Our server was excellent and attentive. First off, Lake Elmo Inn is a very expensive restaurant. For that I believe we had large portions of the walleye dinner and it was good. However the sunnies (blue gill) left much to be desired. I had it during another visit in March and it was wonderful. This time it was not good at all. Tasted old, fishy and possibly freezer burned. Also over cooked so it was pretty hard. I had wanted to sit in the atrium but we were told we could not and were taken to the darker dining room on such a beautiful sunny day. We were celebrating two birthdays and I guess since this is a classier restaurant I expected some type of dessert or something for our celebration. I have to say in March we were also there for a birthday and we had a first class experience, today was not the same and I was disappointed.

We were celebrating our friends birthday and couldn’t have had a better experience. Everything was perfect and our waitress, Beth, was the best!

We had a great meal and service and Lake Elmo Inn. The steak, salmon and walleye were fantastic. We enjoy going here for a special occasion.

This was our first time dining here for dinner and went on the recommendation from someone else. The service and food was impeccable. My husband had the sunnies and while he enjoyed them he did mention that he would probably get the walleye next time. I had the filet mignon and added a few broiled tiger shrimp, which was all delicious! I love the little lemon sorbets to cleanse your palate and the warm mint wash cloths at the end of the meal service...oh and I can't forget the chocolate covered strawberry they give you. We will definitely be back.
