Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lino Lakes

We live in Duluth and frequently travel from the MSP airport. Hazelwood is our favorite post-flight weekend brunch location. The food, drinks, and serv9ce are consistently excellent. Keep up the great work. P.S. It's always a positive sign of a well-run restaurant when you see management pitching in alongside the hosts and servers.

Still one of the most reliable outstanding restaurants in the Twin Cities area. Consistently good over the decades - a real unsung gem!

Amazing bloody mary and mimosa bar, almost a meal in themselves! We were celebrating a birthday, which got us a free photo booth token and dessert to share. I didn't realize how big this place is! We were seated in the quieter dining side, but the live music playing in the other area wasn't too loud. Looks like a nice happy hour, too, so we'll have to return soon for that!

Our waiter Charles and his team helping him were amazing. Anticipated our every need and did not hover. Perfection on every level! Thank you Charles for making our son’s bday special! We will be back.

My family and I had a wonderful time. We had 4:30 dinner reservations January 1st. My wife and I were greeted in a very friendly, and professional manner. We had a wait of only a minute or two before we were taken to our table. After another minute or two we were graciously approached and greeted by our server Rebecca P. She was very friendly and personable, and made us feel welcome. A few minutes later the second half of our party arrived. That included my step daughter and her two daughter (ages 2 years and 7 weeks) Rebecca, greeted them all with paying special attention to my two granddaughters. Once we settled in Rebecca asked if we would enjoy something to drink. We placed our order and then a few minutes later returned with our order. She then proceeded to tell us the specials of the evening and answered all our questions. After giving us a reasonable amount of time she returned to our and took our orders. She asked each of us questions and made us feel welcome, and payed great attention to the two young girls, building a great connection to us all and gave us a wonderful feeling of hospitality. Our dinners arrived, and they were all done to perfection. During our meals Rebecca and several other employees would stop by and ask how things were and if everything was okay. They'd also continue to pay awesome attention to our young granddaughters. Everyone made sure that we were enjoying ourselves and made us feel special. It was truly a wonderful experience for all of us and we were thrilled that we dined at Baldamar. This was our third time at this establishment, and each has been terrific, but this one topped em all. Thank you. On a special note, if this is typical service from Rebecca and the other people who worked on that night, I strongly urge that they receive pay increases. They deserve the best praises. Randy Reed
