The interior modern and charming with a 4 seasons large patio looking right at the water. They have a bar and high top tables as well. They recently added a great daily happy hour with small bites, cocktails and wines/beers/sake. Definitely try their rotation sake for only $5. We also enjoy their other happy hour cocktails and hand rolls. Food is quality but definitely have smaller portions that are meant to shared! Their tuna is to die for.

I've eaten here once before for a special event year prior and the food options were better in my opinion. The small plates got even smaller and more expensive. Not sure if the quality was better on things either. I was with 3 others and we all shared plates. chicken karaage was alright. I liked the crispiness was the sauce was nothing extravagant. Truffle Edamame - best thing I had! The only thing craveworthy that I had. Shrimp taco - smelled fishy but tasted better. I was able to split it into 2 since the shells are so small and the filling worked well in the 2 provided. Crispy rice with spicy tuna - this was fun to do but not as good as we were hoping. It was missing something. Shishito peppers- these were large and many had the seeds. Spicier due to this. Wagyu sushi tacos $24 for the tiny things and it looked like ground wagyu... felt like a cash grab. I didn't eat them but my crew ate 2 and didn't want to eat the last one. Chicken fried rice - good size and really gingery. Not my favorite but it was edible. Better value than other items. The sushi felt like Crave and they were teeny tiny. I didn't enjoy the fishiness so I was one and done. (I normally love seafood) Dessert- we split 2.. the churros and the tres leches. The churros needed some sweetness in the mixture as they were bland. I was hoping for a really good churro and these were just ok. The tres leches wasn't traditional and they should change the name to avoid confusion. They have a better happy hour if you sit at the bar. Our server was able to order us some fries. Despite not being in the bar area. Overall, I wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here. The drinks and happy hour, maybe. The cocktail menu was very nice and I tried a few of my friends drinks.

This is awesome because I like to get some of my standards and mixing in some of the wines they recommend too.

It's the kind of space where you want to get dressed up just to sit in it. Truly one of the most beautifully designed dining rooms in the Twin Cities. The staff was also really helpful when it came to navigating gluten and dairy preferences, which I always appreciate. Good cocktail options and great presentation in nice glassware. The Parker House rolls were the clear table favorite, served with three different spreads that were all worth trying. The Brussels sprouts were divine and the beef tenderloin was good, though the portion felt a little small for the price. The short rib special was amazing, but they weren't able to substitute the potatoes for a gluten free option, which meant the dish came out incomplete at full cost. Our waitress was apologetic and lovely about it, but it's not a great touch for a restaurant that otherwise does a nice job acknowledging dietary needs. The Eloise sundae is an absolute must. Done tableside and completely phenomenal.

The store itself is crowded and disorganized. It's a little dingey and rundown. For the price you pay, you'd be better fitted to stop by the Tonya Bottle Shop or make the trip to Total Wine. The biggest detractor is the customer service, if you can call it that. You can expect to wander aimlessly for ages before somebody even approaches to help you. There is one woman in particular who pulls an attitude every time I'm there. I understand retail is tough (I did it for 8 years), but again for the prices you pay you might as well go somewhere else.

So many beers that I had never had before that you could buy in singles. They came up to the Twin Cities a couple years later. Still pretty sweet for awhile. The times they are a changin'. These days, at least half of the shelf space that they used to have for beer is now THC and NA beverages. What they do have for beer almost never rotates and there is way too much emphasis on the local. Total Wine can still be fun if you visit one somewhere that you have never been before to find some new to you beers. The only reason I go them locally anymore is the sheer sake of convenience. Prices are up everywhere, but it doesn't seem like Total Wine has the bargain prices compared to their competition that it used to either.

Fortunately, when you drop by Glen Lake Wine and Spirits, it doesn't matter how well versed you are on wines. This little shop has a great wine section - many, many different bottles of vino in varying price ranges. Don't fret, you tennis playing MInnetonka housewives, there's plenty of good vodka, too! The employees at Glen Lake Wine and Spirits are really helpful - recently, I walked in and said, "Hey, I'm going to mull some wine, so I want something cheap, dry, and with a good flavor." The guy behind the counter took me to a $6 bottle and said, "This is your wine." Seriously, it happened just like that. And you know what? It was perfect! Protip: When you're browsing the wine section, look for the tags under the bottles that have the employee faces on them. They're usually priced very well - often on sale - and are really well-described. (e.g. "Figgy taste, smooth finish, pairs well with steak.") These folks have the knowledge to be wine snobs, but they're not. They're just as comfortable telling you about the wide variety of local microbrews that they carry, the strange and exotic vodkas (today I saw a buttered popcorn flavored variety!) and the many other alcohols that they carry. Best yet, you're not going to go broke here. Nothing is over-priced. It's inexpensive, reasonable, and great customer service is always included. What more would you want?
