Best Lunch Restaurants in White Bear Lake

My wife and I had an excellent Valentine Day dinner at Axel’s. She had salmon while I the filet. The food was prepared as ordered and served hot. Jennifer and Scott were our servers. They were polite, friendly and stopped by periodically throughout the evening. We will definitely return again.

We went to CRAVE for Valentine's Day and had their Valentine's Day $149 three course meal for two deal. It was great and the food was delicious. Even though it was a three course meal, we didn't feel bloated or super full. It helped that they really paced out when they brought out the food. There were a lot of people but we were able to talk and hear each other. The atmosphere was good and the servers were all very nice and polite. Will most likely go on a special occasion again.

Another great meal at Bullvino’s. Very attentive waitstaff, fantastic salad bar, and the meats were perfect. Glad we live in St. Paul as the restaurant is close. Highly recommend Bullvino’s for a wonderful dining experience.

Four people--three meal choices: the short ribs, the filet mignon, and the walleye dinner. All were outstanding. The ribs and the filet mignon were tender and flavorful, as was the walleye for which the Inn is known. We each had a cocktail and were very satisfied--no scrimping with the alcohol, which was nice. Sue, our waitress, was top-notch--I think she's been there for years so she is very experienced. No dessert for us although the choices looked yummy. Lake Elmo Inn is a special place and worth the trip there, for sure.

We received a gift card for Christmas and saved it for our anniversary dinner. Everything about the experience was exceptional. The staff was welcoming and gracious and our server, Henry, was an absolute joy. We each had a cocktail and shared the nachos for an appetizer. I'm not normally one to gush over nachos but OH! were they delicious. I'd eat those 100 times. I had the salmon, which was perfectly cooked; my husband had the sturgeon which was also perfect. We ended the dinner with a surprise dessert in honor of our anniversary. All in all, it was pricey but worth it for a special occasion. We'll definitely go back.
