Gorgeous spot with some tasty (but pricey) bites! Located right in downtown wayzata and overlooking lake Minnetonka, this is a stunning spot for a nice dinner out! Our service was great and our waitress was really knowledgeable. I really enjoyed all of the food we got but was disappointed in the size/amount of pieces in the king grab sushi roll for $28. Two of the pieces fell apart almost instantly after being picked up with chopsticks and the pieces of crab on the side were tiny! The rolls were good but for the price and amount of crab on the roll I couldn't justify ordering it again. The corn esquites side dish was incredible and I even ordered one to go for my husband to try! I would come back for this dish alone. The crispy rice and spicy tuna was tasty as well. Overall it's a gorgeous spot with good food and drinks but pretty expensive for portion sizes. read more

Unfortunately I was a little disappointed in the food here. Let me start by saying though - the vibes? IMMACULATE. If you want a place for a good cocktail, dessert, or a place to chill at the bar then come here! The patio is gorgeous but the inside of the restaurant is beautiful as well. Unfortunately the service was somewhat slow and the food was just ok. We got the elote and calamari which were just alright. We did enjoy the breading on the calamari and it was well fried though! The crispy rice and avocado were really tasty. Overall I wish the portions were bigger for the apps but some are shareable. The biggest disappointment was the wagyu tacos. The flavor was good but the beef was cooked way too much. The best part about Wagyu is its melt in your mouth tender and this been was cooked so much it almost seemed like ground beef. The tacos were also TINY. The fried potatoes were well cooked and crispy but they just needed more sauce. It was a LOT of potato. We did enjoy the fried rice and the shrimp on it was cooked and seasoned well! Lastly the churros for dessert were the star! I would definitely be pick about what you get - I recommend the crispy rice, fried rice, churros, and calamari as well as cocktails. read more

Everything I have tried has been good, but the Mexican roll and the gelato are my staples. The gelato comes in one flavor that is a rich chocolate with salt. It tastes like it is made with quality chocolate. The Mexican roll is fresh and spicy. It comes with 10 pieces that feels just like enough for one sitting. The sushi tacos typically have 3 minis but a 4th can be added for $5. read more

This is an upscale Asian fusion gorgeous restaurant with views of the lake. This is a great spot for date night or special occasion dinners that can seat larger parties. The interior modern and charming with a 4 seasons large patio looking right at the water. They have a bar and high top tables as well. They recently added a great daily happy hour with small bites, cocktails and wines/beers/sake. Definitely try their rotation sake for only $5. We also enjoy their other happy hour cocktails and hand rolls. Food is quality but definitely have smaller portions that are meant to shared! Their tuna is to die for. I also have to always get my favorite frozen lychee cocktail called the Ileana!!! Ugh soo good. read more

The space is beautiful and has a scenic view of the water. In the summer, you will probably need to get a reservation. I've eaten here once before for a special event year prior and the food options were better in my opinion. The small plates got even smaller and more expensive. Not sure if the quality was better on things either. I was with 3 others and we all shared plates. chicken karaage was alright. I liked the crispiness was the sauce was nothing extravagant. Truffle Edamame - best thing I had! The only thing craveworthy that I had. Shrimp taco - smelled fishy but tasted better. I was able to split it into 2 since the shells are so small and the filling worked well in the 2 provided. Crispy rice with spicy tuna - this was fun to do but not as good as we were hoping. It was missing something. Shishito peppers- these were large and many had the seeds. Spicier due to this. Wagyu sushi tacos $24 for the tiny things and it looked like ground wagyu... felt like a cash grab. I didn't eat them but my crew ate 2 and didn't want to eat the last one. Chicken fried rice - good size and really gingery. Not my favorite but it was edible. Better value than other items. The sushi felt like Crave and they were teeny tiny. I didn't enjoy the fishiness so I was one and done. (I normally love seafood) Dessert- we split 2.. the churros and the tres leches. The churros needed some sweetness in the mixture as they were bland. I was hoping for a really good churro and these were just ok. The tres leches wasn't traditional and they should change the name to avoid confusion. They have a better happy hour if you sit at the bar. Our server was able to order us some fries. Despite not being in the bar area. Overall, I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here. The drinks and happy hour, maybe. The cocktail menu was very nice and I tried a few of my friends drinks. read more

