Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in White Bear Lake

Our waiter last night was excellent. He was very personable and attentive. His tables were full, but he seemed to offer excellent service to all the guests. Some of the best service I’ve had in a very long time.

I had the most responsive and wonderful server ever at Lake Elmo Inn. Jessica was superb. She was very friendly and professional. Upon bringing my friend’s hamburger, she noticed the burger looked a bit rare and my friend had ordered well done. Jessica immediately brought the burger back to the kitchen and returned it to the proper doneness. Our food was all delicious, perfectly prepared. Loved the salmon piccata and salted caramel creme brulee. Fantastic!

Everything was great from start to finish. Server (sorry, forgot her name) was friendly and prompt. I had the Chop Salad and my colleague had the Bacio Burger and we both enjoyed our food!!!

The food and service was excellent - I'd go back just for the bread and even to sit in Jerome's section. He was fantastic - very attentive, knowledgeable and considerate of everyone. And the food - wow. We all raved about what we ordered, from the ravioli to risotto to the complimentary bread. The only negative was the noise level - it was very loud and I felt like I almost had to yell to talk to our party or would ask them to repeat what they said. Despite the noise, I would not hesitate to return for lunch.

Chianti Grill continues to provide a consistent fine dining experience when many other restaurants have gone down hill. Our server was delightful. Setting was lovely. My only complaint was the food wasn’t as hot as it should have been. It was still good.
