Pancakes

First time I have went here and it was not bad, it just didn't blow me away. It's basic breakfast food, they also have sandwiches, and a few dinner options. Nothing that will necessarily bring me back with some of the other options near by. The service was ok albeit a little slow it was not too bad. The bar looked decent and they seem to have some pretty good drink specials if that is your cup of tea. The ambiance is that of a local bar and grill. TVs playing and people talking. Not my favorite place, but certainly not terrible.

Great neighborhood spot with great taps, food and friendly atmosphere. Good service and great food portions.

Coworker friend and I needed to destress and reconnect after work. So we headed to Shore 96 for their happy hour. We squeezed in our food order before 3pm (lunch specials). It was hard to read their beer menu on the wall... don't use the blue chalk! It's not enough of a contrast against the black board. I asked if they had any cider beer (I didn't read any that were familiar to me like Angry Orchard or Stella's) and the young waiter didn't really know... so I ordered a pop instead. CF ordered the apps and was full before they were gone. I ordered the Ceasar wrap and it was made perfectly. The right amount of dressing to not be too dry or too soggy. French fries were hot and crispy.

A classic small pub type of vibe. I love the ambiance of everyone having a great time in their own space. Any restaurant with pull tabs gets an extra star from me! The food wasn't anything special to be honest, but I enjoyed it still. The service was nice and timely. I will be adding this to my favorite local spots for a brewski!

Guinness

Nice place to stop at after snow shoeing. I started with my favorite, a Guinness. I had a spicy Rodeo burger. It was huge and I had tots with it. It was spicy enough and good. I was able to take some home to finish later.

Onion rings

We were excited to try Shore 96 as it is pretty close to home and has a patio which is nice during this time of year. The waitress was very attentive and super nice and the patio area was great. The not so great thing was the food. We got the french dip which my mom was told was one of the best things on the menu and the grilled cheese and tomato soup lunch special as well as some onion rings. The french dip was fine but my mom wanted the bun toasted more and she just said it was pretty plain. The steak fries that came with it though were really good so if you do go here get some fries. My grilled cheese was made with a white cheese which I wasn't expecting. The menu didn't state what type of cheese it was and I didn't get asked. It wasn't a great grilled cheese or tomato soup. I really don't know how you mess up both. The onion rings were gross ours were way over cooked and very crunchy. The people behind us left almost all of theirs and maybe ate four our five. The inside of this establishment is a bar, I wouldn't come here and choose to sit inside it didn't look very inviting or like a restaurant. Overall, we won't be back here, the food was just not good.

My beer

This is a bar and grill located in a strip mall, wouldn't even know it's here! It had the hole in the wall feeling. I came here around 6 on a Saturday night with my husband and kids. It was pretty busy, but seat yourself. We found a high top in the corner. Our server seemed very flustered and pretty busy. It while to get helped, but once we were it was pretty quick. I ordered the chicken strips and Mac and cheese for the kids, and I had the bacon and Cheese burger. It seemed like a fun place to hang out with friends rather than with the kids. They had a good selection of tap beer. It is close to where we live yet first time here. Again, I'd go here with buddies to hang out and have fun.

We made this our choice for a company dinner & made reservations (Parties of six or more, only). We got our drinks while waiting on the remainder of the party to arrive. Their menu is not super-complicated, but it has many intriguing possibilities. I ordered the chili-cheese dog, one of our party ordered the stroganoff, another ordered the lobster grilled cheese (note- I must try this at home), while the last two both chose a surf & turf combo. Along with my dog, I got the tomato-basil soup and an order of deviled eggs. Let's talk about these eggs for a moment - they are perfectly creamy (no chunkage whatsoever) with a small dollop of caviar on top. OMG!!! I could go to town just on these eggs! The tomato soup had excellent flavor, but the emulsion was slightly broken. It did not affect the flavor, however, only the texture. The hot dog itself was almost as good as a Nolan Ryan brisket Sausage. I believe it is a local brand, and as a self-styled dog connoisseur, I consider it a top five dog. Their bun is a buttered-toasted loaf-style. Think classic lobster roll bread. Nice touch. If they need one improvement, it would be to use a larger portion of the chili. Reports on the other items: -The roasted broccoli was no different than steamed. -Although the Stroganoff looked dry, it was rated as excellent on flavor and distribution of meat & noodle. -The most decadent item of the night was probably the lobster grilled cheese. Chosen by a very picky eater - this got a clear five stars. -Both of our diners who ordered the surf & turf combo platters commented on the steaks being extremely small. Visually, I would guess they were 3-4 ounces. They were cooked well, and both dishes came with lobster-mash (another hit). Yes, it seems this place is a bit of an island of lobstrosities in the upper Midwest. Everything with lobster & caviar was over-the-top excellent. Drink prices are very reasonable. Speed of service was consistent with everything I witnessed in the Twin Cities - not rushed, yet attentive. The servers showed great teamwork, and our main server recognized me the following night as he was walking into a different restaurant while I was leaving. I wish I remembered his name, but suffice it to say, I believe he is easily recognized by his Tam o'Shanter. I mentioned this in another review - there is a completely different pace to service here. I simply do not think the folks here rush through anything. Be prepared & do not go in a hurry.