I've visited Macanda a few times and have only had good experiences. From the moment you walk in the door it's absolutely beautiful! The staff is really friendly and attentive. The food and drinks are consistently good. Prices are maybe a little high for the portions. I would highly recommend the corn esquites and the jasmine "champagne". I can't wait to come back and check out the hifi record bar! read more

Noticed they recently introduced a new happy hour menu, and it exceeded my expectations! The menu now features added Japanese influences and offers a greater selection of small dishes. I found the menu quite impressive. Our server was really friendly, and the food arrived promptly. This is definitely a new favorite place to meet up with friends for happy hour or a date. read more

We had a simply PERFECT time at Macanda!!! The drinks, the food, the desserts were outstanding. The decor was beautiful, with tons of plants as well as furniture and light fixtures incorporating natural elements like wicker and jute. That combined with the view of the lake, the "vibe" was just exquisite! Our server, Analiz, could teach a clinic on how to be an exemplary server. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and a total delight! She took such good care of us. We felt like we had a good friend working at our table. We will absolutely return, and hopefully have sweet Analiz as our server! read more

Stopped by here for restaurant week! Glad we did because our drinks, food and ambiance was amazing! Not too busy on a Sunday night, you could probably get by without a reservation on a Sunday evening in the winter! I'm sure it's a totally different story in the summer because the covered patio we sat on has an incredible view of the lake! Check this place out if you're looking for a nice fancy meal with your buddies or your favorite person read more

Macanda continues to raise the bar with their new menu additions. We started with the corn esquites (10/10), not new but always a staple for us -- truly the best we've had. Creamy, zesty, and perfectly balanced with cotija, lime, and chili, and better than several other versions we've tried in the area. The Tuna Tostadas (9/10) were a highlight for us. Unique flavor of tuna with lemongrass chimichurri and a touch of truffle, bringing brightness, umami, and richness together in a perfect bite. The Wagyu Sushi Tacos (10/10) were the standout -- melt-in-your-mouth wagyu topped with caviar in a unique bite size presentation. The Kinoko Old Fashioned (9/10) was an excellent cocktail made with Japanese whiskey and mushroom butter, delivering a very smooth, earthy, and complex flavor profile. We tried both the Mexican Roll (8/10) fresh and well-executed but more avocado than I'd care for on a roll -- and the Tuna Pico Roll (10/10) which was easily the favorite of the night thanks to its vibrant layers of citrus, spice, and texture. We also tried the Spicy Tuna Maki Roll (7/10). The spicy tuna itself was excellent, but the roll leaned heavy on vegetables, distracting from the quality of the fish. Unfortunately, they were out of the crispy rice we had hoped to try, so we'll definitely be back for that. We finished with the churros (7/10), which were warm and crisp with cinnamon sugar and sauces, but could have used gelato or whipped cream to really elevate the dessert. Overall, a 9/10 experience -- bold flavors, creative combinations, and a menu that keeps getting better. We'll be returning soon to explore more of the Mexican-focused dishes and see how those have been revamped. Service is always phenomenal and pleasant. The ambiance is hands down one of my favorites outside the cities. Love all the greenery and Mexico City vibes. read more

This is a very spunky restaurant with great atmosphere and music. The bartenders are very friendly and the vibe is awesome. I love coming here for a fun little night with friends if we aren't looking to go too crazy but still want a good time close to home. I would definitely recommend! I have never actually ordered any food here, but I'm sure it's great. Their cocktails are really good! read more

