Fantastic food and I would return bc of the quality. I had the Northern Girl cocktail, Mediterranean salad with salmon, shared the petite carrots, and the molton chocolate cake a la mode. Absolutely delicious. All the food was cooked to perfection. No excess salt and even the dessert was exceptionally balanced. Not too sweet. Easy access. Service was nice. The patio is a bit disappointing due to being in front of hotel, so freeway noise is present, but not overwhelming.

Stayed at the Sheraton Bloomington, and I was amazed at how great the food was. I just had breakfast, but I wish I had eaten there earlier--it was so good.

The food was delicious and the space is gorgeous! We took our 3 kids and enjoyed it! It is an upscale dining experience, which we enjoyed!

What an awesome place! The food was absolutely delicious and the ambience of the restaurant was spot on. However, the star of the evening was Todd behind the bar! Not only did he remember my unique name after hearing it once, but his warm, friendly and witty conversation made the night absolutely memorable. Wish it was open Sundays and later into the evening. Will be back!

We went here for the Easter brunch buffet. Overall the quality and selection was good. A couple items were a miss and I had one item not nearly hot enough in the chafing dish. The star of the buffet was certainly the desserts and the service staff. I was surprised we had to pay additional $5 and $3 for apple juice and lemonade on top of the steep $49 adult buffet price. When I asked, I was simply told juices were not included. That was a bit of a turnoff. With tip this was a very pricy holiday brunch buffet, but we were generally happy with the experience. I’ve been here separately for happy hour and the appetizer specials are a good deal and it has a nice bar ambience.

During a long weekend vacation, we returned to Lela for a second dinner with friends. In both cases all members of our party were impressed with the well prepared, delicious meal selections and thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance of the setting. We look forward to our next visit to the Twin Cities and returning to Lela.

Stayed the night at the hotel and dined in for breakfast as well as ordered room service for dinner. The ambiance was stunning but it was clear that the staff was sparse. This was okay for the most part because there was barely any patrons to begin with. The breakfast was okay - rather dry for my liking. The portions and the taste did not match the excessive prices. The dinner I could not finish. The noodles tasted excessively oily and left me with a unpleasant feeling in my stomach.

Eaten here many times. Italian inspired, everything is very good, and staff is great. Don't overlook the deviled eggs, best I've had. Also, being part of the Sheraton, makes it a great place to stay.

We went during restaurant week and it was such great food!

In short it was fantastic. Sea bass, scallops, crab cake, steak, kids spaghetti. All dishes were awesome. They have homemade pasta and I tried some of the spaghetti and will be getting pasta next time. Purple Bulleit is pictured and was good too!
