Great service. Good food. However slightly disappointed in the quality/selection the small plates. Good meatballs and drinks!

Hazellewood is a favorite happy hour and dinner spot. It's a cool restaurant even though it's in a strip mall. It has a very cozy feel with the fireplaces. I have been impressed by everything I have ordered. I love the meatball appetizer. The pork chops are amazing, and love the salads. The wine list is nice and they pour a great drink. You can expect service with a smile.

Great ambiance in the bar, but dining area appeared to be a little crowded. Overall a good atmosphere for conversation and visiting with friends over a great meal. The Chop Salad is excellent and steaks are decent, but might be a little over-priced as compared to other area restaurants.

One of my family's favorites! The menu changes seasonally so it has fresh food and variety. Smoked gouda hash browns, amazingly good. Prime rib is excellent. Dinner slso comes with popovers with maple butter. Great if the little ones are getting antsy They have a nice room with a fireplace you can reserve for special events. We had my mothers birthday there, about 24 people. There was enough room for 2 tables plus one for presents and a cake we brought in. They didn't charge us for the room because it was a late-morning event.

I've been here countless times and they never fail to impress me every time. The service, ambience, and especially the food just get me every time. The menu changes over time and they keep the flavors and the food so fresh. The standby appetizer I always get is the seared ahi tuna. Clean, delicious and so satisfying. I love the fresh popovers with honey butter and their prime rib too! I love that they have new entrees all the time, keeps me coming back.

First, let me say I've had breakfast here a few times and was pleased with what I received. I stopped in for dinner the other night. I was craving walleye, it had been a while since I've had it. I ordered their pecan crusted walleye. It came with brocoli and a rice side. Honestly, I think the fish was recooked. It apoeared to be dipped twice in the batter (way too much batter) and I'm not even sure it was walleye. The brocoli was drown in some salty beef stock or something and the pile of black rice had no taste. So dissapointed... I will stick with breakfast.

We've been going to the Hazellwood since it opened and have had some really good experiences Many times we go on Fri or Sat for the prime rib. Most times it is very good. Sadly not so tonight. Thin and allot of waste. We'll go there again

Have been here several times, with very good food and friendly, capable, can-do service. My wife really enjoys the hot popovers. Their ribs are quite good, too. They have a large menu, with many tantalizing options to choose from. Great happy hour, as well.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for happy hour, which was only available in the bar area, so we ended up just ordering dinner instead. We got a Quinoa Burger and a Healthy Bowl (with grilled tofu) and split them both. The tofu was delicious, light, and flavorful but was surprisingly served on a plate ( instead of the "bowl " you might expect). The tofu steaks were served on top of a small portion of grains and beside a small salad and seasonal vegetable. The burger was unusually flat (reminiscent of a latke ) and lacked the integrity and flavor of more successful veggie burgers. It seemed a little bland and uninspired. I also felt that the fries should've been served with aioli or something besides ketchup.Overall the service was great and the restaurant was clean and classy. I'd be more likely to return if the restaurant was closer to the water, but I'm not opposed.

LOVE the smoked Gouda hashbrowns. Excellent food and amazing service. They have outstanding service but they are very busy. Make sure you call ahead for a reservation. I think it has a perfect sized menu with excellent options from steak to pasta. The popovers are outstanding. This is my go-to place for a nice dinner close to our house.

This was my first experience at Hazellewood and I will definitely be back again! Incredibly pleasant and attentive staff, diverse menus with creative and healthy choices abound, very reasonable prices and a comfortable open layout. I had the Blue Plate Meatloaf special and loved it! The mushrooms and light sauce or gravy atop the dish complimented the meatloaf nicely and the toast had a lovely thick crust studded with while grains which added great texture to the meal. I will definitely be back again!

Great place for kids (mac & cheese, I think homemade and a kids favorite!) and a large enough menu to please the out-of-town family. Prices are also pretty good. I liked the Walleye sandwich. The burgers are decent. Ladies & heath conscious like the 'Healthy Bowls' with tuna or salmon. Highly recommended.

Christa B.
We went here for lunch and my boyfriend ordered the walleye tacos which made me have ordering remorse. They were amazing. They come with a few pieces of battered walleye and some sort of sweet slaw in the tortilla. They didn't have any kind of fishy taste to them. They were very fresh tasting. I ordered the Tonka Bay Club with turkey and ham on ciabatta with a basil mayo. It was a good cold sandwich. The shoestring fries were delish. The atmosphere was calm and homey and beautifully decorated for Christmas.

We've been here for breakfast in the past and the food is excellent. Went there today. Arrived at 10:55 or so and they say they stop serving breakfast on weekdays at 11. I think I saw 5 tables seated and we were a party of 7...likely a $100+ check. We left. You've been warned.

It looks nice but The place smelled like a sour mop! Please get a new mop head and clean mop water for cripes sakes, gross! Sorely disappointed. The donuts French toast was little more that a donut cut in half and deep fried with whipped cream and sprinkles. It hadn't even touched egg! Really wish they'd fix this place, it looks schnazzy, but doesn't deliver.

We live nearby and have been meaning to eat here for years. Finally got around to it on Mothers Day. Buffet only - food was all really poor. Really not good.... By joint family decision we will not be returning... Also - 2 adults, 2 kids, no booze it was basically $100.

I used to go to Hazelwood's for decently priced food and drinks. Let me say that my last visit will be my well.....last. With no warning, the prices zoomed sky high and the food quality zoomed way down. I mean $15 for the beef tenderloin fondue is quite steep given how little beef was on the plate. The service used to be better and so was the food. If you are going to spend bigger bucks on food there are many places that are worth the spend, not this one.

