Side salad
Stephanie P.

Decent meal as we were in the area after visiting Chanhassen dinner theater. We started with a dinner salad and cup of French onion soup before our entrees. Both were good. We also had the meatloaf and chicken finger entree. Meatloaf was ok, was a little bland in flavor. Chicken fingers were standard. Portion was huge, almost to big. Scott was our server and he was great, very nice.

Chicken Parmesan and House Chardonnay
Andrea J.

We had such a lovely experience here! The restaurant is beautiful and gives off the perfect vibe for a nice date night. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious and the Happy Hour 2 for $10 house wine was awesome! Shout out to our waitress, Isabel M., who was SO friendly, attentive, and kind!! Looking forward to coming back!

This is the Mac & cheese. Where is the cheese? Nothing but bread crumbs & macaroni.
Ernie C.

The ribs were good. Just a tad spicey. The Mac & cheese leaves much to be desired. I get better Mac & cheese at Famous Dave's in Minnetonka Mn. When told the waitress I wanted a takeout box, I told her I couldn't eat this. There is no cheese. She looked at me and said-You can take it & put cheese on it. I looked at her as if she lost her damn mind. Not a happy camper!

Our Original Baked Potato Soup Baked French Onion Soup
Debra M.

Wow, I discovered a dish at this old haunt that I liked so much I got it three times in a week: Georges Bank Scallops with asparagus risotto. Perfectly cooked all-round, from the translucent, creamy scallops to the delicious risotto. Perfect. I have also recently enjoyed the baked French onion soup; however the loaded baked potato soup was disappointingly kind of bland. Those scallops, though. So yummy.

Chipotle Chicken Nachos
Julie P.

I dined in here and really enjoyed the food. They had happy hour specials which make it quite affordable. The restaurant overall was clean as well as the bathrooms. The service was just ok. I think they are understaffed. It took a really long time to order and also the server didn't seem to come check on us.

Mirabelle - Roasted Carrots

Mirabelle

First off, Mirabelle is a beautiful restaurant! The lower part surrounds a large 20+ circular seat…read morebar with additional seating at tables. This would be an impressive date spot, or just a place to gather for drinks, as well as dinner. The upper part, where we sat, gave off very cozy almost bed and breakfast vibes and is romantic in a different, but very nice way. We had a table overlooking the lower part of the restaurant. Moving onto the food, we went for restaurant week. From the restaurant menu, I ordered the Wild Rice Soup, the Steak Frites, and the chocolate cake. Because of the upgrade charge on the steak, my dinner was $60. The wild rice soup was excellent. It was less creamy, but in the best way possible. In fact, I'd say that it was the best wild rice soup I've ever had and would definitely order it again. The steak was a ribeye and was very flavorful. I could definitely taste its smokey flavor. However, it was a bit tougher than I would have liked. The fries were plentiful and they were excellent. We had to take the chocolate cake home because we were too full to eat it, but it was dense and had a deep chocolate taste, but was a bit too sweet for my taste. My wife ordered the Wednesday special, which was beef stroganoff ($24). It had tender cubes of beef and the sauce was very rich. She enjoyed it very much and I agreed. However, it was too much for one portion, so we took home about half and enjoyed it the next day. She also ordered a Caesar Salad, which was excellent with a very good dressing. The service did have some lapses in it. I had to ask for a steak knife because the steak was difficult to cut with the original knife. This is usually automatic. The waitress was also at a loss when I asked her to describe an ingredient mentioned on the menu that I never heard of. Finally, she seem to have been abducted by aliens when we finished our meal and wanted to get a check. On the other hand, she was pleasant and seemed eager.

Went here for a spontaneous happy hour on a Wednesday afternoon and arrived just in time to put in…read morea happy hour order. This is a newer spot in Excelsior that opened summer 2025. Here's my review of the food we ordered: Cocktail of the hour - aka "Golden Hour" - 8.5/10 Reminded me of mulled cider, notes of honey, very refreshing Pork Belly Steam Buns - 8.1/10 Nice texture, very tender and flavorful Mini Banh Mi - 7/10 Not bad, would have preferred the more traditional pork filling Crispy Chicken- 8.7/10 This really surprised me, from appearance the chicken didn't look that special but it was well seasoned and the sweet chili glaze really stole the show and elevated this dish! Mirabelle Smash Burger - 8.9/10 I'm a sucker for smash burgers and this one did not disappoint. Nice crispy bun and a special mustard sauce that we enjoyed and a different flavor I don't usually have on my burger Sticky Ribs - 5/10 Unfortunately these were quite dry and was comparing to sticky ribs I had last week at CoV that were fall off the bone Overall good spot, service, atmosphere, and would be happy to return. Prices were also great for happy hour.

Maynard's is more than a restaurant -- it's an experience!…read more There's always something going on. Music playing, boats docking, people laughing, and conversations competing with the lively atmosphere. It's high-energy, bustling, and just plain fun! This probably isn't the place for a quiet, intimate conversation, but if you're looking for good food, good drinks, and a lively waterfront atmosphere, Maynard's delivers. Is it a little loud? Absolutely. A little busy? You bet. But that's part of the charm. Come ready to enjoy the energy, take in the activity, and have a good time! It might mean having to find your server but you don't come here with a time table

A great space for ourdoor eating! During the day or night, this place is PACKED!…read more There's a million servers, all amazing at running around for the guests or offering recommendations. One thing I hate is how the potato salad has bacon in it, but isnt advertised as that... and as someone who doesnt eat bacon ive had to send it back multiple times. I enjoyed the Crispy Salmon Bowl recently, but the salsa being cold cooled the bowl a bit too much for my liking - but reheated at home, it was great! (I got it without the ginger marinade, and happy I did because I hate soy sauce flavors). The firecracker wrap seemed to be the hit and the honey mustard! Stop into the Wharf to enjoy the lake and great food!

We had guests from out of town and decided on Coalition to see the town and Lake Minnetonka…read more They serve brunch on weekends. Free parking right behind in the East lot, it was already more than half full at 10am. They had just opened and there were already a few tables occupied. It felt busy and maybe they didn't have enough staff for that time. There were only 2 staff taking orders. We stayed inside as it was a very hot day. We've been there for dinner before and always liked the modern cozy interiors. Our server took our drink orders and gave us a complimentary order of cardamom donuts, as if they knew it would be a while. The brewed coffees came out pretty fast but he didn't come back to take our order until almost 10:30, when we finally flagged him down. The food didn't take long but he forgot to put in my MILs side order of bacon so that didn't come out until we were mostly done eating. They had a good breakfast selection and lunch was available as well. We ordered: Salmon Eggs Benedict French Toast Avocado Toast Pesto Frittata Grilled Chicken sandwich Crispy chicken sandwich Everyone was happy with their food and we're happy to find another brunch place to take visitors to.

Nice place for brunch Love the exposed brick and low…read morelighting for ambiance Servers were very accommodating with some of our tables specific requests The lemon blueberry pancakes were delicious, tad too sweet, French toast was average The hashbrowns are a big portion and very buttery Some items could use more seasoning Decent size portions The lunch and dinner menu also look pretty good This location offers street parking and also there is a free parking lot in the back that they share with other businesses
