Restaurants near Otter Creek State Public Hunting Grounds

We’ve never had a bad experience at High Shores under the most recent ownership. The food and cocktails are exceptional and the service is great. It’s our favorite place in the Chippewa Valley.

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!

We love this place for all kinds of occasions. The food, drink and service is always very good. The variety of food and drink including wine options are better than anywhere else in Stillwater. The only issue we encountered was that the sliding entrance doors opened whenever anyone got close to them, so they were open too often and for long enough periods of time that we had to wear our coats while we ate, because it’s cold outside in January. So make sure to plan ahead with a warm coat and whatnot in case your table is close to the front doors. We’ll be back!

Food and portions were amazing! So glad we got the soup and salad as our appetizer, the French Onion and Lobster Bisque were so savory. Our mains were the Ribeye and Filet cooked perfectly medium rare. We got 3 sides al la carte, and we could have just got one. The portions say for two but they could definitely feed 3-4 if you have the soups or appetizers before. My only criticism was there weren't any prices marked by the cocktails and the brussel sprouts could have been cooked a little longer to get a better crisp.

Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Boston cranberry tea and coffee excellent. The coconut shrimp and shrimp scampi were good. Some items were not as good; the mashed potato side was bland and could have included a pat of butter or something to add flavor.
