Fantastic food with even better service! Kimia made excellent recommendations both for dishes and wine. She is a knowledgeable server and excellent sommelier! She checked in on us regularly and even filleted the whole dover sole with expertise. As Kimia recommended, I also want to urge diners to try their Scallop St.-Jacques together with the Cauliflower Souffle. It is a fantastic combination, whether eaten together in one bite, or the decadent souffle first and then the scallop with a punchy, acidic sauce, which cuts through the richness of the souffle's cream and gruyere.

Best Easter brunch we have ever had. The food selection was more than we expected and everything was delicious. Very impressive and the service was impeccable. My uncle says we are coming back for Mother's and Father's Day if Edinburgh has another brunch buffet those days. Yes, please!

If you enjoy classic French Bistro fare, I highly recommend Therese. My table enjoyed French Onion Soup (the best I have had in some time), the Bibb Salad, Steak Au Poivre, and Chicken A La Creme. Every dish was absolutely spot on and delightful. I asked for the steak medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. I once again have to shout out the French Onion Soup. Perfect for a Fall / Winter evening. Our server was timely, professional, and courteous. Courses were spaced extremely well. There is a decent selection of wines to choose from, and they complemented the meals wonderfully. We finished with espresso and a classic Creme Brûlée, This was also wonderfully executed with the right chill and crust. High marks for Therese and can't wait to go back. If you like French food - you must try Therese.

We come to the Nicollet Island Inn every year on our anniversary since we had our reception here 26 years ago. It never disappoints. Food is varied and delicious. The wait staff is excellent.

    Incredible evening of wonderful food. Our group ordered several plates to share including the Big Eye Tuna Curd (so silky and special!), the Bolles wheat dinner roles (yum with maple butter), Pommes Dauphines with gruyere cheese fondue (highly recommend), and grilled carrots (I loved these). Each of us individually ordered and entree- my walleye was so fresh and with the lightest coating that allows the fresh walleye flavor to be the star of the show, a friend had the pheasant which I was lucky to try and would probably order that when I go back and the steak- absolutely perfect. For desserts I recommend the Poached MN Apple and the Cookies and cream- we also had the raspberry parfait which was good but less special than the apple and the cookies and cream. The pickle smash was my favorite drink of the night, very light and refreshing dill flavor, others had the paper airplane, and the old fashioned and all were very happy with their selections. I doubt you could go wrong ordering anything you see on the menu. What a special meal!
