Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in North Oaks

One of our favorite restaurants! A beautiful building with great food and service.

We live in Duluth and frequently travel from the MSP airport. Hazelwood is our favorite post-flight weekend brunch location. The food, drinks, and serv9ce are consistently excellent. Keep up the great work. P.S. It's always a positive sign of a well-run restaurant when you see management pitching in alongside the hosts and servers.

Such a wonderful place! If you haven’t ever been to the Lake Elmo Inn, it’s worth a trip. Located in the quaint downtown of Lake Elmo, this historic restaurant has been serving since 1881. I first went there about 5 years ago for a celebration with a group of friends, and its charm has stuck with me ever since. One of my favorite places to go. It definitely has a traditional ambience - you feel like you are walking into something special. But it’s comfortable - from the host, to the dining rooms to the service. It nods to what fine dining used to be - and what a great feeling that creates. And the food! The menu is perfectly curated to offer familiar favorites, and interesting evolutions of the standards. So make a date with your favorite somebody, and treat yourselves to an absolutely delightful experience.

Still one of the most reliable outstanding restaurants in the Twin Cities area. Consistently good over the decades - a real unsung gem!

Ciao Bella has been our favorite for 30+ years. The consistency of excellent cuisine and service is world class! Our favorite server Seth, truly sets the table for wonderful evening. Our fav's of Walleye Milanese, Chicken parm, parmesan crusted shrimp, ahi tuna crisps and Tortigliona Rosa were enjoyed by all.
