"Fine dining" is such a subjective phrase. When I think of fine dining I think of exceptional services. Others may think of haute cuisine.

I think this topic has been beaten to death, but in the Lakes Region, the consensus is that there are few if any "fine dining" establishments. This doesn't mean there are not any good or great restaurants, there are. My wife and I have our favorites (O's, Canoe, Ledge Water, Bernini's, Fratello's, T-Bones/Cactus Jack's, and even the Brick Front). However, the true fine dining restaurants are south of the border.