Today we went on a date to check out this place. Couldn't tell if it was Mexican or Japanese or what? Well turns out it's a handful of cuisines in a genuinely inviting venue. It's on Lake Minnetonka in the heart of Wayzata. Same building as 6Smith. My date really enjoyed the offerings. We had vegetarian today. Our server was Ellie and she was great. She even made home made lemonade for us all by herself. Would reccomended the restaurant. read more

Very good happy hour with some unique cocktail like an espresso martini made with tequila and honey. Superb! Their Old Fashioned was equally inspirational! Took advantage of something you rarely see on an upscale restaurant menu: HOT DOG! Was very good. And would get again read more

Been here once before and enjoyed it. Heard they had a new chef and wanted to circle back for another visit. Didn't have a reservation, it was a Sunday night and not terribly busy luckily. Was able to be seated on the patio and it was a stormy night but it's indoor and heated. I wanted the same frozen drink from before but they got rid of it so I tried a new one. Got some calamari and a few tacos. Food and drinks were very tasty. Also got some churros for dessert. Staff was very friendly but the service was a little slow when it came to ordering the food. First experience was a little better but this was still good and will go back for sure. read more

Bigggg change! Having visited four times prior to their makeover, Macanda was a spot that had moved to the bottom of my list. I really really tried to get on board with them but just couldn't - it felt expensive, with underwhelming food and a simple interior. What a shift! Their revamp has made a world of difference. I also think catering more to the Wayzata crowd, adding sushi rolls, small and sharable plates, all while keeping some of their classics. Their views of the lake are really unmatched and they boast a waterfront 4 seasons porch that now keeps up with the new food caliber. I went with a group of gals on a Monday night and the patio was packed. It was within their first few weeks of changing the menu, but still. We split two small plates and then each ordered our own roll. I would skip the crispy rice with spicy tuna. The rice was a thin (maybe one grain thick I kid you not) fried rice patty with a small dollop of tuna and barely any sauce. The corn dish (elote) on the other had was full of flavor - spicy and plentiful for four people with each of us gladly taking two servings. I would order the 294 roll without question. The other girls were less impressed with their rolls, but the 294 roll, although coming in at over $30, arrives with 10 instead of eight pieces and is flavorful, holds up to chopsticks and is definitely filling if you like shrimp tempura. Only thing I would say is service was quite slow, but again, they are early on in this renovation so understandably working out the kinks. f you were turned off by old Macanda, check them out again, very different experience! read more

Insert sad trumpet noise *wah, wah, wahhhhhhh* I wanted to love the new menu but I couldn't help but mourn the amazing dishes they took away. They also claim to have a better price point, but the portion to price ratio doesn't match up. Nothing stood out as a must get, but if I had to order one thing again - I'd keep ordering the tres leches. I enjoy the espresso twist they have on it. I don't foresee myself going back unless they either revamp the menu again, or revert back to the OG items they had. read more

Still one of the best restaurants in the twin cities. Their patio is my all time favorite spot for a nice dinner. The service is always nice, drinks spectacular and food is SO flavorful. We ordered the shrimp tacos, corn/esquites and the tuna aguachile blanco. I've tried a lot of tuna in my day, and I have to say... this might be my absolute favorite. The flavor is out of this world. I seriously can't wait for my next visit. It feels like stepping into a vacation each time I visit. read more

Great service. Amazing good. Just too expensive. We will be back. Better then Places around for sure.

We LOVED everything here! Our server had great conversations with us, filled us in on the menu, and gave amazing recommendations! My table shared four apps which was plenty to start our night. We ordered the shrimp empanadas impulsively at the last minute and they were my favorite app. The pork chop probably wouldn't have been my first choice, but we heard so many positive reviews that we ordered it and I am very thankful we did. This pork chop was perfectly cooked -- tender with phenomenal flavor. The enchiladas were a small portion, so I would plan for an app or a side. No detail was spared when creating the experience at this restaurant. The seating, lighting, plants, and additional decorations make the dining experience feel special! I plan to come back for dinks on the patio in the summer! read more

