Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Linden Hills

First time there. Food was fabulous, had to turn away food a number of time because we were just too full. Dessert was great. Service was wonderful. The server found out that we were celebrating our engagement anniversary (30 years) and made up a special plate for dessert with a message to us. Just a little spendy for us, and they didn't mention that some of the offerings weren't included, so we saw a charge for the grilled pineapple on our bill for 13.50, but it was never told to us that that was an additional charge. Otherwise, a fun, adventurous culinary experience!

The pearl oysters were excellent and it would have been unfortunate if I had not ordered them. The pearls give a nice contrast in texture. I had the Maryland Benedict and was surprised that the eggs weren’t poached, or at least the egg yolk was cooked too long. Same with the scotch egg- the egg wasn’t runny like in the menu description. Having the sausage sit in a pool of honey-dijon ruined it. It’s as if the honey dijon was supposed to make up for the flavorless sausage. However, the other two dishes were great. The server was fantastic and I should’ve stuck with his recommendations. He may have been the bar tender too because he made amazing cocktails for our table. I’d be back for those cocktails.

Decently long wait even with reservations. Food and drinks were amazing and worth the price.

Pizzeria Lola was awesome. The Lady Zaza pizza was very good, along with the mushroom toast appetizer, followed up with ice cream and cookies. Our Waiter was excellent and can’t wait to go back.

Such a lovely dinner out! It was super busy so a tad slow, but it seemed the staff was pretty lean and they were all doing their best. The wine list is superb and everyone was incredibly knowledgeable! Super tasty food, and amazing selection of cheese and charcuterie boards. Will definitely be back!
