The service has always been exceptional, and the classy décor creates an upscale dining experience at an affordable price point, which can be hard to find these days. This has become my team's and my favorite happy hour spots. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be offering more happy hour specials and extending the happy hour hours. Overall, I've had consistently great experiences here, with the only dish that didn't quite meet my expectations being the beef stew. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Anyhow on to the review: Before I even begin I should announce this PSA, Pinebrook is incredibly busy, with 2-4 hour waits on weekends. Expect to make reservations and wait up to 45 minutes for food to come out, it's well worth the wait. Have eaten here countless times with family and friends, I have never been disappointed coming here! Food is always fresh and amazing! The sticky burgers are fantastic! Serloin is AMAZING! Pizza is great too. And the occasional seafood.. especially the lobster and pistachio crusted mahi mahi with white wine cream sauce (yes you heard that right) are all to die for. Genuinely one of my favourite restaurants with amazing steaks and seafood! Better than most places in the twin cities!!! Very casual atmosphere and everything from burgers to upscale seafood and steak! And don't even get me started on the price.... $19.99 for a 8 oz Serloin, side, and salad?!? Amazing! If you're in the area stop by play some pinball, and eat some good food. Don't forget the reservations. Thank me later.

Pine brook had a reputation for good food. We went there last night and things were far from…read moreexcellent. I had fried shrimp which had little taste. The tartar wasn't very good, which is tough to make taste bad. My wife had a Rachel sandwich, which was so dry she couldn't eat it. No dressing what so ever. She asked for some sort of dressing and the waitress tried arguing with her that she didn't need anything. Since she couldn't eat it without it, the waitress acquiesced. The soda was mixture with water was not correct, so you drinking more water. Tough to tell what the flavor was. Maybe inflation has taken its toll on this restaurant and they didn't wan to increase prices?

First timer! We had family visiting from out of town and…read more decided to grab breakfast together. There was a wait with about five parties ahead of us, but I was honestly impressed with how quickly they moved through the list. We were seated in less than 10 minutes on a busy Saturday. I tried one of the featured breakfast sandwiches, the Breakfast Denver Sandwich. It was $13 and honestly delicious. For the price, though, a side of hashbrowns or fruit would have been appreciated. The biggest reason I'm leaving 3 stars....service. I genuinely felt bad for the wait staff. They were trying, but were so clearly understaffed, especially considering they advertise they recently renovated their space to add more tables. It took over 10 minutes for us to be greeted, or offered a drink. Once our order was in, our waiter tried to be attentive, but simply couldn't keep up. Would I give Merlin's another chance? Sure. We thought the food was great. But, I wouldn't go out of my way, or rush back.

Had time for a cocktail before dinner- decided to drop in. We took two seats at the bar. Service…read morewas a little slow but that's ok. We perused the menu. I didn't see anything I wanted on the cocktail menu. I asked for a Gold Rush- the bartender didn't know it. So I showed him a recipe on my phone and he made it! Woohoo! I was surprised that they did not have agave or honey syrup. He asked a bar back to go to the kitchen and get the cooking honey! Now THIS is service. My only qualm is they took my cocktail away before it was finished. I went to the restroom which is inside the hotel and they cleared our glasses. My husband had finished his but I had two sips left :( Bathrooms are clean. There is an interesting vault on the way there with some old bottles. The food menu looks good. Lots of people were eating at tables behind us. They have a bar menu as well. The place is dark and a bit noisy. They had a couple TVs so we were able to watch the game. I would come back here for dinner.

‼New restaurant try that should go on your list!‼…read more I've wanted to try @churchillstmn in Shoreview for a few years now and just hadn't gotten around to it yet. Finally went and had an awesome lunch that I'll definitely need to go back for again. Everything we ordered was really really good. The menu had so many contenders so I'll need to come back and try other things. We noticed a pancake go by our table and that kinda did it for me. I love me a savory and sweet situation so I went with the following and fell in love with my choices and my Auntie's sandwich too....sorry, not sorry. The Breakfast Sandwich (so much flavor going on in this sandwich and when I ordered the response was ooo good choice, which is a deal maker for me) Kid's Pancake on the side (Uffdah this was yummy) Crispy Chicken Sandwich (not my order today but tried a bite and my goodness was it good. The looks of the breading put me off a bit to start but it was deceiving. It wasn't heavy and thick but it was thin crisp tasty breading to complement the sandwich I was impressed with how flavorful the chicken was and balanced with everything.) Monster Cookie was a delicious treat later too So basically everything we got was great and when I go back I'll maybe get something new and let you know thoughts then. Safe to say you should check it out sometime. For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

I highly suggest the ham and cheese balls with moonshine sauce as an appetizer. The fish sandwich is very well proportioned and filling! I really haven't had one bad item, ever! The burgers are fantastic and the Castle Cream Ale is very cold in washing down the last bite. The beef is from the local meat market so if you need some good cuts of meat for the lake house/campsite/etc. be sure to stop by Thielen's Meats one block north! The wraps kick butt! Spend a day on the lake, then head to Bootlegger's for a great meal and a cold brew. Don't forget to buy a t-shirt!
