    We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and it was our first visit. Our food was incredible and our service was great! It was raining so I called ahead and they were able to keep our reservation and move us inside and we had a two top by the window which was a great spot. My husbands birthday is on our anniversary, and the only mix up was us thinking that the chocolate cake was included since she offered us a birthday / anniversary dessert but that was a small thing.

    We chose this spot for my birthday dinner, and it exceeded all of our expectations! Valet is available for $10, but there is also free street parking. We had reservations and were seated quickly. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with amazing hospitality and warm, friendly vibes. We sat on the patio and enjoyed beautiful views of Wayzata Bay, which made the evening even more special. Our server, Taylor, was fantastic. She explained the menu thoroughly, offered great cocktail recommendations, and walked us through the specials. Every interaction felt genuine and welcoming. A special thank you as well to Julio, who stopped by to check on us and surprised me with a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate my birthday, such a thoughtful touch! Some of my favorite dishes of the night were the baked and loaded potato, which was perfectly cooked with a crispy skin, and the char-grilled sweet corn. As someone who loves sweet corn, I especially appreciated that it was served elote style. I ordered the Roselle cocktail, which was delicious, and for my entrée, I had the jumbo seared scallops. The scallops were cooked beautifully, and the gnocchi they were served with were incredibly soft and flavorful. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, it was 10s all around. Definitely worth the experience, and we can't wait to come back for brunch!

    We had the greatest time here celebrating a birthday! The patio has such a wonderful view of the lake and all of the staff here were very kind, holding doors for us left and right. The food was incredible. Truly everything we had was so delicious! I really enjoyed my Fat Burger.

    6Smith definitely lives up to its reputation as an upscale lakeside bar and grill. The lakeside patio is adorable with cozy decor and great views, making it a perfect spot for summer drinks or dinner with friends. They also highlight five separate private dining spaces, which makes this a great option for larger groups and events too. Their happy hour seems like a fantastic deal, although it's worth noting that it's only available in the bar area and not on the patio. Our group ordered a variety of happy hour food to share, and the standout by far was the wings. They were easily my favorite thing on the menu, and honestly, I'd come back just for those alone! The lobster rolls were exactly what I'd expect from a Midwest restaurant. Nothing spectacular, but no complaints for $10 during happy hour. The Tuna Poke Crisps were decent, with a nice crunch, but they completely fell apart after a bite or two. The fries were solid as well. Delicious and homemade! Everything was beautifully plated. Our server was very friendly overall, but I was disappointed by her response when my gluten-free friend asked about menu options. She mentioned that the chef "doesn't like modifications, especially on the happy hour menu." Dietary restrictions aren't really the same thing as preference-based modifications, so that comment came across a bit snooty and left a bad impression. Overall, 6Smith has a beautiful atmosphere, a great patio, and some strong menu items. The wings alone are tempting enough to bring me back, but the service experience left me a little undecided on whether I'll be back!

    My friends and I stopped in for happy hour and thought it was a great way to try this upscale restaurant without paying full dinner prices. I ordered the cheeseburger, and it was absolutely worth it at the happy hour price point. My friend got the wings and said they were some of the best she's ever had! One thing to note is that the food doesn't come with sides, so we ordered the fries trio to share between the table. Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere inside was super cute and inviting. We had originally hoped to sit on the patio, but happy hour is bar seating only. It is definitely on the pricier side- paying $2-$3 for a side of ranch felt a little excessive, but that can be expected at a more upscale spot. Overall, I'd come back again, especially for a girls' lunch, happy hour, or date night to try more on the menu. I was also intrigued by their brunch menu!

    Fat pants steak quesadilla
    Abbie F.

    Made it here for Fat Pants and I'm so glad that I did!! And, I hate wasting food so it will be hard for me to go back. We had an incredible carne asada quesadilla that was HUGE!! The steak was cooked really well and the quesadilla was very delicious minus the onions. I picked those out because it was too much for me. Can't beat the price at $15 and when they run out they run out so get there early. The service was great and the staff were very friendly. Beautiful space on the water!

    6Smith is exceptional with their cocktails and beverage options! The smokey old fashioned is worth it! 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.

    Triple Dip French Fries

    It took me too long to check this place out, but receiving a gift card for helping a friend gave me the push I needed. The ambiance is nice and modern, but some of the artwork is a bit strange. The food and service were great! Our waiter was super knowledgeable about the whole menu and gave great recommendations, along with a lot of detail about various menu items. Being on the younger end of the age spectrum I've often felt overlooked or that I've received worse service at higher end restaurants due to my age, but that certainly wasn't the case here! I'm excited to visit again soon and try out some of their really compelling happy hour deals!

    FAT PANTS FRIDAY Burger
    Mark T.

