"It’s hard to go wrong with beautiful fish and pristine waterfront views, especially at Mizu Japanese, a stylish sushi bar adjacent to a marina on White Bear Lake. Mizu offers a wide variety of nigiri and sashimi, from yellowfin tuna to surf clam to sea urchin to squid. Plus, its entree selection feels more deliberate than that of many sushi restaurants; there are the typical teriyaki salmon and yakisoba dishes, but also miso-glazed sea bass and a few types of ramen. Mizu hosts happy hour from 5-6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 4 p.m. til close on Sundays, the perfect time to visit and try the Bombay Sapphire Sparkling Lemon." - Cecilia Johnson
