    We go to the Lake Elmo inn several times per year. We always have great food and service. This time was no different. The server we had was new to us and she was great. Food was very good. Keep up the great work.

    The Lake Elmo Inn was an absolute pleasure. The food, the service, and the ambiance was all top notch. I took my wife here for her birthday and we enjoyed some of the best cuisine we have had in a very long time. I would recommend this establishment to anyone and will be sending friends and colleagues their way. Thank you LEI! We will definitely be returning!

    Dress up for formal dinner, or do more regular casual date nights. The staff are great and the specials are usually my order.

    It was a perfect birthday dinner. The salmon special was moist and flavorful. The champagne was a nice touch.
