We were seated immediately and our waitress had a carafe of water waiting and quickly took our drink order. The drinks were really good and the bartender obviously knew what she was doing as my old fashioned was perfect and my daughter's espresso martini was fabulous! I ordered the filet mignon with grilled shrimp added. It came on top of cooked carrots and a bed of buttery mashed potatoes. It was perfect! Literally melted in my mouth! My daughter ordered pepper glazed pork loin or something like that and she loved it! We finished with their famous Crinkle dessert. If you've never tried this, it is an absolute must have! No idea how they make this but it's SO good! 5 out of 5 stars Blackboard! I'd give you 6 if they'd let me!!!

We didn't know if it was seat yourself or if we should wait for a host, there wasn't a sign or anyone to greet you at the front. Our waitress was great, she was able to recommend food & drinks, checked on us multiple times, and was super friendly. Our drinks came quick, but our food took forever. (A table next to us was seated, ordered, ate, paid & left before we got our food). When it finally came, the fries were cold but everything else was warm. For being cold the fries were still yummy, which means they're probably amazing when they're fresh and hot! We had the pulled pork (8/10), sweet potato quesadilla (7/10), garlic parm wings (6/10), and buffalo chicken sandwich (9/10). Overall, I'd come back if I was in Detroit lakes again. The place itself is fun, large strip mall parking lot, extensive bar, lots of high top seating, and decent patio.

Table for 7 is a farm to table restaurant and all the ingredients were fresh. Started off with the Beet and Blueberry salad, must try. Winner of the entrees was the Lamb Chops so amazing, cooked perfectly and paired with roasted potatoes. The Duck L'orange & Blueberry burger were also really amazing. We also tried the Caprese and the tomatoes were fresh and for dessert we had a variety of homemade ice creams made with local berries: Strawberry & Blueberry was the cherry on top for this amazing restaurant. I hope to go back to Bemidji one day just to eat here again. I miss you already Table for 7. Shoot out to the staff, everyone was super friendly and welcoming!

I have never had a bad meal here. As a pescatarian/vegetarian, I appreciate the many healthy yet tasty options. The drink menu is well curated. During a recent summer visit, I enjoyed a berry spicy Margarita. I tend to avoid fruit margaritas because they are often too sweet, but this one balanced the fruit and spice well. I would definitely order again. Even though I was the only patron on the patio, the staff was very attentive - refilling water as needed and checking in an appropriate amount. I would recommend this place anytime you're traveling near or through Perham. In fact if only it were in my neighborhood, I'd visit much more often.

Karen Sposato, owner, and Eduardo Nogal, Director of Operations were both in attendance. Neither the food nor the wine disappointed! Chef Justin made an insanely delicious five course meal that hit every taste bud in all the right ways and the wine paired so perfectly with each course. I would say that the scallops were probably the best I've ever tasted and the short rib skewers were incredible, melt in your mouth. Lastly the dessert which the chef called milk cake was like a cross between Tres Leches and tiramisu. The cake layers soaked up the milky caramel sauce and it was sublime. As for the wines, the Chardonnay was my favorite of the whites, light on the palette and a bit of citrus and just a hint of oak. The Cabernet Franc was a knock it out of the park red. It had fruity flavors to begin and then turned dark and spicy with rich peppery flavors. We can't wait for the next wine dinner with the crew at Cru! Also, can't wait for our wine to be delivered!

Negatives: I'm not sure anyone in the kitchen was actually tasting the food. The toast under the pate' was hard as wood. The cod was so salty it was almost like canned anchovies, as if it had accidentally been salted four or five times. The rabbit was extremely dry, as were the roasted carrots. The flan was so pretty and tasted fine, but the dried apple decoration was soggy and chewy. Everything looked so very pretty - I wish the food had tasted as good as it looked.