My friends and I came here for a bachelorette at dinner. It was a really fun environment. It turned into a club with music and a live DJ after dark. The food was delicious. I wish we would've been seated in the enclosed patio area, but the area we were seated in was fine. It's just nothing special, and the inclosed patio would have been a way better experience since that is what really makes them unique and special. Parking was free, easy to find and plentiful. Service was great. read more

To celebrate my mother's 75th birthday, we chose Macanda, a restaurant we've enjoyed for several years. We've been loyal customers since before the menu changed, and while I personally preferred the previous menu, we've continued to visit because we enjoyed the atmosphere and experience. Unfortunately, this visit left us disappointed. When I called to make the reservation, I was informed that because of the size of our party, the bill would be combined into one check with a 20% gratuity added. That was perfectly fine. However, after we arrived, several guests told me they were asked multiple times by staff about the payment arrangement. Since the policy had already been discussed and agreed upon, the repeated questioning felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. For context, our party was diverse and made up of professional women, including business owners, local community leaders, and public figures. Regardless of who is sitting at the table, assumptions should never be made about a guest's ability to pay. The biggest issue involved a birthday cake. I brought a Nothing Bundt Cake along with a dozen cupcakes to celebrate my mother. During the event, a server informed one of our guests that there would be a $30 plate fee if we cut the cake. While this had never been mentioned during the reservation call, I wasn't overly concerned because we also had cupcakes and did not anticipate needing additional plates. When the bill arrived, however, there was a $30 "outside food" fee included. I was surprised because this policy had never been disclosed when I made the reservation. We Tspoke with the manager and explained that the charge was the result of a communication breakdown on the restaurant's end. Unfortunately, she declined to remove the fee. My concern is not necessarily the amount itself, but the principle. When a guest is making a reservation for a large party, all relevant policies--including fees for outside desserts or food--should be clearly communicated upfront. That allows customers to make informed decisions and prevents misunderstandings. To make matters more challenging, several guests canceled at the last minute, leaving us with a smaller group than anticipated. Had we known sooner, we certainly would have notified the restaurant. Even so, our party was respectful, appreciative, and there to celebrate a special milestone. I do want to recognize our bartender, Jake, who was outstanding. He was attentive, professional, and welcoming throughout the evening. We greatly appreciated his service and made sure to show our gratitude. It's unfortunate because Macanda has a beautiful atmosphere and has been a place we've enjoyed in the past. However, based on this experience, we will not be returning. My advice to anyone planning a group event there is simple: if you are making a reservation for a larger party, ask about all policies and fees in advance so there are no surprises when the bill arrives. read more

The food was DELICIOUS! It was nice to make a stop here for restaurant week, the menu options were amazing and we really enjoyed each one. I'd say, the salmon had an interesting flavoring combination that I'm not used to but still would suggest for people to try. Personal favorite was the scallops and the dessert. Service was quick and always sharp on checking in. Atmosphere was calming with the lake view next door, and love the music! oysters were tad pricey so i'd suggest to skip on it read more

You know that old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"...yeah, that very much applies here. When they announced they were going to remodel and revamp the menu, I was so confused. As someone who lives about five minutes away and regularly ate here, it just didn't make sense. The food and drinks were wonderful, the atmosphere was great, and the prices were reasonable. Loving both fresh fish and Mexican food, the tostadas had a special place in my heart, as did the cosmic hippo cocktail. The decor is virtually unchanged, mostly just the layout, so that's great, but the food, portion sizes, and prices are wildly disappointing. We had the crispy rice with tuna, scallop tostada, king crab tacos, broccolini, karaage, and one of the sashimi offerings, but nothing stood out, besides the wildly small portion sizes. Yes, I know the new tostadas are around $20 where the old ones were around $30, but where the prices are now 2/3 what they used to be, the portions sizes are 1/3 what they used to be, at best. The sushi offerings don't make any sense either because quite frankly, why would you come to Macanda for sushi with so many other options for sushi close by. Sushi Fix, which is arguably one of the best sushi restaurants is within walking distance, as is Sakana, and Cov has sushi as well. I just get the impression that Macanda wants to be Nobu when they grow up but if things remain how they are, I see them sinking before they swim. read more

