The jerk chicken nachos - huge portion and great flavors!
Phyllis M.

Such a fun spot! We came on a weeknight and it was not crazy but bustling! Honestly we'll have to come back to try more, but the food we did have was delish! Service was great, friendly and efficient! Our two kiddos ordered kids meals, which were fine and what they would want (cheeseburger sliders and mac and cheese). Hubby and I shared some cheese curds, which were yum! Sometimes restaurants do the heavy breading, but these were light and crispy and stringy! Exactly what you'd want! For dinner we did tacos (and by that I mean my husband got them). He did a trio - grilled mahi mahi, jerk chicken and jerk pulled pork. I only managed to get a bite of the grilled fish taco, and it was tasty and flavorful! I was having a hard time choosing, and ended up getting the jerk chicken nachos. These were the largest plate of nachos I've ever seen! And I loved them! Lots of different toppings made for great bites, plus loved the white queso! So delish! We'll be back to try more! Their menu is super fun with a lot of Caribbean influenced dishes!

Stopped in for a early dinner, the staff were very kind! The food was good and everyone enjoyed their meal! The floor is very sticky and felt like the menus were as well, minor things but made it feel a little dirty. Would come back for causal cocktails.

When in Excelsior you have to eat here! We stopped here because my good friend is the cook. This place is great, the beer is local and the food is out of this world! We started with the Caribbean Egg Rolls, so delicious and the house made honey dipping sauce I'd put on anything!! We then had 2 tacos: jerk chicken and jerk pulled pork, so much flavor! For our main dishes we had the labor inducer burger and the jerk chicken sandwich. So much wonderful food, I cannot wait to come back and try so many other things! Definitely a place to check out, this place will be around for a while.

Curry shrimp bowl

This restaurant is modern, clean and really makes you feel like you are somewhere tropical. The menu is large and a lot of items sounded good. I went with the shrimp curry bowl and it was very flavorful and well composed! For cocktails, I tried both a pomegranate and a raspberry mojito and they are both mediocre; the pomegranate was better than the raspberry because the raspberry tasted very artificial. All-in-all the drinks are very over priced, $12 for mediocre is not good. I'll come back to try more food but will skip the cocktails.

Labor Inducer Burger
Ben K.

We are always looking for spots to eat in Excelsior, so we were excited to try something new! Parking can be hit or miss, as there is primarily street parking nearby! The space itself is definitely an upgrade from the dark and drabby previous establishment occupying the space. Walls are lined with tropical wallpaper, Jimmy Buffet was playing over the speakers, and plenty of natural light flooded the space. My only comment was that the tables and chairs are all just kind of skewed around the open room. I think it would greatly benefit from some built-in booths, and some organization/order to their table line-up. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and on-time throughout our stay. The menu has a lot of options, including true American bar food but also tropical-inspired cuisine. There were a few different things that sounded yummy, but I decided on the Labor Inducer burger. It was perfect! Juicy, flavorful, and appropriately cooked. The fries were substantial and perfectly paired with their island dipping sauce. Excited to come back and try more! Newer establishment, still working out their groove, but definitely worth checking out for some casual, yet tasty food in Excelsior!

Burger that no one could finish

Safe to say no one cleared their plate, and we ate a clear plate type of family. However ambiance was pretty. Food was just simply not good.

There is absolutely zero free parking at their restaurant. You have to pay for parking to go support their business.

Very slow service, even when there were very few tables full on a weekday at lunch. Food was pretty bland and just ok.

This past Father's Day my mom and I had brunch at Layline. It was a special place for us because my…read moredad owned the building before it was Gary's first class car care. My dad passed 8/30/2024 so we came to have breakfast in his old shop to celebrate him. I loved how they kept the building as is with some additions and lovely upgrades. The bar area and some seating is located in the previous two stall garage. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing!

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.

Mirabelle was chosen for friends night out due to the social media post and it looking great on socials. I'd first like to say the staff here were amazing. We were helped by quite a few of them during our dining experience. We were even given a guided tour of the rentable event space, as well as the 2 other restaurant concepts they run, which are connected to Mirabelle. Shiki - Japanese inspired noodle bar, and Parlour Bar - Speakeasy vibes. Mirabelle has more of a supper club atmosphere. Back to the dining experience, we all ordered the drink special - I don't recall the name but we all enjoyed it. Kind of like a cosmo. We were able to catch a few things from the happy hour. As I said earlier I was looking forward to ordering the wings, which I did, but was later informed they ran out - we did go at dinner opening on a Monday - maybe they had a super busy week. I was left to only trying cheese curds and fries which were okay, nothing special. Others tried the caesar salad, a shrimp pasta dish, popcorn, and a few other dishes. Overall they weren't very impressed either. Probably would have enjoyed the other concepts a bit more personally. Also had popovers - they were very egg forward - smell and taste - also something no one really enjoyed at our table. The drinks and vibes were amazing though!

The old saying goes "consistency is key", and consistency is what you get at Hazelwood. The…read moreslightly elevated price point matches their slightly elevated menu, vibe, and service. If you want to come here even relatively close to peak hours, I would highly recommend a reservation. My personal favorites here include the Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich and the Minute Chicken. I've gotten both items multiple times and they are consistently great. Do yourself a favor and get the Dessert Flight; the portions are more than fair for the price and the Banana Cream Pie is to die for. We recently did brunch at Hazelwood for the first time. The Monkey Bread is a generous size with a crispy outside and gooey center - exactly how you would want it to be. The Smoked Gouda Hash browns are worth getting on the side with any item that doesn't already include them; they are so creamy and have a rich cheesy flavor with a nice crispy top layer. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the Avocado Toast. The bacon bits, lettuce, and poached egg completely overwhelm the avocado, which is virtually nonexistent. It's served on a very small and boring piece of wheat toast.

There is a new spot on Lake Minnetonka and it is definitely worth a visit!!…read more Lost Bay is tucked into Tonka Bay and features a beautiful outdoor bar and patio seating area over looking the lake with plenty of spots to pull your boat up to. We came on a busy Sunday evening, Memorial Day Weekend, and put our name down for a table. We were told it would be a responsible 25-30 minute wait. A wait that only ended up being about 15 minutes. We were seated at a table right next to the water which we loved. Very promptly greeted by our server, Julie, who was awesome. She was extremely knowledgeable to the menu, made plenty of recommendations, and was very humorous making the visit even better. Started with the Loaded Nachos which were HUGE. They were piled high with all the goodies, plenty of queso, crispy chips, and extremely fresh ingredients. At first I was turned off by the $22 price tag but the size is actually a great value and they are perfect for probably 6-8 to share as an app or 2-4 to share as an entree. You can pop tan extra $10 for brisket, we just stuck with the ground beef. I also got the Stacked Club Sandwich which, again, was a massive portion. The deli meat tasted like it was freshly sliced and had a nice flavor. The lettuce and tomato were also very fresh tasting. This a perfect spot to stop and take in some sun, have a few drinks, and a bite to eat, all while enjoying stunning views of the lake.