For it's location, in what feels like a "ritzier" suburb, near some really great restaurants, I expected a bit more for the price. Prime rib wasn't prepared as ordered - the bartender offered his recommendation of medium rare, then grilled - giving a glowing recommendation for the carmelization it produced. However, when it arrived, it was clearly medium, and had not been grilled. The bartender noticed, and apologized. Literally, he just said "oh, guess they missed that, sorry," and made no attempt to rectify the situation. Overall, he was actually very attentive, knowledgeable, and charismatic. My fish was just ok. This place (in my mind) aspires to be a Crave or Twin City Grill-esque restaurant, but falls short. The prices aren't justified for the steak and seafood options. A friend had the peanut butter burger, and absolutely RAVED about it. Perhaps that's the ticket to enjoying Hazellewood!

Amber H.
We went for breakfast this past weekend. While we found all food items to be wonderful. Our server was very attentive. The piece that we couldn't understand was there was a wait but open tables existed inside, and we ended up waiting for 20 minutes for an inside table. Just a little confusing?!? While we were waiting we noticed people who arrived after us were seated right away (it appears they take reservations). The hostess seemed to have a bit of an attitude so that was probably the worst part of our experience. We will definitely return to further enjoy the food.

Julie M.
Nice atmosphere, good food and bar, decent happy hour. You don't see a ton of kids there, but they do have a kids menu and it certainly is loud enough to cover up a little kid noise! The patio is really nice in the summer. Even facing the parking lot they have lots of flowers to keep it a bit serene.

This is a very nice place. The bartenders are friendly. But our waitress for dinner needs to find another job. Her lack of enthusiasm put a damper on things. I think if you are working as a server you should be required to smile. The place is a little pricey, but I felt it was prepared correctly and tasted very good. I looked at what other diners ordered and many menu entrees looked delicious. I will definitely return.

The day turned brighter when we sat at the bar and began our experience at Hazellewood on the last day of 2010. Lori, our server at the bar, was most congenial and attentive. The day turned even more to the better when we ordered the shrimp and corn chowder. They make every soup of the day on premises, and fresh the day it is served! The burger is big enough for two to split, we had ours with blue cheese, with fries of course! The secret here is that these managing partners [Lori and her husband David] were among the founders of Redstone at the birth of that enterprise. For those of you who remember the early days of Redstone when they served fresh home-made pickles, they are still available HERE. Served with the burger, they were our tip off to the Redstone roots, which was confirmed in conversation with the managers. We have a new base in Excelsior. You deserve to give Hazellewood an open-minded try!!!

Sophie R.
I have lunch and dinner here before and remember it being pretty decent but I'm rating them on their breakfast and brunch. The oatmeal pancakes are excellent as is the more traditional eggs benedict on the menu although they make it with focaccia bread instead of an English muffin which is a nice touch. The benedict with the biscuits and gravy is a bit too heavy and the gravy had too much of a red pepper flavor and would be better if the biscuits were fresher/moister and the sausage gravy was more traditional.

Note: ANY establishment that uses trans-fat/hydrogenated oil loses a point! They refuse to change after multiple requests. They lost their head chef and have never been quite the same. Skip right past the teenage hostesses and move to the bar area; the other side is slow and caters to blue-hairs and trust fund babies that wait for them to pick up the check. Their location for most adds a star because due to Lake Minnetonka's limited choices. Sunday is one of the BEST happy hours around "the lake". Especially around NFL season with 4 HDTVs. Open late, sorry. Fly-over country gets another deduction for their early closing time. If you stick to their recommended items on the menu, you'll do well.

Hazellewood is great! We've been going since they first opened almost 10 years ago now. The service is great and the atmosphere on the bar side of the restaurant is lively. Food is consistently good and they try lots of new dishes to keep their menu fresh. Lots of their service staff has bee there for years which to me means it's a good place to eat and work.

Come here often as one of our go to spots close to home. Half price burgers on Monday are great and they make all of their salad dressings in house. Their breakfasts can't be beat for the money and their Gouda hashbrowns are off the hook. Full bar for those who like to drink. Good spot for sure!

It started out shaky with the scrappy little blond hostess w but our waitress Britt made it 5 stars for our brunch. Food was a 10, the service was a good 11 on a scale of 1-10. Its hard to find a place you can't bioch about these days and the only complaint was the hostess sitting people in front of us that came after us. We will be back.

Such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Weather permitting there is a sweet patio (butts up to the parking lot tho') but I'll tell you what bugs me....on a night like this the smokers take over the patio rendering it USELESS to non smokers that would like an outdoor dining experience. They have these really cool flame warmers and cozy seating but it REEEEEKS of smoke and is pretty intolerable. They really should ban it from the patio. just sayin'. Food was so delicious and the prices were too! Not on the menu (but they made special for me) was a scrummy scoop of vanilla ice cream with a shot of baileys over top...nice. thanks Hazellewood. I'll be back for sure! Ban the smoking from the patio so I can sit out there one night :)

Have given this restaurant so many second chances, but no more. Our last outing resulted in overcooked food and sub-par service. We had tables around us come and go before we even got drink service. The manager did come out and apologize, but that's all. No comps, no explanation other than they were busy (most tables were empty). On my blacklist.

John M.
Hazellewood is nice. They have really good bloody marys. Sometimes I think the dining room is a little too formal but their bar area is really cool. I really like the Shroom N Cheese Burger. Delicious stuff. And I really like their patio. It's like a more upscale Maynard's in Excelsior with actually good food.

