New American Restaurants near Chanhassen, MN

“I have frequented Houlihan's for years. Bit sad the fried cheese hasn't been on the menu, but the bruschetta IS AMAZING, so that makes up for it! Annie, the bartender is great at her job, efficient, and so friendly. She gets to know her customers and remembers details from any conversation. She makes a customer feel like they are cared about and their business is appreciated. The same goes for Art. He always remembers our names and asks us how things are going. It like the "Cheers" of Chanhassen.“

“Don't play with them ok!! This gem was a great surprise that served up AMAZING food, OUTSTANDING service and a BEAUTIFUL color concept. We went for lunch and enjoyed every bit of it! Our server was Bobbie he was knowledgeable and had plenty of excellent suggestions for us. Oh and make sure you ask him to tell you a bad dad joke lol The food was plated beautifully and the flavor combos were refreshing and a total party in your mouth. We had the sweet potatoes to share then we each had an entree the Ivy burger and the BLT and finally we shared the brown butter cake. The sweet potatoes were yummy and the sauce went with it so well, burger was so moist it was dripping with juicy flavor after each bite, fries done to perfection ( I love a good fry especially one u can't eat naked without anything), the BLT had a garlic aioli that I loved and a fried green tomato sealed the deal and last but not least that brown butter cake with Marscapone cheese OMG it was sooooooooo good and all the flavors complimented each other. One of the owners Viorica stopped by the table after we were done to introduce herself and chat for a few. I thought that was super sweet!! Overall this place was FABULOUS and I can't wait to bring my husband back to try everything. Great concept, nice location and love the decor ❤️ Thanks for a great lunch!!!!“

“Our server was there when we needed them, didn't come and talk to us with seemingly no reason.Food took about 30 minutes, on a decently busy night, so that was nice.The atmosphere I love, got window seats facing towards regional center road and nice view for a decently sized city. Didn't like the pop music, but that I'd what you get when you go to a restaurant in the city.I had the burger with no tomato, no secret sauce and avacado. Massive burger, came with fries and lettuce and pickles, had to put them on myself. Couldn't finish the whole thing but was AMAZING. Burger cooked well, no overdo on the sauce or anything like that. Came with what I think was cheddar, but don't wanna say for sure, good quality cheese though.Overall 14/15 because the atmosphere matters, but not that much when the food and service is just that good.Parking: Parking is good, lots of spaces. Handicap parking out front of the restaraunt.Kid-friendliness: They have good kid options for food, ans give coloring stuff to the kids that come.Wheelchair accessibility: There are large wheelchair restrooms along with there being no stairs in the restaurant to get anywhere, and handicapped parking out front.“

“My bestie and I needed some fuel after a day at the Canterbury Spring craft fair. We wanted to try somewhere new with variety. Nachos were on the mind. Stopped in around 5pm on Saturday. Parking lot and restaurant was packed. We arrived and were greeted right away. Asked if we had a reservation which we didn't, but were seated within 5 minutes. I was a little shocked as it's very rare to be seated that quickly with a reservation. Our waitress Emilee was so friendly and did a wonderful job. She brought our beverages right away. She checked in often as well. I ordered the smash burger and my bestie ordered the nachos and side of French fries with a side of garlic aioli sauce. Unfortunately, the French fries were not hot, so we asked for new ones. Smash burger was fantastic. Hot, juicy, and just yummy. My bestie said nachos and French fries (once the new ones came out) were good. Nacho portion was huge. Next time, ask for more meat and maybe not so much queso, but overall tasty. The dessert menu had both of our favorites- key lime pie and chocolate cake. Of course we had to order it, but we asked for it to go. Let me just tell you, I wish I would have ordered dessert to start. Chocolate cake was amazing (sorry, forgot to take a photo). So chocolatey and the frosting amount was perfect. Key lime pie was good too. It was like a whipped version which was tasty. During our visit the manager stopped over to ask how dinner was. You don't see that too often so that was nice. Restaurant was big. Seating is also available outside as well. I thought it was neat how there were umbrellas on the ceiling- unique. I'd like to come back and try the pizza and more chocolate cake.“

“We stopped by randomly tonight for dinner. The food was excellent - the kale salad is to die for, the ahi tuna bites tasted so fresh and of course the burger was amazing. My 6 year old loved his kids meal (friend chicken bites). We shared mini donuts as well, which was the perfect dessert!The service was also 10/10. Our waitress was truly a wonderful, super efficient and gave great suggestions! Super impressed overall!“

“Had dinner at Kona Grill - Minnetonka last night and was pleasantly surprised by their late hours, open till midnight! They even offer a late-night happy hour. The sushi was decent, akin to what you'd expect from a mall location, as it's situated in Ridgedale Center. The service was top-notch - our server was both friendly and attentive. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the aquariums, adding a unique charm to the dining experience. A solid choice for a late evening out!“

“We were there on a Sunday night in early March 2024. Pretty quiet, just what we wanted for our anniversary. New York strip was one of the best steaks I've had along with the garlic mashed potatoes.My wife had the broiled walleye and was very pleased with it.Our server, Lydia, was awesome, took very good care of us!“

“This place went hard. Came here for an early dinner. Miller lite on tap. The burgers are probably 1/3 pounders and tasty. I asked for an extra patty and they were cool with that. Girlfriend had the Stacker in the rye and liked it too. VERY reasonably priced for what you are getting. We will absolutely be coming back. Also upgrade to the tots if you get a burger or sandwich.“

