Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Afton

A delightful place for a celebration. The Lake Elmo Inn is a very comfortable supper club for a quiet dinner. The food is very good and the ambiance is pleasant and soothing. Service is exceptional and friendly. It is worth the drive -- you won't be disappointed. We had the seafood platter, which was very good. Our only disappointment was the crab cakes that had too much pasta filler and too little crab. But the special complementary things make the occasion unique: a glass of champagne on your anniversary, the palate cleaning lemon sorbet cone, and the post dinner strawberry dipped in chocolate (a sufficient finale if you can withstand the temptation of their fabulous desserts are made in-house).

Noise is more akin to coffee house chatter but music at the bar floats over to diners and can be annoying. Sit away from the bar if that kind of thing bothers you. Food is amazing. Staff is great.

Great service, great food, great atmosphere all for a great price.

Wonderful food and fantastic service. That a restaurant in the Midwest can do Halibut perfectly is a sign of greatness.

Fine Dining at the Afton House Inn was such an amazing experience!
