Restaurants near Erik's Retreat - Minnesota

Every staff member made our evening a great experience. From the welcoming and warm front staff who seated us, to the smiles from every staff we passed to our AWESOME server Lindsay (made great recommendations, served quickly and gave us wonderful personalized attention though her section seemed as full as a grocery store on the day before a holiday)! Delicious food and drink, too!

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!

We had an absolutely fantastic holiday (and birthday!) lunch celebration! Everything was spot-on – our food arrived piping hot, the salad was perfectly chilled, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The rotisserie chicken sandwich was amazing, “the” chicken sandwich with candied bacon was a total hit, the chopped salad was fresh and delicious, and the chicken wings were finger-licking good. Service was quick and seamless. We’re already counting down the days until we can return to one of our favorite spots!

We had a lovely evening with friends. Good food, good beverage, great service, and the atmosphere was wonderful a special visit by Mr. and Mrs. Claus added to the festivities a beautiful place in indeed we will return.

We were shown to a table that was too close to the window for our liking and were immediately given a different one. One of our favorite waiters greeted us and our assigned waiter graciously allowed him to be our waiter. He let us get settled and then took our beverage and appetizer orders. They were excellent as always. He paced his service to our desires. We both ordered the scallop special. It was perfect. Perfectly seared and the roasted vegetables and purees were a wonderful accompaniment. The bread was crusty and warm. We were also able to greet other favorite servers and felt totally welcomed.