Not your typical Mexican place. It caters to more fine dinning audience. Portions are decent and prices are high. But worth it! We got the shrimp quesadilla, so unique and tasty. The crispy tortillas and well marinated shrimp come together. Size is big so not the easiest to eat. We also got the chicken from the section Grill from the plate, the quality was pretty good, it was well cooked and went well with the chimichurri dip. The service was decent, we sat in their heated and covered patio. The interior gives tulum vibes and not many places like this in Mn! I'll be returning read more

Came for a birthday dinner (10 people) The person I spoke to over the phone was very helpful and accommodating with scheduling the reservation. He suggested dining on the patio which was heated. And advised me they can't do separate checks which I completely understand with a somewhat larger party. We showed up and were told we couldn't sit till the whole party was here 4 weren't there yet, waited till they arrived to sit. The table was not on the patio like we requested, but the inside was very beautiful. Our waitress was amazing and very kind. 4 peoples cocktails were extremely watered down, they go heavy with the ice here. I ordered the Lychee martini which didn't have any ice and was great. The sushi tasted very fresh, no complaints on the dishes we ordered. Price of the food was expensive but expected, 18$ drinks and 25+ entrees. Quality of the food was worth the price. read more

Macanda recently re-did their menu and put an Asian flare too it and we were blown away. So many places stick to their same old menu for years but they boldly re-did their menu and made it into something really fun and we already can't wait to go back. Not only is their menu full of interesting things to try but their selection of drinks is also improved. We had a couple of amazing bottles of wine for a good price as well as fun cocktails. Service was also great, our waitress really helped describe the foods and made great suggestions. The whole re-do made Macanda into something we will try more than just once a year. Currently one of the best over on the west side. read more

Loved visiting Macanda! Parking was relatively easy to find on a Thursday evening in the large parking lot. Signage helped guide us to the restaurant since it is in a building with other businesses. This place is gorgeous! I love the cactus decorations and the light and airy feel. We didn't have a reservation and were seated right away on their porch. Our server greeted us right away and did a VERY detailed overview of the menu, recommending like half of the items. It was a little overwhelming honestly. We started with a saffron margarita and mezcal margarita. Both equally delicious and well-balanced. We ordered the chips and salsa, mussels, shrimp tempura tacos, and carne asada tacos. Everything but the mussels had a great flavors! Their sauce was good, but the mussels themselves were a little gritty and didn't seem super fresh. The tacos were SO delicious! They were decently sized with a lot of filling, which was appreciated considering the $15/16 price tag. The tortillas also stayed intact!! read more

I was so exciting to try this and honestly was a bit let down. The service was outstanding, our server was well versed in ingredients and provided guidance where needed. The restaurant itself is stunning at night. It's the dreamiest vibe with the fire place and all the ambient lighting. The food was where it fell short. We did the street corn and yuca apps. The street corn was good, but very average. The yuca was a bit dry and very spicy but still okay. The scallops were burned and the purée/hash they were served with had absolutely no flavor. Not pictured was the skirt steak which again was okay, but again wasn't anything that stood out. I wouldn't be back based on the price combined with the quality read more

I am honestly heartbroken and extremely disappointed. I booked a reservation last night for a very special day, and I did not cancel it. Yet today I was told that my reservation was canceled by your side. Because of this, my entire day and plans were completely ruined. A moment that was supposed to be happy and memorable turned into stress, frustration, and embarrassment. When you plan something important, you trust the place you book with -- and that trust was broken. I expected professionalism and basic communication, but instead I was left with no solution and no accountability. This experience was incredibly upsetting. I would never recommend Macanda for any special occasion. read more
