Best Restaurants for People Watching in Mendota Heights

Such a cute concept! The food was really excellent. Small bites that reminded me of a “high tea” vibe but with yummy cocktails instead. Though it’s not in an actual old train car, it is impressive how they create the ambiance of one. My only criticism would be that though there was Christmas music playing, it was very quiet and we could hear every word of conversations next to us. My wife and I said we would do this again though next year if there’s another menu to experience.

Very delicious food! Not a moment went by where I didn’t have water or a full cocktail. Very awesome staff and serving teams. Waitress was very knowledgeable about the food! We had an incredible time and can’t wait to go back when we are in town again!

Just an FYI - there is no reason to ask or give a reason for dining when making your reservation. It is neither noticed nor acknowledged. Food was fine and this is one of the better places to dine while at the MOA.

We went on a very cold Sunday. We had a reservation, but it really wasn't needed. It was really good. I had chicken wild rice soup & apple pie before a show at the Walker. Anyway, there weren't many people there when we went.
