Cozy, upscale lakeside date spot — great cocktails, cozy-lighting, and sets the mood without trying too hard. Highly suggest the Bread is Life appetizer - my fiancé and I have a hard time sharing it because we want it all!

My go-to spot for just about any occasion! I love their variety and seasonal menu and cocktail offerings, while always keeping the classic fan favorites. Obsessed with the burrata crostini, sweet potato fries, and their chimichurri aioli or anything ...
Margie's Kitchen & Cocktails
Great hidden gem in Champlin! Ginza is warm, friendly, and feels like the kind of place where they learn your order if you go enough times. It brings comfort and ease to your dining experience!
Ginza Sushi & Grill Restaurant
Sister restaurant to Margie’s! The biggest pro is that they are open 7 days a week so if you miss Margie’s on Mondays/Tuesday, hop on over to Maple Grove. Beautiful atmosphere for a slightly more upscale experience to Margie’s.

Buona Sera is your cozy, candle-lit Italian date night without the drive into the city.
This restaurant is approved by all my Italian family members and the rich pasta is *chefs kiss*

No matter if it’s the Maple Grove location or the Edina or any other - this is one of our go to’s for sushi! Crave is an upbeat and versatile restaurant that makes dining easy for any occasion or food preferences.

Okay - this one might be on the edge of the city but it’s worth it. Gai Noi provides a unique dining experience with a family style focus. The atmosphere is cozy and every table slightly unique. I highly recommend the pad-see-ew, bao buns, and currie...

Pinstripes is dinner and a date night built into one!!
It’s part restaurant, part bowling alley, part bocce but in a cute and elevated way. I love going there for their brunch buffet and then a walk around Centennial Lakes!

It’s the kind of place where the meal feels intentional so you can actually sit, talk, and enjoy being out together! This service has always been outstanding and the food even better. I think I could eat the lobster and leek pappardelle forever.
