    The two cocktails we had - the Barrel Aged Holiday Manhattan and the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned were both OUTSTANDING! I thoroughly enjoyed a bottle of Riesling and it was reasonably priced. Our appetizers and our meals were scrumptious! I had the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection! Ther chowder was also excellent! Our waitress was so friendly and attentive! We had a lovely evening. We always go to The Lake Elmo Inn at Christmas time because the decorations are positively exquisite! We had a WONDERFUL evening!!!
