Dock & Paddle @ Como Lakeside Pavilion

I ordered the fish & chips this evening, for $16. That was a disappointment. There were three small, about 3 inch, pieces of fish each just slightly bigger than my finger. They were not battered but appeared to be breaded, and their dark color suggested that they left in the fryer too long. The chips were about 10 small wedge cut potato pieces. It all came with a small portion of tartar, and a pack of ketchup. Not very tasty, and definitely not worth $16. After the fish & chips I was still hungry. I had to be at the location for a community band performance, so I ordered the Cobb salad ($13). It was better than the fish and chips. The next time we visit Como Park I'll be bringing my own food. I can cook a lot better than those kids at Dock and Paddle.

My daughter was traveling with her dog so we needed outdoor dining. Food was good and beer was cold. Could use a furniture update in outdoor area. Inside is really nice, outdoor not so much (but great view). Pricing was as expected for area. Definitely a spot to experience. After lunch we went on a nice walk. Great trail system, both dog and bike friendly.

A quaint Cafe and Bar right in the heart of Como park. The menu is small but focused on fresh, high quality offerings with lots of health-conscious options. The tap list and spirit selection is impressive, as are the seating options. There is a huge outdoor patio overlooking the lake perfect for warmer weather, or two floors of indoor seating. A large meeting space makes up the third floor. Service is friendly but not particularly fast, so give yourself time to relax and enjoy a meal or drink.
