The Vibe!! Feel like I wasted my hunger on an unremarkable eatery, just before stumbling on this place.This spot is both a convenient store and sit down restaurant. The salmon and flatbread come highly recommended. You can even buy Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery cheese. Very cool! read more

Grabbed a quick breakfast at LWKB while transiting through MSP Airport... Quaint little airport restaurant/bar, excellent service (our server Josh was friendly, prompt, and attentive), good solid food, and reasonably priced... LWKB had a nice selection of healthy breakfast options, more on the lighter side. Plus, $40 for breakfast (2 people) at an airport is a "steal" in today's corporate greed economy. If you're looking for a quick bite at MSP Airport, this place is worth the stop. read more

While airport food can really be subpar I was very pleasantly surprised with this! Good quality and variety of wine and food and reasonable prices. I sat at the bar and the service was friendly and fast. I got a glass of Pinot noir and was able to try before I committed to a glass. I also got a turkey sandwich that they were happy to pack up for me so I could bring on my flight. The sandwich was tasty! Fresh ciabatta and all the ingredients were in a good balance with each other. It had turkey, brie, pear, arugula and mustard. read more

Better than average airport food. Veg frittata strangely had almost no veggies. Wheat bread was amazing. Potatoes were 'just OK'. Fruits were fresh and awesome. Food - 3.5/5 Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 4/5 read more

What an awesome airport find! We had terrific service from a very friendly guy who seemed proud to be working at an airport restaurant, which is not something you see every day. And he has good reason to be proud. This restaurant is acting like it's not at an airport. Everything made in house. Wine selection is nice and not outrageously priced. My tummy really wanted something light, and how wonderful that they make a Sage Chicken Noodle Soup. It was a little saltier than I would have preferred, but just the light meal I was hoping for. Even the small pieces of bread with it were good. Husband loved his Mediterranean flatbread. I tasted it too and it was terrific. If you're in Terminal One at MSP and looking for a tasty way to pass some time, I very much recommend this. read more

I'm at a loss as to why I never wrote a review on Lake Wine Kitchen Bar. It's my favorite place to get a bite and a glass or two(lol) of wine while waiting for my flight. But we'll correct that right now. Located about in the middle of the Terminal 1 mall at MSP airport. Very good wine at a good price point. Especially being at a major airport. The service has always been on point and the food is as good or better than any airport I've been too. Always with a smile, and willing to make recommendations on wine and food. The Mediterranean Flatbread was amazing and you just have to give the Spanish Shrimp a try. Just delicious. A perfect place to unwind before your flight. Thank you Lake Wine Kitchen Bar for always making flying a delicious and delightful experience. read more

This is a fool proof option to snag a good meal and glass of wine at MSP. Limited menu but consistently good and something for everyone - from pastas to flatbreads and charcuterie. Tables are always clean and friendly service even during peak times. Quite the feat for airport dining. read more

Pleasantly surprised with our dinner during our layover. The service was very friendly, inviting, and quick! We started with the hummus which came with warm pita, carrots, and celery. We really enjoyed it and the portion was perfect for a small plate starter. For my dinner, I had the arugula salad. It was unique but I enjoyed it. The portion was generous and I added chicken for some extra protein. The price was very reasonable for an airport restaurant as well. The wine list looked great but we couldn't drink since we were working. We will stop in again on another MSP layover. read more

I came to this place as I was craving red wine, specifically Sangria. Turned out their menu did not have sangria so they offered to make me one. The drink turned out to be a mixed drink that tasted awful and nothing like wine. I asked for a re mixing it and making it less alcohol tasting they tried but it was still awful. I asked to change it with Pinot noir and they agreed. The bill came with extra charge for "the drink he had to pour away". I didn't drink whatever he made at all. I clearly asked for a replacement when I was still charged. I understand they are trying to make money but at least provide satisfying service. I don't recommend this place at all. Very deceptive people with low quality drinks and don't have a wide selection of wines either. read more

One of the better airport restaurants. To the point I didn't even look for a lounge. 3 of us were taking United back home on the same week of the Microsoft debacle that caused a dumpster fire for many travelers. The food here is great- I've gotten their poached egg arugula salad with chicken twice now. A bit much on the dressing amount but otherwise, a fantastic and fresh salad. Also, who doesn't want wine while waiting for their flight, especially have a long work trip week. Service is always good. Our first visit was odd- almost every wine I asked for was not available. Weird for a place that calls itself a wine place and has a wine store. read more

Pros: Service is excellent, a small but arrived breakfast menu (can't speak to lunch/supper), at the MSP Airport Cons: Airport prices (/though not bad at all) Details: Due to some flight changes, I had a couple hours to kill. I was heading to a lounge but saw this place and stopped in. The highlight was the Service, specifically Bryan. Super nice and accommodating. It's a somewhat limited menu for breakfast but still a lot of variety. Another plus is they were playing 80s. The place was also super clean and comfortable. Plus, a full bar. Highly recommend. read more

