Minerva's

Service was slow to a crawl last visit there. Server had very little knowledge of the food. I asked two simple questions because of alergies, and she had no idea and forgot to ask the kitchen until I asked again. The buffet is ok, and I think that is because I have the waffles which are made to order.

Best Restaurant in the lakes, hands down. The service sometimes is lacking but the food more than makes up for it. We always go for the pasta bar on Tuesday nights. Great selection and price. The desserts are too die for as well. I suggest getting the dessert sampler. It features 4 of their dessert selections, which seem to all be homemade. Delish.

whenever we eat at a restaurant, no matter wher it is, we compare it to Minervas. Minervas is the gold standard of restaurants.

My husband and I tried Minerva‘s for the first time last week. The food and service were great- I couldn‘t decide if I liked my chicken or my husbands pasta better. We will definitely be back!

Minerva‘s is back! We heard there was new management in the kitchen & boy, is it obvious! Fantastic, fresh food! We also attended a wedding reception & it was by far the best we had been to in the Lakes area. Way to go, Minerva‘s, keep improving & you will become our only stop when we are in ‘Boji!

Minerva‘s has great food and the best Sunday brunch I think I‘ve ever had! They also catered our wedding reception that we held at Arrowwood and many people complimented on how great the food was!

YUM! The house salad is amazing and the meals were HUGE! Super fast service, meal was at our table in 15 minutes and we were seated right away. They had a nice kids memu too. Fruit was fresh and good. Food was hot. I would go there everyday!

Minerva‘s used to be a fine restaurant with excellent service, excellent food. In the last few years their service has slipped horribly (i.e. waiting at the Host station for 10 minutes before anyone comes to seat you -- in a near-empty restaurant.) Once seated, service is slow. I would be embarassed to have my name on the place if my name was Minerva! It in no way compares to the Sioux Falls Minervas.
Dessert doesn‘t always taste fresh.
I must say their Sunday Brunch is excellent. Pasta Night is also very fun and the food is great.
The atmosphere is also very nice. Coffee is good.

The pasta bar on Tuesday evening is outstanding. The chef always has a special pasta sauce that is delicious.

Best place for a Sunday brunch when you are at the Great Lakes!

Compared to the SF Minerva‘s, this one isn‘t even in the same universe. POOR service last two times there and marginal food.

Minerva‘s is by far the best dining experience we have had in all the years we have been coming to the Lake. ‘Ladies day out‘ luncheons are held there every year for our family. The service is excellent as well as the food. I have never had a bad meal. Must try the tomato bisque!!! Great place to take Birthdays. They have a nice surprise for them.

I‘m not sure why Minerva‘s isn‘t rated as one the best restaurants in the Okoboji area. Great food, casual atmosphere, reasonable prices. You have got to try the seafood mac and cheese. You‘ll love it!!

Great food and a nice atmosphere.