Nichole B.
This restaurant is in dangerous proximity to my work, so I go here wayyyyy too often. In my defense, it is delicious. I usually visit them in the morning hours which means oatmeal pancakes with fuji apples on top. Yes. They also have the best breakfast sausage and hash browns, it is just ridiculous. I went there for dinner last night and got the Chicken Meatballs & Spaghetti. Wow. The meatballs were HUGE and there was a perfect amount of pasta and sauce, with just the right amount of kick. (Usually my biggest complaint about restaurant spaghetti is that the sauce is too sweet, but their's is just perfect.) Thursdays are Ladies Night as well, so this meant half price cocktails for us! Yay, just what I need! :) Really though, the star of their menu is something that you don't even pay for. No matter what time you go, you always get a basket of piping hot popovers and hazelnut butter. They are amazing. Really. They are so good it is stupid. The popovers are delicious on their own, but I mostly use them as a vessel to shovel the hazelnut butter into my face. That stuff is like crack, amazing, buttery crack. So there you have it. Good service, great food, and butter crack. Just go try it.

Mark L.
Food was exceptional, service only so-so. They ran out of popovers, which they showcase on their menu...still, the almond-crusted walleye and pork chops were great...the gouda au gratin potatoes awesome. Service was mediocre at best for a slowe Sunday evening. The reservation and the waitress were made aware of a birthday celebration, yet the waitress had to be reminded after dinner about a birthday dessert. Not a big deal but a all in all not great service. Worth another visit (breakfast, maybe?) due to the excellent food.

Jennell E.
Excellent food and even better service! Our server had great recommendations and even was honest enough to tell us the couple dishes to skip (which I appreciate). Don't let the exterior fool you, it is cozy inside. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often, gem of a place.

Good place for breakfast. Attentive staff and good coffee. I've eaten breakfast here twice. One time I made the mistake of ordering their special hash browns that have a sour cream sauce in the middle. Everyone else I was with enjoyed the hash browns but they really upset my stomach. Otherwise great food.

I wish there were an option for a 2.5, because I feel like Hazellewood is between a 2 and 3. We met some friends for a dinner here on a Saturday night. They live in the area and enjoy Hazellewood frequently, so we were excited to check it out. My husband and I are self-admitted foodies and enjoy trying new places, although I will admit we're a tall order and fairly tough to impress. I prefer to rate restaurants after having experienced them at least a couple of times, however I am fairly sure we won't be going out of our way to go here again. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't great. It was... it was fine. Nothing stood out, nothing wowed me, nothing was top notch. I felt like the place was trying to make people feel like they are someplace nicer based largely on location and ambiance, and that's pretty much where it ends. Hazellewood was about what I expected. The menu is broad (too broad). It's nicely decorated, the staff is professional and amiable (although they did mess up a drink order and forget to bring out one of our sides). My main focus is always the food itself. The first thing that annoyed me was the fish situation. They allow for people to select the seafood they want (scallops, salmon, shrimp, whatever), the way they want it cooked, and the sauce that's used. That's a red flag for me. The chef should know to make those decisions. It's fine if they want to do that, but then don't purport to be a fine dining establishment - that's all. Some yahoo is going to walk in and order his scallops broiled in a walnut sauce and think it's brilliant. So I guess that's great for the restaurant in a way because you want people to like your place, but it's isn't a true reflection of good cuisine. Anyway. My husband got the prime rib, which he liked just fine. It came with gouda hash browns which were okay. Believe it or not, it's nice to be able to taste the potato sometimes and not just the gouda. Maybe his batch had a little too much gouda. Or way too much gouda. Either way, one could hardly taste the actual veg. Despite my annoyance about the seafood situation I did order the scallops. Mine were overcooked. The veg (carrots) that came with the scallops were slathered and dripping with far too much butter (yes there is such a thing - I'm even part French and there IS such a thing). I'd be shocked if the popovers were not made from some box. I'd also be shocked if the fries weren't a frozen variety. The chocolate cake dessert was standard. It's chocolate layer cake. It's hard to mess that up. That was acceptable - there wasn't anything uber sensational about it. Unfortunately, the ambiance was destroyed by a large, noisy, overly spray tanned collection of husbands and wives who were seated at the table next to us - the kind of people who like to shout at whomever is sitting right next to them instead of talking like a normal person who is aware that they are in a public place. It was just obnoxious and didn't help. So overall, it was just okay. The food is not outstanding. If you are a foodie, or a good cook, don't bother. I really wanted to like this place because our good friends love it and it's their favorite place near their home. I'd go back if they want to meet us there again sometime, but now that I know what to expect, the context of the restaurant and the limitations of the kitchen, I would probably just stick to something like a burger or a salad.

Hazelwood is probably one of the best restaurants in the Western suburbs. Located in a strip mall in Excelsior/Tonka Bay area this food consistently surprises me. Started out with a grapefruit martini that was more martini and less grapefruit. We then moved on to the beet salad which was so good and very filling. I suggest you share with someone else. Then I ordered the scallops which my waitress suggested I order in the pot. Excellent suggestion- they were amazing and differently prepared then I am used to. We skipped dessert but did also order the popovers which are everyone's favorite. My other diners loved their meals pasta and turkey dinner. But one of our guests didn't like the prime rib at all. We are able to sit outside which was amazing in March but there was no light on our tables so it was hard to see what the dishes looked like. The wait staff are very friendly but not very sharp. I asked for water and they brought me a glass but most servers would ask the rest of the table if they wanted some as well. He did not. Oh well!

