Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Long Lake

Great menu. Ribeye was great, scallops were great, sea bass was great! Wanted to try everything. Only thing I would change is that steaks and other mains were a la carte. For 50 bucks I think they can throw in a potato or a cup of soup.

My husband and I had a very pleasant dinner. The food was amazing, our server Evan was great, the whole dinner experience was very good. We have not been to Fletcher's during winter so we were more than amazed and thankful to have chosen to eat here for Valentine's dinner.

Birch's served up a great Valentine's Day dinner celebration. We had the best server (Molly) in the place and enjoyed the food, cocktails and music. It was extremely busy but the staff seemed more than capable of handling it all. Table was ready quickly, servers, bar tenders and kitchen all performed well and in a timely fashion. As always, the fried chicken was awesome and they even had fresh Maine lobster.

We enjoyed the special menu for Valentines day. (Spasso should join MSP magazine restaurant week and have a special menu for that!!! Only negative was were not asked how we wanted The Walleye prepared and it came baked with breading not broiled. Overall 9 of 10 experience!

It is all based on Patty - her great service and friendly demeanor. The food - fantastic as usual. (I even changed my order today - a wonderful salmon caesar salad.) We can 'do' business and enjoy lunch. Patty knows when to come by - she just makes it easy. Today - I had the pleasure of interacting (more than I normally do) with your lunch hostess. (I am upset with myself for not knowing her name - I will get it next time.) First impressions matter (even though I am at ninetwentyfive a fair amount) - she was great! And they found out it was my birthday (in 2 days) - a wonderful dessert to top things off - THANK YOU!
