Thank you for choosing the Lake Elmo Inn for your upcoming event.

Here are a few commonly asked questions and some further information we will need to aid in the preparation of your reservation.

Please review the lunch or dinner menus. You may choose up to five entrees off our menu for your guest’s selection. (Groups of 15 or more) Please keep in mind that a beginning soup or salad is not included with your entrees. You may choose to offer your guests a cup of soup or a small salad. See your choices and prices below. This is a discounted rate for your large group.

Beverages are also additional: coffee, tea and soda/pop are $2.50 and are refillable. (Lemonade/Arnie Palmers are non-refillable). Cocktails may be either hosted (all on one tab), drink tickets, cash bar or not offered at all. Please let us know which option you would prefer. There are many variations to fit any budget.

With luncheon entrees please choose either wild rice, linguine, French fries, or Homemade chips and sandwiches please choose either a cup of soup, salad of the day, French fries or Homemade chips. With dinner entrees, please choose from two starch choices: baked potato, linguine or our wild rice medley.