Swung in here after golf one Tuesday evening as it was a down pour and the "Tap" in the name peaked my interest. Pretty disappointing as they had 7 taps of the usual commercial swill and only one tap worth pulling (Surly, Furious). Food was good but somewhat spendy. Just had a Burger. Service was great and bartender was friendly not to mention easy on the eyes. I would definitely come back regularly if the TAP selection was upgraded, but won't cry as I drive by next time in my Golf Shoes!

Don't let the strip mall setting fool you - this is a great restaurant in a weird location. The food is American comfort food done very well (don't skip the potatoes). Portions are generous and the service is solid. Most of the time, you won't wait a minute for a table. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the far west metro.

This is one of my favorite restaurants! I am lucky enough to work in the area and try to get in there at least once a month. I have never had a bad meal. You can't go wrong with the fish tacos! There brunch is amazing..especially the smoked gouda hash browns :) Who can say no to a $2 Mimosa?

Hazellewood Grill and Tap Room (Yelp, get the spelling right) is one of our favorite local haunts in the Lake Minnetonka area. Like many reviewers have said, the location and outside of the restaurant are not very impressive. However, the interior is very nice and wait staff, bartenders and hostesses are friendly and helpful. Above all, the food is great. If you want Minnesota comfort food this is your place. Steaks, hamburgers, chicken, meatloaf, walleye, you name it and they have it. For me personally it is the side items that are the most impressive. They have the most wonderful grilled asparagus I have ever tasted along with these incredible Smoked Gouda Gratin Potatoes that you could eat by the scoop. Top it off with a nice bar that has great happy hour and nice TVs to watch sporting events. Even if not from the area, give it a try.

We just found this place for breakfast and will for sure be back soon! Super friendly and welcoming staff, interesting menu, delicious food, reasonable prices, and a great ambiance. My husband had the oatmeal pancakes with blueberries and apples. Hands down the best pancakes we've ever tasted! Thin and a bit crunchy on the outside and buttery soft on the inside. So wonderful! I had the Florentine Benedict that came with smoked gouda hash browns. Heavenly! Can't wait to get back and eat more!

One of the best meal options around western Lake Minnetonka and without the pretense of Fletcher's or Maynard's. Because they're not on the lake they MUST deliver good food and deliver they do. Favorites include the prime rib, walleye sandwich and Carnegie sandwhich (no longer on the menu but if you ask nicely they may wrestle one up for you). The service is solid and they have some strong bartenders.

Great professional service. Food was excellent. The kids meals were excellent (the "best mac and cheese we've ever had" said the kids). Great beer options. Very nice interior design and ambiance. We would come back often as a family if it wasn't so spendy. Maybe it's more of a date night place for us as a couple.

We really like this place. It's tucked in a psudo-strip mall on County Road 19 as it runs between a couple of bays on Lake Minnetonka between Excelsior and Navarre. The interior is split into two sections with a bar on the left when you enter and the dining room on the right. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. The menu changes regularly and the food is always great. The menu skews toward comfort food which is perfect year round, but especially in the winter. Be sure to ask for one of the cozy booths. Happy hour is fully celebrated and both lunch and dinner specials have been added. Favorites include the walleye, grilled meatloaf and the turkey dinner.

I have driven past Hazelwood countless times but never went in. I was put-off by the fact that is in a cheesy strip mall. We finally stopped fighting our suburban tendencies last week and stopped in for dinner. The interior is nothing special. It looks like a restaurant in a suburban strip mall trying to be fancy (my mom loves it there "oooooh, it has a fireplace!). So at this point you are probably wondering: Hmm. It seems to already have 2 strikes against it (the exterior/location and the interior), how is it that it is getting a Yay! I'm a fan!? Well my friends, those 4 stars are for the food and the service. Everything we have eaten at Hazelwood has been great. They aren't breaking any new ground with their menu, but they do comfort food really well. They also have an attentive wait- and bar-staff. My husband really likes their burgers and their grown-up mac and cheese. I love the steak salad. Also - they have a pretty solid beer/cocktail/wine selection.

Awsome food! Great atmosphere! They have the best Prime Rib Sandwich. Everytime go it is the same great food and the staff is fantastic. Try the Hazelletini- vodka, Frangelico and tuaca. Yummy!

There are not many restaurants in the Lake Minnetonka area, that are of this caliber AND aren't on the lake, and therefore jam packed in the summer months. This eatery isn't far from the lake and offers great food at reasonable prices. They have great burgers and a wide selection of appetizers.

Great beer selection. Service was great. Loved the Chicken Caesar Salad. Make sure to get the Chips Three Ways and the Green Bean appetizers. My family and I loved the meal. We will come in again soon.

I've been here countless times and they never fail to impress me every time. The service, ambience, and especially the food just get me every time. The menu changes over time and they keep the flavors and the food so fresh. The standby appetizer I always get is the seared ahi tuna. Clean, delicious and so satisfying. I love the fresh popovers with honey butter and their prime rib too! I love that they have new entrees all the time, keeps me coming back.

I love this place so much, I post pictures of their food. Wide variety of food my family loves. I have eaten there many times

First, let me say I've had breakfast here a few times and was pleased with what I received. I stopped in for dinner the other night. I was craving walleye, it had been a while since I've had it. I ordered their pecan crusted walleye. It came with brocoli and a rice side. Honestly, I think the fish was recooked. It apoeared to be dipped twice in the batter (way too much batter) and I'm not even sure it was walleye. The brocoli was drown in some salty beef stock or something and the pile of black rice had no taste. So dissapointed... I will stick with breakfast.

