Ridiculous! In this economy we need nice but affordable and reasonable restaurants. Im not surprised Copper Bleu is no longer here.

My husband and I ate there three times, and my sister and girlfriend once, all four occassions were great! This fine place is in an area where folks settle into homes worth a half million dollars and up, then can't afford to enjoy such an awesome place, let alone even furnish their homes. I see it everyday, greedy Minnesotans who want to have the biggest house and then not a penny to spend on good taste. Unfortunately, most families living in Lakeville and the surrounding area will eat at the nasty fast food chains and a place like CopperBleu simply cannot survive. I am so sorry to see CopperBleu close. I am so bummed that they are no longer open. My husband and I ate there three times, and my sister and girlfriend once, all four occassions were great!

It was just okay. All of us had some type of sandwich (pork, walleye, and burger). All of these were served on buns made of too much bread. I have to agree with the comment about the fries. They must have been made with some type of mini potato. They were almost closer to hash browns. Make bigger fries. I really wanted to like the place so I went back for dinner last night. The place was jammed, but we had a reservation and were seated quickly. We had a great waiter (Vanh). He was knowledgable about the food and like everyone else at this place very enthusiastic about this restaurant. I have been to Enjoy!, the other upscale south of the river restaurant, and have always felt they were doing me the favor by allowing me to eat there. Not here. This place is very welcoming. We had two appetizers. The waiter recommended the scallop flatbread. The flavor was awesome. The flatbread was a little soft, but the flavor so good, I would encourage everyone to try it. Our other appetizer was also great. It was a seared hamachi. Again, outstanding. All 4 of us ordered beef entrees. I had the bone-in 20 oz. ribeye. The temperature was as ordered, perfectly charred outside and wonderfully seasoned. Two people ordered the flatiron steak. Again perfectly cooked. This had the more beefy flavor of a flatiron and was served sliced. The last beef ordered was the "bistro" steak. I asked what the cut was and was told it was a suppliers secret. I wouldn't keep it a secret, I would get rid of it. It was the cheapest on the menu and was probably some part of sirloin, but it was tough and not very flavorful. Again though, it was cooked as ordered. We also ordered the tableside prepared mash potatoes. It seemed kind of gimmicky and totally unnecessary. Just give me a side of fresh hot potatoes and skip the presentation. We skipped dessert so I can't comment on that. I was happy to see that the place was really hopping. They don't have a happy hour yet, but was told maybe by the summer. I'm looking forward to going back soon. There are a lot of things left to try. Our bill was $175 including tip and a bottle of wine. Seemed fair to me. I have been to CB twice. The first time was lunch. It was just okay.

I disagree with s4xton, I found the building, the furniture, and the lighting to be very interesting and fun. Would you rather sit at a card table with folding chairs? Get over yourself already. The food was great. The menu has a ton of interesting options, even cheeseburgers for those of you Minnesotans that think ketchup is spicy. I highly recommend the bacon wrapped scallops. The chicken BLT is also pretty amazing. I can't wait to get back to Copper Bleu! I found Copper Bleu to be delightful.
