna is always a close second and you can't go wrong with it. My friend adored the pickle pizza and I thought it was solid too although I would still probably get the cavatelli or lasagna if you are between that and the pizza. Another great shareable. The saffron spaghetti was decent with some really good bite from the noodles and the taste of saffron really coming through, but I would probably get those other dishes before I would order that. On the first occasion, I was there we were celebrating two of my friends' 30th birthdays and H&S did such a good job of celebrating and making them feel special plus they brought out French silk pie cannolis for us plus glasses of sparkling wine, so I would highly recommend this place as a celebratory dinner. I hope it becomes a big mainstay in twin cities/twin cities adjacent cuisine.

Here's my review of the food we ordered: Cocktail of the hour - aka "Golden Hour" - 8.5/10 Reminded me of mulled cider, notes of honey, very refreshing Pork Belly Steam Buns - 8.1/10 Nice texture, very tender and flavorful Mini Banh Mi - 7/10 Not bad, would have preferred the more traditional pork filling Crispy Chicken- 8.7/10 This really surprised me, from appearance the chicken didn't look that special but it was well seasoned and the sweet chili glaze really stole the show and elevated this dish! Mirabelle Smash Burger - 8.9/10 I'm a sucker for smash burgers and this one did not disappoint. Nice crispy bun and a special mustard sauce that we enjoyed and a different flavor I don't usually have on my burger Sticky Ribs - 5/10 Unfortunately these were quite dry and was comparing to sticky ribs I had last week at CoV that were fall off the bone Overall good spot, service, atmosphere, and would be happy to return.

Very close to the lake(walking distance) There is a free parking ramp right behind the building. The decor of this place is cute! The details seem like they were well thought out! It feels upscale and cozy! I saw a video of this place and that was what originally drew me in! The seating here is also comfortable and not over crowded. Our server was ok. I saw so many raves about the "amazing service." She did refill our water glasses, which was good because I needed it with the salty steak! Obviously the most important piece is the food. We started with the popovers. The taste was fine but the texture was almost over done. The honey butter was lacking honey flavor. Cinnamon would have really elevated the butter! I got the steak frites and my sister got the spaghetti. My fries were average. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium all the way through! I was impressed. However, it was drowning in a VERY salty sauce! I had push a lot of it off. This should be served on the side, not covering the whole steak. My sister got the spaghetti, which our waitress explained was not a regular spaghetti. I feel she has probably had to do that multiple times and honestly, it should just be renamed. It's confusing for the customer. My sister did say she enjoyed the dish and that the shrimp was ere done well. For dessert I got "Aunties iced latte" which is their version of like an espresso martini. It was just ok. Would not get again. We got the carrot cake which was good!! But then they ruined it by putting fake whipped cream.... This is supposed to be a higher end restaurant and that made the dessert feel so cheap. We also got the creme brûlée. DO NOT ORDER THAT! It is an absolute waste of money! The sugar top was so thick we couldn't eat it! The dessert had the consistency of scrambled eggs, not a smooth custard. The taste seemed ok, but whoever made this does not know what they are doing! Overall, the food was not memorable and a lot of it was done poorly. There are definitely better restaurants in the area.

There is a good cocktail, wine, and beer menu with Guinness, of course, and several Irish whiskeys. My server, Bill, was a delight. We talked about our dogs (mini dachshund for me, Malinois for him) and our shared love of Costa Rica. I ended up ordering the French Onion soup and a Lobster Roll with fries. The soup came out first and it was just as sumptuous and beefy as I hoped. The melted Gruyère and caramelized onions made a hearty starter. The Lobster Roll was perfect: chopped lobster on a warm, buttered, toasted roll topped with slivers of pickled carrots. The lobster was chilled and didn't need any dressing at all. The fries were plentiful, thin, and perfectly crispy yet still tender inside. A home run. Excellent food, warm and welcoming atmosphere, and terrific staff made it a delightful lunch. Thanks, Bill! ;)
