Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Minnetonka

All the food was great, and our server (Troy) couldn’t have been better!

First time experience with the Thanksgiving buffet at Redstone and it did not disappoint. We were joined by our brother and SIL who had asked that we arrive an hour early to enjoy a beverage at the bar. We discovered that the actual buffet was arranged on either side of the bar and so a drink at the bar wasn't an option. Fortunately, the restaurant was able to accommodate us early for dinner. We didn't care for the first table they were giving us in another room. Found the room to be a bit sterile and cold. Requested a booth and were moved quickly into the other room. Lovely view and always enjoy the ambience. I'm not much for a traditional Thanksgiving meal and this buffet had something for everyone. The food was awesome as usual and it was all you could eat! We were able to order drinks from the server and also yummy as usual. Our server, Sidney, was wonderful! When you aren't able to attend a family gathering, this was the perfect alternative. A big THANK YOU to the restaurant staff for giving up their holiday to allow others to enjoy it.

We had Thanksgiving dinner. Reservations required. It was awesomely, crazily busy. We had a 3:15pm reservation but couldn’t be seated until 3:45. Just watching the staff - wow, so many people rushing around at speed. When we were seated, the service was quick and professional. Despite the number of people we could still have a conversation - good acoustics, maybe because it’s broken up into rooms. The food was excellent. Definitely more than our usual budget, but we were pleasantly stuffed and took home leftovers. $69 per person (Nov 2024) and we pushed that a lot higher with our glasses of wine. Great experience. Would definitely consider going again. Next time reserve early, and as early in the day as possible to avoid the reservation stack up delays.

Food was excellent. Our server was not that interactive but luckily we have been here before so knew the drill.

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet. It was $60 per person which included a drink (soda/tea, etc.). It was an exceptional experience. They had all the standard hot items, stuffing, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, delicious roasted veggies, etc. There was a carving station with turkey, ny strip and shrimp cocktail. They also has unique items like salmon, pigs in a blanket, Buffalo cauliflower, fruit, chicken tenders, just to name a few. Buffet was setup mostly along the bar, with the same stuff on both sides to split crowd. It flowed well and never felt crowded. Dessert had pumpkin and pecan pie, cheesecake, cookies, etc. Everything was delicious. Redstone uses really quality ingredients. We all agreed that while everything was great the best thing of the night was the gravy. It was sooooooo good. They bring it to your table from the back. I think we went through 5 or 6 portions, it was that good. Best gravy we've ever had. Service was good. We sat in the bar area. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back next year.
