Step back in time to when going out for dinner meant something really special. From the decor to the jazz music, Wildfire has the style and warmth that makes it perfect for celebrating with friends or a quiet evening for two. The extensive menu features broiled steaks and chops, wood-roasted seafood and roasted meats, all prepared in an open kitchen.

The prime rib was great, the 6 oz blue cheese crusted filet was wayyyy too much bleue cheese. Good but the cheese overpowered the filet. Way too much. The Aue juis that my hubs had with his prime rib was perfect to dip my filet in. The fries awesome- the corn mediocre, very small serving too. The bread hard - none of the food was hot and we were there at 3:30. The prime rib was very difficult to cut. But tasted good. Simple but good. Drinks great, service was outstanding and all the staff, wonderful. You need new menu items. Been going here forever - your happy hours are better than dinner. Thanks! Loved our server and bus boy/guy.

Other than valet parking being a cluster and after waiting for 20 min needing to find alternative parking because they weren’t moving, it was a great Valentine’s Day dinner. The food and service at Manny’s was excellent! The lobster bisque was delicious! I had the surf & turf and my husband enjoyed the filet. No time for dessert. Thank goodness our reservation was at 5:15 with a show at 7:30 because by the time my husband got into the restaurant we lost a half hour of time. Valet needs some work! Will go again and just plan to park ourselves.

Classic Italian in all ways. Our waiter guided us with the menu and was wonderful. We had the homemade pasta: the special lobster tagliatelle for me, pappardelle for hubby who substituted the chicken for walleye. The handmade pasta tasted just like my late mother’s. You can request the hand made pasta with other dishes if you wish. You should NOT pass it up. The walleye was a don’t miss also. Lobster was very tender and plentiful. Just a great experience.

We split the 8 ounce filet and it was excellent, although we wished we had gone with the blue cheese version. We had to try the hashbrowns which was an insanely large portion for two. They only have one size. It should have been at most 1/2 the size. We were well cared for and the service was excellent. However the noise level from the two very large extended tables adjacent to us made conversing very difficult. I expect that we will go back.

About the restaurant

Al and Alma’s Supper Club was founded in 1956 by Al and Alma Quist. During the day Al was a firefighter and the Mayor of Island Park, at night he cooked the best food on the lake! His idea of creating a dining destination worth making a trip for propelled a lasting history as Lake Minnetonka's longest operating restaurant. Open for dinner only, today's modern restaurant embraces recipes that have spanned three generations. The term "Supper Club" embraces our past but requires no membership! Hand cut steaks, slow cooked BBQ ribs, famous campstyle walleye and homemade desserts accompany modern American fare and delightful nightly specials including fresh ocean fish. Join us out on Phelps Island; you'll be glad you did!
Al & Alma's restaurant is a perfect choice if you want a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, good food, and wonderful service.

Gave my daughter an extra cherry because she was upset when we got there. Just very very accommodating especially for kids as an upscale place. Walleye phenomenal.

Saint Paul

About the restaurant

In every city, there is a natural gathering spot for city folk and neighborhood people in the know. This place in Saint Paul is know as Bennett's Chop & Railhouse. Located on West Seventh & Victoria, it is the perfect meeting place of uptown and downtown, of quiet neighborhood and big city lights.

It's called a chophouse because it specializes in a casual steakhouse atmosphere with top-of-the-line cuts of the finest meats. It is a Rail-house because it is on the old railroad line serving the city and rail drinks (as well as top brands) are served in the convivial atmosphere of the horseshoe bar.

And of course Bennett's is Bennett's because owners Joe and Meghan Bennett ensure that welcoming hospitality is always served. They have taken their decades of experiences with leading hospitality brands and translated it into an intimate venue where you're not only a customer, but more importantly, a welcome guest.

Dinner was spectacular. We got the scallops and pork belly, roasted cauliflower, rainbow trout, artisanal seasonal pasta, roasted carrots, and the donuts and chocolate creme brûlée for dessert. Wow! Everything was so delicious! Our favorite was the trout which had this exquisite sauce and the skin was crispy and delicious. The pasta was awesome with zucchini, peas, asparagus, mint, and lemon. The carrots had the most delicious lemon yogurt sauce! And the cauliflower was seasoned with some Indian tasting spices and had these crispy chickpeas which added the perfect crunch. The donuts were to die for! It’s a huge portion of 10 gigantic beignets style donuts. So good! Amy was our server. She was engaging and attentive and the food came out perfectly timed We will definitely be back!

We went there for dinner and to watch the belly dancing performance. The food was amazing. My husband had the taste of Greece, and I had the stir fry. Both had great flavors. We enjoyed watching the belly dancing performance. The performer even gave my daughter and some other kids belly dancing lessons on stage. It was a great night out!
