Best Casual Restaurants in Mendota Heights

We have been to Crasqui 5 or 6 times and each time it has been fantastic. We brought a couple of friends who had never been before and they loved it. The new menu items are awesome. There isn't a bad item on the menu. We had Luis as our server, who we've had a number of times and he is a great guy to have on staff. I highly recommend you get over to this restaurant and check it out.

Our server Sam was amazing! I know it can be loud esp before a hockey game, but we started early at 4pm, and had fabulous food and drink. Favorite: wild rice chix POT PIE. I do wish the restaurant would post on website which days the Happy Hour is canceled due to Xcell event days.

My first time here. Went with three office mates and had a delightful afternoon. Drinks and food were delicious, service was prompt despite how busy they were. I had a delicious patty melt, though one of my table mates had mushroom toast that looked incredibly yummy. We ordered their pear blackberry cheesecake to share and it was that perfect level of not too sweet but still a great meal ender. Although the room was filled with holiday parties, you could still hear the conversation at your table

Great ambiance and vibe going on with the restaurant. Food items were delicious …great menu. The server was delightful when at the table, but clearly stretched as timing was “off.” Professional, friendly, and apologetic for the timing gaps, they were doing their best given the workload. Definitely atypical situation compared to prior visits.

Good set of choices on the menu. Food was tasty and well prepared (my steak was a little overdone so I would probably discuss that with the server in the future). Staff was friendly and responsive, We were seated immediately when we arrived.
