Why We Love 6Smith
6Smith sits right on Wayzata Bay in the historic Boatworks building, and almost every seat has some kind of water view. The spacious patio and rooftop make it one of the most popular summer spots on the lake.
It’s an easy pick for a boat day, with public docks next door, and it stays lively year-round as a place to meet friends for dinner and cocktails.
What It’s Known For
🌇 The rooftop
The only rooftop dining on Lake Minnetonka, with views across Wayzata Bay.
🍹 Craft cocktails
A long cocktail list built for sitting outside on a summer evening.
🥗 New American plates
A broad menu of shareable starters, salads and entrées.
Know before you go: Rooftop and patio seats go fast in summer. The Boatworks building also houses Macanda, so you can make a night of it.
