Reviews for Arnie's Restaurant @ RGC in Lake Elmo, MN
This intimate restaurant boasts delicious food, beautiful views, and a welcoming atmosphere. The bar offers a wide variety of... drinks and I highly recommend trying any of the seasonal cocktails. The peach mule was perfect for a warm summer afternoon. Itried the Braised Tenderloin Tips & Gnocchi and it absolutely exceeded expectations. The foraged mushrooms were full of flavorand the handmade Gnocchi were cooked to perfection. The sauce was rich and well seasoned and the meat was moist and tender. Theside salad came out with a good assortment of fresh greens, homemade croutons, and house made dressing. We also tried the CheeseCurds as an appetizer and my companion tried the El Pastor Tacos - both were a hit! For dessert we had the Peanut Butter Pie andone slice was perfect for sharing as it was incredibly rich! Our server was thoughtful and attentive throughout the meal andthe rest of the staff was incredibly friendly. We will definitely be returning! **update - we came back for lunch and I willhighly suggest the artichoke dip! It was unique and full of flavor - a great way to start a meal. I had the Cuban Burger withsweet potato fries and everything was cooked to perfection. My companion had the club sandwich (not toasted, by request) and theportion size was generous. The original 5 star review stands! Read more
We enjoy Arnie's frequently while golfing at Royal or just coming out for a relaxing meal, and it's a place we bring family and... friends for a beautiful view and good food. The patio in the summer is one of our favorite spots in the Woodbury/Lake Elmo area,overlooking the course and lake. The indoor restaurant and bar are nice if not too crowded, when it can get hard to hear. Wehighly recommend the bulgogi rice bowl, braised tenderloin tips & gnocchi, or the walleye dinner entrees as those are our faves,but really all the food is delicious. Shout out to our favorite server MARIN, who always recognizes us as frequent guests andtakes great care of us! Also a shout out to MEREDITH, Royal's event manager, if you're looking for a fantastic place to book awedding, wedding reception or any other event. We worked with her in 2019 for our daughter's wedding and could not have beenmore pleased with the venue, and especially her wonderful care and attention to detail for our event! Read more

Beautiful restaurant overlooking the golf course designed by Arnold Palmer and Annika Soramstam. Food is very good and plated... with eye appeal. Great service with a smile. The restaurant also has a large deck with a great view of the lake, the first hole,and a putting green. Read more
If anybody's out there looking for a new restaurant to try this is the one! I've eaten all over the Eastern side of the cities... and this is one of the top five best places I've found. The presentation the food is so good that you may want to just sit thereand look at it rather than eat it. Amazing flavors different spins great pricing. They completely and apparently changed theirchef and he is amazing. If you've been here before come back and give it one more try and if you never been here before take itopportunity and try it just one time you will be amazed. No I do not work for these guys but I really want to see it succeedbecause the food is that good. It deserves to be one of the top restaurants in the area. Read more
