Haskell's Port Of Excelsior - EXCELSIOR

Haskell's seems to focus more on drinks (particularly wine) than on food, and while the food menu is generic, it’s adequate for a bar that serves food—let’s not forget, this isn't a James Beard award-winning restaurant. It’s somewhat amusing to note that the outdoor seating is positioned right alongside the sidewalk, which makes it feel like diners are on display, almost reminiscent of a medieval street scene. However, Haskell's is unique in Excelsior for its low-key vibe, reminiscent of a small Minnesota resort town. I'd rate it a 4 out of 5, primarily due to some inconsistent service and the overall atmosphere (be prepared for some cigarette smoke if you choose to sit outside).

The atmosphere is wonderful, the burgers with fries are fantastic, and the view is exceptional. If you're looking for a unique local experience, be sure to stay for Bingo on Saturdays or enjoy a late Thursday evening playing pull tabs.

Very happy with this place. Nice attentive server. Well prepared, unique sports bar grub, Wonderful view.

Went for Lunch with My Favorite Aunt. Kind of spendy but the Grilled Cheese with tomato was amazing and it is in Excelsior after all. Wait staff was super nice, prompt and efficient! Clearing the table and making sure our drinks were full- this is a lost art at some restaurants but these guys nailed it! Thank you for a nice afternoon!

Phenomenal! The service was great! The food was AMAZING! We called ahead and made a reservation. Outdoor and indoor dining areas are available now. We were on the side of the building, outdoor seating, it wasn't too chilly due to the building blocking the wind off the lake. Definitely call ahead and make reservations. They are very busy. The parking is paid parking on the street. The food is very reasonable and large portions. Very fresh and delicious! You can tell the cooks were happy when creating their masterpieces! The atmosphere and energy is extraordinarily friendly. Very inviting, what an exiting time to get to eat out and enjoy friends and family!
