Best Casual Restaurants in Mound

We had the early reservation and they sat us by the kitchen in a drafty spot. Was too cold to sit there and was told there weren’t many options even though no one arrived yet. Service was slow but didn’t impact my overall experience. Seemed that our server had to cover a lot of space but they were good. The bone in wings we had as Buffalo and I would say only go dry rub with sauce on the side. They weren’t crispy and were average at best. Our drinks and main courses were great and overall good value.

Best darn bloody marys I've ever had! I even went around trying different places and I gotta tell ya, their spicy bloody marys are the best! I didnt even like bloody marys before, but now? Gotta have these babies at least once a week. Bonus tip, they DO sell their house mix by the pint! You are very welcome!

We enjoyed a great lunch. Food was excellent and our server was outstanding. Always a very welcoming and comfortable environment

Great girls night dinner. Excellent food, drink and ambiance.

There are better sushi places in the Twin Cities, but there aren't many options as far west as Excelsior, so this place can get pretty packed. You don't want to be sitting near the front entrance during the rush, because it won't feel very intimate. There is a sort of organized chaos to the entire proceedings. Some staffers look frazzled, others smile through it all and a few embrace the frenetic pace. The presentation of food was pretty good, and I enjoyed the meal, but the menu had a Cheesecake Factory quality to it. Just. So. Many. Options. After a while, the descriptions begin to sound the same, with ingredients given in a different order. Eventually, you feel like closing your eyes and pointing at a few options, hoping for the best. I fully recognize that running a restaurant at this point in time is challenging. You have to please the customer and maximize butts in seats. On that level, success! There wasn't much for differentiating character for me personally, but I don't think I'm the usual intended audience.