We've been going to the Hazellwood since it opened and have had some really good experiences Many times we go on Fri or Sat for the prime rib. Most times it is very good. Sadly not so tonight. Thin and allot of waste. We'll go there again
(4)Randy K.
Have been here several times, with very good food and friendly, capable, can-do service. My wife really enjoys the hot popovers. Their ribs are quite good, too. They have a large menu, with many tantalizing options to choose from. Great happy hour, as well.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for happy hour, which was only available in the bar area, so we ended up just ordering dinner instead. We got a Quinoa Burger and a Healthy Bowl (with grilled tofu) and split them both. The tofu was delicious, light, and flavorful but was surprisingly served on a plate ( instead of the "bowl " you might expect). The tofu steaks were served on top of a small portion of grains and beside a small salad and seasonal vegetable. The burger was unusually flat (reminiscent of a latke ) and lacked the integrity and flavor of more successful veggie burgers. It seemed a little bland and uninspired. I also felt that the fries should've been served with aioli or something besides ketchup.Overall the service was great and the restaurant was clean and classy. I'd be more likely to return if the restaurant was closer to the water, but I'm not opposed.
(4)Jon S.
LOVE the smoked Gouda hashbrowns. Excellent food and amazing service. They have outstanding service but they are very busy. Make sure you call ahead for a reservation. I think it has a perfect sized menu with excellent options from steak to pasta. The popovers are outstanding. This is my go-to place for a nice dinner close to our house.
(4)Katie B.
This was my first experience at Hazellewood and I will definitely be back again! Incredibly pleasant and attentive staff, diverse menus with creative and healthy choices abound, very reasonable prices and a comfortable open layout. I had the Blue Plate Meatloaf special and loved it! The mushrooms and light sauce or gravy atop the dish complimented the meatloaf nicely and the toast had a lovely thick crust studded with while grains which added great texture to the meal. I will definitely be back again!
(4)Adam Z.
Thanksgiving meal is amazing. Burgers are good too. Price is reasonable. Drinks are good, but I'm normally a beer drinker. Service is always good
(5)Stephanie C.
Cute restaurant and the food was good.
(4)Chris T.
One of the better resteraunts in the area, but there isn't much competition. Very noisy and always crowded. Staff seem stressed out as a result. Food is always good though. Make sure to ask for popovers with the whipped honey butter!
(3)Eric S.
This is an excellent local restaurant. They have very good food all around. It has a nice bar and good vibe. Can't miss.
(4)Steve A.
Great place for kids (mac & cheese, I think homemade and a kids favorite!) and a large enough menu to please the out-of-town family. Prices are also pretty good. I liked the Walleye sandwich. The burgers are decent. Ladies & heath conscious like the 'Healthy Bowls' with tuna or salmon. Highly recommended.
(4)Christa B.
We went here for lunch and my boyfriend ordered the walleye tacos which made me have ordering remorse. They were amazing. They come with a few pieces of battered walleye and some sort of sweet slaw in the tortilla. They didn't have any kind of fishy taste to them. They were very fresh tasting. I ordered the Tonka Bay Club with turkey and ham on ciabatta with a basil mayo. It was a good cold sandwich. The shoestring fries were delish. The atmosphere was calm and homey and beautifully decorated for Christmas.
(4)Mark K.
We've been here for breakfast in the past and the food is excellent. Went there today. Arrived at 10:55 or so and they say they stop serving breakfast on weekdays at 11. I think I saw 5 tables seated and we were a party of 7...likely a $100+ check. We left. You've been warned.
(1)Andrew C.
It looks nice but The place smelled like a sour mop! Please get a new mop head and clean mop water for cripes sakes, gross! Sorely disappointed. The donuts French toast was little more that a donut cut in half and deep fried with whipped cream and sprinkles. It hadn't even touched egg! Really wish they'd fix this place, it looks schnazzy, but doesn't deliver.
(1)Alex C.
We live nearby and have been meaning to eat here for years. Finally got around to it on Mothers Day. Buffet only - food was all really poor. Really not good.... By joint family decision we will not be returning... Also - 2 adults, 2 kids, no booze it was basically $100.
(1)Daniela G.
I used to go to Hazelwood's for decently priced food and drinks. Let me say that my last visit will be my well.....last. With no warning, the prices zoomed sky high and the food quality zoomed way down. I mean $15 for the beef tenderloin fondue is quite steep given how little beef was on the plate. The service used to be better and so was the food. If you are going to spend bigger bucks on food there are many places that are worth the spend, not this one.
(1)Brandy L.
For it's location, in what feels like a "ritzier" suburb, near some really great restaurants, I expected a bit more for the price. Prime rib wasn't prepared as ordered - the bartender offered his recommendation of medium rare, then grilled - giving a glowing recommendation for the carmelization it produced. However, when it arrived, it was clearly medium, and had not been grilled. The bartender noticed, and apologized. Literally, he just said "oh, guess they missed that, sorry," and made no attempt to rectify the situation. Overall, he was actually very attentive, knowledgeable, and charismatic. My fish was just ok. This place (in my mind) aspires to be a Crave or Twin City Grill-esque restaurant, but falls short. The prices aren't justified for the steak and seafood options. A friend had the peanut butter burger, and absolutely RAVED about it. Perhaps that's the ticket to enjoying Hazellewood!
(3)Amber H.
We went for breakfast this past weekend. While we found all food items to be wonderful. Our server was very attentive. The piece that we couldn't understand was there was a wait but open tables existed inside, and we ended up waiting for 20 minutes for an inside table. Just a little confusing?!? While we were waiting we noticed people who arrived after us were seated right away (it appears they take reservations). The hostess seemed to have a bit of an attitude so that was probably the worst part of our experience. We will definitely return to further enjoy the food.
