We have gotten to try two menus from Vann and we have always loved our experience! The space is beautiful. If you have a specific menu item you want from their social media posts call in advance to check, as we went the day after a specific dish was posted and they weren’t offering it that day unfortunately. We usually get a bottle of wine to share, and we’ve also added an extra plate on À la cart if there was something we just had to try in addition to our chosen three courses! Definitely the only option like this in the area, great for a special date night.

2/6/22…what an incredible night, new menu just breathtaking…all dishes we had just simply saying delicious, full of flavors …thank you chef Erik thank you Calvin! Absolutely phenomenal food and the service! Vann Restaurant team with the chef Erik did an excellent job. The food was absolutely amazing, service was very knowledgeable and involved, thanks Calvin! This restaurant is a definitely the place to visit . You can celebrate something special with friends and the family here. Vann is a very exquisite and very friendly place. The view of the lake helps a lot! Thank you all! P.S. you can put white tablecloths on the tables to make the restaurant even more special and very trendy.

We really enjoyed our dinner here! The staff were super friendly and it was a really cozy, intimate dinner. My only bummer is that I got sick in the middle of the night after eating here, not sure if it was the raw meat I ate or what. But I’m not going to hold that against them 🙂 probably my weak stomach. But we really enjoyed ourselves.

My wife and I went to Vann’s to try a new place, and due to its amazing reviews. All comments made based on comparisons to similarly priced restaurants in the metro.
We thought the restaurant itself is in an excellent location right across the street from the water. The server gave really great service and was very knowledgeable.
The food was fairly underwhelming for the price (270 after tip, 2 beers, 2 n/a beverages) in comparison to similarly priced places across the Metro. The Octopus was very good, probably best dish we had. The sushi rice dish was light in flavor, although had a nice texture. The sea bass dish was average, again light in flavor, and surprisingly fishy. The mushroom dish was probably the only thing truly unique / new to us (Morel mushrooms), and was very good. Only 2 small food courses (per person) before dessert – which is why we ordered the cheese plate. The deserts were average to above average.
Overall, the experience was definitely nice, but lacked a uniqueness and “wow-factor” that I would expect at this price point, not to mention the extremely low quantity (which would be fine if it had exceptional quality).

My boyfriend and I wanted to try a fun place to go out to eat for our anniversary that was fine dining but didn’t kill our budget. The quality of this food was absolutely phenomenal. The staff was great, the atmosphere was delightful, and the view from our table to the lake was beautiful!
Would absolutely recommend! (The dessert was not pictured and was totally my favorite part of the experience)

Pleasant atmosphere and great food! We had been wanting to try it out for a while and finally did for our anniversary last weekend. I liked the cozy setting and generous space from other tables. The smoked Sturgeon and Veloute were amazing! If they are on the menu – get them. My husband didn’t get as much of a horseradish flavor on the venison as he was hoping, but it was melt in your mouth texture and juicy. Dessert was lovely. Highly recommend!

We went here for an anniversary dinner on Saturday. A nice little spot near the water. The food was presented beautifully, but in our opinion, was underwhelming in flavor.
The scallops were served in a unique way, but the texture was a bit mushy and topping lacked additional flavor we were searching for. The squid broth was very good, but the dish over all had a very fishy taste. The squab was cooked perfectly, but we were again expecting more from the accompanying items on the plate.
We were disappointed in the overall food quality and wouldn’t choose Vann if looking for a fine dining experience. There are far better choices in the metro area.

It was so much fun, spending my birthday at a fabulous restaurant. Last Saturday was such a surprise as I was taken on a mystery ride to Vann Restaurant in Spring Park. The dinner was an artistc experience with fresh flowers, fabulous food, layers of flavor and lots of mystery along the way. Wonderful wine, a delicious dessert and exceptional service was had by all. Many thanks to the chef ……I will remember that evening for many years to come.

Elegant dining experience. Our waiter, who was was also the sommelier, was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive- but not overbearing. Love that the menu changes daily. We hope to return again soon.

Vann is a step above most other fine dining experiences near the twin cities. The unique flavors and perfectly cooked proteins garnished with edible flora not only adds vibrant color patterns to the well plated dishes, but also creates unexpected and subtle flavors you will find nowhere else. Bravo!