My wife and I had never been to--or even heard of--Baldamar, so when our friends invited us to…read moreRestaurant Week there, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. From the hostess who graciously held the doors open for us in the 95° heat to our incredible server, David, everything was outstanding. We started with cocktails. I had what may have been the best bourbon Old Fashioned I've ever tasted, and my wife enjoyed a wonderfully refreshing cocktail (whose name I, unfortunately, can't remember). We began our meal with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Normally, I'm not much of a Brussels sprouts fan, but I happily cleaned the plate. My wife and I shared the 12-ounce filet mignon, cooked medium rare, and it was absolute perfection. Chef's kiss. David recommended a bottle of wine to pair with our steak. It wasn't inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. But wait... there's more. As incredible as that wine was with the filet, it somehow paired even better (yes, I know that sounds impossible) with the slice of heaven they call chocolate cake. I'm sure it has a much fancier name on the menu, but "slice of heaven" seems more accurate. If you've read my other reviews, you know I have a tendency toward hyperbole. If there were ever a time to lean into it, this is it. THIS MEAL WAS FANTASTIC. THE AMBIANCE WAS PERFECT. THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AND THE COMPANY WAS DIVINE. We will absolutely be back--and when we do, we'll be asking for a table in David's section. (He works Tuesday through Friday.)

I started with the tequila and mezcal Old Fashioned, and it was fantastic. It was well-balanced, beautifully presented, and garnished perfectly. The food was equally impressive. The wings were delicious--crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My only small note would be that the celery was a little limp. The Caesar salad has officially been added to my regular rotation. The jammy egg was cooked perfectly with a rich, yolky center that was still easy to slice. The Parmesan crisps were thoughtfully sized, adding great texture without being so large they scraped the roof of your mouth. The salad was evenly dressed, making every bite flavorful. Overall, excellent food, outstanding cocktails, and warm, attentive service. I'll definitely be back.

We…read moremanaged to grab an early reservation at the time we wanted, but when we arrived, the staff couldn't find our names in the system. That's when we realized we had accidentally booked at their Lakeville location. Thankfully, they were still able to seat us, which we really appreciated. Our server, Asia, was fantastic, very attentive and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The menu is definitely focused on steak and seafood, so if that's not your thing the options are limited, but that was fine with us. The decor stood out to me, especially the old-style photos of cattle on hooks, which gave the place a unique touch since it's a steakhouse. For appetizers, we ordered the Cajun walleye strips, which were fresh and full of flavor. My wife went with the petite filet mignon, while I tried the crab-stuffed Atlantic salmon. Both dishes were excellent, and everything came out hot and well prepared. The booths were comfortable, the vibe was relaxed but upscale, and the overall atmosphere made it feel perfect for a date night. As for dress, I saw a mix of casual and business casual outfits from other guests. Since it's more of a fine dining spot, we were both dress casual, we normally do business to dress casual when we choose fine dining. The restaurant is easy to get to, right off 35E and Little Canada Road, just minutes from Hwy 36 and 694. Parking is a little tight, so I'd recommend arriving early to grab a spot. Overall, between the service, food, and atmosphere, we had a wonderful evening here and will definitely be back.

The place was definitely short staffed...it seemed as though the only waitress was also the bartender so service was a bit slow. It was still busy in the restaurant from the game. I also politely asked if they could change a tv so I could watch my alma mater's football game. I'm a patient person but that took roughly 20ish minutes for her to change it...I think she forgot and then all of a sudden remembered. I ordered what I ordered the last time which was the chimichurri cauliflower steak bowl. It was great but missed the lime wedge it had on my last visit. The food was good. I also noticed that when she did have time to check in on my hubby who was drinking beer she didn't notice that my drink was empty as well as my sons. Therefore she didn't ask if we needed a refill. Hopefully the service will be better next time.