    Finally was able to make it for a FAT PANTS FRIDAY. They always have a lunch special on Fridays that is $15 and HUGE! Mine was a burger with 4 patties, bacon, an OMELET, and smothered in chorizo cheese sauce!! It was amazing and the service was too!

    We've been to 6Smith multiple times and it never disappoints. The ambience is incredible, set right on the lake with a warm and lively atmosphere that feels elevated without being stuffy. The service is always great. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely on top of things. The wine list is a standout and pairs beautifully with almost every dish. The steaks are consistently excellent, cooked exactly right and full of flavor. For starters, the meatballs are tender and deeply savory, and the bourbon and bacon comes in thick-cut slices with bold, delicious flavor. The Brussels sprouts are crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. "Bread is Life" is another fun starter. The baguette has a thick, crunchy crust that can be a little tough to cut, but the flavor makes it worth the effort. If you want seafood, the salmon is a sleeper hit. The corn and potato combination on the plate works surprisingly well. Their salads are huge and beautifully done. Make sure you save room for dessert. The portions are massive and indulgent. Great food, amazing wine, friendly service, and a lakefront setting you simply cannot beat.

    Oreo Cheesecake
    Joel Jr. M.

    My girlfriend and I came to 6Smith to celebrate a special occasion and from the moment we were seated, we knew it was going to be a great night. Our table was decorated with confetti and even had a personalized card, a small touch, but one that instantly made us feel special. Before I even get to the food, I have to shout out our server, Victoria H. She went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. Seriously, if her manager sees this, give her a raise! It was hands-down some of the best service I've ever had anywhere. Now onto the food; we started with oysters that were meaty, crisp, and full of flavor (which is impressive considering we're in a landlocked state). For dinner, we went with their Restaurant Week menu: I had the tuna tartare, short rib, and Oreo cheesecake. I was a little nervous about the tuna tartare since it was my first time trying it, but it was absolutely delicious. The short rib was melt-off-the-bone perfection, and the Oreo cheesecake was the cherry on top (I could've easily gone for a second slice). To make the night even more special, Victoria surprised us with a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate our occasion. Between the amazing service, incredible food, and thoughtful details, 6Smith gave us a night we won't forget. Can't wait to come back for more!

    We love it here. But the kitchen is slipping. Ordered a dozen oysters and got the world's most sad lemon. :( waitstaff fixed it. Overall we keep coming because everyone here really rocks!

    Chilled Lobster Roll
    Madison M.

    The cutest spot on the lake! I went here for my monthly dinner club and we got the bread is life as an appetizer and I HIGHLY recommend! We split the lobster roll, burger, and watermelon salmon salad with the lobster mac as a shared side. The lobster roll was delicious and the burger was the best thing we ordered! The salad was good but not for the price. Our server recommended dessert and we were blown away at how big this ice cream was!! Server was very kind and the view on the patio was perfect.

    This is it--the perfect place for a summer meal. From the amazing food and great service (thanks,…read moreTheresa!) to the stellar patio, Layline delivers an absolutely amazing experience. If I had found this place earlier this summer, I probably would have spent many happy evenings here. (I truly can't emphasize how well this restaurant captures summer vibes.) The menu was great and ticked all the boxes, taking advantage of the bounty and mood of the season. For our starters, we ordered the arancini and the johnnycake. Both were delicious. The arincini was crispy on the outside and oozed with creamy cheese. The romesco sauce complemented it perfectly. The johnnycake was fluffy and delicious and had the perfect balance of sweet and salty (don't skip the jalapeño infused maple syrup--it isn't spicy; it's just an extension of the sweet and savory balance). For our salads/veggies, we split the last three on the menu: the cauliflower, the Brussels sprouts, and the watermelon salad. My friends, don't skip any one of these. The cauliflower is a cauliflower steak that is perfectly cooked (be sure you get a lovely toasty bit!) and made for delicious savory-salty-tangy mouthful with its tomatoes and onions. Doenjang and tahini? Heck yes! The sprouts were covered in a spectacular mojo verde (imagine what pesto would be if it were Indian and you'd not be far off) that was a creative and absolutely apt pairing. As for the watermelon salad, it was all summer: chunks of watermelon, crumbles of feta, basil, hazelnut, and rings of Calabrian chili. It tasted exactly like relaxing on the porch with your most sophisticated but still totally chill bestie. For my main, I ordered the linguine pomodoro e vodka. Dude. It was so stinking good. I love a good tomato sauce, and this one did not disappoint. Crispy breadcrumbs? Yes. Mint and basil? Yes and yes. Chili oil? Heck yeah! This packed a punch and was an absolutely glorious foil for the burrata. As for dessert, I went for the crème brûlée. It was really good! It was rich and creamy (almost buttery) and absolutely chock-full of vanilla bean. Very good indeed.
