    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!

    Crave has done something right lately! The menu changes are welcome and the food did not disappoint. I did several yummy chair dances while mowing down my burger. The kids meal entree (grilled salmon) was outstanding and now comes in a beautiful bento box with veggies, fries, and fresh fruit. It’s a bit pricey but this is THE destination for celebrations in Woodbury. I was highly impressed tonight - well done!
