Delicious food and fast and friendly service. The chef and owner made rounds around the restaurant to ensure everyone was enjoying their meals. I would definitely an on visiting again. I tried the candied bacon, the duck wontons,(which were amazing)the walleye with parmesan grits, and the shrimp and lobster mac.

While the food was amazing NONE of the staff or owners had the respect to address the table with the obnoxious children laying on the floor, loud and disruptive to every other patron trying to enjoy a meal with family and friends. The fact that ourwaitress as well and the waiter for the table apologized for the behavior at the table and lack of parenting. The owners shouldbe absolutely embarrassed for allowing this poor behavior to be allowed, and putting your staff in the position to have toapologize to the patrons because they don?t want to address the circus in the dining room because they make their money on tips.Maybe the chef and owner(s) should have been as attentive to the guests dining inside as they were to the event on thepatio. Then to add further insult you couldn?t even get our to go dessert order correct because we couldn?t actually enjoy itat the restaurant.

We had dinner on a Friday night here. The atmosphere was welcoming and staff was friendly and attentive. The food was really good and plated attractively. The nautical decor theme really added to the experience. I had the Sweet and Sassy 1/2 SmokedCornish Hen and Grilled Shrimp with smoked Gouda Cheese Sauce, it was exquisite.

This is a fine seafood restaurant in Cokato. It's a massive improvement upon the old Norseman restaurant that used to occupy the space. I've been here many times with my family on visits and it never fails to impress. My last visit was a quick stop but Ienjoyed the clam chowder and the special. I think the waitress might not have been over 21 as she had to get a colleague tobring me the beer I ordered. All went well nevertheless. They have lots of space at the bar and outside seating as well. Theyoften serve lobster mac and cheese, which is a dish made famous by Joe Beef in Montreal. It's good to see that this decadentdish is popular in Minnesota as well.
