Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Albert Lea

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.

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

Excellent experience! Our server was perfect, food was delivered promptly and was delicious!

Excellent except their martinis are unbelievably small

The food was very good - much better than expected. Well presented and nicely prepared. I especially liked the Eggs Benedict made with shaved ham, as opposed to a think ham slice. I felt like it was more digestable, enjoyable, and even flavorful. The Avocado Toast was also very good, with radish and cucumber slices mixed in. My wife enjoyed it very much. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and nice. Really enjoyed the brunch, overall. Great neighborhood gem.
