Best Cozy Restaurants in Hudson

Such a wonderful place! If you haven’t ever been to the Lake Elmo Inn, it’s worth a trip. Located in the quaint downtown of Lake Elmo, this historic restaurant has been serving since 1881. I first went there about 5 years ago for a celebration with a group of friends, and its charm has stuck with me ever since. One of my favorite places to go. It definitely has a traditional ambience - you feel like you are walking into something special. But it’s comfortable - from the host, to the dining rooms to the service. It nods to what fine dining used to be - and what a great feeling that creates. And the food! The menu is perfectly curated to offer familiar favorites, and interesting evolutions of the standards. So make a date with your favorite somebody, and treat yourselves to an absolutely delightful experience.

We love this place for all kinds of occasions. The food, drink and service is always very good. The variety of food and drink including wine options are better than anywhere else in Stillwater. The only issue we encountered was that the sliding entrance doors opened whenever anyone got close to them, so they were open too often and for long enough periods of time that we had to wear our coats while we ate, because it’s cold outside in January. So make sure to plan ahead with a warm coat and whatnot in case your table is close to the front doors. We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful time at Danny's. I had Mahi Mahi which was absolutely delicious. The other guests food also was delicious. Our Server was very friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed her and hope to go back real soon. I give my meal and the other 2 guest meals a 5 Star.

We ate at the Afton House Inn Fine Dining, Dining Room. The staff is courteous and friendly. They were helpful and so kind. We just loved our server, Phillipe! The blackened Mahi Mahi was s bit dry, but we were told they may try a new recipe on the menu to remedy that so do ask if they have a new addition to try. Steak Diane is always good and something we have been back for numerous times! The green beans and potatoes were cooked to perfection as well! It was the perfect birthday celebration for my husband and a wonderful place to relax after the holiday. The festive decorations were still up so it looked so beautiful.

We were surprised at the price of the entrees. Our waitress was very good and the food was also good.
