Balsam Lake Restaurants

The food was very good all four of us had something different. Good cocktail menu. It’s a cozy place to go on a winter day. I prefer going for lunch as it’s a bit quieter.

Right away from entering the establishment the level of service was outstanding! I had dropped my girlfriend off at the the door and the staff knew right where she was. Pointed me in the right direction. While waiting for our table we had a drink at the bar & the staff there made great recommendations. Another hostess came to get us for our table. Once we were seated our server fully explained the menu for our first time being there. She was absolutely amazing! We took her recommendations for an appetizer and our steaks were cooked to perfection! The flavor profile was stunning! The level of service was absolutely outstanding! To end our evening experience we got to chat with Santa & Mrs Claus! When leaving the restaurant every staff member thanked us for coming in tonight. We look forward to dining again there! 

Favorite spot for dinner in Woodbury! Always great food, service and atmosphere. We love it for family outings, birthdays and special occasions.

The two cocktails we had - the Barrel Aged Holiday Manhattan and the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned were both OUTSTANDING! I thoroughly enjoyed a bottle of Riesling and it was reasonably priced. Our appetizers and our meals were scrumptious! I had the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection! Ther chowder was also excellent! Our waitress was so friendly and attentive! We had a lovely evening. We always go to The Lake Elmo Inn at Christmas time because the decorations are positively exquisite! We had a WONDERFUL evening!!!

The fish fry was very good. And, the Thai Chicken Pizza was excellent. The Blueberry Martini was delicious. Marissa was our server, and she did a great job. Everyone was very friendly. We will definitely be back. Maybe this time we will try the Simulator?
