About ROOT RIVER 102
Our team
We are Lori, Randy and Autumn (the little one) Rakosnik and after 25+ years in corporate America, split between Chicago and far northwestern Minnesota, we couldn't be more excited to have put our roots in Minnesota Bluff Country! In just a short time, we feel like we've made some wonderful friendships and are anxious to reopen our doors to tourists and locals alike. Our mission has been, and always will be, to make a difference wherever we go.
When you stop in, please take a moment to find us and say "Hello". We love to find out where our reach has extended and from where our guests have joined us. Typically, you'll find all three of us at the restaurant, but you will ALWAYS find at least one of us there! We look forward to your visit.
Best Selection
We feature 12 unique craft beers; 60+ wines by the bottle; 15+ wines by the glass and over 40 different bourbon/scotch/whiskeys. Pair any of these, or one of our signature cocktails, with some delectable shareable plates, and you're sure to have a memorable visit.
Beautiful Outdoor Dining
During the summer in Lanesboro, everyone wants to be outside and enjoy the weather and beautiful views of the bluff. Our outdoor patio and deck allow guests to relax and enjoy the natural beauty while sipping their favorite libation.
