This is one of those places that I just can't understand why it is so popular. Yes, it's a great location, but everything else about this place is below average. The menu is safe ...

happy hour!! yes please 2/15/2010

very hip, popular happy hour bar! they defiantly fill up fast during their happy hour from 9 - close! service is usually decent , but if you are dressed to not impress, don't expect the top service, they seem to walk right past you as if you don't belong there (we learned out lesson that day! ) Pros: great service, get happy hour prices more

great brunch 9/27/2009

I had the opportunity to try this place for a Sunday Brunch. We were able to sit outside on a perfect late summer day. The view was nice, the service was good without being in your face. The brunch options were nice and there was enough that my entire party was able to enjoy what they ate. Cons - desserts that were dry, the cakes were apparently home made and they were the best and went fast. Avoid the little cupcake style desserts. The fruit plate. The fruit was good and fresh the problems was that for people like me with fruit allergies the mixing of some fruit and the same use of utensils I was unable to enjoy any fruit. (I realize that this is more of a personal issue but could easily be solved by placing fruit in separate bowls). I would recommend this place to anyone for a nice reasonably priced breakfast. Go on a nice day and sit outside (when it's warm of course). Pros: location/view, value, freshness more

Great food 9/27/2008

No need for the salt and pepper shakers at this restaurant as the food is seasoned perfectly, the fish & chips are excellent. The Jefferson parish chicken is served on a bed of pork tasso hash which is to die for. Lot's of places have some cajun entrees on there menus but when you get them they are far from cajun, not here, you get what you order. I've brought both of my sons who are ages 10 and 1 and it is good for children as well. My only complaint is that the wait staff needs to be a more familiar with the menu, but that won't stop me from dining here in the future. Overall Excellent. Pros: The food Cons: Wait staffs knowledge of menu more

NEW Chef and Menu 12/9/2007

Sunsets has a new chef and new menu worth checking out. The new chef is David Robinson, who has appeared on local television and is a veteran chef of some of the twin cities top restaurants. Patrons like his food so much, they follow him from establishment to establishment. New additions to the menu include Harvest Farfalle, Asian Burger, and one of the best appetizers I've had in a restaurant in a long time is the lamb lollies... YUM!!! Go check it out - he's ever making changes to the menu. so expect more surprises, including an awesome New Years' Eve menu. (PS - Plan to be at Sunsets next Thanksgiving for the feast - Oh my goodness, was it delicious)!! Pros: New Chef and Menu Cons: Service is not as polished as the food more

Good menu 7/8/2006

I enjoyed dinning here. They have a diverse menu with a seafood emphasis. Nice floor plan and good bar area. We loved the location and even liked when a train rolled by (which is 15 feet away from the restaurant). Pros: Good menu Cons: lightly trained wait staff more

Mmmmm soup! 4/4/2006

If not for any other reason, go here for their Chicken Wild Rice Soup! It is the best ever! Definitely worth the trip to try it! more

What a waste of real estate 12/2/2005

This is one of those places that I just can't understand why it is so popular. Yes, it's a great location, but everything else about this place is below average. The menu is safe and tries too hard to please everyone. I've been here twice, both against my will. The first time, I ordered a salad which was terribly over-dressed with a sickeningly sweet strawberry dressing. My girlfriend's roast chicken came out so overdone we had to send it back. The second time, I ordered a mushroom pasta. The pasta was limp and overcooked and the whole dish was dry. It had clearly spent some serious time under a heat lamp. Service is OK, but not stellar. This restaurant is clearly not trying to cater to people who really enjoy food. If you are a middle aged suburbanite with more money than taste, than this is the place for you. Pros: Location Cons: Boring food, clientele more

Avg MN restaurant but not a daring menu. 3/2/2005

Navigating Wayzata can be confusing, but parking was easy. Seating was immediate (prior reservation), and the view across the water great. While service was prompt and attentive, I found the atmosphere loud and crowded despite the ""upscale"" decor and location. The loud bar with TV's right next to the seating/eating area detracted quite a bit. I found the menu choices merely average, especially considering price. OK wine list. I ordered the walleye while my friend ordered salmon. Both fish were cooked well but without any memorable taste to them. In all, an ""average"" MN restaurant trying, but failing, to scale up. Pros: Parking, Waterfront View, Nearby shops Cons: Loud, Not Private, Hard to find more

Try it Again 7/30/2004

A beautiful place on a summer night. Sit outside and listen to the boats and water. The menu has been made over. It had been a few years since I had been, but have been there three times in the past few months. Everything is good ... don't forget to look at the nightly specials as there are some unique and tasty treats. The brunch is also outstanding. Pros: The View, The Food more

The view is the best feature 5/28/2003

The food is only average. The staff is no more competent or friendly than you will find anywhere else. The decor is upscale but otherwise uneventful. What really makes this place is location. Not many places afford you a view of Wayzata Bay and the activities on the lake. Overall I feel this place is a little expensive for what you get food and drink wise. However, they are always busy so it appears the market will bear this price point for them because of the view. Pros: view Cons: price more

Wait Staff....Hello? 11/7/2002

I found sunsets to be a little disappointing, considering how everyone raves about it. Its too cold to sit outside right now, so that might be a part of it. The atmosphere was very disappointing, food was ok. Wait staff, hello? We will try again; maybe next time will be better. Pros: Lake View, inexpensive Cons: wait staff, sports bar atmosphere more

Comfortable 10/17/2002

I found this establishment to be very comfortable. The quality of the food and the service were very good. There was a wait to be seated. I've visited twice, and found a good mix in the crowd and the menu. Nice area/view, too. more

super breakfast 8/8/2002

they have super thick bacon and plenty of it with your eggs (cooked the way you like them) and super fast service. Go early so you dojn't have to wait long! the large portions are worth the wait though! your coffee cup is never one or two sips low. Pros: food quality, inexpensive, celebrity crowd Cons: wait, bad parking, crowded more

Never again. 6/15/2002

I felt like a fool for trying this place again a second time, but I wanted to be sure the first night wasn't just a bad fluke. Well, now I'm sure. The food is good, but not worth the prices. The service is AWFUL, and it wasn't even busy! The wait staff stands around & talks to each other instead of taking orders or checking on tables. The atmosphere is nice, but ruined by the ""wannabe"" clientel that have watched too many Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place re-runs. Why people praise this place, I'll never know. Cons: Bad service, Overpriced more
