Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Waconia

Our server was wonderful and poor guy also had to tend bar. He was attentive and the food was great. Especially enjoyed poke salad. And since Covid I rarely travel with me purse. Had it for a different purpose and accidentally left behind. After going home about a mile realized my mistake. Called and they retrieved. Much appreciated

We had an outstanding birthday celebration luncheon at Ciao Bella. Our server, Jordan, was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. He’s really one of the best in the industry! We can always count on Ciao Bella, for an excellent dining experience: our beet salad was exceptional , my butternut squash soup was fabulous, the calamari was tasty and fresh, and the braised lamb pasta was perfect. Thank you for an amazing meal and excellent service!

We reserved a standard table by the window because my husband has hip problems and can not sit high top chairs. But we were given a table far from the window with high top table. We told the hostess that's not what we've requested. They quickly made the changes, but we had to a few minutes for our requested table to be ready. Janine, our server was very attentive to us. The food was good except for the baked eggs and the fresh oysters.

Met a business colleague there for lunch and was impressed. Lots of light made the space feel open and airy. Menu was diverse. I chose the meatloaf which was a daily lunch feature and my friend had the Reuben which he said was excellent and looked amazing. The meatloaf was very good and a large portion. I would come back for happy hour to see who the restaurant draws in the evening.

Great environment, and ambience, service was wonderful, food was great, little pricey but understandable.
