Pros - Friendly service - Views and atmosphere are great. - Cocktails were decent. - The lunch and dinner menus were good (not great though). Cons - Breakfast was trash (and I say this as someone who is NOT a picky eater). - Also, you can only order your eggs scrambled. Why though. - Overpriced for the quality. Overall it's a decent option if you are staying at the resort but I wouldn't expect to be blown away.

We got a chicken salad sandwich, burger, shrimp tacos and the corn dog and chicken tender kids meals. Overall the food was solid. In particular the shrimp tacos had really good flavor. The shrimp tasted fresh and was really well balanced with the sauce. The kettle chips were also well spiced and not too salty. I loved the options with the kids meals for fresh fruit and vegetables, but something to note is the kids menu doesn't appear online. We have eaten in the restaurant before and there is plenty of space and has a fun aesthetic. Our only negative was they put the chips on top of everything in the to go containers, so the chips got soggy. Another thing to note is it can get pretty busy in town, so parking can be a challenge.

One of Crosslake's Best-Kept Secrets!…read more If you haven't tried Mad Rabbits in Crosslake, you're missing out on one of those little hidden gems that deserves a lot more attention! The food is fresh, hearty, flavorful, and just plain GOOD. They have some great comfort-food dishes that feel homemade but still have that little something extra. I had the Jambalaya Pasta, and WOW. Absolutely delicious! Full of flavor, hearty enough to fill you up, and definitely something I would order again. Mad Rabbits sits just off the main strip near the Town Square, so it can be easy to drive right past without realizing what you're missing. In my opinion, it's one of Crosslake's best-kept secrets. The restaurant itself is also adorable. You can tell a lot of thought went into the decor, the atmosphere is inviting, and the seating is actually comfortable -- which I appreciate! Service can occasionally be a little slower, but this is a family-run business, and I'll gladly give a little grace to a local family putting out genuinely good, fresh food. I could easily see a restaurant like this thriving in a much bigger city. So if you're in Crosslake and trying to decide where to have dinner, get off the main strip and give Mad Rabbits a try. Grab a comfortable seat, order something hearty, and definitely give that Jambalaya Pasta a shot! Supporting a great local family business AND getting a delicious dinner? That's a win in my book.

The highlights were the lobster cerviche lettuce wraps and the beef stroganoff (my hubby said it was ok - he's spoiled by mine - but everyone else raved about it!).

Ok, so this is sort of a wild story, but this place definitely to check out…read more If you don't want to read the whole story here is a quick break down: Food: 4.5/5 (get the fries and Pork Porterhouse) Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Now for the story. We came here for my friend's 30th birthday. It was a large group of us. The hostess didn't assume we were coming given that some of my friends had been calling the restaurant asking about pizza. I think from that point on they knew what they were in for. We all settled in and got ready to order drinks. Before we could our wonderful waitress (whose name escapes me now) told us about their large walk in wine selection. I would say about half the table quickly walked into this amazing wine storage unit. It was floor to ceiling of just amazing wine. They were gracious enough to let us try some of the wine. Drinks and wine ordered we all looked over the food choices. I decided on the red snapper because that is one of my favorite seafood dishes, and I really don't like seafood so that is saying a lot. We also ordered some french fries. Do yourself a favor and order the french fries. They were the closest to perfection a french fry has ever come for me. After our appetizer the main course came. This is where the meal could have gone off course. The snapper came out and it was TERRIBLE. Like some of the worst fish I have ever had. I asked my husband to try it because maybe I was crazy and snapper just wasn't what I remembered it being. He took one bite and almost spit it out. Now you are probably wondering why I gave this place 5 stars if the food was bad. Well the waitstaff came to the rescue. My husband quickly flagged down our waitress and told her about how bad the dish was. She apologized and everything was very civil. To make up for it we ordered the Pork Porterhouse, an absolute MUST. The Pork Porterhouse was like piggy nirvana. I've never had something quite like that before, so I don't have the words to describe it. It was pure bliss. Almost everyone else at the table had also ordered it and you could hear the almost orgasmic moans as they ate. As the night went out and the cocktails/wine/beer kept flowing our group devolved into a rowdy fun mess. Throughout it all the hostess and our waitress kept a big smile on their faces and laughed along with us. My friend even got to show them his dollar trick (which involves throwing a dollar into the ceiling) and they laughed at it (instead of being mad like I thought they would). This is a place that recognizes how to have fun, how to serve people, and knows when they made a mistake. Happily looking forward to my next trip. 49/50

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!