“Went in for the tequila tasting event. So fun to try a new tequila. All organic and no preservatives! So fun to learn about tequila. Also had a Mint Julip, made by the owner. So nummy. Took me back to sitting on the veranda at Oak Alley in Louisiana. Had the Brazin burger , cooked perfectly and the fries were done to perfection. Crunchy and hot! What a perfect ending to hard work week. Thank you!“

“I love 318! I come here at least 2 times a week and it's always perfect. The best place to relax and enjoy breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The servers are all incredible and friendly and making sure you feel welcomed & are enjoying your meal. The food is yummy and always freshly made.“

“Nice restaurant with a cozy vibe. Went for Valentine’s Day and got a reservation a week prior with no problem. Food was good but came out warm vs fresh/hot. Not sure if that was because it was a busy night but was expecting more for the pre we paid. Would give them another shot in the future on a less busy night.“

“Amazing food. Sadly this fabulous restaurant faces the challenge of nearby construction that my be offsetting to then weak at heart. We found the food to be unique, delicious and making you want more. Friendly, team to provide that sought after dining experience. The flavor and atmosphere of the Caribbean right in Excelsior MN.??????“

“We love Duke's! We loved it before kids and we especially love it after kids. It is such a friend, family, and dog friendly place. The staff is always super polite and makes great recommendations + the patio in summer or winter (covered) is the best atmosphere for littles. You can be away from the inside crowdedness and there's usually puppies for entertainment! Their wings never disappoint - the dry rub is so good + all sauces. We like to get all dry rub and sauces on the side. Try the whisky glaze! The royale with cheese is a go to here for us and everyone on the kids menu is practical and easy to pick from.“

“We happened upon the Chaska CPAH quite by accident. The Juicy Lucy was a winner with my dining partner! I tried the Chicken Pot Pie with was good but not as good as the Juicy Lucy. Beef Barley Soup was warm and filling. Great service from our waiter! Great beers on tap!“

“Lake Room is our favorite date night spot. Worth the drive for us. Shoutout to the bartender, Demi, who always makes fantastic cocktails. The kitchen puts out great food too. All around a must-try restaurant that will entice you to come back again and again.“

“We stopped in with 3 families including fours kids. The food was great, but the service was exceptional. We got seated right away, and there was no problem splitting the check, despite us sitting willy nilly. Everyone was happy with their food.“

“Layline is an exceptional restaurant. The food options are “creations” by the chef. This is high quality food with outstanding flavor, texture, and options. The management and servers were friendly and efficient. Cocktails are also creative and tasty. Outstanding place!“

“I came to this location to celebrate my daughters 5th birthday and it did not disappoint. The experience was very easy to workout the details and the staff member that helped us was very attentive. My daughter and her friends had a great time bowling and the pizza was delicious. They were able to have their own seating table and table for the gifts and food. I highly recommend coming to this location for a kids birthday party or even just to have some fun bowling“

“The Golden Nugget is just so consistent!!We caught the end of Happy Hour at 5 PM but got a drink at full price and a second one for $1. Solid ?The food is full of value. Burgers are above average. The fennel sausage flatbread was extraordinary!Our server was a Pro’s Pro! Read our table perfectly!What a fun dining experience!!“

“Sushi, Lemongrass Clam Chowder, and the Wedge Salad are my usuals but this time I ordered the Salmon Piccata and it blew me away. Perfectly mid-rare salmon (as requested) atop linguine tossed with lemon oil, asparagus, roasted tomatoes and finished with a white wine butter sauce and fried capers. I was in heaven. The linguine was just right and the salmon meaty and moist. I can't stand overcooked salmon and Crave does not disappoint. Of course, I got a Wedge Salad, this time topped with grilled chicken, for the next day. ;-)“

“We love going to Cuzzy's all the time. Terrific atmosphere and truly delicious food. Their prime rib is one of my favorite foods. Staff are curtious and very friendly!Dietary restrictions: One of our party has celiac disease, and their food requirements were professionally handled.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly place!“

“Great sports bar! I rated low for service just because everytime i go they always seem distracted. Last time, the hostess just kept looking over at a different table that they may have hosted I guess. I get the loaded grilled cheese. It has egg, ham, bacon and it is AMAZING. Also its a sports bar so it has a well defined atmosphere.“

“Never been here before..it was stellar!! Hannah are server was amazing and very attentive! Thank you. We were a party of 5 and everyone enjoyed their meals. The crab and lobster tower was delicious. A wonderful relaxing experience. Thank you!!Kid-friendliness: Mac an cheese, need I say more?“

“Best desert ever! Celebrating Cinco De Maya, their Mexican take on chocolate souffle was delectable. It was presented on a tray with accompaniments. The delicate crusted souffle was dusted with powder sugar. To go allong with desert was a melon scoop of vanilla bean ice cream served on its own plate, keeping it from melting. A nice pot of mexicana crema to poor on each bite. Finishing off this delight was a bowl of carmel tofu to sprinkle on top. I loved my PEI mussels in a chimi churri white wine cream sauce with grilled bread. Large FRESH mussels richly flavored, but not overpowering. This was pricier than we expected, but....“

“We had a drink around 10 one night and the drinks were spendy, but worth it. The server was knowledgeable about drinks and different accommodations to improve our drinks.The next morning we had the breakfast buffet. Good selection of different breakfast foods and everything was fresh and restocked on a timely basis.“
