Crossroads Delicatessen

Reviewed By Franz S

We had a nice quiet lunch with a non-franchised type menu. Stuffed cabbage rolls were excellent. Many items on the menu can be ordered in half orders so the portions are actually manageable. Noise level is subdued so folks can have a conversation with out raising voices to be heard over the music/noise.

Gold Nugget Tavern and Grille

We kept the old handcrafted favorites: the signature burgers, sandwiches, hand cut fries. Just wait until you see the 1880's bar and enjoy our happy hour specials Monday - Friday from 3-6 and 2-5 on weekends. Bring the family, the friends, the neighbors.

The Gold Nugget is a great place for a burger and fries. Lots of different brews as well. They are now open for brunch as well, so things are really cooking at this place.. Locally owned as well.

I've eaten here frequently but won't take it for granted - they always do a good job! Last visit was just happy hour for a lite dinner - sliders and salads - but they do it so well. I wouldn't normally give 5 stars just for appetizers, but every time for a main course has been great - and after many meals here have always been happy about service, food, atmosphere and price. Any place that can be this consistently good deserves 5 stars!

Hazellewood Grill and Tap Room

Reviewed By manmountain13

I stopped in with the family on Father's day June 16th 2019. My burger was alright. Nothing special except for the bacon which was thick and smoky. We all had fries and none of us ate them. What kind of fancy restaurant can't even make some edible fries? My girlfriend got the French Onion soup and didn't eat it. It had a weird sweet flavor. My shrimp corn chowder was really good. Then I see my girlfriend picking at her walleye sandwich so I ask to try it. I took just a bit of the white walleye flake from the middle and I could not get it out of my mouth fast enough. Keep in mind that I am not a picky eater at all. I once ate 5 nightcrawlers for a charity event but I spit this walleye out and immediately began looking for something to wash my tongue. I'm home now and swishing Listerine and I still can't get the taste out of my mouth. It's as if they just completely forgot to remove the skin or something. The fishiness was overwhelming and rancid tasting. By far the worst fish I've ever put in my mouth, bar none. It was the worst thing of any kind I've put in mouth and I've had Lutefisk. I have cooked my fair share of walleye over the years and I'm not very good at it. I've botched it horribly many times and it still comes out delicious every time. Then we laugh about how it is impossible to screw up walleye. It is impossible. It's delicious every time no matter what you do. Well, not at Hazellewood Grill. God, I can still taste it. Just absolutely putrid. Literally like licking a live fish and sucking the slime off. I am shocked that a fancy restaurant with these prices would put something like this on a table in front of a customer. Just shocked beyond belief. They took it off the bill but that is far too little for something this horrible. They should have comped the whole bill. Better yet. Fire the chef from that night. That is absolutely unforgivable. I wouldn't eat here again if they gave me free food for the rest of my life.We are so sorry to read that this was your experience with us. Would you please be willing to contact our general manager and discuss this experience. Her name is dede conkey. You can reach her at 952-401-0066 or her email is [email protected]

CoV Wayzata

Reviewed By irishupfl

Cov was alot of fun. The atmosphere is great as it is right on the lake. Outdoor seating was packed because it was a gorgeous day. We sat at the bar inside and with the open environment it was like sitting outside. We had a great bartender and the food was amazing. The portions are quite large -- I had the spicy chicken sandwich and I could only eat half. Definitely come for good food and the amazing views.

McCormick's Irish Pub and Restaurant

Reviewed By earrings3

The four of us had a very positive experience recently at McCormick's. Two of us had the clam strip roll, which was delicious. The fries were cooked just right, and my request for no seasoning was done properly. My husband had the grouper sandwich and he enjoyed it. The fourth person had a burger. Our server was great and kept on top of keeping our water glasses full. My previous experience hadn't been so good in terms of my meal, so I'm happy to give a good review.

Reviewed By Dan L

I had been to BLVD two times (lunch & happy hour) prior to dinner on Friday night. Once again, I was not disappointed. We sat at a hightop table near the bar and while the place was busy and noisy, we could still converse without shouting. Tabitha, our waitress was prompt, friendly and informative. Good greek salad and excellent Tomato Basil soup (served with a small grilled cheese...nice touch!). My dining partner enjoyed the Filet Mignon sliders and calamari.

Bacio

Reviewed By 580tamij

We stopped in on a Saturday for dinner and they have happy hour until 6pm, so we opted to sit in the bar and enjoy some cheap eats and drinks to start. The tuna crisps looked devine and the steak tacos (2) were amazing. Both are sort of single serve apps. We shared some edamame. My husband ordered the miso glazed salmon for a meal - WOW! At first I was a little offput by the $34 price tag, but it did not disappoint. In fact, I’d pay for the recipe, as it was probably the best salmon I’ve ever had. It came on a bed of stir fried grains and was FABULOUS- highly recommend!
