Ingredients Cafe - White Bear Lake

We stopped by this restaurant with some friends for dinner on a Friday night and really enjoyed our experience. There was a live acoustic band playing, which created a lovely ambiance. The overall atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. Three of us ordered the fillet, which was excellent. The sauce that accompanied it surprised us; it was even better than expected based on its description. We also tried the Dan-Dan Noodles, which were delicious—though some found them a bit heavy on the ginger. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be returning.

I ordered the Amish Bleu Salad, but it arrived without any bleu cheese or dressing. When I requested more dressing, I received what I was hoping for: bleu cheese. I also tried the Rigatoni Bolognaise, which is typically a meat-heavy dish. However, what I got seemed lacking in meat. The flavor was great, but it definitely needed three times the amount of meat. For $20, I expected more.

The food was excellent, though on the pricier side. Enjoying a meal on the terrace on a lovely evening was delightful. The rhubarb strawberry dessert paired with cinnamon ice cream was absolutely fantastic!

Unique menu, large layout and terrace for the location outside the city center usual path. Food was great and beyond the expectation, how delicious and a great presentation. The staff was friendly and a team effort kept our drinks topped and food timely. Recommended if you want a new menu for WBL.

Excellent food, with large portions. The pork chop with lomein was creative and tasty. You can get dinner and cover your lunch for the next day as well!
