    Found a nice bench outside.

    Bakery AND Ice cream!! Sunday afternoon, we stumbled upon this treasure! Lila helped us with both information and friendliness! Nice baked goods (numm!), ice cream, beverages, nice seating inside, and a few benches outside. Will go again!

    Such fun donuts and allergy friendly. Plenty of options for the people in your life-- personally or professionally

    The scale says 2-stars is "Meh. I've experienced better" and I can think of no better description of Thirsty Whale. This is a generic bakery that adds its unique fun by putting candy on pedestrian donuts and serving completely forgettable baked goods. This is a fun twist on Wuollet, which is the kind of bakery that your grandparents (or even great-grandparents for you Alphas) thought was fantastic back in the midcentury. Wuollet is bland and forgettable. This is bland and forgettable with, quite literally, candy on top. There's only so much you can do with a mediocre foundation. These are instagrammable baked items that aren't particularly good. Wayzata has had better: Bellecour (RIP) was fantastic. The city has many other great options with Diane's Place, Patisserie 46, Rustica, Black Walnut, Marc Heu, etc. The space is a quick adaptation of a Penny's location that closed because the owners of the chain just stopped caring (they sold the other 2 locations to Daniel del Prado's restaurant group to become what is now Cafe Ceres, this one just was a slow crash). The space was never a great design, it was a complete misfire compared to the other 2 locations (the claustrophobic space originally had plywood walls before they made it feel more open). Thirsty Whale has done a reasonable job brightening it up and adapting it into a pleasant area. The staff was earnest but not very well trained at how to operate efficiently, I would say it's about where I would expect. They need to be better about cleaning the tables up (and the patrons need to be better about bussing their own messes). I simply can't recommend this place.

    Greatest food and seriously wonderful tater tots. Great parking…read more Get there early on weekends . There's a nice parking lot behind the restaurant with lots of free parking

    I was looking for a new and exciting brunch spot and for some reason we always forget that there…read moreare a ton of restaurants out in Wayzata. So I found Benedict's online and thought it looked like a good choice. The restaurant itself is really bright open and airy. Lots of natural light and high wood beams. The restaurant employs an online wait list, which I love. So you join the wait list online, it tells you how long your wait is and the you can plan your arrival to minimize your wait. I was surprised that on a Saturday, we walked right in and were seated... it wasn't all that crowded (that said, there was a big No Kings rally that day so people might have been busy). At any rate, we were greeted and seated immediately at a nice table. I enjoyed the many options on the menu and also loved that you could order a single specialty pancake if you wanted one. I ordered the classic benedict. My husband got the tot hash. We ordered a strawberry nutella pancake to share. The pancake was good, though honestly the nutella strawberry topping was a bit meh. My husband said his tot hash was not what he expected (they seem to make their own tots and then deep fry them) but he did like it. My benedict was decent, but there was way too much ham and not enough hollandaise. I hate when people are stingy with the hollandaise. Coffee was good and strong. My peach mimosa was fine but honestly pretty small -- I'd be surprised if it was 8 oz. Service was OK. Nothing super major to complain about, but my mimosa wasn't delivered until I was almost through my first cup of coffee. The waitress clearly just forgot about it. She basically said so and apologized. I noted that many tables had lovely little bottles of water for when you wanted to refill your glass, but we did not receive one. It also bothered me a bit that there was a lot of "stuff" on the floor. Trash, bits of food, etc. I know that things get really busy at brunch spots on the weekends. But someone really needed to go around with a broom or a vacuum. It's just not what I expect from a dining establishment where I'm going to drop $80 on breakfast for two.

    It was a beautiful day at 3:45 pm on a Saturday. I assumed that I could easily get a drink outside…read morewith an appetizer. I was told this was not possible due to prom! After the fact, it appeared the prom guests were inside, so I am puzzled by that line of reasoning. Therefore, as a single diner, I was seated at a high top table directly across from the waiters station in the bar area. This was not what I expected and it really made my dining experience subpar. In hindsight, I could have I moved to the bar! Of course, the food was amazing! I will go back with a reservation and a request to sit ANYWHERE else than that table!

    6Smith is exceptional with their cocktails and beverage options! The smokey old fashioned is worth…read moreit! Been here a couple times for Fat Pants Friday -- love the surprise and know it will be a one-meal-a-day meal! The highlight of dinner was the watermelon salad with salmon -- that was exceptional! The lobster pasta tasted great but wished the portion was a little larger! Two points that were disappointing for me were due to the steak tartar and the chicken wings. The tartar was WAY too salty and sour. I love pickles but this was overkill. At first glance, you know there's pickles in it with the fan of them. However, there were so many pickles diced in the tartar mixture, along with capers, that ultimately was unpleasant after a few bites. The chicken wings were cooked well and loved the spice mixture seasoning. Again, the saltiness was overpowering and unpleasant. On my second wing, the saltiness was so strong I wish I had scraped off the seasoning or saved some baguette to dilute the salt. Service is exceptional every time I have been here. Wait staff, greeters, bartenders. Everyone is pleasant and welcoming. 6Smith is absolutely beautiful inside and out! The inside bar is beautiful and the outdoor seating is gorgeous. Would I come back? Yes. Definitely for drinks and maybe share some appetizers with friends on the lake.
