Food was generous and delicious! My club sandwich had so much meat I couldn't open my mouth enough to get a bite! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

This intimate restaurant boasts delicious food, beautiful views, and a welcoming atmosphere. The bar offers a wide variety of drinks and I highly recommend trying any of the seasonal cocktails. The peach mule was perfect for a warm summer afternoon. I tried the Braised Tenderloin Tips Gnocchi and it absolutely exceeded expectations. The foraged mushrooms were full of flavor and the handmade Gnocchi were cooked to perfection. The sauce was rich and well seasoned and the meat was moist and tender. The side salad came out with a good assortment of fresh greens, homemade croutons, and house made dressing. We also tried the Cheese Curds as an appetizer and my companion tried the El Pastor Tacos both were a hit! For dessert we had the Peanut Butter Pie and one slice was perfect for sharing as it was incredibly rich! Our server was thoughtful and attentive throughout the meal and the rest of the staff was incredibly friendly. We will definitely be returning! update we came back for lunch and I will highly suggest the artichoke dip! It was unique and full of flavor a great way to start a meal. I had the Cuban Burger with sweet potato fries and everything was cooked to perfection. My companion had the club sandwich (not toasted, by request) and the portion size was generous. The original 5 star review stands!

We enjoy Arnie's frequently while golfing at Royal or just coming out for a relaxing meal, and it's a place we bring family and friends for a beautiful view and good food. The patio in the summer is one of our favorite spots in the Woodbury/Lake Elmo area, overlooking the course and lake. The indoor restaurant and bar are nice if not too crowded, when it can get hard to hear. We highly recommend the bulgogi rice bowl, braised tenderloin tips gnocchi, or the walleye dinner entrees as those are our faves, but really all the food is delicious. Shout out to our favorite server MARIN, who always recognizes us as frequent guests and takes great care of us! Also a shout out to MEREDITH, Royal's event manager, if you're looking for a fantastic place to book a wedding, wedding reception or any other event. We worked with her in 2019 for our daughter's wedding and could not have been more pleased with the venue, and especially her wonderful care and attention to detail for our event!
