Restaurants near Carpenter St. Croix Valley Nature Center

Highly recommend Hazelwood! We went with other couples and we all agreed we probably had the best steaks/food we’ve had in a long time! Loved the cozy, Christmas atmosphere, and all of the staff were very efficient & friendly! Crab cakes and green beans were amazing appetizers!! We are from NW Iowa, but we will definitely come back to Hazelwood at our next visit to Mpls!

This place is one of our favorites to ever visit. The Smoked Gouda Hashbrowns are to die for. Beyond savory and delicious. The filet is always cooked perfectly and is out of this world. The pot roast was also outstanding and melt in your mouth tender. This place does not disappoint

An absolute perfect date night. We wanted to do something nice before the holiday craziness and Baldamar delivered. My Italian husband loved the holiday special mozzarella appetizer platter and the extra bread we ordered was perfect. The rhuberry cosmo was a perfect drink not too strong or sweet. We got the brick chicken and prime filet to split between me and my husband for our mains and it was perfection. Our water glasses were never empty, our server was super sweet, the only complaint would be that we couldn’t make room for dessert after all the wonderful food. We will be coming back soon!

Great ambiance and vibe going on with the restaurant. Food items were delicious …great menu. The server was delightful when at the table, but clearly stretched as timing was “off.” Professional, friendly, and apologetic for the timing gaps, they were doing their best given the workload. Definitely atypical situation compared to prior visits.

Great experience. The hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Service was wonderful!