For an Airport Restaurant, the food is excellent and not too bad of a price. For soup, salad and a martini I paid $40. Very pretty bar and nice relaxed vibe, not noisy like some of the other sports bars in the airport. I was apprehensive at first. The menus were dirty and they seemed to be very short staffed. Like 3 guys running the whole restaurant. Service was slow, but the food was seasoned excellently, nice portion, home made and not processed. Loved the salad, have never had poached eggs on my salad before, it was quite good. Servers were down to earth and real despite being crazy busy and with not enough help. read more

Daniel was amazing. Great recommendations for wine and very entertaining! Great place to stop before or between flights!

Should be cool. But the food is mediocre at best. Shrimp so dry and hard it should hit the bin. Flatbreads with so many toppings you'll feel kind of sick. Overpriced wine. It's an airport, but they should have the basics covered. - Pre-arrange some wine flights - Have fresh bread - Keep the silverware cleaning in the kitchen read more

For an airport sit down restaurant, Lake Wine Kitchen + Bar is a solid option. There's plenty of wine sips to enjoy along with charcuterie boards and a variety of sandwiches to enjoy. I went with the ciabatta sandwich which was warm brie, turkey, pears, dijon mustard, and baby arugula on a ciabatta bun, served with a side of orzo pasta salad which was very tasty. Service was pleasant and unobtrusive. It's easy to linger here if you have a long layover or grab a quick bite or something to go at their counter if you're in more of a hurry. read more

With a nice (nice?) long layover at MSP airport, I spent almost two hours of it at the Lake Wine Kitchen + Bar which is in the main shopping concourse of Terminal 1. Self-seating when I arrived, my service was very good as I went through a few beers and a lot of water. Great menu and with eyes bigger than belly, I ordered the FIVE cheese plate. The slate that arrived had goat cheese, blue cheese, brie, manchengo and white cheddar. Serious portions and the crackers and bread and cornichons and olives were perfect, even if I'm now back on my keto diet after a weekend in Italy. Really good stuff and the price was reasonable. I'd do this again. [Review 10736 overall, 504 of 2019.] read more

Happy that the dinner was good here too. For airport food, the dishes are very well thought, prepared, and taste great! The shrimps were big and juicy. I enjoyed the combination of sweet honey with the spicy Cajun seasoning. The salmon was alright, but the herb orzo was the real star of the dish. The texture was a bit mushy but the flavor for the orzo was great and comfortable. Bartenders here are attentive and active! Great stop if you're at MSP read more

There are so many options for food and drinks at MSP but my favorite by far is Lake Wine. I have stopped many times here during my many three hour layovers and it really never disappoints. If you are up for a good deal get the wine samplers, which includes 3 small pours of wine for just $19. As for food I've had the pear and Gorgonzola flat bread which is just delectable! Great balance between salty and sweet, plus the flat bread itself is very good. Another favorite is the mushroom ravioli. It's chess filled ravioli topped with balsamic glaze, wild mushrooms and arugula. Not too heavy but very satisfying As for service, I've found that the servers here are very kind and attentive. They do not rush you and they're very patient. It's probably not the best restaurant inMSP to visit if you have just an hour layover but if you have just a tad bit long, def worth a visit! read more

I was very sad to learn that Surdyk's Flights has closed. It was my favorite place to stop if I had time while laying over at MSP. Thankfully, travel for work wrapped up before they closed. Now I'm back on the road and was pleased to have a few hours between flights. Lake Wine Kitchen & Bar is a fantastic replacement. As with Surdyk's, there were many wine flight options. I chose the spicy red flight, one from Italy, one from France and one from California. I enjoyed each of the selections and chose the selection from Italy for a final glass. I was going to have dinner on the plane, so didn't want to eat too much. I opted for the three cheese plate, which came with olives, spicy mustard, little baby pickles, fruit and fruit compote. I ran out of bread and they brought me two more pieces, which was the perfect amount. Also, those last two pieces were warm and soft. Had they all been warm and soft I would have been quite the happy camper. I sat at the seating in the Mall walkway rather than sit inside the restaurant. I just seemed more inviting. There are plenty of places to plug in and charge devices. Also, lucky me, someone stopped in to play the piano, which is just to the end of the seating area. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. This is the type of place for which I will plan a longer layover so I can stop in, enjoy a bit to eat and a glass of wine, and relax. read more