(4)Julie M.
Nice atmosphere, good food and bar, decent happy hour. You don't see a ton of kids there, but they do have a kids menu and it certainly is loud enough to cover up a little kid noise! The patio is really nice in the summer. Even facing the parking lot they have lots of flowers to keep it a bit serene.
(4)Berg N.
I absolutely love it here. The food is always incredible and the service is fantastic. I would recommend Hazellewood to anyone and everyone!!
(5)John G.
I can always count on Hazelewood, a good neighborhood restaurant. Whether it is the crusted walleye or the chop solid the food is good in a relaxed atmosphere. The service is constant and available. The banana cream pie is very very good.
(3)Jeff F.
food was good and the service was excellent came here for lunch on a business trip , found on yelp and read the reviews
(4)Gregg M.
Great lunch specials and free WiFi. I would not recommend this as a diverse or interesting place...but the service is nice and the food was reasonably priced.
(3)Kim P.
im not a big fan of minnesota but this is a great place! we went for brunch on sunday. seemed like everyone was wearing their sunday best. i started to think that god vacations in MN for the winter. i dunno. the eggs were wonderful, the bloody mary was delightful, and the other stuff was just perfect free popovers on every table! yay!
(5)K E.
This is a very nice place. The bartenders are friendly. But our waitress for dinner needs to find another job. Her lack of enthusiasm put a damper on things. I think if you are working as a server you should be required to smile. The place is a little pricey, but I felt it was prepared correctly and tasted very good. I looked at what other diners ordered and many menu entrees looked delicious. I will definitely return.
(4)Brent B.
The day turned brighter when we sat at the bar and began our experience at Hazellewood on the last day of 2010. Lori, our server at the bar, was most congenial and attentive. The day turned even more to the better when we ordered the shrimp and corn chowder. They make every soup of the day on premises, and fresh the day it is served! The burger is big enough for two to split, we had ours with blue cheese, with fries of course! The secret here is that these managing partners [Lori and her husband David] were among the founders of Redstone at the birth of that enterprise. For those of you who remember the early days of Redstone when they served fresh home-made pickles, they are still available HERE. Served with the burger, they were our tip off to the Redstone roots, which was confirmed in conversation with the managers. We have a new base in Excelsior. You deserve to give Hazellewood an open-minded try!!!
(4)Sophie R.
I have lunch and dinner here before and remember it being pretty decent but I'm rating them on their breakfast and brunch. The oatmeal pancakes are excellent as is the more traditional eggs benedict on the menu although they make it with focaccia bread instead of an English muffin which is a nice touch. The benedict with the biscuits and gravy is a bit too heavy and the gravy had too much of a red pepper flavor and would be better if the biscuits were fresher/moister and the sausage gravy was more traditional.
(4)Clint E.
Note: ANY establishment that uses trans-fat/hydrogenated oil loses a point! They refuse to change after multiple requests. They lost their head chef and have never been quite the same. Skip right past the teenage hostesses and move to the bar area; the other side is slow and caters to blue-hairs and trust fund babies that wait for them to pick up the check. Their location for most adds a star because due to Lake Minnetonka's limited choices. Sunday is one of the BEST happy hours around "the lake". Especially around NFL season with 4 HDTVs. Open late, sorry. Fly-over country gets another deduction for their early closing time. If you stick to their recommended items on the menu, you'll do well.
(3)Mike F.
Hazellewood is great! We've been going since they first opened almost 10 years ago now. The service is great and the atmosphere on the bar side of the restaurant is lively. Food is consistently good and they try lots of new dishes to keep their menu fresh. Lots of their service staff has bee there for years which to me means it's a good place to eat and work.
(4)Eugene H.
pretty busy and crowded when me and my coworkers went. we each got a different fish dish and they all came out pretty good. the price and the slow service kind of brought this place down a bit.
(3)CHill Y.
Come here often as one of our go to spots close to home. Half price burgers on Monday are great and they make all of their salad dressings in house. Their breakfasts can't be beat for the money and their Gouda hashbrowns are off the hook. Full bar for those who like to drink. Good spot for sure!
(4)Chad K.
It started out shaky with the scrappy little blond hostess w but our waitress Britt made it 5 stars for our brunch. Food was a 10, the service was a good 11 on a scale of 1-10. Its hard to find a place you can't bioch about these days and the only complaint was the hostess sitting people in front of us that came after us. We will be back.
(5)Brian M.
PopOvers! Great breakfast, get the gouda hashbrowns. Awesome neighborhood hangout. Never disappoints.
(5)Susan C.
Such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Weather permitting there is a sweet patio (butts up to the parking lot tho') but I'll tell you what bugs me....on a night like this the smokers take over the patio rendering it USELESS to non smokers that would like an outdoor dining experience. They have these really cool flame warmers and cozy seating but it REEEEEKS of smoke and is pretty intolerable. They really should ban it from the patio. just sayin'. Food was so delicious and the prices were too! Not on the menu (but they made special for me) was a scrummy scoop of vanilla ice cream with a shot of baileys over top...nice. thanks Hazellewood. I'll be back for sure! Ban the smoking from the patio so I can sit out there one night :)
(4)Guy G.
Have given this restaurant so many second chances, but no more. Our last outing resulted in overcooked food and sub-par service. We had tables around us come and go before we even got drink service. The manager did come out and apologize, but that's all. No comps, no explanation other than they were busy (most tables were empty). On my blacklist.
(1)John M.
