In a move that promises to further enrich Wayzata’s culinary scene, Lindsay Pohlad has unveiled plans for “Eloise,” a new restaurant adjacent to her acclaimed establishment, The Grocer’s Table.
Named after her grandmother mother-in-law, Eloise Pohlad, the new venture aims to capture the essence of timeless elegance and community spirit.
Guests of The Grocer’s Table often liken their experience to dining in the comfort of a friend’s kitchen.
With “Eloise,” Pohlad endeavors to create a chic and intimate living-room ambiance, offering the Wayzata community a fresh and inviting culinary destination.
Taking over the former Lululemon pop-up shop next door, “Eloise” will have 85 seats and focus on an evening menu of upscale dishes and handcrafted cocktails, served with attentive full-service hospitality.
Reflecting on her journey with The Grocer’s Table, Pohlad expresses gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the community in a meaningful way.
“The Grocer’s Table has been one of the great joys of my life,” she shared in an Instagram post. “Being able to contribute something tangible and community-focused to Wayzata in a light-hearted and friendly environment has been so rewarding.”
Under the culinary guidance of Chef Craig Johnson, renowned for his work at The Grocer’s Table, the menu at “Eloise” promises to deliver an exceptional dining experience.
Meghan Walsh will continue her role as General Manager, overseeing operations at both establishments.
Teaming up once again with design firm Shea, Pohlad envisions “Eloise” as a darker, more intimate counterpart to The Grocer’s Table, while maintaining the same warmth and timeless charm that patrons have come to cherish.
“The team for the new concept is currently completing the design with the goal to open late fall 2024,” Pohlad reveals.
Alongside the indoor dining space, a patio will offer additional seating options, providing patrons with a versatile dining experience.
As anticipation builds for the unveiling of “Eloise,” Wayzata residents and visitors eagerly await further details, including menu offerings and the official opening date, set to be announced later this summer.
With “Eloise,” Lindsay Pohlad continues to shape the culinary landscape of Wayzata, promising another exceptional addition to its vibrant dining scene.
