Burger and fries - blah!
K N.

Extremely average food at premium prices ($19 burgers! $20+ salads with a protein!). Food was all over-salted. Fries smell like they were fried with fish. Only saving features were the ambiance and good service.

The original plan was to go to Zorbaz for tacos and/or pizza pies, but it seemed pretty packed there. Decided instead to check out Lure Lakebar just across the way, a party of 3 for dinner. Seated right away, in a semi-indoor table area with open-air access with views of the patio, sand volleyball court, and of course, the lake! Most patrons seemed to be coming from the nearby golf course/club. TVs around the bar in case you wanted to catch up on some other live sports coverage. We did not get there in time for Happy Hour Specials but the list looked pretty good. We started with a half dozen raw oysters on the half shell to share, which came with lemon, horseradish, mignonette, and hot sauce. I had the Lobster Roll with Kettle Chips (Tender pieces of lobster meat tossed in house chive & lemon dressing, toasty split-top bun, greens). This was buttery and really hit the spot. My companions had the 8-ounce Grilled Salmon and the Seafood Bowl (shrimp, lobster, ahi, crab, roasted corn, Manhattan style tomato broth, arugula, grilled baguette). My only regret is not getting a side of beer cheese for the kettle chips! Next time I'd go for the signature Pan Fried Walleye, Fish & Chips (Walleye), or the Walleye Hoagie as it is the Minnesota state fish after all.

I liked it for the view. The ambience and the live music. I really enjoyed the service by oour waitress. It was her first week and she did a great job. I did not particularly enjoy my food. I got the seafood boil and I thought it was under seasoned. I didn't particularly enjoy my food but the crowd. The scenes and the music made up for it.

Lovely spot by the lake. I visit Alexandria several times a year and one of my biggest disappointments is that there are very few places to eat on or near one of the many lakes! I can not believe I have never been here before. The options for vegan and vegetarians are decent- better than average greater MN restaurant but I wish there was more creativity. Not sure there any truly vegan items but I had the mushroom sandwich and held the cheese. It was quite good as was the tomato soup (vegetarian not vegan). The Serrano margarita sounded promising but was disappointing. Why do restaurants make these so sweet? Way too much syrup and soda. Make it smaller with no soda, more lime and syrup. I want to taste the tequila land lime. The setting is perfect. Many seats have a lakeside view and the food was generally good. This will be a new favorite for my Alexandria visits

We came by boat and we were able to dock across the street from the restaurant.

Hey, what's with all the negative reviews of this place? If you are on lake time, vacation time... get over it. This place provided the perfect amount of drinks, food and attitude that I needed today. We sat mid bar with air conditioning and open doors to the outside and it was so comfortable.

Ice Water!!

Sis and I vacationed in area in mid-March. Crazy in know... should have gone to Mexico. Alexandria is a town to be explored in the Summer!! We had dinner at the Lure Lakebar. This place would be amazing when you can actually see the Lake and not a frozen white tundra. Food was delicious, cocktails were tasty. It was fun to be seated in a booth that has windows into the kitchen. We got to watch food come off the line and many malts being made. Would love to come back again if we're every in the area again.

Ribeye steak dinner, with greasy potatoes.
John N.

After our order was in and we had our appetizer we waited and waited for drink refills so I had to get my own from the bar. Another five minute wait after that, still no server so I had to get my mother another mojito from the bar. When the food arrived, my wife was served walleye when she had ordered salmon and the server had the nerve to show my wife what she had written down, walleye of course, and she said "I wouldn't have written down walleye if you didn't say it". My wife doesn't like walleye and we all heard her say salmon! To top it off, I ordered the ribeye steak and granted it said "market price" but never did I imagine it was $120 on the bill and the potatoes were dripping with grease to the point I couldn't eat them. We could have paid less @ Manny's Steakhouse in Minneapolis for less and the service would have been excellent. For the prices in this place the service should never be this bad. The music was bad and too loud, and the place was nearly empty. We will never go back.

Chelsey took care of us! Love the fish tacos. Hubby said BBQ sauce on his burger was a bit tangy. But gorgeous bar, ambience! Greta service. 10/10.

Walleye & Onion Rings (lots of bones)
Stephanie H.

The vibe was five star, great music and atmosphere! Food was a bit overpriced but descent. Lots of bones in the walleye... the sandwich was just a dressed up grilled cheese.

Walleye hoagie
Kassi G.

Very beautiful atmosphere! The food was very good too as well as the service. We got the clam chowder and walleye hoagie. Delicious! The hoagie was light on the aioli which I liked but my friend wished there was more. It was nice and lemony. I preferred the fish without the buns. The clam chowder was delicious! Would go back! Oh and get the chips. They're good!

View of Lake from outdoor patio!

Nice atmosphere, pretty lake view, live music and yummy food. We had the fish tacos and Cobb salad. Both were great!

Mediocre food for far too much money. The place itself looks legit with a great atmosphere but just save yourself and don't stop here.

This is in the cutest, vintage old building off the main street running through downtown…read moreAlexandria. You can park in the lot in the back or park on the street. It's a little hard to spot because the sign doesn't stand out and it's tucked between buildings. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. I love the idea the owner has about bringing fresh locally farmed ingredients to the menu. The menu is simple and it was perfect for lunch. We tried the tomato basil soup, smoked turkey sandwich and chicken salad sandwich. Everything tasted so good! Just a heads up, they aren't huge sandwiches but it was plenty for me.

Let's describe the restaurant - a french restaurant "out of place" in Alexandria Minnesota. So they…read moreserve sandwiches at lunch and dinner as a necessary way to provide interest in the restaurant. But - they have a very interesting french style dinner menu as well. Intriguing. We were traveling and our anniversary was while we were in Alexandria. We wanted something special, and a french dinner seemed cool. But wait. They had a "chef's table" as well. Not an everyday thing, and not inexpensive, but - a chef's table in Alexandria Minnesota? We were totally there. A five course meal, wines accompanying, and it was totally delightful. We often blog our travels, and we wrote pages about this meal. Kudos to Matthew and Amber!

I had a patty melt with the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream. The patty melt was great and they dice the onions which makes it much cleaner to eat. The seasoned sour cream was a little bland, I don't think I'd order that again. My friend had the 1/4 white broasted chicken with french fries. They even gave him an extra wing! My friend said the chicken was bland, I thought it just needed a little salt. I really appreciate when cooks don't over-salt their food, this lets me get the seasoning right where I like it. Service was friendly and quick, the locals were friendly as well. And the prices were great. You can't go wrong here!
