Hubby and I celebrated our 30th anniversary this weekend and he wanted Lobster. We’re staying in town and found this gem of a restaurant. Really good food and drinks.

Our party of four had reservations for dinner and Reva & Doug, the owners, treated us like royalty. Along with our most gracious server Emily we enjoy the stuff Mushrooms as our appetizer along with their craft beer. Our delicious dinners included the battered Walleye, Salmon and Prime rib entrees with salads and veggies. A restaurant worth visiting when your in town enjoying the town's activities.

Really enjoyed eating here. The lettuce wraps were fun - beef instead of chicken wrapped in a large lettuce leaf with rice. The walleye was delicious - buttery & savory. Perfect portion - didn't feel stuffed but was satisfied. Good wine options. View of lake is beautiful.

My meal was prepared exactly as ordered. Perfectly balanced flavors. The decor in the restaurant in winter is a must see for Christmas. All staff had warm, welcoming personalities. The owner makes it a point to get to know her customers. By the time I left, I felt like family. I will definitely be back again.

Got the perch chips and they were terrific. Bread pudding for dessert was very tasty. A little too much on the"spice" side, I like mine pretty bland. But the sauce that was on it was the bomb. Good service too.

Sparkling Waters is easily a 10/10 restaurant. The drinks and food are amazing, and you get exactly what you pay for. They actually have quite a lot of affordable dishes as well. The owners are awesome, and their son was our waiter. He's great, and we had a great experience there. I can say they have good wines to choose from, incredible ice cream and cake, as well as fantastic sandwiches. I'm surprised it took me this long to try out the place, and I look forward to going there in the future.

Delicious filet mignon - perfectly prepared, wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere! Really enjoyed the asparagus wrapped with prime rib in a delicious, creamy horseradish sauce. Their prime rib is fabulous. One of the few places in Minnesota that has fresh mint for making mojitos as well. Fine dining at its finest!! Plus we are always greeted warmly by Reva.
