"Meal Type: Lunch Price Range: $20–30 I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for lunch, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience overall. The food was simply outstanding, earning a perfect rating of 5. The highlight of my meal was the Baked Cheese Ravioli, which I highly recommend. The service was equally impressive, also receiving a rating of 5. The staff was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Lastly, the atmosphere was delightful, contributing to a warm and inviting setting, which again deserves a rating of 5. If you’re looking for a satisfying lunch, this place is definitely worth a visit!"

"Food was good but be careful because they include a 20% tip and don’t mention it verbally. We left our server a $80 dollar tip because she failed to mention it! She put a little star on the check right where she signed her name and put thank you where it mentions the pre-added tip. The paragraph is in such small type I could barreled read it once I was at home in a well lit room, not a chance I could have read it in a dark dining room. Not cool! Not cool at all!"

"Most delicious fried rice in the metro area! Possibly farther. Very good pad Thai. Authentic, not sugared down like most Pad Thai available in restaurants. The excellent spring rolls and egg rolls are large, a meal in themselves. Like the egg rolls, the cream cheese wontons are perfectly fried, fresh and crispy. I will travel 30 minutes to pick up and return to take home if only for the fried rice."

"IPA infused Burger was great! Boneless wings were the best chicken pliers we ever had! We just got them so they could be divided with my 3 years old and then immersed in the sauce as needed. I propose to arrange the boneless wings because they are so good! My Picky 3 years old has asked more and more. Good craft beer selection that includes Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!"

"It 's our birthday weekend, my wife and I. We are two days apart in that I 'm July 1, and she 's July 3. So we almost always go out July 2. My wife went to this restaurant and said it was great so we booked it for our traditional July 2 dinner out. I have to say I 'm disappointed. This is a long story, but TLDR: there are better places to eat for east metro residents; I would recommend Phil 's Terra (best Greek food ever), Devils Advocate, The Velveteen (Stillwater), and most of all Domacin (Stillwater, but that steak tenderloin will haunt your dreams). So here 's the breakdown. RSVP for 6 PM on Sat, July 2. Cool. Get RSVP email confirmation saying we are good for 8PM. Call and confirm 6 PM, and they are like yep. Great. My wife left a comment saying we would prefer rooftop deck if available. RSVP cancelled because you can 't book rooftop deck as they dont take RSVPs for the rooftop deck. Okay? Call and reup on RSVP with note that we would prefer rooftop deck, but not if we would like to keep our RSVP. Get another email saying that our RSVP is cancelled. Call again and reup on RSVP with same note on rooftop deck. This is a lot of hassle for a White Bear Lake restaurant. Sure they were just ranked #1 in White Bear Lake, but it reminded me of Dellwood Country Club (see my review). This isn 't a coincidence as the same chef also does the food for Dellwood Country Club. We arrived to a mostly empty restaurant and I asked to be seated on the rooftop deck, to which the guy behind me (who was clearly some sort of administrative person for the restaurant) noted that a Benjamin for the hosts would go a long way to helping get your way. Funny, which is what people say when they don 't laugh or otherwise appreciate the comment. Sure if you were busy, then maybe. If you were packed, I 'd consider it. Empty? Not a chance. They took us to the rooftop deck which was maybe over half full. It 's a great space and you earned your first star. Staff was okay, nice b"
