Ordered using DoorDash. Food arrived on time. However, what arrived was VERY different than what…read moreI ordered -- or at least I think. I ordered Burrito Pancho Villa and Choriqueso and Chips. The chips that arrived were round corn chips from a bag. Tasted like Sam's Club special or something. The Choriqueso was NOT Choriqueso...that is to say, it had a scoop of the Chorizo meat on top with the rest being some yellow, out of a can, cheese, and served in a Styrofoam drink cup. The burrito was WAY undercooked (the enchilada was raw underneath) and they put some lettuce or something inside which ruined the flavor. The chicken was good, but that's about it. The cheese sauce, again, was that yellow canned cheese like you'd find on the bottom shelf of a grocery -- tasted more like that yellow cheese dip that Fritos puts out. The picture on line showed a beautiful burrito with white cheese on top, not yellow/canned cheese. Finally, the chips. I got a paper sandwich bag that was about 1/4 full of chips. It had, maybe, 10 full chips inside, and the rest were broken or crumbs. Looking at the several positive reviews here, I have to wonder if they have a really bad cook there which I ended up with, I don't know. but several of the negative reviews say similar to me -- gross cheese, no chips, store-bought chips/cheese. It was overall a HORRIBLE experience.

The menu has a lot of variety with many items to choose from. The server was just top notch like took time to get order right, answer questions, come back and check on us and smile and super professional the whole time. My beverage was amazing and food was great, one of the people in our group said the homemade vegetable soup was the best soup they've ever had. To be honest the food was really good but the staff was just amazing. The hostess, server, even person who walking by answered a question and wasn't our server were all just beyond top notch. Like the service you'd get at a upper end steak house (but even better than that). I think the food is great, the servers are TOP NOTCH and for sure recommend. I'd give six stars if I could.

They also have a window into the kitchen, so you can see the chefs cooking! Our server was very sweet and attentive! It was their first day too!! Woohoo! I got the Rise of the Phoenix mocktail, which was so yummy! Perfect for a hot day! Had a good amount of vegetarian options, which is always lovely to see! I ended up getting the Wild Rice Hot Dish because it felt so quintessentially Minnesotan. I didn't end up loving it. I thought it needed more flavoring and spicing it up, but I know that that is NOT quintessentially Minnesotan. But my whole group thought it could have used a little something-something. BUT we also got the Mac and Kim-cheese and that was so good and flavorful! Such a fun combo! Would definitely get that dish again!

You can call ahead to get your name in the line for seating to save your wait time. The complimentary chicharron bowl was a great way to start the meal. Use the bbq sauces as dip. Order: Half rack ribs. Not the best texture on this rack. Just a little too soft for me. Salt level was aggressive. I would not recommend the portion we were served today. I think they just had an off day. Brisket. Tender and juicy. Perfectly smoked. This was a delicious bite. Bbq style Cuban sandwich. This was a memorable bite of food. Great spin on a classic. Sides: Mac and cheese. Creamy, saucy and flavorful. Highly recommended. Fresh cut fries. Definitely worth the upgrade. The dill lemon aioli is highly recommended. Cheesy grits. Yummy. The star of the show was the thinly sliced pickled jalapeño on top. Added that sweet vinegar crunch. Poblano corn. Good flavor. Just ok. Baked beans. Good bite but nothing special or memorable. I would skip. Collar greens. Tender and flavorful. Highly recommended.

And I'm not picky when it comes to pizza! *editing in response: Door Dash delivered it within 45 of placing the order so it's 100% on the restaurant. The garlic cheese bread was so dry. All 12 pieces lifted off the cardboard like a frisbee. It's that's fresh then I got nothin'. The food should have at least been warm to the touch. Now, I'm not just disappointed about the food, but the inability to take ownership. Also one pizza and garlic bread order was $67 after door dash fees and my $8.50 tip. They don't have their own delivery service so Door Dash was the only delivery option. Terrible!

The restaurant overlooks the lake, making for such a beautiful and relaxing setting. The ambiance is absolutely charming, and I loved the serveware, it gave the whole meal a lovely high tea feel. The food was on the pricey side, but every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. They also had a display of freshly baked goods at the front, so we picked up a few treats to take on the road. Those were just as amazing as our meal! The staff was incredibly welcoming and sweet, and I loved all the thoughtful little touches throughout the restaurant. One of my favorites was the guestbook they invite visitors to sign before leaving. It's details like that that make a place feel extra special. I would absolutely recommend stopping here if you're driving the North Shore. Beautiful views, delicious food, and such a warm, memorable experience.

Freshly prepared lobster served cold in a buttery toasty bun. It was as good as it looked. Homemade chips on the side added the needed texture and crunch to the dish. Grilled artichoke toast. This was the surprise of the meal. It was an artichoke lovers dream. I would drive 2.5 hours for this dish without hesitation. It was that good.
