And who said life on the lake isn’t great?
I loved getting up in the morning to a view of Lake and
the only decision I had to make all day is where to eat.
It’s a good life… and here is where we played all
week.
Bon Appetit!
Lakeshore Grill - 12411 Wayzata Blvd, Minnetonka
Lakeshore Grill is located at Macy’s and is a find. Honestly,
when I go for shopping, I never think to eat at Macy’s.
The mini popovers were a treat but the desserts were simply
to die for. I knew this white chocolate cheesecake was good when I could see
through it as our waitress placed it on the table.
How clever is this? The key lime pie was served in a
little jar. It was also wonderful and as Key Lime pie goes exceptionally good.
Desserts rang up at a mere $2.99. Yes, you could gain
more than a few pounds just by forking over a $10 bill.
Island View Golf Club - 7795 Laketown Parkway, Waconia
49 cent wing night in Jamaican, Thai,
Teriyaki and the best was when I spotted the onion rings which were double dipped
in beer batter.
They are now at the top of my list of all
time favorites.
Asian Bistro – 4669 Shoreline Drive, Spring Park
Mu She Pork and Beef with Asparagus was some
of the best Asian food I've had. No secret that I would put this restaurant up
against any in Chicago’s Chinatown. Of course, Theresa and her husband cook
everything fresh.
A little love in the mix doesn’t hurt
either.
Rancho Grande – 1004 Highway 55 East, Buffalo
There is only one thing on the menu that
we eat here after a long day of shopping at The PORCH and Atelier…the California Chicken burrito
with white cheese sauce. The sauce simply makes the burrito.
Going to try and recreate this in my kitchen with white
American cheese and jalapenos.
A search in progress so stay tuned.
Victor’s 1959 Café – 3756
Grand Avenue South, Minneapolis
Since they opened in April, 1999,
customer’s have been signing the walls and every square inch including the
corners are decorated with graffiti and someone’s message. It’s part of what makes this place so
charming.
We had Lechon Adado and Sandwich Cubano as
seen on the Food Network. I missed the episode so I’ll have to go back and
catch it.
This place prompted me once again to put Cuba
high on my list of places to explore.
