Afton House Inn Description:
Located approximately 30 miles from the Twin Cities, this dining destination in the tiny river-town of Afton has been drawing yacht owners, and couples celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, for years. An old-fashioned spirit pervades but make no mistake, the menu does not consist of grandmotherly potpie fare. We're talking seared scallops with Thai chili sauce for starters. Entrées like a mushroom-crusted rack of lamb. Seared pheasant breast. Quail accented with fennel and spinach with pine nut ravioli tossed in rich brown butter sauce. Still, the truth is we most love coming here because this is one of the few places where they continue to do some specialty tableside cooking. Caesar salad is prepared in front of you, and steak Diane gets flamed with brandy before your eyes. If nothing else, we advise ordering one of the flaming desserts---cherries jubilee or bananas Foster. Wine is taken seriously here, too. Added bonus: we appreciate that vino is served in Riedel stemware.
