Had dinner on Christmas Eve with my family of four. Excellent service and ambiance. Great menu and good food. I had the lamb chops. My husband the filet which he said was the best he’d had in while. My daughter the scallops and my son the waygu burger. Thanks for a wonderful dinner out!

This was the second Christmas Eve my family went to Nicollet Island Inn for dinner. The festive and cozy atmosphere is unmatched. We’ve enjoyed appetizers, dinner, and dessert both times as well. Highly recommend for a holiday dinner.

It was my first time there. We went for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Setting the reservation was easy, and our table was ready right on time. We got the breaking bread appetizer, very good! Their garlic butter is super good, lots of garlic we all really enjoyed it. My grilled salmon was nicely cooked, not dry, and the seasonal vegetables we great (red onion, carrots, and parsnips) if I had to be nit picky, it seemed like some of the rice was under done, but it wasn't bad. My husband and my mother got one of the weekly dishes, a chicken pesto pasta dish he was very happy with it, and there was more than enough to fill him up and take home leftovers! My father got the fiesta chicken pasta and said he liked it quite a bit. Overall, it was worth the price, I feel.
