We ordered the Lobster Enchiladas for the appetizer and they were OK. As I wasn’t in the mood to take a loan out for the Lobster or steak selections, I ordered the Prime burger and my wife the fried Walleye sandwich.

I asked for the Prime burger to be cooked medium, it arrived well done. My wife’s walleye sandwich seemed “fishy” tasting to her (yes I know it’s fish, but she’s had much better tasting fried walleye in other restaurants that did NOT taste fishy)

The service was good, and why wouldn’t it be? They certainly weren’t busy that’s for sure!

They comped my meal and we escaped from there for about $42.00 not including tip.

We won’t be going back anytime soon.

If this place is still open this time next year I’d be surprised. Being that it took 5 million dollars to build this place CR’s gonna have to sell a lot of product to make that debt service. Weird location too, right in the middle of suburbia, apparently Lakevillians don’t frequent the place much either.

The bottom line is that this restaurant is too pricey for this location.

I see an El Loro coming soon to this location!

Anyways, we started with a cocktail apiece and then tried the pita bread with green hummus-like dip. It wasn’t near as garlicky as Bill’s was, actually kind of bland IMHO. Not a bad starter, but nothing to write home to mom about.

For our appetizer, there were lots of appealing options, but we choose the Baja fish tacos. Just the right amount of heat, really liked them. They’d make a great lunch item, actually. Can’t wait to try out the crab & bacon hushpuppies next visit.

I had the chili-glazed salmon for my main course. I liked it. Salmon was cooked as it should be, the Thai peanut sauce was a nice compliment, quite tasty. Nice to have three tempura shrimp on the side, too.

My wife had the lobster tail. She said it was tasty but a little rubbery. She judged it average, would probably try something else next time.

We shared the key lime pie for dessert. Good thing we shared it; the “slice” looked like a prop from Land of the Giants. Way too big, way too rich and tart. We left some on the plate, which we never do with dessert.

Bottom line, we liked it even though it was a little pricey. ($90 or so with two cocktails and dessert.) When we return we may skip the cocktails and dessert and focus on the appetizers and entrees. Much preferable to the old Molly McCools, and a decent little seafood place — which we have too few of here in the Twin Cities.

I really want to try the place and see how the food and service is for someone that they do not know reviews restaurants… If it is as good as an experience as you had, this place could be a winner.

Thanks for the useful disclaimer/info!

Just the review on the steak alone makes me want to go try this place. It’s only 5 minutes from our house.

While it seems clear that this place roelled out the red carpet for Bill and The Wife, it says a lot to me that they still pulled of what sounds like a pretty good meal, especially when (IMO) the order they placed was somewhat challenging.

If they can look at the positives of this experience, they have the ability to ensure the staff FOH and BOH do what they can to ensure all of the patrons get an experience similar to that, or at least close.

I’ve been out with Bill where it was clear he was doing a review to anyone only to have one of the worst experiences in recent memory, both food and service (Shout Out Dakota Jazz Club!).

I would definitely take his review with a bit of a grain of salt, but I would easily give this place a try if I wanted a decent meal in that neck of the woods.
