Great food and service. Huge portions for the sides, definitely share those!! Waitress was wonderful as well.
Have been coming to this place for years on business and always such a wonderful, old school, classic and classy atmosphere. Tonight I arrived at the hotel and sat at the bar for a quick dinner and loved that the service for someone solo and not at a table was the same top notch experience. Wes was a gem of a bartender, asking your name, providing his, inquiring what you were interested in from wines to food and offering suggestions, super attentive, and adding this personal touch to my beverage. This place is not only the perfect business or special occasion dinner, it's a perfect "make you feel special" no matter when you are there kind of place. Highly recommend.
Classic elegance fit for date night or a special occasion. Delicious steak, but save room for wild rice soup and creme brûlée dessert. Service was top notch; friendly and helpful. We felt so fancy walking into the St Paul Hotel entrance. The restaurant was not as lavishly decorated as the hotel but was still beautiful and filled with handsome dark wood. We got lucky and found some on-street parking a block away. Valet parking is available at the hotel if you have a hard time finding parking. FOOD: Complimentary Bread (4/5): served warm with crispy crust and soft spongy center. Filet Mignon (3/5) it was delicious but there was no wow factor compared to other steakhouses. Wild Rice Soup (4/5): extra creamy and so filling. I wish I had ordered the cup instead of the bowl. Hash Browns (5/5): perfectly crispy and PLENTIFUL; could have fed 4 or 5 people. Burnt Creme (Creme Brûlée) (5/5) a perfect execution to a classic dessert IMHO.
This is a GREAT, classy, but pricey restaurant and bar inside the historic St. Paul Hotel. They are located on the first floor. The food was very good! Again, pricey, but you get what you pay for. The bar is really cool. One wall is covered in photos of famous people from Minnesota. The rest of the back bar wall is all of their liquors on. Ice shelves with mirrors behind it. WES is the bar tender there and he is amazing!! After a really crappy day, I went into the bar, sat down and asked Wes to make me a cosmo or martini and just surprise me. I love lemon drop martinis and that's what he made me! He gave me excellent advice on my dinner choice and made a killer chocolate martini too, with my name in it! I can't afford to eat there alot, but I will definitely be back! A great spot for date night!!
We had a great dining experience at the St Paul Grill! It has an upscale old steakhouse look with dark wood and white linen tablecloths. The entire staff is amazing from the minute you walk in the door (they even changed our table to give us extra room for a baby in a car seat). Our server was so nice and helpful, and gave us great recommendations. Our group had the shrimp cocktail, NY strip, chicken (this was huge), crab cakes and sides of hashbrowns and corn succotash - and everyone enjoyed their food. I had the halibut, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor - and also an espresso martini which was one of the best I've had! We'll definitely be back!
The service here is fantastic! My coworker and I stopped by about 15 minutes before the kitchen closed (I know, I know!) and we weren't rushed one bit. I only ended up getting the Apple Crisp dessert and the Carrot Cake (haven't tried it yet, got it to go) and my co worker order the pork chop. She loved her meal and we both really enjoyed the Apple Crisp with ice cream. The scotch menu is plentiful. The restaurant reminded me a bit of a speakeasy and I loved that. Would highly recommend checking out this place.
I came back here to get the Pear Berry Salad but, alas, it was no longer on the menu. So, I settled for the Wild Rice Soup and a simple Caesar salad. In good news, it was all very tasty. The soup is especially delicious--warm, thick, and flavorful. I also tried the lava cake for dessert. The cake was good, but the ice cream was amazing! I will just order the ice cream itself in the future. I'll be back!
Food 5/5 - I went for a lite lunch mid week. The berry salad was fresh and packed full of berries and nuts and the carrot cake was to die for. The St. Paul Grill never disappoints! Service / Ambiance 5/5 - The overall ambiance is quite and nice place for a fancy meal, business lunch, or just a nice meal out. We had a pleasant experience with the wait staff and our food came within a timely manner.
I always enjoy the St. Paul Grill, whether it is for lunch, brunch or dinner. It's been a while since I last ate here, but had a pleasant lunch. The overall ambiance is quiet. The Food: Cobb Salad: I got the Cobb salad and added some filet medallions. The perfect touch! 5/5 Carrot Cake: I can't go to a restaurant and not get the carrot cake if it's on the menu. This cake was great, but a little dry. Maybe I got it on the wrong day. 4/5
