Restaurants near Plum Creek Woods State Natural Area

Such a wonderful place! If you haven’t ever been to the Lake Elmo Inn, it’s worth a trip. Located in the quaint downtown of Lake Elmo, this historic restaurant has been serving since 1881. I first went there about 5 years ago for a celebration with a group of friends, and its charm has stuck with me ever since. One of my favorite places to go. It definitely has a traditional ambience - you feel like you are walking into something special. But it’s comfortable - from the host, to the dining rooms to the service. It nods to what fine dining used to be - and what a great feeling that creates. And the food! The menu is perfectly curated to offer familiar favorites, and interesting evolutions of the standards. So make a date with your favorite somebody, and treat yourselves to an absolutely delightful experience.

We loved the wild rice hot dish. Soothing to the stomach. The brisket was good but messy to eat. The MN room was noisy, but that was our mistake for reserving the wrong area. This restaurant has it all. We would love to go back to explore the other areas. The blueberry tea was a fun experience how it was presented and was very refreshing on a cold winter evening.
