Longtrees

Longtrees It felt like it would never happen, but Longtrees is back! We’ve built a space that celebrates everything we love about Alexandria.

Thank you for your patience, and your unwavering support. We can’t wait to serve you again! Field and forest to table ingredients are the bread and butter of our scratch kitchen. A real wood-fire grill is at the heart of Longtrees, where steaks and rotisserie chickens roast over an open flame. Taking inspiration from the natural splendor of the north, our menu transitions with the seasons, incorpo

rating locally hunted, harvested and foraged ingredients. For the adventurous type, we’ll offer field fresh game such as duck, elk, and venison, as well as foraged morels and lobster mushrooms along side classic midwest comfort food. Our full bar will offer signature cocktails without all the hubbub, as well as an unpretentious wine list and local tap beers.

The patio is OPEN! Come enjoy games, cocktails, and good times out our new patio!

The doors are officially open, Alexandria! 🎉
Well, the training wheels are still on but the kitchen is humming.
Longtrees at The Rune is officially OPEN FOR WALK-INS!
Come grab a stool at the bar, claim one of those leather chairs by the fireplace, and let Chef Mike and the crew feed you. We’re incredibly proud of this space and can’t wait to share it with you all. See you soon! 🍻

Alright, if you’re reading this, congratulations. You’ve probably watched the 'Coming Soon' sign on our door long enough that it has become part of your daily commute. We appreciate that level of surveillance.
It turns out, 'Soon' is Friday, May 29th. We think. (No, definitely, we are pretty sure haha j/k).
Now, like quietly tipping you off about where the Walleye are biting, we’re giving you the insider info on you how to actually eat here these first few weeks. MAKE A RESERVATION. We are strongly, politely, and slightly desperately encouraging reservations.
Why? Because while we’ve built the place to run like a well-oiled machine, right now it feels more like a 'moderately confused bicycle built for two.' We need to slowly break it in and reach full capacity without staring blankly at a crowd of hungry walk-ins. Limited walk-in space will exist, but we cannot guarantee you won't be that blankly stared-at person.
Save yourself (and us) the anxiety. Book a table at eatatlongtrees.com.
See you on Friday. Probably.

The ice has officially melted on our guessing window! 🧊🚜
A massive thank you to everyone in the community who played along with the Longtrees "Ice-Out" Challenge. We loved reading through all your predictions—some of you have some serious psychic abilities, and some of you clearly think we'll still be doing construction in 2030! 😂
While we lock in the final details and prepare to notify the lucky winners who nailed the exact day, let’s get the hype train rolling in the comments:

The Long(trees) Wait is Almost Over... No, Seriously. Ya, we’ve seen the side eyes 😏

You know the old Minnesota tradition of parking a tractor on the frozen lake and taking bets on the exact day it finally falls through the spring ice? Well, we’re doing that restaurant style.

Guess our exact Opening Day over on the Longtrees website. If you nail the date, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win an exclusive invitation for you and a guest to our private Soft Opening event!

Chef on the cover alert 📣

Our very own Mike Rakun is on the cover of the June issue of Lake Minnetonka Magazine —sharing a kickass family-favorite recipe for Sous Vide Ribeye with Chimichurri (and yes, it’s as good as it sounds).

From the restaurant kitchen to his own table, Mike’s all about bold flavors, local love, and cooking with heart.

We’re already hard at work on what’s next and can’t wait to welcome you to our new home at The Rune this fall. Stay tuned right here for updates as we get closer to opening day.

From all of us at Longtrees: thank you. We’ll see you soon 🧡

Longtrees is on the move!
To our incredible team of hospitality pros—thank you for showing up with heart, hustle, and genuine care day after day. You are the reason Longtrees feels like home to so many, and we couldn’t be prouder to have you at the center of it all.

And to our guests—the best patrons a restaurant could ever ask for—thank you for making this place more than just a spot to eat. Your support, your stories, and your love for Longtrees have meant the world to us.

Our final day of service will be Monday, May 26th, and demolition of the current building will begin the very next day. While we’ll miss this space, we’re beyond excited to bring you Longtrees 2.0 at The Rune this fall.

Until then, stop in for your favorite dish, raise a glass, and help us send this chapter off in true Longtrees style.
