Best Date Night Restaurants in Mendota Heights

Excellent service. Great value restaurant week menu. Able to have a good conversation with friends.

From the outside, Bennetts is very unassuming. It looks like a corner neighborhood bar, which it is, but inside it has everything you would get from a more elite restaurant. First of all, the service we had last night was spectacular! Jessica was friendly, helpful, accommodating and efficient. The drinks were good, the ribs were fantastic and served with a salad of sliced Brussels sprouts? Delicious! White tablecloths are a nice touch. The menu is huge and on most Mondays they have half price apps and martinis. They do not have the deal on event nights. They have a bus to drive concert or sporting events attendees to the Xcel. Great value and a fun evening. I highly recommend!

Great for foodies looking for a South American take on meats, seafood and vegetables. The menu was notable for having many options for those wishing to avoid gluten, meat, shellfish etc.

Restaurant was empty…but our service was poor. Our prime rib and 2 rib eye steaks were all over cooked. Never received add-on lobster tail..even though we asked twice. Disappointing

Our second visit to Joan’s did not disappoint. We brought friends to celebrate a milestone birthday. They greeted us warmly, brought complementary Champagne, and thus launched a lovely evening of fine dining. Every course was extraordinary. Perfect portions, delicious combinations, highly creative. If you’re a foodie, you have to try this place.
