Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Albert Lea

We've dined at Lurcat several times, and it never fails to impress. Last night we stopped off after a visit to the Minneapolis Institute of Art and chose to keep things simple, ordering off the bar menu. The mini-burgers and fries (with a side dish of Bearnaise for dipping) were perfect, and the warm cinnamon sugar mini donuts for dessert were just what we needed on a cold January night. As always, service was excellent.

Great steak house. I had a filet mignon which was cooked the way it was meant to be: Pittsburgh. What a delight! Absolutely lovely. The portion size for the steak was great. I cannot say the same about the fried onions but you are in America so it’s not unexpected (I ate maybe 20% of what was in the dish and I am a big guy who loves onions). It’s rare I say this but the onions were a little too salty for me. I had a key lime pie which was good. It should probably say Key Lime Cheese Cake to be fair. The portion was excessive. Roughly 1/4 of a full size cake! Eating it would definitely exceed 2000 calories on its own. I had a fantastic time. The staff was uber nice. If you crave a steak it’s a reference.

An outstanding first experience. I splurged on 5 ounces of A5 Wagyu beef filet and it was simply the best beef I have ever tasted. Our server, “Golf”, was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.

This is truly one of my favorite spots to eat in the Twin Cities. The food is absolutely phenomenal! I adore how all the food is served to be shared with the table and all the portions are appropriately sized to order a variety of dishes. The atmosphere always adds to the overall dining experience. It is always buzzing inside and the dining room is just so beautiful. The staff members are also incredibly knowledgeable and polite. Young Joni is without a doubt a 5-star experience!

As always, amazing food in a great environment. The staff was lovely; prompt seating, prompt service, they kept our beverages topped up and couldn't have done anything better. The food was perfection. If you're looking for great food with a twist, in a unique setting, this is the place to go!
