    best oysters of the day! NOMd: - oysters the had like a smokey grilled flavor to them almost. wish we had stayed here & gotten more than going to 6smith. these oysters are better & cheaper! - ahi tuna crisps not the best i've had but they were good! i would prefer a flakier chip, these ones were more like pita chips. fresh & no tummy ache! - espresso martinis they were really tryna get us drunk shit was potent! vibes, etc.: our waitress was the best. she was so funny & sweet. the sun was shining through the grey clouds it was a great time! will be back for the oysters for sure!

    Three of us came here for lunch. I had the 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad combo. It was really good but strange. It said bbq chips but I didn't think they would be IN the sandwich! I was able to pick most out and eat separately. Salad was awesome. We asked for a booth in the back so we could talk and it was perfect. Great food great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Came here on a Saturday evening without a reservation and was able to be seated quickly! This is a newer addition in downtown wayzata and we absolutely loved it. The decor inside is nice but the best part are patio doors that open up so you can feel the breeze even inside. The open concept was amazing and even though we weren't able to sit on the patio we felt like we were still partially outside. I got the so cal burger which was a great vegan option! There is only two vegan options on the menu but lots of other food options for those without dietary restrictions. The drinks are a bit pricy so we opted for the kombucha and that was great. Overall I am happy they are in downtown wayzata and we will definitely be back!

    We stumbled across this place on a Saturday afternoon in downtown Wayzata and popped in we were seated promptly and before our server could get to us she had just sat a group of 10 the bartender came by to see if we needed a drink while our server took the big table order ... GOOD FORM GUYS ! Then we ordered we thought our order would be a while being as we were being the big table but NO it came right up I had the blues burger really good I mean really good fries were hot and they trust their meat so much they will cook it rare and it was the best burger I have had in years thank you so much ... My wife had the patty melt and she loved it ... so food great service great and the location is wonderful ez parking as well in a upscale small nice restaurant I will be going back RED COW has the best burger experience in town !

    First, our waiter Chris was one of the best we've ever had! Extremely prompt and professional - thank you! Instead of burgers we did the conn salad and tuna sandwich and didn't regret at all. The place was busy on a warm Oct 10th, so nice to have the doors open. Great vibe. Just wish they took reservations.

    What a great location and an unbelievable staff. If you are newer to summers in Minnesota. Wayzata is a a gem city which means at times people can act like they are bigger than life. We hit a busy night with a one hour wait and our server handled groups that don't like to wait for anything with grace and class. Pair that with delicious burgers and beer with fries and cheese curds and you have a great evening by the lake.

    Old fashioned

    Came here for brunch on the weekend and it wasn't crazy busy. Server forgot our appetizer but they brought it out a bit later and took it off the check, so at least that was nice. Server was very nice and apologetic about it! Food was absolutely delicious, every bite was amazing. My drink was very 'meh', was expecting some more sweetness on the old fashioned with the syrup theme and it didn't meld very well.

    S'mores board!  Yum!
    Debra T.

    Great service! Great food! So festive with all the Christmas deco! The whole vibe felt like Christmas and winter and comfy food rolled into a wonderful experience. Note that prices were commensurate with that - but not crazy expensive. For the amount of time we were there, the fun atmosphere and amazing food and staff, it was well worth it!

    Onion rings
    Stephanie P.

    First time at the Wayzata location and it's now our favorite of the ones we've been to. The space is nice and open. Good vibes inside. We started with the chips and onion dip and the onion rings. Chips and dip is a must. Chips are hot and crispy and dip is lick the bowl clean delicious. Onion rings were ok, kinda greasy, sauce didn't add anything, wouldn't get again. We got the double barrel burger with tots and the steak frites. Burger is fantastic. Steak was cooked perfect and bordelaise sauce on top and bernaise sauce on the side were both great, though it was a little spendy for what it was at $27. Chandler was our server, he was friendly and he let us take our time, we never felt rushed. Lots of parking options either on street or in multiple parking garages, both of which are free. We will definitely be back.

We made a reservation on both occasions but didn't have to make it too much in advance so it's always worth checking on. Service is always spectacular with a huge attention to detail and really customized spiels about the menu. The things I've recently tried for drinks have included the spritz del ambratta, the fiore, and a sparkling red from their wine selection. I find myself going back to the Fiore and would recommend that most although their wine is a solid selection as well. In my opinion, the best starter combination is the focaccia plus the lemony beans. The focaccia is solid and it's so good to dip in the mixture that the beans are doused in. The Caesar was decent as well but you can't miss with that other combo. Then, of course, the mains. If you love creamy pasta, do yourself a favor and get the cavatelli. One of my favorite dishes I've had there; I kept almost comparing it to an adult Mac and cheese. Great for sharing if creamy pastas are a bit too rich for your liking. The lasagna is always a close second and you can't go wrong with it. My friend adored the pickle pizza and I thought it was solid too although I would still probably get the cavatelli or lasagna if you are between that and the pizza. Another great shareable. The saffron spaghetti was decent with some really good bite from the noodles and the taste of saffron really coming through, but I would probably get those other dishes before I would order that. On the first occasion, I was there we were celebrating two of my friends' 30th birthdays and H&S did such a good job of celebrating and making them feel special plus they brought out French silk pie cannolis for us plus glasses of sparkling wine, so I would highly recommend this place as a celebratory dinner. I hope it becomes a big mainstay in twin cities/twin cities adjacent cuisine.

My group got in with only about 40 min until close and I really expected to be either refused or told to hurry up because of the time. I would have understood that too since no one enjoys being held late. What I found was a crew happy to greet us and telling us to take the time that we needed to make some first-time visit decisions. There were still a couple of tables occupied when we were seated but within about 20 minutes, we had the place to ourselves. Nevertheless, we were never told to rush and even when the check was brought to me, our server told me with a genuine tone, "no rush". The pizza is from a brick oven and is best characterized as having a crispy, cracker-like crust with a red sauce bordering on the sweet side of the spectrum. The portions and toppings were fresh, generous, and appealing to the eye upon delivery. Definitely no complaints about the food! I really liked that they have an affordable and approachable wine list. We had a bottle of DOCG level Chianti for $29. Sure, the wines on the list are not going to win any worldwide gold medals or be on a collectible list but this is casual pizza and not a Michelin starred destination. You might be able to go to a spot with a fancy expensive wine list every few months. I could go here a few times per week. Let that sink in. I have not seen a decent bottle of wine in a restaurant at the pricing I saw here in quite some time! Kudos to Olive's for being affordable! For a first time visit, I loved several things here. I would be happy to go back for their pizza and wine list. But I am most happy to go back to support their pleasant and professional front of house staff. They definitely deserve to be rewarded.

I did notice they're looking to hire more folks - hopefully they add servers as they go into their busy summer season. Don't waste your time inside and snag a seat on their outdoor patio. If you can't find seats there go elsewhere. It's the only redeeming part of this location.

We talked about our dogs (mini dachshund for me, Malinois for him) and our shared love of Costa Rica. I ended up ordering the French Onion soup and a Lobster Roll with fries. The soup came out first and it was just as sumptuous and beefy as I hoped. The melted Gruyère and caramelized onions made a hearty starter. The Lobster Roll was perfect: chopped lobster on a warm, buttered, toasted roll topped with slivers of pickled carrots. The lobster was chilled and didn't need any dressing at all. The fries were plentiful, thin, and perfectly crispy yet still tender inside. A home run. Excellent food, warm and welcoming atmosphere, and terrific staff made it a delightful lunch. Thanks, Bill! ;)
