Artisan Coffee Bistro - Prior Lake

Simply my go-to restaurant/bar in Prior Lake. The new menu absolutely covers anyone's tastes, any part of the day for any occasion. Classy enough for date night. Down-home enough for the family and absolutely perfect for a business luncheon or dinner. Warm welcoming service. Great local art on display. Last but not least, priced perfectly.

This place is a hidden gem. Delicious food we had the steak sandwich (so tender! and the arugula prosciutto pizza. Awesome drinks and some music. We will be back!

A not very busy lunch spot that has great food. The Mahi Mahi tacos (Two flour tortillas filled with grilled mahi in a lime cilantro dressing topped with a sweet red cabbage slaw and mango salsa includes chips and salsa) are great but there are only 2 small tacos for $12.95. And there was a little too much dressing.

Every year the Prior Lake wrestling team has a fundraiser in which they sell coupon books. This is a great way for the team to raise money in partnership with local businesses (who then acquire more customers). Noticing the good Yelp reviews and the $10 off coupon for this restaurant, we started our Saturday evening here. I ordered the honey lavender latte which was smooth, flavorful and fresh. We also had the cheese curds which were fantastic, the dill dipping sauce complimented them well. Their chicken nachos were also very good. The chips were generously topped with seasoned grilled chicken and all of the usual toppings. Our server was friendly and regularly filled our beverages. When we attempted to use the coupon however, we were told that it is a scam . Thinking that perhaps she was not aware of the coupon, I showed her the book with details. I also mentioned that all of the other coupons that I 've used from this book have been honored at the businesses. The staff (assuming manager or team lead) informs us that other customers have also attempted to use the same coupon today and that they will not accept it. She then walks away...well that 's kind of a bummer. I still recommend getting some appetizers and drinks here.

We stopped by for dinner on our way home from New Prague after seeing the high ratings on Yelp, and we were not disappointed. We started with the bacon-wrapped shrimp, which were a bit messy to eat but absolutely delicious—perfect for sharing between two. My husband ordered the Java burger, while I chose the Skippy burger, and both were quite tasty. When we asked our waitress for dessert recommendations, she suggested an apple and cheesecake layer cake topped with caramel, and it was fantastic. I also had an oatmeal cookie martini to drink, which felt like having dessert with my meal—so yummy!
