I cannot say enough about how delicious our meals were. I moved to Scandia from Minneapolis where I was a huge foodie. It’s so nice to have a restaurant close by with gourmet food that competes with the fancy restaurants in downtown Minneapolis.
We had the tenderloin and halibut that were cooked to perfection. The server was very attentive. The ambiance is humble and sophisticated at the same time.
If you’re looking for a special treat this is it.

A quaint spot in the magical Marine on St Croix. If you’re looking for a romantic dinner or cozy spot with friends in a storybook town, this is your place. We were warmly greeted and seated near big windows. It’s not a very big space so it all feels very intimate.
I started out with a glass of house red wine which was so smooth and then ordered the Woodfired Grilled Lion’s Mane Mushroom that comes with wild rice and orange fennel glazed carrots. It’s on the spendier side at $24 but I found it to be so worth it. Lions mane is great for the brain and it’s always nice coming out of a restaurant not feeling stuffed and 10 pounds heavier. Everything was so flavorful and the mushroom is grilled in their woodfired grill inside. We ended with the chocolate mousse. So good!! They had a pot roast special for the night that also looked really good. There aren’t many menu options but this made it easier for ordering!
Great service and definitely will be back for special occasions.

Had high expectations after reading positive reviews. Service was extremely slow throughout and inattentive. Several little things added up for a disappointing night. Bread was cold on the inside, no silverware delivered with the apps, once delivered only one napkin for the two of us. Salads were solid, we enjoyed both of them. Our “tenderloins” were ordered medium rare with no pink anywhere in the steaks, essentially served well done. The cuts selected were also poor quality. After 15 minutes of waiting a waitress finally appeared to ask how our meal was. I was frustrated enough to not eat and leave. Luckily we were given a mandatory service charge of 20% for such poor service and food.
I wouldn’t recommend dining here, even with such a simple menu, they are unable to provide good service or solid food even with only 4 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. The table next to us also had to go inside to get service during the meal.
Yes, the manager refunded the steak that was overcooked and not touched. She did offer to recook it, but the service was so slow and poor at that point, it wasn’t worth sticking around.

The first time I came to Änna’s, I came for brunch, and had the best little side salad with mustard vinaigrette of my life and a very nice bacon and broccoli mini-quiche. The latte was also truly excellent; good baristas are behind the bar. I will take any opportunity to return to Änna’s for brunch ANYTIME. Four stars for the cafe!
The second time I visited was for dinner. I will admit, I’ve been putting off coming for dinner because as a very decent home cook, the limited menu made me leery that there wasn’t anything to order that I couldn’t make equally well at home, myself, for less. A strip steak with truffle mashed potatoes and broccolini for under $40 was finally what brought me in. The house salad I had beforehand is what stole the show—anything with creamy goat cheese and candied pecans is a sure-shot winner in my book, and their lettuce is so fresh and tender! Pretty sure the dressing is homemade, and has ingredients which may change by the season and/or chef’s whims, which is fun. I would eat a mixing bowl full of that salad and call it a meal, HAPPILY.
The steak, it has to be said, had great flavor. While it may not be seared crisp on the outside—which is what I look for in my steaks—it has a beautiful beef-y flavor that can’t be ignored. The broccolini was perfectly cooked, sweet yet earthy, and tender. The mashed potatoes, however…I will eat my hat if they’re not instant-made from a box. The graininess was a tell-tale giveaway. And not a hint of truffle (as promised) to be found. Disappointing. Equally disappointing was the ciabatta, which was neither a real ciabatta (crumb structure was way too dense and dry) nor came with butter as I’m 95% sure the menu said it did. The 20 minute drive home was spent incredulously pondering those potatoes. Could a restaurant that’s being hyped as one of the most exciting new places in the area TRULY be serving bad mashed potatoes? I understand the limitations of a wood-fired oven and small kitchen; a smart move would be to remove that side from the menu to focus more on what Änna’s does exceptionally well—and that is hands down their locally-sourced vegetables. Three stars for dinner.
The interior has changed a bit since its last iteration as St. Croix Chocolate Company’s former shop. It’s now très chic with clean Scandinavian lines and inspired, feminine light fixtures, perfect for a romantic meal and Instagram’s aesthetic. I found the service both times excellent. Unlike some, I don’t like having servers hang over me while I’m chatting and eating, and thus found the amount of attention perfectly friendly and suitable. When there was an issue, they were mature and forthright about it so we knew how they fixed it. Couldn’t ask for more! Four stars for location/ambiance/service.

Went out for a birthday dinner. The food was great the space is beautiful and full of light. We got to meet the owner/ head chef. The menu is small but high quality. A good portion of the food kn the menu sourced locally. The food tastes great and isn’t over salted.

Amazing! Pork loin with subtle wood fire flavors, accompanied by light greens and a yummy squash tart. Our chicken wild rice soup was the best we’ve ever tasted-fresh and light ingredients and delicious broth. Topped the evening off with chocolate mousse. This place is definitely worth the drive to the lovely town of Marine on the St. Croix. Right now it’s open Friday and Saturday nights. Highly recommend!!

Great spot for lunch or dinner. The wine is delicious and the service is amazing. The restaurant itself takes you to a France or European environment. Anna is so friendly and welcoming it’s worth the stop. If you’re passing through or dining around the area, I recommend stopping here.

Beautiful place, amazing food with complex layers of flavor. Plan to make your visit leisurely if it’s busy, the food and service are worth the wait! The menu is small, but everything was absolutely delicious!!

I like to quip about places like Anna’s that they didn’t hire a cook…they hired a CHEF! Skillfully crafted food that was amazingly delicious. Not highbrow ambience, if you’re into that sort of thing. Price scale I rate $$$. Service very attentive and individualized.

What a great place in Marine on St. Croix, I was welcomed with a smile when I walked inside. A few options for pastries, however, I came in for coffee this morning. They made me something special and when it was ready they brought it out to me! Today the sun shined bright through the large windows and filled the room, whether you’re meeting a group to sip coffee and chat or you need a place to get some computer work done outside the house, like me. This coffee place is the right spot for you, a true Gem of Marine on St. Croix.