Hazellewood is nice. They have really good bloody marys. Sometimes I think the dining room is a little too formal but their bar area is really cool. I really like the Shroom N Cheese Burger. Delicious stuff. And I really like their patio. It's like a more upscale Maynard's in Excelsior with actually good food.
(4)Nichole B.
This restaurant is in dangerous proximity to my work, so I go here wayyyyy too often. In my defense, it is delicious. I usually visit them in the morning hours which means oatmeal pancakes with fuji apples on top. Yes. They also have the best breakfast sausage and hash browns, it is just ridiculous. I went there for dinner last night and got the Chicken Meatballs & Spaghetti. Wow. The meatballs were HUGE and there was a perfect amount of pasta and sauce, with just the right amount of kick. (Usually my biggest complaint about restaurant spaghetti is that the sauce is too sweet, but their's is just perfect.) Thursdays are Ladies Night as well, so this meant half price cocktails for us! Yay, just what I need! :) Really though, the star of their menu is something that you don't even pay for. No matter what time you go, you always get a basket of piping hot popovers and hazelnut butter. They are amazing. Really. They are so good it is stupid. The popovers are delicious on their own, but I mostly use them as a vessel to shovel the hazelnut butter into my face. That stuff is like crack, amazing, buttery crack. So there you have it. Good service, great food, and butter crack. Just go try it.
(5)Mark L.
Food was exceptional, service only so-so. They ran out of popovers, which they showcase on their menu...still, the almond-crusted walleye and pork chops were great...the gouda au gratin potatoes awesome. Service was mediocre at best for a slowe Sunday evening. The reservation and the waitress were made aware of a birthday celebration, yet the waitress had to be reminded after dinner about a birthday dessert. Not a big deal but a all in all not great service. Worth another visit (breakfast, maybe?) due to the excellent food.
(3)Jennell E.
Excellent food and even better service! Our server had great recommendations and even was honest enough to tell us the couple dishes to skip (which I appreciate). Don't let the exterior fool you, it is cozy inside. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often, gem of a place.
(5)Amy M.
Good place for breakfast. Attentive staff and good coffee. I've eaten breakfast here twice. One time I made the mistake of ordering their special hash browns that have a sour cream sauce in the middle. Everyone else I was with enjoyed the hash browns but they really upset my stomach. Otherwise great food.
(3)Ashley S.
I wish there were an option for a 2.5, because I feel like Hazellewood is between a 2 and 3. We met some friends for a dinner here on a Saturday night. They live in the area and enjoy Hazellewood frequently, so we were excited to check it out. My husband and I are self-admitted foodies and enjoy trying new places, although I will admit we're a tall order and fairly tough to impress. I prefer to rate restaurants after having experienced them at least a couple of times, however I am fairly sure we won't be going out of our way to go here again. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't great. It was... it was fine. Nothing stood out, nothing wowed me, nothing was top notch. I felt like the place was trying to make people feel like they are someplace nicer based largely on location and ambiance, and that's pretty much where it ends. Hazellewood was about what I expected. The menu is broad (too broad). It's nicely decorated, the staff is professional and amiable (although they did mess up a drink order and forget to bring out one of our sides). My main focus is always the food itself. The first thing that annoyed me was the fish situation. They allow for people to select the seafood they want (scallops, salmon, shrimp, whatever), the way they want it cooked, and the sauce that's used. That's a red flag for me. The chef should know to make those decisions. It's fine if they want to do that, but then don't purport to be a fine dining establishment - that's all. Some yahoo is going to walk in and order his scallops broiled in a walnut sauce and think it's brilliant. So I guess that's great for the restaurant in a way because you want people to like your place, but it's isn't a true reflection of good cuisine. Anyway. My husband got the prime rib, which he liked just fine. It came with gouda hash browns which were okay. Believe it or not, it's nice to be able to taste the potato sometimes and not just the gouda. Maybe his batch had a little too much gouda. Or way too much gouda. Either way, one could hardly taste the actual veg. Despite my annoyance about the seafood situation I did order the scallops. Mine were overcooked. The veg (carrots) that came with the scallops were slathered and dripping with far too much butter (yes there is such a thing - I'm even part French and there IS such a thing). I'd be shocked if the popovers were not made from some box. I'd also be shocked if the fries weren't a frozen variety. The chocolate cake dessert was standard. It's chocolate layer cake. It's hard to mess that up. That was acceptable - there wasn't anything uber sensational about it. Unfortunately, the ambiance was destroyed by a large, noisy, overly spray tanned collection of husbands and wives who were seated at the table next to us - the kind of people who like to shout at whomever is sitting right next to them instead of talking like a normal person who is aware that they are in a public place. It was just obnoxious and didn't help. So overall, it was just okay. The food is not outstanding. If you are a foodie, or a good cook, don't bother. I really wanted to like this place because our good friends love it and it's their favorite place near their home. I'd go back if they want to meet us there again sometime, but now that I know what to expect, the context of the restaurant and the limitations of the kitchen, I would probably just stick to something like a burger or a salad.
(2)Jeff L.
Love this place. Huevos rancheros, banana cream waffle, gouda hashbrowns just some of my favorites. Great blood mary's also.
(4)Lauren S.
