"No valet and distant parking on a Saturday night in Minnesota in mid February caused us to be late for our reservation. Topping it of was the event parking charge in the ramp three blocks away. We completely missed the entrance and walked around the corner in our search due the ridiculous placement of the sign that can only be seen from across the street. We were clumsily greeted and then seated at our table by the windows as requested. A welcome and appreciated bonus which was quickly or slowly negated by waiting for minutes for our drinks. They did comp the booze which was a nice gesture but I would have rather paid to have the drink in my hand.Our server was friendly and knowledgeable but mostly absent during our time there. The place did not seam at all full and came across short staffed for even the modest crowd.On to the food. When three diners make a point of calling out the drinks and the wedge salad as being the highlights there is something not right happening in the kitchen. My scallops were minimal and seared nicely albeit on just one side. The lobster spaghetti had a wonderfully sublime flavor with the cognac sauce but you had to really hunt down the alleged lobster. The roasted quail was a big meh. Not much flavor, quite diminutive even for quail and just barely above room temperature.Not a difficult endeavor for the kitchen and maybe telling was the wedge salads. Served on properly chilled plates were fresh tasting with a zesty dressing, crunchy bacon and dill that brightened up the ubiquitous offering. Sad that it was the best thing set in front of us that evening.We had high expectations knowing that the “chef of the year” was running the show but those hopes were dashed by the experience overall and mediocre food. Far too many other choices in our great Twin Cities to put up with that"

"I visited Lotus Leaf for the first time recently. I had just discovered this restaurant and was excited since I'm always on the lookout for good Thai food nearby—no need to travel to the city! I wasn't very hungry, so I opted for the Spring Rolls. They were fresh and delicious, and I’ll definitely be ordering them again. Now that I know about this place, I'm eager to explore more of their menu. I highly recommend giving it a try!"
