“I can't say enough about this place. We came here for my birthday dinner on the recommendation of a relative. I made a reservation and we were seated promptly at a cute window table. Our server made great wine recommendations, based on what we planned to order for dinner and her personal favorites. She took into account any budgetary requirements. The wine was absolutely delightful. We ordered charcuterie, which was just the right amount without taking away our appetite for dinner. The pasta dishes are incredible. Our favorite was the orecchiette which had a Bolognese sauce. The desserts were exactly the right size that we could each order our own and were so delicious. We can't wait to come back!“
“The food was excellent, Bison Short Ribs were cooked to perfection, the entire dish was incredibly tasty. The pheasant was also amazing.What made the night excellent though was our server, Kate. She was just great! Friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and just a delight to talk to. Thank you Kate, we’ll be back, again! She’ll remember us as the Scottish couple who she called scouse ?“
“Great location and views of the river! The food and service was fantastic. We especially loved the walleye and the chicken wild rice soup. The interior is a bit outdated. If they could turn the fireplaces on it would add ambiance to the room. Also some nice music would enhance the dining experience. Overall, great visit. We will be back to check out the outdoor seating.“
“We parked at one end of Hudson and walked the main strip looking for a new place to eat. We stumbled on Black Rooster ?, and it called to us. There's a steep flight of stairs leading you into the cool cave like atmosphere of the place.We had wine ? and smoked old fashioneds (yum) to start. We had the pan-roasted chicken breast ? and seared sea scallops, which were both amazing. The menu rotates, so who knows what we'll get next time (and there will be a next time).Parking: There are pay parking lots all along the main strip (pay only during specific hours).“
“Agave Kitchen has firmly established itself as one of my favored dining destinations in Hudson, distinguished by its array of flavorful dishes. The ambiance it provides is suitably versatile, accommodating both professional dinner meetings and casual outings with friends and family. This adaptability, combined with its culinary excellence, underscores the establishment's commitment to creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience for a diverse clientele.“
“The hottest spot in Lake Elmo for excellent cocktails, a wide selection of beers, remarkble appetizers, and a diverse dinner menu! The place is busy and seems to have a lot of repeat business. Expect a wait during weekend peak dinner hours, but it is worth the wait. The facility is clean and the staff is friendly!“
“Finally made it across the river to Nova today. My visit left me in the state of "how many times were you told to get here... & kept saying...mehh... I will? Well today did not disappoint! I loved the small brunch cocktail menu, not overwhelming and some great options, the bloody with dill pickle ice was very tempting! I opted for the Knob Creek Colab Sour, it was delicious & not too sweet so I sucked it down in two sips! It paired perfectly w hanging out w buddies on the patio! I like that he patio had options of small square tables, round tables and picnic tables w umbrellas! There's a small parking lot, that if it's full you can easily park along the Coulee curb. Boomin Barbecue has residency and w the Libations for Everyone podcast recording today I opted for the Knob Creek burger, "Smoked & Seared Burger, American Cheese, Smoked Pork Belly, Bourbon Braised Onions, Pickles, Knob Creek Aioli on a Sesame Potato Bun". I'm sorry, correction: the DELICIOUS Knob Creek burger!!! The bar was comfortable and spacious, read: you weren't touching legs w the chair next to you. You can see the two bathrooms from the bar, they're not tucked away in some corner. I like that there is a garage door open to the spacious patio. I was able to have a few words w the friendly owner. I may have drug my feet to have my inaugural visit, but I am positive there will be no delay on my next visit. Thanks Nova for such a fun, comfortable and delicious afternoon, cheers!“
“I ordered a Spotted Cow, as soon as the gal had time. I get annoyed when the bartender is messing with anything but serving food, booze or money transactions. I have no idea what she was doing to have taken so long to ask for the beer and a menu. I was famished. I ordered from a young man and asked which he recommended, the steak sandwich or burgers, he said burger. I ordered the $17.00 Forager Smash with onion rings. The sauce was funky tasting “mayonnaise truffle” and the burger a little too well done and dried out for my taste. I asked for medium rare and expected a juicy burger. Ya, for $17 bucks I want what I ask for! When I am famished almost anything tastes good, but not this. I am no expert on truffle mayo, so maybe that threw me off. If it was made wrong or spoiled, I wouldn’t know the difference, but I won’t order that again.One man band was pretty good playing his guitar and singing. If I had money to lose, I may have gambled or bought some pull tabs.I will go back for a weekend eve with my adult kids, and think they’ll like the vibe. The bar area appears mostly clean, but I didn’t walk around to see everything or use the restroom. There are two levels and I had a view of the St Croix River, the one man band, and everyone coming in and going out. I liked my seat at the bar choice a lot!The bill came and I added a 23% tip, but only the meal portion appeared to be deducted from my bank account. Not sure what happened there, but will definitely be back and make up for that soon.I’m gonna try the steak sandwich next time! Sit in the same spot! Appreciate the atmosphere and local hospitality! All good for going in too hungry 4*s all day long and hoping to give them 5* on my next experience ?️?“
“Seated quickly upon arrival and it was busy at the time. Server was very attentive and friendly trying to make us smile. Ordered the fish and chips. Arrived hot but the fries (chips) were not the standard looking fries. They were more thinly sliced potato chips that were deep fried. If the chips were cut wider, they would have been awesome...not much substance to the chips. Their loaded tutorials Tots were amazing. Also ordered the Rhueben with chips. Sandwich was good but same comment for the fries. Their housemate dip was awesome. Overall, great experience. Very clean restaurant and guests seemed to be enjoying their visit.“

“I have been critical in the past, of certain things. But only to make it better. This is getting to be our favorite dining place. The Woman that runs the place, goes up and beyond. If you can find better French Onion Soup, or Walleye, OR service then Stefanie, let me know!“
“Overall a great dining experience - I highly recommend the appetizers! Our group got the spinach artichoke dip, crab cakes, and stuffed mushrooms, which were all delightful! They have extensive martini options and the chocolate pretzel martini was spot on...The seafood pot pie and prime rib were amazing, however I would not recommend the risotto. Our server Tiff made up for it as she was fantastic! We will definitely be dining here again! ?“
