Best Restaurants for Groups in Afton

We have been to Hells Kitchen before, but we went this time for their Hell A Dazzle and it was amazing. I hope they do this every year because now that we know about it we will be back next year in December. The holiday decorations were so cute, the Christmas drinks were delicious and the food as always was amazing. The service has always been superb. Five stars for sure. If you’re looking for a festive meal with great festive ambience this is your place.

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!

Manny's was fantastic as usual. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary last night and at the end of the meal, they brought us a piece of cake the size of a tube TV on the house. Their customer service is unmatched.

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!!!

We all loved beautiful outdoor seating overlooking the vineyards. The food was fantastic as was the service. Can’t wait to go back.
