Reviews for Lake & Irving Restaurant & Bar in Minneapolis, MN
Unassuming for how top notch the menu is! So so good!! Very honest and friendly staff. Appears like a cozy, casual pub… but... then they offer extraordinary hand crafted cocktails (mocktails are also great) and a high class menu with some Hawaiianinfluence. We heard the chef studied in Hawaii (how cool!?). They have burgers for traditional eaters, but I had the Opakapakaand I think chicken lovers would really enjoy this meal. The texture and color mimic chicken, but it’s technically a red/pinksnapper fish. It’s served atop veggies and makes it a healthy choice!! Husband had the Loco Moco with regular beef and hethought it was delicious. And those three coconut shrimp on the loco moco: we’re ordering as an appetizer next time! Bangin’shrimp!! ???????? We’ll be back!! Read more
Absolutely wonderful. My parents, aunt and I went for lunch today. Patio seating with perfect weather. Our waiter Gerald was... friendly and informative. My father and I both had Buttermilk Chicken Sandwiches which were enormous. My mother ordered theAsian Slaw Salad with Salmon and had plenty to take home. My aunt ordered a side salad and nibbled on our meals. Read more
Friendly helpful staff, great food. They accommodated us outside for a group of 10, rearranging tables with a great... attitude. I had the poke nachos and the loco novo with ahi tuna - not sure what they put in that sauce to make it so delicious!Hubby enjoyed the wings and Cesar salad. All great! Read more
One of, if not the best meals I've ever eaten. The Salmon was out of this world good, and the service at the bar was excellent.... One of my favorite restaurants, Ever! Read more
Wow. I have never experienced anything like this place. The service was phenomenal - staff very friendly and helpful, and we... truly didn't wait for anything. The second we were low on a drink, our server was there ready to ask if we wanted another. Thefood was amazing, we shared Korean fried cauliflower, roasted Brussel sprouts and side of fries. Also has roasted red peppersounds. Everything on the menu is worth getting. Long story short, make a reservation ahead and go enjoy this place. Read more
What a great find! Mix of tavern and Hawaiian food. We ordered 9 dishes across our family and everything was wonderful.... Fantastic smoked wings, great ahi loco moco and the hot fries were so good! My wife always says you can judge a place by theirsalad and this was had great, fresh ingredients and a delicious lemongrass dressing. This will be a place we go to a few times ayear - that good!

First of all our waitress was outstanding. I just didn't get her name. We stumbled upon this spot trying to go to Italian... restaurant down the street. We walked past it twice. Even met a couple that asked us where the restaurant was located. At themoment we did not know. So I guess you can say, it was meant for us to be there. Seated and family had sparkling water to start.We're a family of five with a super baby. So trying to find a place to eat on Saturday afternoon is not usually easy on a whim.Ok, so let me tell you, the food was absolutely the best dish I've even in Minnesota. (See photos for dishes) my wife neverfinishes her dish. I was scared she was gonna lick the plate. My youngest boy ordered the burger. He had tears coming out of hiseyes. I asked him what was wrong. He said that his burger was amazing. My daughter and her boyfriend were quiet the entiretime, with eyes closed looking to heaven. I knew something was wrong. No, they were just deep into there dinner. So much theydidn't notice my baby grandson sneaking French fries from their plates. I finished the dinner with cheesecake, I never getdesert, ok rarely. Just heaven. I guess to say it yes. We will be back soon I have to eat the entire menu. Hand clap for thechef and team at Lake & Irving. You really made our evening. We will see you again soon.

Our first time attending was during their Rare Bourbon and BBQ Social and it was fantastic. Both the staff and atmosphere was on... point and speaking with some of the patrons we have a laundry list of items to go back and try. Would wholeheartedly recommend. Read more