When you have a 9 hour layover, you drink wine! Or...at least that is what I do! I had a very long layover in the Minneapolis airport on my way to s trip of a lifetime. And it was time to treat yo'self! Erm...myself. Lake Wine Kitchen Plus Bar is in the mall-type area that connects several concourses. There is a storefront with seating inside, as well as quite a bit of seating in the middle of the walk way. Kudos to all servers at all the restaurants that have to people-dodge to deliver to those of us sitting out there! They have several options for wine flights, as well as wine by the glass or bottle.The food seems to mostly be small plates, but from what I recall was really good! Our server was funny and friendly and helped us to enjoy our visit even more that we already were! If I had time to kill and money to spend the next time I fly through Minneapolis, I would certainly come back here! read more

This restaurant is located in terminal 1 in the Minneapolis airport. We stopped to pick up a bite before boarding a long flight. We took them to go as we didn't have a lot of time. The menu is somewhat limited but very interesting. Prices are about what someone should expect in an airport. I ordered the Naan and greens with a basaltic dressing. Yummy stuff, I'm glad I ordered it! My wife had the ciabatta and greens also with the basaltic dressing. Also very interesting and delicious. This place is worthy! I'll remember to stop in when traveling through. read more

I've eaten here before when traveling and not been disappointed until today. This isn't a "trash the place" review, rather, constructive criticism from someone who long ago used to work in hospitality. Ordered the Poached Egg Toast - 2 eggs, herb cream cheese, tomato, red onion, arugula, burnt onion vinaigrette served with rosemary potatoes. The eggs - one was poached hard, the other had about half the whites basically uncooked. Chef should have caught that, expediter should have caught that, server (who looked right at them when setting my plate) should have noticed. It was very obvious. No vinaigrette on it - anywhere. "Toast" was warm bread. It was good bread, but tough to cut as it was not crisp at all. Everything was under seasoned. No rosemary in the potatoes at all. Not even a hint of rosemary flavor. Good stuff - the tomato was one of best I've had in a restaurant in a long time, bowl of berries that were perfectly ripe and delicious. Service - two servers. One who greeted me (the one with the tattoo) who is obviously a seasoned server. Very pleasant, knows what she's doing, knows how to make it at least seem like she enjoys her job, and I think she actually does. Actual server - could have been her first day. Didn't know the menu. Dropped my food without asking if it looked OK. Never checked in with me once, despite walking past me about 2 dozen times while I ate. Please train her!! Ambiance - great. Very clean and organized. Music (not too loud) from the '80's which is my era, so that was a bonus. Overall, still a decent experience, and I'll be back. I never judge a restaurant on one experience, unless it's a complete disaster. This could have been an off day, new chef, new server. read more

Phenomenal find in a very nice airport! Super chill and food was excellent... our server was great and had great recommendations. It doesn't seem like you can go wrong here, but I enjoyed the spicy shrimp and the spinach salad, and my colleague got the soup du jour (French Onion... apparently it was the bomb!) and the ravioli got rave reviews too! read more

When I was waiting for my flight I thought it would be fun to go check out a wine bar, but I was unimpressed with the service at this location. When the server came over to my table he said "ready to order" instead of introducing himself. At a fancy restaurant like this, I expect a bit more than this casual introduction. I asked the server for recommendations for wine and food and he had never tried any of the dishes or wines. I felt like I was blindly ordering food from the menu. Luckily the items I got were great, but I felt like the service I was paying for was not being met. My advice to the business owner would be to allow your employees the opportunity to try all of the different foods so they are able to give recommendations to the guests. For example, a cheese plate was on the menu and I asked what types of cheeses were offered and the server said "we have brie cheese." If you were going to offer a cheese plate, it's important to inform servers of what types of cold cuts you have. read more

Hanging at the airport and needed a quick stop for some snack. Ordered the Spanish Shrimp under small plates. It came and looked very presentable. Shrimp was spicy and had honey or agave sauce. Perfect snack for one person. The wait was a bit longer than expected tho. At the airport, I expected service to alot more efficient since people have to catch their flights. One star off for the service. My friends had cheese cake and that took forever too, which is unnecessary since those are definitely pre-made. Overall, there are many more other options at this airport, I wouldn't come back again but would rather try other restaurants here. read more

What a drab, awful little breakfast. My wife got the "sausage frittata", a diminutive, dry, tasteless, pre-made, microwaved muffin-shaped egg thingy with about 1/16 of a sausage patty stuck in the top like a broken candle. On the menu, this was under "fresh-cracked eggs". I ordered the croque madame, which was a piece of purportedly sourdough bread with some fried ham, an overpoached egg with a hard yolk but still some runny areas of egg white (how do you even do that?), and an unremarkable Mornay sauce in place of the usual cheese, which at least helped swallow the dry and largely tasteless bread. The blackberries and blueberries on the plate were ok. The gentleman next to me needed to remind the waitress which toppings the menu said were going to be on his French toast since they were not there. As I paid the bill, i was actually looking forward to seeing what they might serve on the plane. At least the waitress was pleasant. read more
