Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Waconia

We have a tradition of going to Manny's on Thanksgiving for lobster and it was fantastic! The chef served us deconstructed whole lobsters in a beautiful presentation served by Sean. Great cocktails, wine, and amazing food. (No turkey!). Beautiful night at this amazing restaurant that always delivers a wonderful experience!

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.

Had the pear sandwich for dinner, the queso for the chips was homeade and next level good. My date had the bison tacos, they were delicious. We had the lemon ricotta hot cakes and bison Benedict for breakfast the next morning. The service was excellent, I am going to recommend it to everyone going to Minneapolis and I will definitely go again.

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.

The food and service are always super. Enjoy the comfort of the resturant.