Hazelwood is probably one of the best restaurants in the Western suburbs. Located in a strip mall in Excelsior/Tonka Bay area this food consistently surprises me. Started out with a grapefruit martini that was more martini and less grapefruit. We then moved on to the beet salad which was so good and very filling. I suggest you share with someone else. Then I ordered the scallops which my waitress suggested I order in the pot. Excellent suggestion- they were amazing and differently prepared then I am used to. We skipped dessert but did also order the popovers which are everyone's favorite. My other diners loved their meals pasta and turkey dinner. But one of our guests didn't like the prime rib at all. We are able to sit outside which was amazing in March but there was no light on our tables so it was hard to see what the dishes looked like. The wait staff are very friendly but not very sharp. I asked for water and they brought me a glass but most servers would ask the rest of the table if they wanted some as well. He did not. Oh well!
(4)Keith B.
Swung in here after golf one Tuesday evening as it was a down pour and the "Tap" in the name peaked my interest. Pretty disappointing as they had 7 taps of the usual commercial swill and only one tap worth pulling (Surly, Furious). Food was good but somewhat spendy. Just had a Burger. Service was great and bartender was friendly not to mention easy on the eyes. I would definitely come back regularly if the TAP selection was upgraded, but won't cry as I drive by next time in my Golf Shoes!
(3)Loretta H.
Great breakfasts are difficult to find and Hazelwood has a great menu item called the Tonka Bay Slam. Yes, the gouda potatoes are included with a wonderful oatmeal pancake, eggs your style and bacon or sausage.
(5)Mollee F.
Don't let the strip mall setting fool you - this is a great restaurant in a weird location. The food is American comfort food done very well (don't skip the potatoes). Portions are generous and the service is solid. Most of the time, you won't wait a minute for a table. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the far west metro.
(4)Briana G.
This is one of my favorite restaurants! I am lucky enough to work in the area and try to get in there at least once a month. I have never had a bad meal. You can't go wrong with the fish tacos! There brunch is amazing..especially the smoked gouda hash browns :) Who can say no to a $2 Mimosa?
(5)Mike M.
Hazellewood Grill and Tap Room (Yelp, get the spelling right) is one of our favorite local haunts in the Lake Minnetonka area. Like many reviewers have said, the location and outside of the restaurant are not very impressive. However, the interior is very nice and wait staff, bartenders and hostesses are friendly and helpful. Above all, the food is great. If you want Minnesota comfort food this is your place. Steaks, hamburgers, chicken, meatloaf, walleye, you name it and they have it. For me personally it is the side items that are the most impressive. They have the most wonderful grilled asparagus I have ever tasted along with these incredible Smoked Gouda Gratin Potatoes that you could eat by the scoop. Top it off with a nice bar that has great happy hour and nice TVs to watch sporting events. Even if not from the area, give it a try.
(5)Katie R.
We just found this place for breakfast and will for sure be back soon! Super friendly and welcoming staff, interesting menu, delicious food, reasonable prices, and a great ambiance. My husband had the oatmeal pancakes with blueberries and apples. Hands down the best pancakes we've ever tasted! Thin and a bit crunchy on the outside and buttery soft on the inside. So wonderful! I had the Florentine Benedict that came with smoked gouda hash browns. Heavenly! Can't wait to get back and eat more!
(5)I'm O.
One of the best meal options around western Lake Minnetonka and without the pretense of Fletcher's or Maynard's. Because they're not on the lake they MUST deliver good food and deliver they do. Favorites include the prime rib, walleye sandwich and Carnegie sandwhich (no longer on the menu but if you ask nicely they may wrestle one up for you). The service is solid and they have some strong bartenders.
(4)Michael G.
Had the Reuben for lunch, the pretzel bun was amazing... Great fries too!!!
(5)Sarah J.
Great professional service. Food was excellent. The kids meals were excellent (the "best mac and cheese we've ever had" said the kids). Great beer options. Very nice interior design and ambiance. We would come back often as a family if it wasn't so spendy. Maybe it's more of a date night place for us as a couple.
(4)Brian S.
Had the angel hair pasta with chicken for lunch. Nice presentation and good taste. I will be back sometime when I can have a Surly on tap!
(3)Ross J.
We really like this place. It's tucked in a psudo-strip mall on County Road 19 as it runs between a couple of bays on Lake Minnetonka between Excelsior and Navarre. The interior is split into two sections with a bar on the left when you enter and the dining room on the right. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. The menu changes regularly and the food is always great. The menu skews toward comfort food which is perfect year round, but especially in the winter. Be sure to ask for one of the cozy booths. Happy hour is fully celebrated and both lunch and dinner specials have been added. Favorites include the walleye, grilled meatloaf and the turkey dinner.
(4)Jackie G.
I have driven past Hazelwood countless times but never went in. I was put-off by the fact that is in a cheesy strip mall. We finally stopped fighting our suburban tendencies last week and stopped in for dinner. The interior is nothing special. It looks like a restaurant in a suburban strip mall trying to be fancy (my mom loves it there "oooooh, it has a fireplace!). So at this point you are probably wondering: Hmm. It seems to already have 2 strikes against it (the exterior/location and the interior), how is it that it is getting a Yay! I'm a fan!? Well my friends, those 4 stars are for the food and the service. Everything we have eaten at Hazelwood has been great. They aren't breaking any new ground with their menu, but they do comfort food really well. They also have an attentive wait- and bar-staff. My husband really likes their burgers and their grown-up mac and cheese. I love the steak salad. Also - they have a pretty solid beer/cocktail/wine selection.
(4)Bryan E.
Awsome food! Great atmosphere! They have the best Prime Rib Sandwich. Everytime go it is the same great food and the staff is fantastic. Try the Hazelletini- vodka, Frangelico and tuaca. Yummy!
(5)scott W.
There are not many restaurants in the Lake Minnetonka area, that are of this caliber AND aren't on the lake, and therefore jam packed in the summer months. This eatery isn't far from the lake and offers great food at reasonable prices. They have great burgers and a wide selection of appetizers.
(4)mike b.
great service, great food. this place never disappoints. the bar area plays great music. go you wont be disappointed.
