Best Seasonal Restaurants in Eden Prairie

First time experience with the Thanksgiving buffet at Redstone and it did not disappoint. We were joined by our brother and SIL who had asked that we arrive an hour early to enjoy a beverage at the bar. We discovered that the actual buffet was arranged on either side of the bar and so a drink at the bar wasn't an option. Fortunately, the restaurant was able to accommodate us early for dinner. We didn't care for the first table they were giving us in another room. Found the room to be a bit sterile and cold. Requested a booth and were moved quickly into the other room. Lovely view and always enjoy the ambience. I'm not much for a traditional Thanksgiving meal and this buffet had something for everyone. The food was awesome as usual and it was all you could eat! We were able to order drinks from the server and also yummy as usual. Our server, Sidney, was wonderful! When you aren't able to attend a family gathering, this was the perfect alternative. A big THANK YOU to the restaurant staff for giving up their holiday to allow others to enjoy it.

The Chilean Sea was excellent as were the kale salad and old fashioned cocktails. The prime rib and potatoes were a bit bland, the turkey was a bit dry. In general the food was good or very good. On Thanksgiving it may be a bit difficult to serve exceptional.

We had Thanksgiving dinner. Reservations required. It was awesomely, crazily busy. We had a 3:15pm reservation but couldn’t be seated until 3:45. Just watching the staff - wow, so many people rushing around at speed. When we were seated, the service was quick and professional. Despite the number of people we could still have a conversation - good acoustics, maybe because it’s broken up into rooms. The food was excellent. Definitely more than our usual budget, but we were pleasantly stuffed and took home leftovers. $69 per person (Nov 2024) and we pushed that a lot higher with our glasses of wine. Great experience. Would definitely consider going again. Next time reserve early, and as early in the day as possible to avoid the reservation stack up delays.

This is our second year enjoying Thanksgiving dinner at Jimmy’s Restaurant. It was two of us last year, four of us this year. I believe this is now going to be our Thanksgiving tradition. The food is excellent and plenty of it. The service is incredible. I suggest you make any holiday reservations sooner than later. They will (due to the sheer number of people who love Jimmy’s) run out of time slots. Thank you for another wonderful dinner.

Charlie our server was great. We sat in a section that seemed like it was patio furniture tables didnt match was odd.
